OMG, more mass produced sequel BS with no story or character development and hours of cutscenes and mainstream emo stuff and... sorry I have to stop there because I sound ridiculous.

Since when is MGS emo? Btw, this is a prequel, not sequel. Probably focuses on the les enfants terribles project (aka, birth of snake and liquid). The prequels have been good (judging from MGS3 and cutscenes from the PSP games). This one should be good as well :)

WTF the last Metal Gear isn't even two weeks old.

Revengeance doesn't count! This is the one fans have been waiting for!

Nope. Do it now, then sell it again in an HD version on next gen. Haven't you learned anything from Lucas and Activision?

They've probably been working on the engine for this for years. Think of how damned impressive this looks for running on hardware that's 6+ years old. Also, releasing something that probably had a lot of money spent on it on new consoles with a small install base isn't a good business decision, when you can sell millions of additional copies to a larger install base.

I can't watch this at work, but I am disappointed the Metal Gear franchise has gone more to action than stealth. Hideo Kojima invented the stealth genre with the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid did a great job bringing it up to date. Each game after that seems to be more and more action oriented and less and less stealthy. I beat MGS4 by just running around with an assault rifle killing everything. No stealth needed at all.

i personally think that splinter cell did the stealth genre better than mgs ever did.

I thought MGS3 had more stealth to it?

that was actually the only one i did not play (other than the new one that is supposedly like ninja gaiden). after how bad 2 was i didn't play 3. heard it was awesome though so gave 4 a try and wish i never did.

Yes it did but story and voice acting have always been the main draw of the Metal Gear Solid series.

Agree with this. I got drawn into all the games, like a movie. I felt a connection with some of the characters and it was almost emotional. Even if the "sneaking" aspect is going to the wayside, the games are still good.

Metal Gear Solid was good. It had great setting, characters that were engaging, and a story that was well thought out and a great continuation from the Metal Gear series. MGS2 was terrible. The story was awful, the characters were all not worth knowing about and the "twist" and ending made me vomit in my mouth some. It is like they said "Hey, let's just remake MGS and then have the boss at the end be all like 'Surprise! Anyone can be Solid Snake.'" MGS3 was very well done, but wasn't as stealth based. The story and characters were fantastic and really built well into the overall lore. MGS4 had a decent story and dealt with a great theme, but the gameplay was so piss poor who cares.

1. There is not enough information out yet to determine how much of an action vs. stealth game this is.

2. You know you can play MGS4 stealthily, right? All of the MGS games allow you to play either way, though each has its moments where you have to do one or the other.

This game looks so dumb. A freaking flaming unicorn. I mean, they really put a flaming freaking unicorn in the game?

My god. MGS is not a stealth game. It was NEVER a stealth game. It is tactical espionage game. There is a reason you get tons of tools to do the dirty deeds if you choose to. There is a reason you don't stay crouched 100% of the time in MG. You are pretty much upright and running around.

You could beat every single MGS by running around and shooting at things. MGS4 is no exception.
