I'm sorry, but this is the best game trailer ever! (MGS4)

[PDorr3]

I just watched the MGS4 trailer, and not even being a huge fan of the series (I own only MGS2) I found this trailer hilarious and downright awsome! I love the viewr reactions as well. Even if you are not into MGS, this is truly a trailer like no other, and as long as you know a little about whats going on in the MGS world, you will aprreciate it.
This trailer definitley deserves it own topic, watch and enjoy :D

I didn't click on the link that you provided but if that is the funny one where Snake makes fun of Sam Fisher then I have to say that video was awesome LOL I was laughing the whole time while watching it. Its always nice to see something that isn't completely serious and that video was just that. And the fact that they made fun of Sam Fisher and Splinter Cell was awesome :D

I hate Raiden sooo much. Ugh.

[Policenaut]

God loves us! Another MGS is always welcome, I love the serie and the history plots. \^_^/

[unbroken]

i hate raiden too, hes a fruit. another thing, i dont really get the point of this video, i didnt laugh at all either, am i missing something? it seemed like they were trying to make a joke out of snake.

[PS2Hawk]

yea the series OWNZ.

I think MGS3 is the best game in the series!!!!!!!!!!

[Nesmaster]

that was pretty funny LOL

though i think it ended kinda... fast?

[Graham Mitchell]

Dammit. I was waiting for a Nintendo Revolution, but now this is coming on PS3! What to do what to do....

That trailer is hilarious, though. It's totally Hideo.

[WanganRunner]

Awesome trailer, 100% Kojima.

He's saying that the game will take place AFTER MGS2, which, hopefully, means that it will continue the Patriots storyline and finally settle things between Snake and Ocelot.

I'm a bit of a MGS Fanboy, can ya tell?

Okay, now I want to touch on some points that no one at DP has seemed to talk about yet, mainly things that could have been hinted at in the trailer - and some distrubing stuff that you have to look a little closer to see.

First, notice the nowhere to hide thing. Does this mean that the guards won't have set loop paths? Maybe you won't be able to run out of range and hide during alert phase? Guards with radar systems the same as Snake?

Second - and this is a big one - the part with all the chairs. The guards run up, each sitting at a director's chair with the name of someone on the staff on the back of each. Each time a guard sits down you hear a "ding." That "ding" sound comes into play later.

Now Snake / Hideo ends up without a seat, "no place for Hideo?" Then he pulls out a gun and wastes everyone, picks up a chair, sits, and it says "game designed, produced and directed by Hideo Kojima" but there is NO DING SOUND. Then three shells roll on the floor to make "IV" - Snake / Hideo pulls off his mask to reveal... Raiden.

Next scene - Raiden and Snake (in Spinter Cell costume - GREAT, especially how he makes a bunch of noise in all the gear) square off with a directors chair between them with "MAIN CHARACTER" written on the back. Eventually Snake tosses Raiden over the edge of the "stage" and sits in the chair. It now says "Solid Snake in" and the MGS4 comes up. However notice that again, THERE IS NO DING SOUND.

Snake then gets up, walks away and shuts the lights off. Then we see Raiden climbing back up from the back of the "stage" and the screen goes back. Then you hear footsteps, the rustling of someone sitting in a chair, AND THE DING SOUND. However the trailer never shows just who sat down.

Now it could be just Kojima messing with us, or changing some things around, or having the next trailer build off of this one. He expressed many times that he realized how much people love Snake after the reaction over MGS2. If you understood the whole thing about how he was proving the point of the game's story of percieved reality and using an environment and series of trials to shape someone into something then you'd understand why you played as Raiden through essentially the same game outline as MGS1. - that's why YOUR name is on the dog tags at the end, Kojima proves his point by showing how he got you to follow along with a simulation of precieved reality - the game. Just the same I don't think I'll use Raiden as a main character.

The press kit for Kojima Productions states that in MGS4 Solid Snake IS the star of the game. It also states that MGS4 takes place after MGS2. Well at the end of MGS2 Raiden had other things to take care of, mainly creating an idenity and family with Rose. Snake told Raiden himself that he has other things to do. Kojima probably just put him in the trailer to screw with people - but that ding in the darkness at the end worries me. It would rock if Campbell was in MGS4, my favorte part of MGS3 was the diologue between him and Snake in the Snake vs Monkey mini game. "I'm not destroying any more Metal Gears!" Also Otakon will probably be in the game as well as he was there (at least in VO form) at the very end of MGS2.

Also in the trailer the "no place for Hideo?" is followed by "no replacement for Hideo!" - but "no place for Snake?" comes up later and isn't ever followed by anything else. Quite possibly that's Snake at the end (IN DISGUISE) and this is supposed to parallel the thing with Hideo, and we all know there's no replacement for Snake!

I love the trailer but once I realized Hideo / Snake and Snake's chairs didn't have a ding sound when they sat in them - and the one you can't see at the end - it worries me more than entertains me. :/ Still the best trailer since the MGS3 one set up like a Bond intro.

Also notice the "3 4 5 6" thing with the MGS4 logo near the end? I just thought that was cool.

Interesting. I doubt Hideo will do something along the lines of MGS2, and dissappoint a whole lot of people. He does have a great sense of humor though, so I don't doubt he will include raiden just to mess around with everyone. Maybe he will possibly do the opposite of MGS2, with raiden for the first tenth of the game and snake for the rest.

It also should be named MGS2^2, since it's both a continuation after 2, and the fourth solid game.
