25 AMAZING Details in MGS4

[@oKnightzo]

Kept you waiting, huh? Been working on some bigger videos that won't release until a few months from now (hence the lack of uploads 😅) But I've briefly put them on hold to bring you guys a good old detail video on a much loved game that I haven't covered before. Hope you enjoy!

One detail I saw in the video is that, after Naomi tells Otacoon that he looks better without glasses, when you call him by code in the next mission, he will no longer wear them.

[@Lockn3s5]

It's an actual plot point that Hal misses something because he stopped wearing his glasses after Naomi tells him that.

[@bobmarley6306]

It's ridiculous how good this looks full-stop let alone for a 2008 PS3 game, looks better than some PS4 games.

[@Uncaged_Rage]

Most likely being emulated via RPCS3

[@solidbhatt]

It doesn't look good on ps3 but this is running on emulator with high res and sharpness

[@severussin]

You can tell it’s emulation because the vomit has no ground texture

[@arrmigliato]

I don't get how the fact it is being emulated changes the fact it still looks good. Best the emulator can do is upscale the resolution, on a 720p monitor and a PS3 it would still look this good

[@oukeith]

​@arrmigliato I just played it on a ps3 last week and the cutscenes look better than most ps4 games it runs at 30fps the game could really use a remaster.

[@BeansOnButter]

You forgot about the result from Mantis' attempt on vibrating your controlling. If you have vibration enabled he'll be ecstatic that he's "still got it", but if you have vibration off he'll be afraid since he can't do it

[@Dvdpatriota]

The problem with this video is that this is more curiosity/Easter eggs than details in the game.

[@shinyshinx789]

I got this on my first play through cos my PS5 controller has no vibration when used on a PS3. Was very surprised to learn there's other variations of the cutscene.

can't believe it's already sixteen years ago. I remember the day I bought it from the gamestop, it was my first AAA PS3 game so I literally stared for all the time at Snake chainsmoking during the starting installation because the animations were so impressive, God I remember how long it was, the waiting for playing it was excruciating, and then I literally stared for other 15 minutes at the starting screen, vibing to the title theme

[@bobmarley6306]

Exactly the same experience here except I was a kid and played it at my uncle's house

[@deloreandmc88]

Christ, it's been so long. I too remember when I bought my xbox 360 in 2007, when I bought CoD WaW in 2008 and other great games from this time period. It was just such a fun time, we had great stuff coming out almost every month, music and movies were also nice. 2007-2012 was the golden age of our generation...I was 12 years old and happy.

[@cptsnake1202]

MGS4 is personally my favorite game out of all the other MGS games due to the variety of options you have in the game. In terms of story line tho I enjoy it the most and the fact you revisit some old places from the old games. Glad to see people going back to this game and giving it the credit it deserves. Great video!

[@mossbergEROCK1]

The engine in this game is the best, I believe. I loved that you can lean over walkways while prone to aim. As well as go lay down and aim on your back with or without a hostage. I think this was the first game that I ever saw that in.

[@identityinvalid7807]

Staring at Meryl and restoring psyche just makes me sad. So David still likes her after all but forgoes her do to him being so fucked up. His ending is one of the saddest things I've ever experienced.

[@AETERNA-PASSIO]

Kojima seemed to really resent being basically forced to make Metal Gear himself after expressing interest in letting his team take over. it'd make sense that resentment would spill over to the fans as well, giving us this sad storyline to contend with.

[@mariuzmadden8552]

@@AETERNA-PASSIO man that must suck for Kojima, imagine playing the same videogame everyday for 5 years nonstop, that's what it feels like to make the same story with the same character, or playing a TTRPG with the same character, you have the drive to create much more but you cant because they are forcing you to stick to your old story.

[@Somekid980]

Grammar is important to read a message thoroughly and clearly. Grammarly is free y’know?

[@Freelancer837]

@@AETERNA-PASSIO That doesn't really apply here. It's really just because Kojima does not like Solid Snake. His own reasons is because Solid Snake isn't a "real person" because he's a clone. It's why Kojima liked Big Boss so much instead.

Happy i made the right choice at that time, even if as a MGS fan i bought the console just to play it since it was an exclusive (and keep being to this day).

They had already developed a 360 port which didn’t make the cut as the game was extremely large to fit into DVD. So they could work with that as a template

@@okiramadhan2788 Konami was spiraling the drain in regards to making console games by that point. theyre basically Pachinko/Mobile Games oriented now

[@morsecode980]

I feel like the open world concept doomed MGSV for failure. Instead of 2 giant, empty open worlds, it should’ve been like a mix of Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes - keeping the episodic, closed levels formula but allowing you to approach the base you’re infiltrating from any angle. Then the development time spent on an open world could’ve gone to finishing the story instead

[@WayStedYou]

Kind of hard to do when the areas are so massive, and it probably would've done if they just let Kojima continue working instead of seperating him from the team and push it out early.
