Hideo Kojima was on hand at the Playstation Premiere event in Japan to demo the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4. Not only was it looking awesome, but a few new details about the game were revealed.
• Snake can take weapons from enemies
• Snake can hide under metal drums – these are more effective than boxes
• Rolling too much in drums causes Snake to get sick and puke
• Looking at bikini magazines helps Snake refrain from puking – it’s possible to actually look through the pages
• There is a first person view as well as a third person view
• Crosshairs are controlled by the SIXAXIS
• Snake can roll himself sideways
• Using the Octocam let’s players pretend they’re dead
• Shake the SIXAXIS to turn off the Octocam
• Stealth mode Metal Gear MkII is controlled with the SIXAXIS – this is difficult for enemies to detect
With every new piece of information regarding this game, I become even more eager to play it.
