As if there wasn’t enough merchandise out for this game already, we’ve truly got the icing on the cake here: 7cm tall, young, female, super-deformed, barefoot animé versions of your favorite Metal Gear Solid 4 characters will be available to purchase. Pictured from left to right are Ocelot, Snake, Raiden, and Otacon. They’re priced at ¥2,940 (US $27) and can be found here at komamistyle. Honestly I think these are pretty awesome.
Looks like someone at Gamefaqs.com has gotten a hold of this hugely anticipated title a week earlier than its official release date. User greeny69 shows off some of the opening menu screens, including a screen detailing the control setup for the game, as well as another that reveals the “OctoCamo,” which will let you blend in against a wall if you lie still against it.
He promises his screens won’t contain any spoilers, and so far that is the case. Whether or not he will post more is a mystery at this point, but stay tuned for updates!
For lack of a more complex or nuanced term, I can really only describe some of these new ads in the aforementioned fashion. Among the many bizarre and undoubtedly well-financed sights are sexy kung-fu terrorists, a giant robot praying mantis, and some scantily-clad girls who are lounging around with an octopus with a skull for a head. We all knew that sex sells in America, but tentacles? Perhaps this is part of some larger “weird Japanese fetish awareness” project that Konami is spearheading.
Supposedly they are all fake adverts for the fictional private military companies in the world of MGS4, and some of them actually touch on the futuristic themes and kinds of technologies we can expect to see in the game. What was accomplished is the generation of an increased amount of hype and discussion over the game’s release, so I guess he’s doing something right.

Metal Gear Solid 4 looks amazing! This is definitely one of my fave MGS4 trailers so far because we see a lot of the characters who will play their part and boy are there a lot of ‘em! With characters from Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 and 3 making appearances, we can rest assured that the fourth installment will have the biggest cast of characters in a Metal Gear Solid game to date.
With this being the Metal gear Solid’s swan song there are more than a few loose ends to tie up and questions that need to be answered. Will Ocelot finally die? How did Snake age so fast? What the f**k happened to Raiden? Why won’t Vamp just die? Why is Olga’s daughter so damn ugly? Why is Eva still wearing plunging necklines at the age of 70? Is that black man what Michael Jackson would look like if he hadn’t dyed his skin, ruined his face with plastic surgery and kept his pet monkey?
Xbox 360 owners needn’t worry about missing out on some Solid Snake action. I’m pretty sure Metal Gear Solid 4: Supersubsistatenance will probably be releasing for the 360 in late 2008, early 2009.
Don’t worry. Hideo Kojima hasn’t gone all Kingdom Hearts on us. Beauty and the best is the name of the new unit of bosses in Metal Gear Solid 4. Check ‘em out.
The psychotic cybernetic nutcase’s shown in that trailer go by the names of Screaming Mantis, Raging Raven, Laughing Octopus and Crying Wolf. Laughing Octopus is pretty much a rip off of Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man and the rest of ’em look like megazords from the Power Rangers.
Mantis, Raven, Octopus and Wolf were part of the names from the FOXHOUND unit from Metal Gear Solid 1 - I wonder if there is a connection. Hmmm… Ah well! I’m sure the game will feature a 2 hour codec conversation followed by a 45 minute cut scene which explains the whole thing.
So the world finally gets to see Metal Gear Solid 4 in action! Yaaaaay! The game looks brilliant. It doesn’t have me itching to get a PlayStation 3, but I’m a lot more interested in this game than I was initially. From the gameplay footage the game appears to sport the less enclosed areas of MGS3, along with the feel of a Tom Clancy Advanced warfighter game. But undoubtedly we’ll get the usual bunkers and facilities that pop up in every Metal Gear game. Enough of me talking. Check out the awesome video.
This gameplay footage definitely puts Snake’s sexuality in question doesn’t it. It now seems he has a desire for holding onto the penis’s of a male statues, taking soldiers from behind and then grinding over their unconscious bodies, dry humping the floor and fondling other men’s balls at gun point. I guess we should’ve known from the start. His code name along with the title of Snake’s last adventure says it all really: Solid Snake, Snake eater. *slaps forehead* D’uh!!
Everybody will be able to get their mitts on Snake and his dirty old hands at some point next year. At this time it’s still unknown whether this game will appear on the Xbox 360 - but I think we will definitely see it ported to Microsoft’s system by the end of 2008. Probably in the form of Metal Gear Solid 4 Supersubsistence X or something like that.

This is old news. But I’ve looked around on to other gaming blogs and couldn’t find a lick of this fan made Metal Gear Solid movie. And considering that I’m still waiting on news about the movie, I usually just watch this over and over again… It’s a Taiwanese fan trailer - and a damn good one at that. One of the best I’ve seen yet. So check out the video, you Metal Gear lovers.
