forster Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 (edited) So far the most up to date news is with the IGN preview. Anything that I pilfer from this link is just repeating things, if anyone has any new information to what is on IGN please post the link and credit your source. First three images on PS3 hardware Imageshack (expect these to go down pretty soon) http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~alandaly/mgs41.jpg http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~alandaly/mgs42.jpg http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~alandaly/mgs43.jpg Will try and keep this first post as up to date as possible Figured it would be good to have a definitive thread to keep everything in one thread. Feel free to speculate, but please, no arguing or childishness. So far we know these things for sure: Metal Gear Solid 4 will appear on the Playstation 3. Metal Gear Solid 4 happens after the events of Metal Gear Solid 2. Metal Gear Solid 4 involves Solid Snake Speculative: Metal Gear Solid 4's main playable character is Solid Snake. Big Boss is back (albeit probably as a clone - perhaps VR trained to 'turn out' like the original ? ) Another, bigger, more deadly Metal Gear robot will be present. Links and Media Officlal Metal Gear Solid 4 Website IGN Movies and Trailers Hideo Kojima Interview E3 2005: Metal Gear Solid 4 Preview Image flyer: From left to right: Vamp Meryl Raiden (with a child) Ocelot Snake Otacon Big Boss Naomi My personal speculation about this game: Big Boss is brought back to life, and the story centres around him and the Patriots - MGS3 I believe was meant as an introduction to MGS4, so that we knew what Big Boss went through, and why he turned out why he did in the first Metal Gear games - the world domination etc. Edited September 14, 2005 by forster Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372018-definitive-metal-gear-solid-4/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhav Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 the very guy (i.e. "left") looks like vamp. he's got the bullet hole in his head from mgs2. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372018-definitive-metal-gear-solid-4/#findComment-585973427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acezo Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 (edited) G4TV 20-min interview with Hideo Kojima IGN has a good article up covering everything they know about MGS4. Mainly a good shot at the characters featured in the poster. Left > Right Vamp Meryl Raiden Ocelot Solid Snake Otacon Big Boss/Uncertain Naomi/Fortune/Uncertain My guess at the story (and knowing how my guesses about MGS have been in the past, it'll be wrong :p)... Big Boss comes back (unless he really died, then I have no clue) and tries to use Metal Gear/Arsenal Gear in an effort to create a world free of the Patriot's rule, while Snake/Ocelot continue their effort to rid the world of Metal/Arsenal Gear while searching for Olga's child Where everyone else would fit in is beyond me Edited May 26, 2005 by Acezo Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372018-definitive-metal-gear-solid-4/#findComment-585973821 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sicburns Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Alright Forster, Here you go. From left to right: Vamp - Unknown - Gray Fox - Revolver Ocelot - Solid Snake - Liquid? Not Otacon because Otacon looks very different. - Big Boss - Olga Gorlukovich / Meryl Silverburg. Gray Fox's face looks 1/1 with the one shown in Twin Snakes so iam sure.

Laughing-Man Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 The person on the left is definitely Vamp, as someone said the bullet hole is a dead giveaway and Grey Fox mentioned above ^ is correct. I thought the lady on the far right looks like the wolf lady from MGS1 who you fight in the caves, but I can't remember her name. As for the other unknowns I can't really tell.

sicburns Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 But it can't be Gray Fox because he did after the Shadow Moses incedend. It think its Raiden because: - He's Blonde - He has Olga's sword. - And the baby , Raiden promised Olga too get the baby the goverment took hostage. - He is in the trailer. So yeah , its raiden Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372018-definitive-metal-gear-solid-4/#findComment-585974050 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they would somehow bring back Grey Fox since he was so popular with fans. And dammit to hell if they put Rose in the game, I can't take her incessant womanly yammering on the nanomachine communication link: "Raiden remember the time we went to see King Kong and we argued about the building..yadda yadda yadd, oh wait are you in a shoot-out with terrorists? Perhaps this isn't a good time to talk about buying new towels for the bathroom..."

Poor Raiden, he is just misunderstood. 585974110[/snapback] LOL - aka FAG - also, some of your character predictions, Frank well, arent most of them dead?? Yeah, the models look similar to the art there, but why would Kojima bring back dead characters? I would hope that he would invent new characters to move the story along. Then again, the characters who have since died may indeed be needed to the central plot of MGS4. I dont know, it makes the speculation about MGS4 all the more exciting. We wont know until we have seen every damn cutscene and every damn radio communication. Anyone want to speculate about the wraith looking 'Big Boss' or, ' Character art with slim body and eye-patch'? Go nuts people, you know you want to, or if not, PM me your predictions.

He just keeps coming back :p Meryl - The official ending of MGS1 was the one with Meryl surviving (written in "In the Darkness of Shadow Moses") Big Boss - from the way I see it, its his dead body in the artwork. If he has an active role I picture it being something supernatural or perhaps he was frozen after Outer Heaven. Naomi - She didn't die, but I can see her return having something to do with Fox-Die Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/372018-definitive-metal-gear-solid-4/#findComment-585975205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJediMedia Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Oh well, a lot of Metal gear fans did not like Acid, cuz it's card based game, but I suffered through it and beat it LOL I enjoyed Teliko in MGA. At one point in the game There are two Telikos trying to kill me because one was a fake Teliko She is also kinda cute like the girl in Ghost, sorta http://perso.wanadoo.fr/animelist/stghost.jpg Although it's kinda hard to judge from the quality in the PSP images.
