Who knew Hideo Kojima had a sense of humor? Well, if you've played any MGS game, you know he's infamous for throwing stupid s*** (Namely the ability to make Snake throw up) in games as inside jokes. But does he have the balls to mess around with some of the "Elite" TGS goers as he parades around Metal Gear Solid 4?
The answer is yes.
The trailer starts out with this wierd text effect mixing up the letters and words of "Metal Gear Shock". You could virtually hear a reviewer groan as he thought he was in the wrong area. But yes, this is Metal Gear Solid. It gets even more confusing.
OH A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME! This makes much more sense. Before we continue, I guarantee, because this is a Kojima game, it will contain the following things:
- A Badass
- Guns
- Awesome beatdown scenes
- Fancy camera angles
- This wierd green-tan filter
Trust me.
Forget pre-rendered stuff! But while you're forgetting it, let's watch some of it!
The movie switches into a first person mode. Remember that theoretical guy who thought he was in the wrong area? Now he's looking for the exit. It looks a lot like Killzone... meh. The last time I thought to myself "Man, I wanna play a mediocre shooter on a console", I played Halo.
"Format? Playstation Scenes". What the hell? I mean, I know that some engrish is going to sink through the cracks in this show, but COME ON. You know Hideo Kojima was sitting with his American buddies at the bar talking. It's like
Kojima: What about this, guys? "Format? Playstation Scenes".
(Drunk) Friend: GENIUS! It sounds so cool in English!
(Drunk) Friend 2: This will be the best trailer ever!
Kojima: I know! Now give me money or I make another re-hashed Substance game!
(Drunk) Friend(s): How much will you take?
