This is the main theme for MGS4.

 

Dont remember russians stopping the main theme for bieng plagiarism after MGS2 being done?

 

I think this is supposed to be a new version of the main theme. It's a remix of the MGS3 Theme. The "plagiarized" part has been removed from this one.

Also, i don't get how 6 notes is plagiarism...

 

MGS2 and 3 had such awesome main scores... how is a remix or the love theme supposed to replace a totally new one? Epic bs...

Its a chalk and cheese thing.

 

Metal gear has always been a conveluted mess... Still, seperate installs per chapter? Snake's leaving sucks? Hm. We shall see.

 

Tbh, i don't trust any site but Gametrailers these days. They usually seem pretty on the ball with review scores.

I wait to see what Gamespot say.

 

I don't think the Eurogamer review is bad, in fact its pretty much reads how I expected it to read, but like I said its a weird (actually I think its a pretty poor) review. It seems really general and again, no mention at all of MGO.

You're sorry to see Snake go. But should you be? Guns of the Patriots is a frustrating, fractured game that turns Metal Gear Solid's world upside down several times over, but never changes it. It just burrows deeper into what fans love and detractors hate than ever before, and it will make few converts. It's a crying shame, given how many genuinely classic gaming moments there are here, given the countless exquisite creative touches, but Metal Gear Solid 4 is its own worst enemy. You could not ask for a funnier, cleverer, more ambitious or inspired or over-the-top conclusion to the Metal Gear Solid series, but it's definitely time to move on.

 

Yeah I agree Jordan, it probably is a chalk and cheese thing. Metal Gear is a bit like marmite. The game will very most likely be marked down for its long cutscenes and complex plot, but these are two things i'd be dissapointed if it didn't have. MGS2 was marked down for introducing Raiden and being the first post-modern game, this was what made it the best game of all time for me.

 

IGN gave Subsistence 9.8, and I think that was the only worthy review score for that game. I reckon IGN will most likely have hit the nail on the head, but we'll see.

Wow, 8/10?

 

The rest of the reviews have praised the game so much, saying it's the best game this gen and some saying in the past 10 year...

While reporting MTV Multiplayer’s week-long series about game reviews I’ve heard from members of the gaming press about restrictions publishers place on game reviews. I’m familiar with some of these. It’s common for a publisher to specify plot details that they don’t want revealed in reviews.

 

What I heard about print reviews for “Metal Gear Solid 4” was different.

 

I’ve been told by two gaming media sources who asked to remain anonymous that Konami representatives had been asking print reviewers to keep some technical details out of their reviews, namely the length of the game’s cut-scenes and the size of the game’s installation on the PlayStation 3.

 

Such details wouldn’t have been plot spoilers, but perhaps the publisher was concerned that they would be viewed as negatives?

 

Konami representatives declined to comment to me about any of this, as did editors of a few major video game magazines.

 

A couple of weeks ago, gaming blog Kotaku posted back-to-back links about the two supposedly off-limits topics. The size of the game’s installation was spotted on the “MGS4″ box. The other was a disputed report about the length of the cut-scenes.

 

So that technical information — accurate or not, I don’t know — is getting out there. And that information about the game has been acknowledged by Eurogamer, which ran an “MGS4″ review that mentions both things.

 

Whether Konami really has put these limits on reviewers and if such limits are tolerable to game reviewers is something I can’t answer. It’s something worth keeping an eye on as print reviews of “MGS4″ start trickling out.
