Description
The wait is finally over. After months of teaser movies, screenshots and small nuggets of information, Hideo Kojima’s epic finale to the Metal Gear Solid series is here and it’s every bit as awe-inspiring, staggering and amazing as you could have expected. This is Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Set in a battle-scarred future where war has become business carried out by mercenaries and machines, this visually stunning title sets new boundaries for gameplay and cinematic experiences in video gaming. The refined control system allows for some of the coolest gameplay ever seen as players guide Snake through to the end of his worn torn journey and tie up loose plot ends. Snake has been drafted in for one final mission, to assassinate his old adversary Liquid Ocelot that will take him through stages across the World, including the Middle East and South America (other locations are to remain secret until the game’s launch), and cause him to bump into a few old friends as well as new characters. Hal “Otacon” Emmerich is back again to provide Snake with local information, intelligence and useful hardware, including the Metal Gear Mk.II, a small remote-controlled robot with cloaking and offensive capabilities. Other additions to Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots include rumble support for the new DualShock 3 controller, full 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound support and more interactivity during the cutscenes such as allowing users to change angles and summon flashbacks. The final part of this must have title comes in the form of Metal Gear Online, included with MGS4. Initially compromising of five unique online stages created using Guns of the Patriots technology, Metal Gear Online allows up to 16 people to play simultaneously in five different modes ranging from standard Deathmatch to Team Deathmatch, Capture and Sneaking missions. Further Expansion Packs will be released throughout the year ensuring the content is fresh and rewarding for the players. THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE SOLID SNAKE SAGA. INFILTRATE ALL NEW BATTLEFIELDS WITH ALL NEW GEAR. ENHANCED CLOSE QUARTERS COMBAT SYSTEM. OCTOCAMO SUIT ABSORBS BACKGROUND DETAIL FOR ADDED DISGUISES. METAL GEAR ONLINE INCLUDED WITH GAME.
