Picture #2 shows the controller being used to check your blood pressure an analog stick with two more trigger buttons that you can plug into the main controller. It's assumed that there will be a lot of other things you'll be able to plug in there, too... like, I don't know, bongo drums or something.

Fireball cracks me up.

Man, I sure hope that Snake isnt going to be an old coot.

Holy shit those are good graphics.

Yeah, I haven't really played on a game system newer than N64. I'm lame. Goldeneye's such a great party game though.

Well, it makes sense given the chronology of the series.

In any case I doubt it will matter. Grey hair or not, he's going to kick some serious ass. $\m/$

Indeed. I wish we knew with this game is going to take place.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 9/17/2005, 3:51 pm

huh?

If you meant "when", we do. It takes place after MGS2. It's the latest game chronologically (that is, it takes place after all of the games, which go in the following order: MGS3, MGS, MGS2, MGS4).

no no. What I mean is how many years after MGS2. I figure it has to be quite a few years since snake is an old geezer.

hahaha, okay.

I'm sure we'll find out. 8-)

In addition to Codec and Soliton Radar, Snake will now carry with him a state-of-the-art military grade Defibrillator.

Just to compare old to new (or young to old, as it were)...

And another...

that's awesome...

I notice that they've moved away from the soft glowy texture used in MGS3. I think the main reason for using it in the first place was that it created smooth lines for a sleeker looking graphic (compare MGS3 graphics to MGS2).

However, now that the hardware is leaps and bounds ahead, they're able to get strikingly realistic graphics without losing the nice crisp texture. :nod:

I can't help but wonder if those are actual in game shots or artist renditions. :think:

According to all of the trailer reviews, those are actual real-time PS3 renderings.

I would be very surprised if Kojima tried to pull the wool over our eyes with a pre-rendered trailer. He's never done that before. The MGS2 trailer, amazing as it looked, was exactly like the in-game experience. The teaser trailer for MGS4, since they didn't have time to work with the PS3 hardware, was simply rendered on the PS2. I think this is the real deal.

omg omg omg, the trailer's up on the Kojima site!
