1UP: Metal Gear Solid 4 Preview

42
War has changed, and so has Solid Snake. He's old now, though none of his comrades are -- and rumor has it that he has just six months left before his rapidly aging body gives out. Endless conflict has spread across the world as a self-sustaining economic force, Liquid Snake (now Liquid Ocelot) has his own military force that is as large as any nation's, invincible robo-women rule the battlefield, and little baby Metal Gears are an inexorable battlefield presence capable of annihilating entire platoons in an instant.

"War has changed, and so has Solid Snake. He's old now, though none of his comrades are" -- "Welcome to Metal Gear Solid 4, the latest, bleakest, and most absolutely final chapter of the Metal Gear series. (Or so we're promised.) For all its bleakness, it's also the most modern Metal Gear yet"

There is some bad journalism in my Metal Gear Solid.

Definitely Gamespot.

"There's to much variety in this game. The OPEN world is way to OPEN. There is way to many guns, and there is way to many things to do period, what a disappointment, in fact the game is WAY to long bordering at 30 hours with WAY to many extras, I'm sorry I have to give this game 7.5/10".

Equally rivaling 1up's review.

"This game is so bleak, seriously I think it may be the bleakest in the bleak series although it's in a bleak and modern/futuristic bleak setting. It's really heart breaking to give this massively hyped bleak game a bleaking rating of 7/10."

My predicted ratings. 1up A Gamespot 9.0

Those will be the lowest scores for MGS4. They won't be able to bring it any lower for fear of their life

@1.1
It depends on who rates it on 1up. Shane was invited to play the game at the Kojima event, and he seemed estatic, and based off what he played (which was played months before the release) he seemed to be ready to give it an A+ or 10/10. I got this feeling because he says "Even if the don't fix the minor problems like the harsh difficulty during a certian mission, I already know what I would rate this game." Believe what you want, but I expect at least a A- from 1up. Maybe a 9.0 from Gamestop.

I think this game is really scared the sh!t out of M$... their executives have been talking smack of the competitions and tried to divert attention more to them... and this game is just the beginning...

I reckon 1Up like this game - check it - "The hype for this game is starting to hit the sort of ridiculous peaks that Halo 3 enjoyed...but it's not without merit. Few games can claim such an impressive level of gameplay detail, narrative ambition, and big-budget polish. We love rooting for the underdog, but sometimes the triple-A hits really are worthy of the hype"

That's what I like to hear, because I really think this game deserves the hype just as much as Halo3 or GTA4.

8 - to be honest.
i don't think anyone can say anything bad about this game unless it's blantently obvious that they're just being fanboy's.

the story is one of the best well known stories of all time

the graphics are the best of any game out right now

the gameplay is unprecedented............

the voice acting is grade A

the sound is according to previewers..........grade A

the production value is grade A

the cutscenes are........the best. not even movies rival it. and think about watching a 8 hour movie thats better then any movie you've ever seen and then playing that movie for 20 hours...........it's EPIC

the replay value in just the single player is grade A(not even mentioning online)

only downside to this game is MGO(which is descent but no where near the single player expierence)

mgs is perfection and a game that no hardcore gamer should miss. no other game comes close to mgs. this is...............PERFECTION aka METAL GEAR.

only thing that reviewers can honestly say about this game that's bad is the multiplayer. and if thier pulling at straws, then thier going to complain about the cutscenes being too long even though 20 hours of the game is GAMEPLAY.

however. i won't know what these reviewers will be saying because when mgs comes out..........i won't be on this site for at least 4 months

Nothing is perfect, but MGS4 is one of those games where the bad is so unnoticeable. The game is going to be Game of the Year and if it gets any bad reviews then its pretty much obvious how bad the gaming press is these days.

8.2 - well you know what....
we have had some good games (ps3 owners) and yet they find crap... it's not that they can't say crap, it's just that they find crap.. look at R&C ToD.. he said that there was too much variety...

Sometimes i think that these guys may have one ps3 in the office they probably can't afford one so they're mad.. the other and more logical explanation is that most of their readers are 360 owners who like to bash the ps3 so they talk bad about the ps3 to keep them happy...

Either will doesn't matter what they say.. mgs4 will sell pretty good and i'll be playing it.. i just wish that they would take their scores off the final met reviews cause that would bring most ps3 overall reviews to a higher score

@8.2
Yeah i agree with you. Ratchet was an amazing game so was uncharted but its reviews didn't do justice with the game quality. Similarly look at Heavenly Sword, it was an amazing game and had solid combat, but they bashed it for its length etc. This time with MGS4 they will say "to long", not enough variety, confusing story etc. etc. Someday I wish, someone just hack there servers and blow everything up.

yeah that makes since. NOT. "lets see man i really want metal gear solid 4. thats the game i really want to play, but i'll go ahead and buy my ps3 a year before it comes out."
i think people who are waiting for metal gear well probably buy the console right around metal gear release.
not to mention all the big metal gear fans who own 360's.
i wonder if any of those guys well buy a ps3 for this game, and FF, and GT.
i'm willing to bet there were a lot of ps1 and ps2 fans who bought the 360 when it came out, and i'm willing to bet they are waiting for their favorite ps1 and ps2 games to hit the ps3. guess what? here they come.

so your right hardcore SONY fans bought the ps3 when it came out. EVERYONE else is just waiting for theirs games.

on topic. i really want this game.
