Snake: The US has exported too much of its military power. Now she's paying the price.

Campbell: In total, they've got enough manpower to rival the US military. Based on our investigation, the five largest PMCs are run by a dummy corporation, which acts as a single mother company.

Snake: And the mother company?

Campbell: Outer Heaven.

Snake: The one world in which soldiers will always have a place…

Sounds to me as if the US might be invaded in the game, I mean "paying the price", "rival the US military", "run by a dummy corporation", "Outer Heaven"..
I can't wait to get more sneakpeeks at the story man!
Comeon Kojima Productions, give us a trailer SOON after E3!!(I hate camvids..:p)
 
yea heared it today
i wanna see the trailer :(
 
Yeah, but I don't want just the trailer.. The E3 trailers have rarely given one a good idea of the GAMEPLAY imo..
I can't wait to HEAR more about the gameplay etc, such as the "factions" that you can dynamically "ally" yourself with :D
 
I care more about the story to be honest, that's why I love the MGS trailers so damn much. :)
 
The story is very important for me too, but I like everything about the MG seres, art direction etc, I have both of the Art of MGS books.. I LOVE Yoji Shinkawa.
Anyway, off for now, cya tomorrow dudes and dudesess.
 
I thought the Solid series was a trilogy?

Shouldn't it be Metal Gear: {{New name}}?

I've never played one of the games so I can't really comment.

huh? the tank in mgs1? just put claymores around it near its tracks, chuck nades onto the top of it, use chaff to disable its radar etc, thats what i remember from mgs on the ps1 anyway..
 
I'm 100% sure that BOTH Ocelot and Big Boss will be in the game, for those of you that don't remember, Big Boss founded Outer Heaven in MG1 ;)
Ah memories of me playing it on NES at the age of 3 and dying over and over and not understanding one bit.. It was my most hated game alongside Duckhunt ;p
 
Oh man, the MGS fever has got me yet again. Off to play MGS2 and get some dogtags.
 
I think it's a good bet we'll see him if the trailer is 10-15 minutes long.

Do you think David Hayter will still be doing the voice? I mean, since Snake's gotten older, his voice will have to be even more grave and grizzled than before. Hayter's gonna lose his vocal chords after doing the game D:

You should have said that then. :)
And yes, Ocelot will most likely be in the trailer as well. Not sure though.
 
I really want it takes place in a USA city,it will be very interesting

also the fact tht is in the midle of a war(right?) is intriguing too,I know mgs games are about stealth but fighting against the enemies is very cool too
 
I'm interested about the mercenaries that will be in the game, I want to know more about them. As we know now, there will be a few different factions whom you can join, this is truly something new in the MGS series so I'm intrigued to see how it plays out. :)
Still, the story is my main priority. ;)

yeah i cant wait for the new trailer, i hope we see the new gameplay elements in it, the first mgs3 trailer was more about the new setting and stuff, not very story orientated whereas the 2nd e3 trailer mixed up story and gameplay. Cant wait to see how the game looks and when the release date is...oh and the new raiden :p

You don't actually join them, its more like if they see you fighting their enemies, they'll start to think you're on their side. Mindgames with the AI.
 
Imagine if MGS4 would be a launch title, that would mean the end of the world as we know it. :E
Seriously though, there is a little chance that it could be a launch title. Kojima Productions did receive the PS3 devkits very early from Sony so they worked more on it than we know. Not getting my hopes up to much though. :)

Raiden will be kick ass, I'm one of the few that really liked him in MGS2. Yeah sure, he was very clueless and asked a lot of questions but he was a newb. :p In MGS4 he's a lot more experienced. :)
 
I always likened Raiden to the player, a person trying to find himself in the world, just like Raiden. Raiden, I think, was supposed to be a character we could really, really sympathize ourselves with because he's just like us. He isn't a legendary, unstoppable stealth expert soldier, he's a greenhorn, a young one at that, who looks up the legends.

In any case, after playing through MGS2 a few times, I realized Raiden was a good character, just as good as Snake even.
 
There's like only a 0.01% chance that MGS4 will be a launch title for the PS3 imo.. I mean, there were 3 years between all real MGS sequels so far...
MGS1 (1998 NA) -> MGS2 (2001 NA) -> MGS3 (2004 NA)... And I think it'll also be, -> MGS4 (2007 NA).:p
Konami seems to like to have almost precisely 3 years between all of their games..

MGS1 was September 30th 1998 iirc, MGS2 was November 12th 2001(I'm doing the NA release dates, I always import), MGS3 November 17th 2004!
That's very close, especially MGS2 and MGS3, almost the exact same month and day, only 5 day difference... Let's just take a guess, November 22(A Thursday) 2007?:LOL:
I should actually write that down and see if it becomes true, anyone wanna bet?:D
Edit: I just wrote it down actually, both per hand and on the comp.:p
I'm going to assume this post will most likely go missing in this one and a half year period, so I'll save it down to me comp!xD*I'm a sad sad nerd..*
 
yeah i liked raiden too, like koj said it was to give the player another perspective of snake. I thought he wasnt bad. I still think the final battle with Solidus was badass too!
 
wow can't wait till see that trailer . mgs is the best seriess ever

I have to disagree, while it's certainly one of the best console "exclusive" series and one of the best gaming series still alive and well, it's definitely not the best one ever, it's certainly one OF the best though..
But it's too bad soo many ol' good game series had to die due to big corps like EA etc buying'em up and forcing'em to dev other shitty mainstream games :(
Sorry, but I'm in an argument mood lately, I wanna argue against what everyone says.. soz..:p*Runs*
 
Also there will be new game for PSP. With Big Boss as a main hero!

Here (wiki). I can't wait for this, I love Big Boss and FOXHOUND...Maybe it will be set into Vietnam war...:eek: because "When direct American involvement in the Vietnam War started the following year, Big Boss participated in Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) as a mercenary, along with teams of Green Berets and Army Rangers."
 
Too bad I don't have a PSP, I wonder if a working PSP emu will ever come out :( I wanna try that game damnit!
 
hey Polaris you just made my day with this news about Metal Gear for PSP starring Big Boss, a reason to dust off my PSP finally... :D
 
I fail to see what kind of plot they could dig out from his Vietnam days. The only noteworthy thing would be when he's in a coma and the government takes his DNA to create Solid and Liquid. Unless its about him finding money and places to build Outer Heaven.
 
Hopefully it's not a NOTEWORTHY plot/relevant plot because I don't wanna buy a PSP just to understand the MGS story "fully" >_<
 
Kojima's just milking the franchise if he's not going to put a noteworthy plot in. It's supposed to be canon, not...whatever the hell Acid is.
