The graphics: You thought Gears of War looked amazing? Think again. Metal Gear Solid 4 will blow you away with its ultra-detailed characters and intricate environments, painting some of the most gorgeous graphics seen.
The guns: The final game will feature over 70 weapons, from lethal assault rifles to silent tranquilizer guns, and you can outfit many of them with scopes, laser sights, flashlights, and more.
he sound: MGS4 has some of the crispest, clearest sound effects we've ever heard
GamePro readers have spoken: the most eagerly anticipated PS3 title this year is none other than Metal Gear Solid 4.
The news might be unsurprising to some, given the amount of hype and anticipation surrounding this upcoming system seller, but what is slightly surprising is just how much of a win MSG4 achieved over other highly anticipated PS3 IP in GamePro's most recent readership poll.
The Hideo Kojima title pulled in 57.7%.
@kooistrak1, Are you saying that Konami would be so stupid to produce only 5 Thousand bundles ? I never heard of such a low bundle. Blue Dragon bundle on X360 is 200K in Japan.
Why do you have to bring Wii and it's 1.8 Million /month production output, and say "Nintendo is trying to create frenzy" ? Do you know how much is the PS2 monthly production ? Do you know how many X360 are produced / month ?
Do you have any idea what you are talking about when you talk about sold out and production capacity ?
Come on people this tells us nothing. If it said 1 Million preorders sold out that would be one thing for all we know they could have had 5,000. Konami just wants to be able say "sold out". Konami is doing the same thing as the Nintendo did with the Wii. Trying to create "frenzy" and attact stupid media like this link. I bet you will be able to pick this up on release date.
Konami's Japanese site has the recently revealed steel PS3 bundle listed as "Sold Out." Yep, before this baby is even on store shelves, it's sold out. Pre-orders are gone. The bundle includes a limited edition version of MGS4, a DualShock 3 controller and a steel colored system.
Posted by Gamestop employee & later confirmed by others.
The limited edition will retail for $84.99 and include the following:
A Blu-ray containing:
2 making of documentaries, interview with Kojima,
4 chapters of the graphic novel,
Metal Gear Import Soundtrack CD; Reserves for the limited edition will also get an exlusive Metal Gear Solid 4 artbook at time of purchase.
According to this scan from Japanese magazine Famitsu, the regular version of Metal Gear Solid 4 will retail for ¥8,800 (US $91), the Special Edition will go for ¥9,800 ($101) and the bundle will go for ¥51,800 ($534). And the color of the PS3 console in that special edition MGS4 bundle? That would be "steel." Fitting.
