No you don't. One had his reputation disabled anyway.
I'm very interested in seeing how they worked in the sixaxis. If anyone can make good use of it ...

Using the porn mags against enemies sounds like fun.
Hopefully there will be "appropriate" animations where you would expect them.
This feature was in MGS2 for sure.. I remember using it myself on the ship level many times..
What??? Doing that on top of a dead enemy soldier would look dirty!
Its good that player now has a choice between 3 cameras. Top down, 3rd person [subsistence] and first person.
And even over the shoulder view for shooting.
Just a question about art direction for those that follow this franchise: is the doll look of the characters part of the whole in-joke about the characters being a part of a video game and knowing it thing?
I ask because I have noticed that when using DOF in games you often get a minature or toy look and feel to an otherwise realistic environment. I noticed this a couple of years ago at E3 when I was watching some companies demonstration of 3D viewing glasses and Need For Speed (who knows which one, I lost count after the second one) suddenly looked like you were playing on a scaletrix set. Other games have this too e.g. F.E.A.R. when looking through sniper scope.
So I guess the question is, Is DOF effects producing this look or are the characters meant to look like plastic action figures?

Fair enough.
MrFloopy, I believe the scaled miniature effect is an unintentional consequence of over-aggressive DOF, mimicking what happens in real life when a regular-sized camera is used to shoot a miniature set--the aperture is over-sized relative to the scale of the subject, creating a very narrow plane of focus.
The miniaturization effect becomes even more enhanced when using a long focal length, reducing the perspective to near isometric. See the following images of real buildings and real people:

Fantastic. That certainly explains the minature look. So it's probably a combination of the two. Minature effect plus an intentional "comic" style for the actual characters.
I knew how the aperture effect is used with minatures to try make them look full sized. Had no idea it could be done in reverse.
You can do that effect with Photoshop, here`s a thread with nice examples:

This is a bit OT as were the last few posts, but thanks to Floppy for the inquiry, and phat & macabre for the answers. This is an answer to one of those unintentionally cool looking phenomena that I had either forgot to reasearch or had forgotten about. Really cool stuff - that I can use even - heavens to murgatroyd!

I'd also like to add that the effect is probably even further exagerrated, where the sheen from the minature effect in games because most character models already look like plastic army men.

There is a Japanese version of the trailer on the JP PSN. It is even higher quality at almost 380MB.
The quality is actually visibly better than the US PSN one. And the voice talent significantly better. Even the grunting during the fight scenes is better!

I can't wait to see more. As an MGS fan I'm hoping the game will one day match the quality of the original TGS05 trailer, but I doubt it will ever happen. The character model's face looked perfect, there was a lot of detail that has been lost and the skin shader was incredible. And the lighting was also extremely good, 0 shadowmap issues (it looked all raytraced). It was also more contrasted, less flat.
Anyway we'll see, they have time still
