Not going to happen. Since the cutscenes are rendered in real-time you would have to install that particular chapter to view the cutscene.

1.4 - And if you've played the game all the way through
Then all the data would be on your hard drive already. This happened with the MGS3 Subsistence game, where if you already beat the game the cinemas were unlocked.

I'm guessing Kojima may do something similar, though through an online update rather than making us purchase the game all over again.

1.5 - It goes something like this...
-In the end, Snake has 6 months left to live.

-The game was released on June 12th worldwide.

-6 months from then is December 12th.

ugh...headache.

Also, it was rumored to be a time-unlock, except it doesn't read the time from the PS3 clock, but online. So we can't cheat like in MGS3(the death of The End by old age)

Looks more badass Than solid......love them both though I know he is the original but you get so use to playing with solid you know, It's hard to replace him.

1.7 - I wouldn't mind playing as Raiden in sections of the game...
in which you complete missions to gather info or to aid Snake, while Snake is on his missions. Not necessarily interact with Snake while he's in the field...

...Just complete parallel missions kind of like Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield in RE2 or Ada Wong on RE4 do

You have to admit... playing as Raiden fighting against Vamp on top of _____ and seeing Snake fight off all of those Geckos in the split screen would be pretty cool :)

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS BELOW!

Well here is the problem. Snake never says he has only 6 months to live. Naomi told Snake this. This was before Drebin provided the Syringe with the new Foxdie. As Big Boss told Snake in the cemetery, the new Foxdie is already counteracting the old one and one day it will go active again, but no one knows when that day will be.

Does it really need to be longer. I already nearly fell asleep during the current ending.

1.14 - I already own MSG4 SE
Theres no reason for me to spend $60 on a game I already have for a little longer end cutscene. I LOVED the MGS4 cutscense, I'm not saying they suck and that's why I'm not buying it. I'll just play MGS4 over again(I've already beat it 7 time and and got the BB emblem) and then watch the extended ending on DailyMotion or MetaCafe.

Although I might buy it since I like to support developers who truely care and put they're heart into a game (Kojima).

HMMMMM...oh well. MGS news is ALWAYS something to get exited about:D

Kojima knew about trophies long ago and has been planning to release them since launch lol. I wouldn't be surprised

Cliff_BleSHITski - 413 days 15 hours ago
3.4 - YAY TROPHIES
If this is the only version with trophies then i will buy it! I've mastered the 5 hour Boss playthrough and i REALY want to show all the people that say I'm lying.

PSN gamers:"Liar"
Me "look at my trophies"

Trophies + Extended ending + guraenteed AAA game = AWESOME!

I'm assuming this will be the "Existance" version and "Exsistance" might have something to do with the new ending*rubs chin* I wonder who might "exsist" that we don't know about?

Exactly.

Effing end cutscenes are rediculous.
70% of the people that played it probably shut it off at the credits.

and then missed another hour of kojima trying to fill in the plot hole that is the Metal Gear series.

MG/MGS is a game with a 20 year history.The ending was perfect.
Couldn't of asked for a better way to send off one of the most iconic video game characters of all time.

Mod Edit:

Don't spoil the Gears of War 2 ending or any other ending as alot of people haven't finished or played some games.

Im not saying that I didnt like it, I am just saying that it was pretty extended.

I am sure this new extension will give way to a sequel if that is what he wants to do.

Ya honestly. Ive played every MGS game except 4 and can tell from the picture exactly who is standing next to who. I wont spoil it for people that cant tell. And if that is the case the ending looks pretty dumb.

Finally, because while I was watching the ending I was thinking to my self:

"Why is this so short?"

"Is there anyway the could make this longer?"

lol

I still think MGS3 is better.IMO. The boss battles were better and the game relied more on stealth.

In MGS4 I pretty much blew threw it with my super customized M4. There just wasn't enough of a penalty in MGS4 for being seen. IMO.

They could have pushed that feature further.

Try going for the Big Boss Emblem. or atleast end it on The Boss Extreme Difficulty.

You will see the "Penalty" you're looking for.

@bouncybullet

You obviously haven't played MGS4 nor have a PS3.

You only have a PS2 that's why you root for MGS3 like no other.

Time to move on. Ask you parents to buy you a PS3.

Well sort of, but I was quoting the words as if they not a part of the sentence. It's hard to explain but how else could a person say that without it sounding ironic?

what you were saying and doing.....I just thought the sentence was interesting. I would have given you bubbles if you said you intentionally set the sentence up to be ironic...while still conveying your point.
