Metal Gear Solid 4: s of the Patriots, is a next-gen
experience complete with top-of-the-line graphics and surround
sound designed for the Sony PlayStation 3. Featuring the most
revealing display of Kojima Production's premier title, MSG4
details the world where Snake must under go his final mission. In
a world overrun by private companies (PMCs), wars are no
longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, the wars of
the future are micro-managed by overarching PMCs, right down to
the bullet. New gadgets and abilities fuel Snake's journey deep
into the enemy domains of the Middle East, South America, and
beyond. New gear includes "Metal Gear Mk. II," the ultimate
reconnaissance tool, and "Solid Eye," which gives Snake real-time
information on enemies and his surroundings. Joined by a familiar
cast of characters, Snake must once again return to the
battlefield to confront his lifelong rival, Liquid Ocelot, who is
manipulating the world's wars from the one world where soldiers
will always have a place. But Liquid Ocelot is not the only one
who will be able to manipulate the world's wars--Snake can
destabilize sing forces by working behind the scenes,
supporting the local militia as they fight PMCs, creating a
smokescreen that allows Snake to move freely within the war-zone.
MGS4 is a next-generation adventure set in the aftermath of
MGS2: Sons of Liberty. The concept behind the latest Metal Gear
Solid project is "no place to hide," and this edition in the
series will force Snake into unexpected circumstances with an
all-new storyline that breaks away in some ways from the previous
MGS franchise entries. We don't want to spoil it for you, but,
producer Hideo Kojima did reveal some very juicy tidbits about
the game and the storyline when it was first announced at E3 of
2006. "Until now," said Kojima, "we've released two entries of
the MSX2 Metal Gear series, and three entries in the Metal Gear
Solid series. Add to this Portable Ops, and you get a total of
six titles. All mysteries will be cleared up in Metal Gear Solid
4."
Kojima was very clear about the finality of MSG4, leaving gamers
to wonder, "Will Snake die?!" When asked if the story will come
to this sort of an end, Kojima responded without the slightest
bit of vagueness, "It will come to an end." The MGS4 E3 trailer
showed a number of characters from the Metal Gear and Metal Gear
Solid histories. This final installment is sure to deliver loads
of cameos, in fact, it is rumored that nearly all the characters
from the series will make an appearance.
In addition to a return of classic Metal Gear Solid characters,
the gameplay systems from part three are also expected to make a
comeback. The camoue system from part three will make it into
MGS4, with the addition of "OctoCamo," Snake's most advanced
stealth suit to date. The name appears to be formed from the
words "Octopus" and "camoflauge," and players will be awestruck
by the chameleon-like camo that changes with the surroundings.
OctoCamo allows Snake to blend in with his environment as it
digitally manifests nearby textures in real time. Think if it
this way, if Snake is standing next to a wall worn out with
holes, he too will appear to be riddled with holes. It has also
been revealed that MGS4 will have online play, but no specifics
have been released. Although very little information is known
about the game's visuals, rumor has it that MGS4 is expected to
be the finest representation of console graphics on the PS3, and
it is expected that they will just get better and better as the
game nears its release date.
