WARNING: These pics may contain spoilers, I have look through them, and there isn't anything particularly earth-shattering in my opinion, but still, be cautious.

All of the pics are great, but the last one is particularly striking...

Hmm kool thanks for the pictures man love them, cant wait for them NOW!!

I think the first pic (or second) maybe a spoiler, but I can't make out who that is.

I can't quite make out why the last pic is spoiler-ish..?

This one is rather interesting.

if you look at the first screen to the right, all teh way at the end. There is 3 health bars? Another damned escort mission? Your opinions?

Yeah looks like your carrying someone on your back too.

God dammit, I always hated the escort missions. I'm the all for myself type of guy, not watch my own health and everyone elses at the same time type.

Liquid's Life?

Ocelot's Life?

Duel Boss fight?


I dunno. I just think that it would be pretty cool that you could kill someone with smoking in-game. Like the back of the CD case to the main menu.

In the second pic, are they on the PS3?

Yeah that's the Ps3's main menu screen.

Escort missions, oh joy.

It wouldn't be that bad if we were able to fire a weapon whilst moving with the escort. I can see the escort being Naomi, seeing as how we have to rescue her from Liquid. Sunny too at some point probably.

Actually, I think thats spot on Heli.

That screen looks exactly like where Naomi is being held captive, also the person Snake is carrying has a big black coat on..much like Naomi's as demonstrated in your sig.

The person on that monitor looks like Snake with his hand in the forefront holding a cigarette or cigar of sorts.

It might not be an escort quest at all. There is no text on those bars to denote they belong to anyone. And if you notice, he has the stun knife equipped. Could just be moving a body.

I know it might not be captain double post..

I'm just stating considering from what I can gather most evidence does point towards it being one.

Hey now! I wasn't trying to shoot down your opinion. Just stating an alternative option. It could very well be an escort as well. Sorry about the double post.

Yeah, sorry if it seemed like I was snapping..I wasen't.

No problem at all, just wanted to make note that I wasn't trying to be an ass or start anything - that's not how I am.

Regardless of what the picture is, one thing is for certain:

37 days from now can not come quickly enough.

One thing I'm perplexed about in this picture:

http://www.gram.pl/upl/artykul/20080504161516.jpg

Look at the two computers in the background on the right side of the room. Look at all of the stuff on the HUD. That doesn't look like MGO, it looks crazy though. I can't figure out for the life of me what all of those bars on the left and bottom are for. Pause screen? Inventory screen?

They look like menus

In the third pic theres a screen with a realtime cutscene flashback going on, check it out. Its duelscreen.

If its a cigar its a biiiig difference...because we all know who smokes cigars..

Are you freaking kidding me.

X BUTTON

X is no longer the back button like on every other game. Do you have any idea how long it took me to get used to pushing O to go forward and X for back, and now they change it. What the hell is wrong with these people.

lol This is just now news to you? Haven't you been playing the beta?

=/ from my knowledge skywalker its been like that for a while.

No, there are people on this website that do not play beta. Every metal gear solid game I have played has had O be the advance button and X was back.

MGS has always held an Eastern control scheme. This change was made to appeal to mainstream American gamers. Personally Ive always been fond of MGS controls, and think its a bit silly to change everything up for the final game, but it wont have any impact on how much I enjoy the title. Ill get use to it in 10 or 15 minutes. Only problem is, Ill play the fuck out of MGS4, then when I go back and play a previous title, Im going to be hitting the wrong button.

Nice pics! I'm getting so pumped for this game

stop whining. Yeah it took me a while to get used that 2, but everytime id play games inbetween then go back to mgs, i have to get used to the x and 0 again. Right now im playing gta4, and im used to the x being ok, and 0 back.

I've just noticed it too. I thought no one of you guys have seen it...
From the way it looks Kojima really 'Westernized' the controls in every aspect and because he didn't want the gamers to get confused he added this 'hint' on top of the screen in order for us to know which button we are going to press. I believe this will disappoint many gamers of the series.

I knew there'd be more, just the one spoiler photo then, the guy taking the photo obviously didn't realise who it was on the screen!

It wasnt kojima who "westernized" the controls, he left it up to that fag ryan payton...

Um no, for one Ryan Payton is God for finally getting rid of some of the complicated controls that weren't needed, and for two...Kojima TOLD Payton to westernize the controls to a more RE4 or Gears of War style while staying true to Metal Gear, which is what he did

YAY :lol:

mission briefing is back

Less of derogatory "fag" please Midna or I'll have to deal you a warning.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly.

The reason behind the control change was mainly down to the team playing a lot of Gears of War and Ghost Recon. If you're going to blame anyone blame the team as a whole.

By the sounds of all the previews and the way people have quickly adapted to the beta, I don't have any worries whatsoever about the control scheme.

EDIT: and if anyone could get a translation of the polish article:

http://www.gram.pl/art_8QPkG,7_Metal_Gear_...a_strona_1.html

I'd be much obliged.

I did until the beta. But I still don't like the X=O change, it just seems pointless to change it, although I have read stories of people taking MGS 2 back because they couldn't get past the start screen, so I suppose there is a reason, even if it annoys me.

Nice find. There's some pretty interesting things in some of these pictures. That possible boss battle with two other health bars looks like it could be rather cool. I also like the smoke warning.

Personally, I don't care for the idea of doing another escort mission, but hopefully this time around it'll be a little less of a pain in the ass somehow.

That's just stupid! Really stupid. There is a manual also included with the game which fully describes the controls. If they are to bored to look at it, it makes them stupid and not Kojima's idea to make the controls that way.

People...

I love the idea of the main screen being Snake just standing in the graveyard. Sends chills down my spine just thinking about it.

Hate the idea of backwards MGS controls (X and O) its to late to change it now we are used to it I wonder who came up with that uber cool western idea??? :roll: .
