Ó

KojimaSome of you guys might be busy on your Portable Ops mission with Naked Snake. For the die-hard MGS fans out there, it goes without saying that you better make sure you're playing it well, through and through - y'know squeeze all of it for what its worth. Because Hideo Kojima already hinted that both Portable Ops and Guns of the Patriots are going to be interconnected.

Anyways, Big Man Kojima just spilled a couple more beans on MGS4 recently. For one thing, it seems that he's confirmed the previously expected "end of 2007" release for North America. Well, that much we sort of knew already. However, the info below is just like a slab of meat wagging before our very faces. What a tease!

Now before we reveal anything, we just have to say that it took us some time to figure out the Google Translate of GameFront's coverage on "Metal Gear Solvent 4," so please, bear with us for a while. You know how tricky some online translations can get. Besides, some of these have already been known or hinted at before, so it doesn't really take a genius to figure them out:

  • The injections, which Snake gives itself, are to take a very important role in the play...
  • At the weapons numerous modifications can be made, and the player will be surprised, as many are it. A stage of development are garnet throwers, sight, mufflers, laser target acquisition and light/lamp. It is also possible that one implements several changes at the same time at a weapon.
  • The opponents are not always only behind Snake ago.
  • With the camouflage system Octocam will not be only possible it to change color and surface however the form.
  • There are prototype weapons, which one can use. In addition there are invented weapons from Kojima.
  • Raiden will not be playable, because Kojima does not want to make the same error as in Metal Gear Solvent 2.
  • Metal Gear solvent portable Ops stands in connection with Metal Gear Solvent 4; Kojima does not want to betray however, in what respect.
  • An emotional side will have the enemies: If they are scared, they will spend less time to look for Snake.

You know what I thought the coolest thing would be as far as enemies getting scared? If three guys were chasing you and you went around a corner and camouflage yourself, then when they're looking in different directions you sneak up on one, slit his throat, and hide again. Then the 2 other guys turn around and get freaked out and when they look again you pop out and slice the other one's throat. Then the last guy would get scared and run away and you'd pop out and shoot him.

release date for america, end of 2007? thats a hella long way off if your in europe! were talking a year after the PS3's release in europe... though it says on play.com that its out on release. but i guess thats just a fill in for all PS3 games


   Re: Mleep (Unregistered) - 2006-12-09
 » Huh?

What do you mean "a year after PS3's release in Europe? " PS3 will be released in March 2007 in Europe. That doesn't mean MGS4 will come out March 2008 in Europe.

Right, MGS4 will come out in America at the end of 2007. Then in europe we will get it start of 2008, say february to march time. So that means we will probably get MGS after a year of the PS3 being realeased in europe?

 » Proper translation

Here's a proper translation Lakitu posted on GAF:

"-Regarding Young Snake, Kojima wouldn't say a word. He also refused to shed light on the injections, but he jokingly referred to them as "garlic shots." He did confirm that the injections do play a critical role in the final game.

-Gun mods are in the game. There's a section of the interview dedicated to this topic in particular, so once I have time I'll be sure to post the details.

-Kojima talks about the octo camo, and how it can change its color and texture. However, it cannot alter its shape. For example, Kojima said that an octopus cannot change itself to look like a dog, but it can mimick a dog's fur.

-Raiden will not be playable in the campaign, because Kojima doesn't want to "make the same mistake as MGS2."

-MGPO ties into MGS4, but Kojima won't specify as to how.

-Kojima talks about how there will be instances where making alliances is solely for survival. For example, suppose Snake was to hide behind an Army A tank. In order to improve his chances of survival, Solid Snake would do his best to defend the tank against enemies (Army B). Choosing sides isn't always a matter of preference. It's all about surviving.

+ Hideo said that you will be surprise by how many gun modifications there are.
+The enemies will have an emotional state ,if they are scared they will spend less time looking for you
+The enemies are not always after Snake
+You can swap Alliances
+You can be an enemy or ally to each side
+Granade launches, scopes are confirmed modifications
+There will be prototype weapons for you to use
+There will be imaginary weapons as well
+there can me multiple mods per gun
+ Hideo hinted that silencers. Laser sights and flash lights will be some of the gun modifications"
