The controls may be a bit funny, but graphically its a tad better than the PS2 and the game is the exact same as the PS2 version. So yeah, give it a shot. (MGS2 will definately confuse you, though, regardless on whether or not you played the first one. However, playing the first one REALLY helps.)

Remember though, MGS2 has the best quote ever made.


"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple-stuffed worm in flapjaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hari-Kari Rock. I need scissors! 61!"

Well, it's safe to say I'll be skipping this one if we have to play as him for even 12 seconds. Even a hidden, optional minigame with him on Metal Gear Solid 4: Substance Abuse would be too much.

According to the MGS4 trailer I just watched...Snake will commit suicide in this one. He sticks a gun in his mouth, and at the last second, it fades...I'm hoping for another plot twist, but looks like Snake finally bites it.

And the fans' faces faded as they walked away from their game consoles, havig seen their hero die before them.


SPOILER: It was really Raiden dressed as Snake. Fans rejoice. Kojima makes millions.

Confirmed info on MGS4: *spoilers, of course*


Solid Snake IS the main playable character.

Solid Snake was injected with a 'wildcard' Foxdie: He has it, but the date of it's activation is random.

New Metal Gear units, called 'Gekkous', are half organic and half machine (organic legs, metal tops).

Snake is an old-fart due to accelerated aging (a side-effect of him being a clone).

In the recent trailer, Naomi reveals to Snake that he has six months to live. It's safe to assume that this is because of FoxDie, although I haven't seen that trailer (just read about it) and I'm not entirely sure.

Raiden is back, only he's taking the place of Gray Fox. He's actually rather impressive in the trailers I've seen, although he still has come nowhere close to redeeming himself.

Confirmed characters at the moment (I've actually seen em):

Solid Snake (Main character)
Raiden
Roy 'Colonel' Campbell
Naomi Hunter
Meryl Silverburgh
Hal Emerich (Otacon)
Liquid Snake/Revolver Ocelot

From what I've seen, this MGS is gonna be A LOT darker than previous titles. The trailers all have a heavy feeling of dread, and the most recent E3 2006 trailer has Snake preparing to commit suicide at the end. Whether or not he does is undetermined now, but with only 6 months left to live...this may be the end of Snake.

All I know is, if I were in the same game as Raiden trying to redeem himself (actually just Raiden altogether), I'd kill myself. So, I wouldn't be too surprised if Snake actually does it.


So, is it the real Roy Campbell this time? Or just a "Famous Purple-Stuffed Worm"?

The real guy, flesh and blood.

It also looks as if Meryl is in charge of...wait for it...Foxhound.

Well if I had only six months to live I would pick up sky diving or something of the like that was extremely risky becasue what's the worst that would happen eh?


Anyhoo, wow accelerated aging eh?  Kinda like Star Trek Nemesis .

Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwiatwaitwaitwait. Wait.


How could Meryl be in charge of Foxhound?


We all know that there is a branching point at the end of the original MGS. Either Meryl lives, or she dies.


It's pretty obvious that she has to die in order for the next game, MGS2, to take place, because those who've played MGS2:Substance know that in the Snake Tale where Snake goes to the Navy ship, it's what would have happened IF Meryl lived.


SNAKE! YOU'VE CREATED A TIME PARADOX! OH SHI-


Fission Mailed.

Actually, Meryl's ending is the canon one.


In the end, if you save Meryl, Snake rides off with her. HOWEVER, he also tells Campbell to get someone to go and get Otacon out of the facility.


The reason she wasn't in MGS2 is because Kojima wanted to focus on the story between Otacon and Snake. What does this mean to me? He hadn't thought far enough ahead, and decided that she should suddenly come back.

But hey, works with me.

Hopefully it's not a temporal discontinuity paradox because in those the past doesn't affect the future, and you have to repair the past from the future OMG ahhhh!  I swore that I'd never get myself into one of these .

Nah, it's more like the kind you create when you kill a gun fanatic while he's unconcious, or not be in a situation where Raiden doesn't grunt or make a whiny comment, or give your dad a blowjob, or something to that nature.

Amazingly enough, the Japanese voice actor for Raiden has an EXTREMELY deep voice...like, deeper than David Hayter.


I have a feeling that if we had got Raiden with the Japanese voice actor, our hatred would be slightly less.

Well what can I say, most of the time the Japanese voice actors usually grate on my nerves like in the movie "Castle in the Sky" don't watch it in Japanese with English subtitles unless you want an instant migrane .


Well too bad that they always make video game characters in the American release sound gay .

You know what kills me is how many guy characters look like chicks nowadays, and at first glance you're like hey she's kinda cute but manly and then you spend the next two hours throwing up because you thought a guy was cute .


This is why I miss the good ole' days of when guys were guys and girls were girls .

I wouldn't be surprised if they got the same VO for Raiden as they had in MGS2.


Oh, and to add fuel to your hatred, his new ninja suit has...high heels...
(Granted, these are actually technologically sound to improve his jumping abilities and overall manueverability, but they're freaking high heels!)

Well they have to appeal to the gay community somehow eh?  That way the fairy boys will go "he's cute and accessorizes too."

I know whatcha mean with the girlie men thing. That's why I like Snake: not ONCE have I ever thought "Hey, he looks like a chick."


And Raiden jokes aside, what the hell is up with his jaw? IT'S BLACK! (It's actually that way in the trailer, the black moves when he talks...so it's actually his jaw)

Oh, I get it now.


Snake: Raiden! What the hell, man....just....what the hell!?!?!?!?


Raiden: WHat?


Snake: Those shoes.....


Raiden: Oh...er.....


Snake: Well, I should have figured.....


Raiden: No! It's not what you think.....er....they're....THEY'RE FOR MAKING ME JUMP HIGHER AND DOING THOSE ACROBATICS I WAS SO FAMOUS FOR IN MGS2!


Snake: Those aerobics are why people hated you in the first place.


Raiden: No, here, let me take my clothes off right now and prove it to you.


Snake: ........(Put gun in his mouth. Screen fades to black.)


You only saw the end of that scene, forum-Snake.

I'll have pics of all the characters up in just a sec.


And I wouldn't doubt it whatsoever if that was the way the scene actually went.

Well hopefully it wouldn't be as bad as Tales of Symphonia where your main character Lloyd Irving (I think that's his last name) is tortured by the gay (in Japanese version) character Zelos who calls Lloyd his huggy bear and is always hugging and gropping your character .
