Wees, could you let me know where you reserved your gunmetal PS3? My wife and I have called everywhere trying to preorder or reserve the bundle to no avail. Thanks

“That would be incredibly stupid. …But I don’t want to play just parts of the game with updated graphics. Plus I already know the story. So either they’re using flashbacks to retcon, or MGS4 sucks. I mean, There’s no excuse for putting in parts of a previous game. …Retconning is not okay. And neither is making me play something i’ve already played before because
a) you were too lazy to think of new content
or
b)you’re recapping story for people who aren’t really fans.

of course, this is all assuming they’re flashbacks.”

You act as if only MGS fans should be allowed to play this game, not anyone new, or perhaps too young that may never have played any of the previous installments until now.

The game has already been announced to use flashbacks to provide backstory, so 99% of your harsh criticisms are already out the window.
By showing that the flashbacks are PLAYABLE, you now interact with the story, not just watch it. And many fans in the past have complained of long cut sequences (myself however, I’m a filmmaker, so I can appreciate the need for longer conversations and scenes) so it’s a great happy medium for all fans– to PLAY the “story scenes”.

They’re not retconning anything– in fact, if they leave the story intact, then awesome–updatated graphics all around. It’ll bring new people up to speed, and perhaps go out to buy the Essential MGS pack.

If though Kojima-san uses these flashbacks as a way to tell alternative stories (this IS a dream after all), the possibilities are endless– including the already-seen Rex Vs. Ray fight in one of the previous trailers. Is that fight real? Or merely a dream?

I guess you’ll just have to wait until June 12 to find out.

What a lame metal gear monday. How about some info on the LE PS3??

MGO was just dumb. It has potential, but all of playstation needs to get outta the “1997 mindframe”.

In other news, GTA IV is the “game of the year”, nuff said….too bad, so sad. And to think, I thought MGS4 was the top runner…how WRONG I was!

Imagine MGS1 as bonus material like metal gear 1 n 2 on the subsistence disk.
that would be awesome!
