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... Someone on the Internet discovered a song by Classical Russian composer Georgy Vasilevich Sviridov, named . Eventually, a video emerged of a group of people showing the song to Hideo, with Hideo giving a very surprised reaction See Here. The motif was removed from the Snake Eater Version of the theme on the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Music Collection (it was replaced with "The World Needs Only One Big Boss!" from Metal Gear Solid 2). The First Motif was removed from the Portable Ops Main theme. The original, with the Motif, appeared in an E3 Trailer, and the version with no Motif played after Calling To The Night during the games ending credits, and appears on the Portable Ops OST as the track "Show Time". Code extracted from Super Smash Bros. Brawl showed that this theme was originally supposed to be among the My Music tracks, but was later removed, possibly as a result of the aforementioned controversy. After the controversy involving Sviridov's piece, the First Motif was retired. The Second Theme was later adopted in it's place and appeared in Guns Of The Patriots entitled Metal Gear Saga.
canand Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 On 29th May I finished Metal Gear Solid 3 Subistance know I am redey for Metal Gear Solid 4.
Calza Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 EDGE gave this an 8/10 too. MGS4 is not the game it could have been; nor is it the game it would have been had the series grown with the benefit of hindsight; not is it the game it should have been if you believed that early trailer.
flameboy Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Whats the disk that comes free when you preorder from game? I did and remember reading something came with it exclusive.
Daft Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 EDGE gave this an 8/10 too. MGS4 is not the game it could have been; nor is it the game it would have been had the series grown with the benefit of hindsight; not is it the game it should have been if you believed that early trailer. We kind of knew all these, especially the last one since they downgraded the textures. Whats the disk that comes free when you preorder from game? I did and remember reading something came with it exclusive. Making of Blu-Ray and the soundtrack I think.
McMad Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Every Metal Gear Solid since MGS2 has got an 8 in Edge so I wouldn't get too worried by their score.
Heaven Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Im buying a ps3 next month with MGS4, heavenly sword, uncharted and ratchet MGS4 better gotta be amazing...it will be the very first MGS and stealth game I will have ever played
Solo Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 MGS4 better gotta be amazing...it will be the very first MGS and stealth game I will have ever played I would advise you play the others quickly. With this whole plagiarism thing, does it involve the MGS2 theme or the Snake Eater theme, and didn't that Harry Gregson-Williams fella write them?
Heaven Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I would advise you play the others quickly. With this whole plagiarism thing, does it involve the MGS2 theme or the Snake Eater theme, and didn't that Harry Gregson-Williams fella write them? I wish I could but dude... I CANT PLAY OLD GENERATION GAMES (wikipedia is tha man :p)
Solo Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Hehe reading about the stories on a webpage just isn't quite the same as being in them. Why can't you play old games, buy yourself a cheap PS2 and get cracking!
Daft Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah, I did it. I played the first two about a month ago and I'm starting the third maybe today. You really have to play them.
Heaven Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 lol u guys really want to make my wallet empty XD I will think about it :$
Daft Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 lol u guys really want to make my wallet empty XDI will think about it :$ I bought the first 3 off eBay for a total of £20. (MGS2 was about £2.50 :p ) If you can borrow someone's PS2 it shouldn't cost too much and it is definitely worth it.
Caris Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah, i started playing Twin Snakes last night in preparation for MGS4.
Solo Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah if you can get hold of a Gamecube too Heaven make sure you get Twin Snakes!
Tellyn Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Edge's score surprised me when they rated GTA IV so highly. MGS4 looks like a much better game than GTA... I plan on getting the other MGS games after my exams and playing through them, then I'll have a crack at Jimjebus' copy of MGS4.
Helmsly Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 After nearly two months the Kojima productions report podcast is back, I can't post a link since I'm posting on the Wii browser, but google it or maybe someone else can post the link
Tellyn Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 http://www.kjp.konami.jp/gs/hideoblog_e/ I think that's it.
flameboy Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah if you can get hold of a Gamecube too Heaven make sure you get Twin Snakes! I plan to pick it up to play through at some point...did have it but never started it so traded it in...
Domo Kun Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Edge are normally a bit wobbly right? I read parts of the review and it seemed pretty shit. I can quote something along the lines of, 'if you've never gotten bored through a codec conversation then this game will be perfect for you'. I've never gotten bored in a codec conversation. I'm still optimistic. Chalk and cheese, I pray.
Dante Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Edge: 8 - Opening act is the best part - Not a game for MGS outsiders - two cut-scenes near the 90 minute mark - The Beauty and the Beast Unit are in the shadow of the MGS3 Cobra Unit. - Camera flow effortless between 1st and 3rd person view - Control system has "at last" the ideal balance of intuitvness and range. - Game can be played for months rather than days. - MGS4 is not the game it could of been, nor the game it should have been if you believed the early trailers. - But is very faithful to its fans and delivers without equal in so many ways. - great AI - multiple ways to approach the missions - great controls - great shooting - too complicated story for newcomers - lengthy cut scenes - simplicity of some objectives - the game isn't what it could have been or should have been, but no reason is stated - game doesn't appeal to reviewers who didn't enjoy MGS2's ending (refers to himself) - score is apparently better than in new hollywood movies, fitting in perfectly with action - Liquid Ocelot is a superb villain - maps are a trifle small - game encourages explorative play by hiding items in every hidden corner - the arsenal is humongous, you can build different Snake over and over again - again, there are tons of different ways to play - Drebin points are a proper way of incorporating weapon collecting - Otacon is being described as a gaming (non interactive) revolution, due to the way he looks and acts, he's called a star of MGS4 - iPod is a great addition, especially for fans - this game is made for fans "...If you sat in lockers while footsteps came and went, or basked in codec conversations without once checking your watch, MGS4 is your just reward" - using mkII is essential for stealth gameplay - amazing visuals, only flaw is that textures look significantly worse up close "With enough exposition for a dozen games, the epic mission briefings at least keep your senses busy, wit advanced camera control and, through the MkII droid, the chance to hunt for Easter egg and equipment".
Caris Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Well they praised the hell out of it for only giving it an 8.
Tellyn Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Indeed, based on the highlights it seems like it should have gotten a 9. 8 seems extremely low considering the amount of time and effort has gone into the game. I've watched all the trailers and it's as cinematic as Lord of the Rings!
Heaven Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 judging from edge's review it seems I wont enjoy MGS4 unless if I have played the rest... shame
