It's an homage to The Matrix!What a strange robot in the first shot.
Reminds me of a program Rik Mayall (Bottom, and he's in the upcoming Alone in the Dark game
) used to do....a long way back. It was him reading children's stories while he sat in a big arm chair that had Ostrich legs...the title screen had him sitting in the chair as it ran across the world. Very odd. Might have been Grim Tales or Jackanory....but I don't remember them having an Ostrich chair
That gameplay video was amazing! I hope the control scheme isn't overwhelmingly complex. If it's easy to pick up and play then this could be one of the best games ever.

i believe they simplified the controls compared to previous MGS games to make it more user friendly.
It seems it's confirmed that MGS4 is a BD50 release.

This is a well-known blog by a game shop owner in Japan, and she went to Konami's retailers meeting yesterday. At the speech for the event, Konami's executive officer said the price would be announced on March 21 and the game has the biggest volume in the series on a Blu-ray dual-layer disc. I suspect there may be a Playstation event on March 21.

There is one thing that makes me wonder if they are mistaken about it using a bd-50. I was reading through this article:
http://gizmodo.com/366260/whole-blu-world-the-format-wars-bloody-aftermath
...in particular this quote regarding movies:
"...that they might have trouble buying dual-layer 50GB Blu-ray discs to produce them on, because the more settled Blu-ray studios have already purchased the entire 2008 stock—not hard to do, thanks to the limited number of replication sites and lower yields."
That's not the first time I've read that the dual layer replicators are maxed out. So how is Konami gonna meet demand? Maybe they got special treatment and got ahead of the line on front of other movie studios for access to bd-50's. But if demand exceeds their expectations, then what?
This thing is so cool it deserves its own thread, but if fits here quite well too

Unfortunately he is right about many things in his MGS series. Even if its not completely "literally" in many

That would be an interesting OT discussion, IMO.

Yep it would.
I think MGS deserves a thread, Even one in the gaming forum as a game that tries to treat its gamers differently and to be more than just a game but more like a post modern work of art. I think it is probably the only game that can fall in the same league as George Orwell's work.
They are almost "prophetic".
