Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots TGS trailer
At the 2005 Tokyo Game Show, Hideo Kojima unveiled the trailer for MGS4.
Couple of initial thoughts (watch the trailer first before reading on):
- Midway through the trailer, Snake almost keels over with chest pains and requires a medical shot to continue. The symptoms appears reminiscent of FoxDie which Snake was infected with by Naomi (MGS1).
- Snake appears to be significantly older than he was in MGS2 yet Otacon has aged relatively little. Another side effect of FoxDie or perhaps even the treatment for FoxDie? Genetic deterioration due to the cloning process ala Dolly?
- Battle weary; possible dying; hunted and outmatched. Things look grim for Snake. This is perhaps the bleakest we've seen MGS.
- The new metal gears (less bipedal tank and more bipedal soldiers) look almost a mix of Metal Gear Rex and Ray. Has the evolution of the metal gears changed to match the changing face of warfare? More urban and less large-scale? And are the desolate city the result of internal strife or international warfare?
- We know via MGS3 that the Patriots were the most successful of the Philosophers. Have the events of MGS1 and 2 changed this? Are the war-torn environments a result of an unbalancing of political powers brought on by the widespread knowledge and impact of the various Metal Gears?
- The new graphics, whilst technically impressive, have less character than previous MGS titles. More SplinterShell-ish and less of the Kojima charm this time round. Likewise, the setting; probably too future-tech for my liking.
- Background music is pretty low key as is the general scene itself. After the crowd applauding entrances of Snake in the previous two MGS titles, this was quite a come down.
- No real gameplay elements on show. The "Solid eye system" looks to be a gameplay feature as does the interchangable gun. The onscreen trailer text suggests "no hiding" as do the Terminator-esque visual systems of the enemies yet the urban environment would argue otherwise.
All in all, I have to say that it's slightly anti-climatic. We'll need to know and see more before we can draw real conclusions but as compared to the trailers for the previous titles, it's really a let down. Yes, it's just a trailer, and yes, we shouldn't make judgement before even seeing something more substantial, but I can't help feeling disappointed especially after the last trailer…
