MGS 4 is looking absolutely stunning, fine details everywhere

[Zeus]

IGN has had a recently play with MGS 4 on the PS3 and report back that it is looking absolutely stunning. They note that there is fine detail everywhere and you can even see the individual hairs on Snake's 'stache. Elsewhere, rumble support was working but Konami couldn't promise the game would run at 60fps at 1080p.



One of the features found in Metal Gear Solid 4 is that the game is fully compliant with the new Dual Shock 3 controller, so we were able to feel every shot that we fired and every bullet that hit us in the game, and this could be a solid indication that Sony is back on track with the force feedback functionality that it's current home console is missing.

Another thing that we noticed is that the game looks absolutely stunning. Everything is rendered in fine detail from the war-torn middle-eastern city that the level took place in, right down to the individual hairs on Snake's 'stache. When we asked whether or not the game will be able to run at 60 fps at 1080p, Konami said that things were still being optimized and they can't promise anything, things were on the right track.

I aint too bothered about Frame Rate, if its playable then its fine with me!

I would like 1080p though......and a PSN DEMO!!!:p

I made my mind up when i saw the game play demo last year... do you really need anymore proof then that the game is going to be AAA.

there is no doubt the game looks pretty, i am concerned about the AI after watching demo video's though.

[XxBigP123xX]

can't wait!!:)

[Desolationstorm]

Did anyone not think this game would be graphicly stunning? I dont think anyone will be shocked when this game is put on a pedestal and talked about being the reason to own a ps3? Will it be played by me? No, maybe down the road I might borrow it from a friend but in no way will I buy it. I dont need a crystal ball to know I wont really like it.

[TnTBadboy]

It does look very nice. I'm kinda sorry I sold off my old copies of Metal Gear with my old systems. Hope Sony puts some of those old ones up on PSN before the launch of MGS4. A little replay of the past couldnt hurt.

no wonder, you are concerned about everything

[SpoonerPSP]

If they can do 60fps on that game, fine, but's not really needed. It's not a fast game. I would like it to be 1080p...I hope to upgrade from 720p in a month or 2:D

[kneehighspy]

the game does look pretty good, but it's not a purchase for me. i've never cared about the mgs franchise. when i saw snake slithering around on the ground in the earlier videos, kinda really made me lose interest in the title.

i think the game will run at 60fps @ 720p, but this will not be a 1080p / 60fps title. sony is not gonna put a foul taste in consumers mouths to make the game run poorly just to have it in 1080p.

i'm gonna pass on this one and wait and see what else releases this year, so far ut3 is the only ps3 purchase i've made this year and for the foreseeable future, it's the only thing not on 360 to purchase for my ps3.

well the A.I. only slightly changed since the ps1 metal gear solid so I don't expect it will be dramatically different from its predecessors.

[daps83777]

not sure what your post is supposed to mean, but if you watch the gameplay videos from mgs4 when you go into camo do avoid detection for instance, the enemies just become dumb, kind of like in assasins creed. its like you hide and even if you are obvious you are invisible and go undetected. in a game like mgs that is about stealth, the stealth part should be amazing.

[siyrobbo]

im sure 1080p isnt that big a deal really, i didnt see anyone complaining about the graphics in call of duty 4, and that wasnt 1080p (well, the console versions anyway)

Don't worry to much, MGS always has great AI

[daps83777]

Don't worry to much, MGS always has great AI

i've played all the mgs games, they have good AI at times, i would not say they set the standard or anything. what worries me the most is most games this gen so far have focused so much on graphics and being pretty that they have overlooked things like good gameplay and AI or even gameplay length.

[Jinx13378]

Since when?

MGS has always had scripted, patternal, old-school arcade-like AI (which was made like that on purpose).

Check roots of the franchise (MSX).

The AI is going to be like it is meant to be, don't sweat it.

[mystic54]

So how long before that pixel finder site finds out that just like all the other 1080p games out there, that it only runs at "gasp" 720p or slightly less!

Seriously though, full 1080p will come, I just don't think this generation (and 60fps alongside it).

[felixm477]

looks good but is the ign demo 1080p? if its 720p with that much detail then i say dont try so hard to get 1080p ay 60fps and just work with it how it is. also if it frames are variable i would be ok if they locked it at 30 to make it easier on resources.

[Salmon-Face]

Previous MGS players would see that the demo was clearly played in "Very Easy". Why else did it take one shot of the M9 (or whatever the new tranquilzer gun's name is) to take out a PMC soldier instantly? Or why else can the PMC soldier not see Snake hiding in the bin from 5 meters away?

The developers have always done the AI on the MGS series well. It just takes a hardcore player to select a difficulty above and including "Normal."

And if you haven't played "European Extreme" in MGS2 you have no idea how far away the guards can spot you from nor how alert they are to small movement.

[XxBigP123xX]

seriously, if gear of war, resistance FOM, and UT3 are 30 fps and COD4 is 60 fps im fine with 30fps;)

plus i dont have a 1080p tv and i dont care about 1080p:p

but 1080p is the only real high definition resolution. just ask sony. :p

bleh, no:p

[daps83777]

bleh, no:p

thats what sony said prior to the 360 doing 1080p. it was one of there reasons to buy a PS3, because the PS3 was true high def because it supported 1080p, while the 360 was not.

And they still manage to have better AI in MGS then the average game today.

I don't think the main selling point was that, a huge majority don't have the TV for 1080p and use the 720p setup.

[chkdg8]

and a PSN DEMO!!!:p
Please let that be so!

[Kamalot]

I thought the PS3 was powerful enough to play every game in 1080p as long as the developers aren't lazy.

1080p is true high definition. That's the biggest difference in the PS3.

[ShinoBboy]

oh it will run at 1080p...need i say more:p

[MadonnaProject]

i will definately get this game. but i would preffer to get it when there is an action replay or some other cheat system out for the ps3.

from playing the first 3 games, i ABSOLUTELY am in awe of people who bust their ass to beat these RIDICULOUS games.

looks good but wheres colors?

[Trashcat]

Just like Killzone2 video the whole 1080p thing was just sony's deception, after 360 launch sony couldn't do much but **** all over it in press so they started this whole "1080p is the true HD" even though they knew damn well that most games will be 720p on both platforms, it didn't matter back then that people will find out the truth later, Killzone2 video made some people believe that thats what ps3 games will actually look like, the seed of doubt was sown with the whole xbox1.5 thing, mission accomplished. Good thing for sony: sheeple seem to forget their lies pretty fast, toy story graphics my ass.
As for MGS4 I think Konami did promise 1080p but there was nothing about 60fps but I might be wrong.

[Raist3d]

I am not. From demo video to final game there's a lot of time and work they are putting in. This is Kojima after all.

you cant beat MGS2 and 3 without cheating:confused:

i only had to use cheat device in the first one on my psp.

he is a good developer, but not a god. i thought mgs2 sucked. mgs3 was good, but mgs1 on psone still is the best in my mind easily. so as far as i can tell mgs as a series has been going down though it went up a little for mgs3 over mgs2.

[Norlo]

oh it will run at 1080p...need i say more:p

Making a statement like that makes you look like a clown.:confused:

Even the devs are not promising 1080p at this that stage, so why can you, some meaningless fanboy who posts on a gaming forum, state 'it will run at 1080p' like it is a fact. You don't work for Sony or Konami, so please, keep your fanboy 'hopes' to yourself. :rolleyes:

I hope MGS4 does support 1080p, of course i do, but lets just wait and see.

[Skyline34]

Even if i does run @ 1080p you'll get some retarded people who have nothing to do all day except counting the exact amount of pixels then come out blasting "ZOMG itz not proper 1080p, there'z 5 pixzels short!!"
