Hands-On: New hands-on with Metal Gear Solid 4

GamePro writes:

"Nestled in the snowy heart of Naru, Japan, Konami and Kojima Productions recently held a secret "boot camp" where the companies showed off a nearly complete version of the anticipated PlayStation 3 action-epic Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Only a handful of gaming insiders were invited, but GamePro was there to get exclusive access to an enormous portion of the game. This is our report, complete with extensive hands-on impressions.

You thought Gears of War looked amazing? Think again. Metal Gear Solid 4 will blow you away with its ultra-detailed characters and intricate environments, painting some of the most gorgeous graphics seen this side of Crysis. In motion, the graphics look so realistic that your eyes begin to register the visuals as a movie rather than a game. From what we saw, MGS4 puts its 50GB Blu-ray disc to outstanding use."

Ahh..Sounds great. I love the smoke effect in the videos.

sonarus6631d ago (Edited 6631d ago )

GamePro.com for late-breaking updates on MGS4, and check back next month for more detailed hands-on details of what is quickly shaping up to be the top game for 2008.

The graphics: You thought Gears of War looked amazing? Think again. Metal Gear Solid 4 will blow you away with its ultra-detailed characters and intricate environments, painting some of the most gorgeous graphics seen this side of Crysis.

So there you have it MGS4 looks better than gears of war. (At least in game pro's opinion)
Like i said gears graphics can't hold forever. The unreal engine isn't the most advanced engine on the market anymore

Truckasaurus6631d ago

"You thought Gears of War looked amazing"

Was this supposed to be a joke Gamepro?

Who the hell would use an old Unreal Engine 3 game as some sort of 'graphical benchmark'?

Fishy Fingers6631d ago

In future perhaps we could use the headline from the actual article? Admittedly you might not get the same "heat", but rules are meant to be rules.

fenderputty6631d ago (Edited 6631d ago )

because there's a good portion of the internet population that are 360 supporters who feel Gears still hasn't been matched. I tend to disagree but, saying this puts the quality of the graphics into scope for large amounts of people. Even the ones with blinders on.

wageslave6631d ago

Nice flame-bait title you created there;

The article's proper title is:

"Hands-On: New hands-on with Metal Gear Solid 4"

How did this one get approved:
"Metal Gear Solid 4 Hands-On: 'You thought Gears of War Looked Amazing? Think Again'- GamePro"

sonarus6631d ago

Screw everyone that complains about the title. Is this the first time important info from the article is included into the title?? No and no one usually complains but now all of a sudden it is flame bait. No need to cause any flame bait anyone who thought gears would remain the best looking game forever is a little "slow". The game is almost 2 yrs old so there is nothing wrong with it.

Spinner6631d ago

Oh come on wageslave, there are other things to take your jealously and rage out on.

Maybe you can keep hoping for "MGS4 for 360 CONFIRMED!!11"

GiantEnemyCrab6631d ago

he does it all the time. Someone needs to have their posting priveledges removed because he obviously cannot follow the posting guidelines and when he is called out on it he hides.

I would suggest sending a user feedback report to the admins about him. I will send one as well.

Amanosenpai6631d ago (Edited 6631d ago )

1) Its a quote... so... what's the problem?

2) MGS4 = 2008 best game

rexor07176630d ago

But then came Uncharted, the best looking console game which dethroned Gears. But MGS4 looks so good. It looks like im watching a movie, kinda like...UNCHARTED! But really, wow, that is some fine game.

barnes3and16630d ago

I've never been a MGS fan. However, the buildup to this game makes it a must purchase just to see what the fuss is about. I still have to say uncharted set my graphics standard followed closely by COD (either system)

When I seen this game I had to buy a ps3. Lol disagrees are funny because its my opinion.

jwatt6631d ago

I know some people don't like games to get hyped but based on the april fools video and the hands on articals this is going to be another great mgs game. I just have that feeling that I'm going to enjoy mgs4 as much as I did mgs3.

TriggerHappy6631d ago

Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ake....lol...Epic. WANT.

scrillakiller6631d ago (Edited 6631d ago )

well it should seeing thatuncharted took a dump on gears of war a couple months back

Unreal engine was only most adavnced engine on 360.ps3 doesnt need ue3 lokk at ratchet uncharted now this.ue3 is bottom of list on ps3

GiantEnemyCrab6631d ago

Please don't insult Gears by mentioning DudeRaider and that jaggie mess that is R&C to Gears.

TriggerHappy6631d ago

Jaggies in Uncharted ? GiantEnemyCrab you FAIL so horribly. He isn't insulting Gears, he just saying UE3 is better suited for 360 whiles in-home engine works best for PS3.

Amanosenpai6630d ago

He didnt insult GeOW, he just said that UE3 was designed for 360, and not for PS3.

DUDE RAIDER? go to the open zone... DUDE

niall776631d ago

... thats not why Im playing MGS4.

gambare6631d ago

It made me thought about Socom 4, it doesn't looks like a graphic benchmark but it's Socom, it will be a blast in online playing.

spandexxking6631d ago

i wanna find what/who the patriots are

sonarus6631d ago

Socom confrontation is NOT socom 4. As far as i know socom 4 hasn't been announced yet, but i am sure zipper is working on it.

Amanosenpai6630d ago

Psyche gauge and his Stress Gauge... new features will be AMAZING

Kain816630d ago

last year it will be out in 2009

2 cents6631d ago

I don`t even need to read the articles about this game cos i know it`ll be huge and is a day 1 for me no matter what reviewers say. Have played all previous and i`m a huge fan. Same goes for GTA and GT.

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

cloganart99d ago

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Commentby99d ago

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

jjb198199d ago

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

gigoran898d ago

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

computeSci98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro812d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72812d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_812d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga812d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos811d ago (Edited 811d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23811d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000812d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin812d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole812d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix812d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989812d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor812d ago (Edited 812d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989812d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
