This'll make me buy a PS3.
Discuss.
Already have one, though this game is a big reason why. This only confirms my belief that the game would be amazing. Also, though I wasn't sad to see rumble go, and haven't missed it a bit since getting my PS3, I do find the directional rumble in this game pretty cool. Then again, I'm not surprised that the best use of rumble I've seen is in MGS4. The MGS titles (and Star Fox 64) are the only ones I've ever seen use rumble in a way that actually added to the gameplay experience. For most games it's an overused gimmick I barely notice anyway.
I've never played a Metal Gear Solid game before (no interest in playing the ones that are currently out, so don't try and make me!). Though, in saying that, I think this looks fairly awesome; very impressed.
Took them four tries but finally, a Metal Gear face off. $10 on Ray.
I think it's worth noteing that the demo at TGS impressed Kotaku (sp?)
And the guy who played it said he HATED MGS games :D
Oh, so it's Outer HAVEN now? What happened to Outer Heaven, then? :P
Oh my God I came. You haven't even taken the safety off!

someday.
Haha, Drebin made me laugh.
It's cool to finally see some of the story in a trailer, but this still just wasn't enough.
Although seeing Big Mama was cool. Maybe she's gonna take us to Big Mama's House. I'm really starting to wonder actually if she had a child from her one-night stand with the boss, maybe hence why she's now "mama."
there's alot of things that need to be cleared up, and i guess since this is "the final chapter" alot of them will be.
Big Boss was made sterile by the nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll during the 1950s. He couldn't have had any biological children.
i didn't know that. was that in snake eater, or when liquid's talking to snake in mgs1 on rex? It sounds like something from there, i'm not sure though. i guess it's just one more parallel to add to solid snake/big bossQuote:

The clones are sterile because they were intentionally engineered that way. Solidus says as much in MGS2.
Well, I'd think they were cloned sterile because of Big Boss's altered genes from the nuclear radiation he received.Quote:

Apparantly on some part of some DVD box set re-release they elaborate that it was the Davy Crockett blast that made him sterile instead of the Bikini Atoll tests.Quote:

Also I'm thinking about whether what Liquid said in 2 was true, that snake is aging faster due to Big Boss being cloned in the 70s. That would put snake's real age at like 90 and he doesn't look that old. I'm thinking maybe they'll slant it so that it's FoxDie that's having that effect.
And then there's the concept art put out early...with Big Boss. I heard in twin snakes Ocelot mentions in "the phone call" that no one knows where Big Boss' remains really are... damn i gotta play that!
I'm not sure what you mean here. Big Boss was cloned in the 1970's while MGS4 only takes place in 2014 which only puts him in his forties. His body is just aging rapidly so that physically he appears much older.Quote:

Technically his genetic code would be that old, but Snake still would have been born and grown up like a normal person so he is in his forties, or possibly early fifties by now. It's just that once he started to reach the age Big Boss was when he was cloned his aging began to accelerate.Quote:

Don't bother. Ocelot says nothing of the sort, and The Twin Snakes is pretty awful anyway.Quote:

Liquid was wrong, or rather, this was retconned as of MGS3. Big Boss was actually cloned while in his forties.Quote:
