To further extend the Metal Gear Solid 4 coverage today, we're bringing you the first 13 minutes of MGS4 played by Kojima himself at the official completion party. The video is brought to you by 1up.com and they were allowed to capture the video while attending the event. Instead of boring you with more words, we've included the video below for you to check out.


On top of the stunning visuals, we're really digging the dramatic melodies and the immersive sound of the battlefield. We'll bring you more as it happens so stay tuned.

    13 min of spoilers won't hurt what could be hours of fun and epic-ness. I'll watch it over, and over and over.

     

    AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again......until June 12th.

    for those of you that are afraid of spoilers dont worry there really is nothing we havent seen before basically clips of past videos and the april fools day video so dont worry but gameplay looks phenomenal i hope snakes adventure takes him else where the middle east is very brown and not cool.

    It took about 1 hour to stream 12 minutes of this, but do you know what?

    It was worth every second. Its one thing to watch multiple short trailers, its quite another to experience the cinematics & atmosphere in this trailer.

    This just blew me away.....better than I had anticipated, although I do hope the FPS aim mode is sharpened up a little for this game.

    BTW...does anyone know what that box of melons symbolised? It states, "No place for Hideo"......

    I seen this many times before... so I didn't see anything new. But the game is incredible. I can't wait for the game to come out, now that the MGO Beta is over.

    An AK...jammed???  I call BS unless someone rigged it.  AK's are invincible.  And that sniper sounded like he was shooting a .50, out of an SVD...or am I seeing it wrong?  I mean that freakin rifle was sounding like a distanced .50, not the SVD which has more of a snap than a thud.  Anyway, still looks amazing, midnight release.

     All I can say is "Wow!"  I've never played a MGS game and this will be my first as I've already pre-ordered.  This thing looks like a FANTASTIC visual experience but with more than that....an ACTUAL STORY to it.  Not the usual, bald space marine with a bad attitude deal.

    Looks to me like he's had to infiltrate a war zone by riding along with those guys and guess what?  He wasn't able to sneak in with every weapon known to man at his disposal.  A bit of realism, go figure!  I also thought the AK jamming was the whole ID tag thing coming up to bite him...part of what they talk about in the subtitles during this opening.

    Bottom line, this looks like a truly fun game and a great experience.  Love how the "cut scenes" are melded into the game play.  Especially since it seems you truly get dropped into the "S***" from the get go.  There's no WAY you'd survive all those freaky things at the start of a game.  Can't wait!

    mate, before playing mgs4, try getting your hand's on past ones otherwise you'll miss out on the essential of the main story of the serie! This video ain't working for me!

    This game is so epic! Him kojima must be a master at making games all the things in such  a game been superior overall in the game! I'll for sure been getting this one, and I hope Europe will be getting a 80 GB Playstation 3 bundle, that should be with this game!!!
