I was secretly hopping for the skateboard music from MGS2 Substance, but it'll do, especially reassurance of the motif towards the end of the text.

Can't bloody wait for that game...

They better include that track

New Kojima Report

http://mp.i-revo.jp/user.php/kp-ryan/entry/138.html

Listening to it right now. Ryan was asked if it's safe to say that the rumble in the DS3 is better than the rumble in the DS2 and he said "Absolutely". Also they only got the drivers to add rumble into it a week before TGS.

On the demo

"All I can say is that as of tomorrow we're going to start working on the English demo."

Next Thursday the trailers for MGS4 and MGO should be on PSN. Ryan hasn't submitted them yet.

Prisoner posts himself to freedom
A convicted fraudster escaped from a high security jail in Germany after climbing into a cardboard box and posting himself to freedom.

Max Friedener, 28, escaped from prison in Darmstadt after hiding in the box in the mailroom. He escaped from the mail van as it was driving away.

The escape was only noticed when the mail truck arrived at the sorting depot and the hole in the box was spotted.

It is the second time a convict has earned a ticket to ride by using the mail system.

Only last month a convict in neighbouring Austria escaped from Graz prison by posting himself out in a large box that was supposed to contain lamp post parts. Both escapees are still at large.

"And while Metal Gear fans are pouting over the most recent Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots delay, Kojima Productions hasn't been snoozing about taking the series in other directions. While everyone else is taking their franchises to Nintendo DS, Metal Gear is sticking to PSP, with a brand-new (that's not a spin-off) game headed to the portable, this time taking Snake back to the early days of his career."

If it's set in Snake's early days, I'm guessing that it's a remake of Metal Gear. There's really nothing significant that happened to Snake before he joined FOXHOUND, asides from fighting in the Gulf War. Plus Outer Heaven was his first mission that involved all of this stuff with the Patriots and whatnot.

And add to it, the original Metal Gear aged horribly due to how the series advanced to the cinematic masterpiece it is now. While most games don't need remakes, Metal Gear needs a remake.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

it must be a MG remake. unless were fighting in the gulf. or its set between mg2 and mgs1.
i would prefare a mg remake tho. tht would own

 

[Mr Jide]

Personally, I think if mgs4 is the last of the series, then Kojima should just remake the original mg1 and 2 for the ps3.

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

That'd be great. Rounding the whole saga out for the current generation of gamers

Krazy Kojima is officially fed up with Metal Gear. I mean, damn, he's been stuck with the same franchise for more than 10 years now. I'm pretty damn sure he'll kill off Snake and just about every other major character in MGS4 only to spite all the fanboys out there "haha, Snake's dead, no more death threats for me, b**ches".

I'm pretty sure that Kojima will kill Snake for that particular reason.

However, instead of ending the death threats, Kojima will probably end up in a Misery situation.

Bump, with screens of the new mobile game.

Annoyingly, the story is in canon with the MGS storyline, which means I'll always look on my near complete MGS collection and think "Yeah... but I don't have that game." Along with Ghost Babel and Intergral, which I will need to buy at some point too.

[CorpusBlack]

I've searched and searched. Does anyone know what the release date (or tentative date) is for MGS4?

 

[uchiha_itachi]

april or may is my edjucated guess.

 

[CorpusBlack]

april or may is my edjucated guess.

I'm hoping that's about right. One of the guys at GameStop was telling me it was going to be late summer or fall now, but he wasn't sure.

Nice avvy btw.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

thanks, i robbed it from some gif thread in TDK forums i think lol

yeah it should be around then because Kojima said the 2nd Quater of 2008 and with the delay in realese which he was embarressed about i reckon it wont be any later than may or april. Specially since the game is in its final stetch now.
