Metal Gear Solid 4 Fan Blog

This is a rumor that’s been flying around for some time. It seems that Metal Gear Solid 4 might come to infamous XBOX360 – FINALLY. 8BitJoyStick says that the game will have some add-ons. Probably a different game for the 360 with different features, enhanced modes, and just happens to include the MGS4 storyline also. Until then, if you are a fan of the game from PS2 and don’t own a PS3, you can check out this bargain! PS3+80GB+MGS4=450$ on Amazon

Prologue

1. Watch the opening cutscene.
2. TIP: When you gain control of Snake, do not crawl under the truck immediately in front of you yet. Go to the right, and crawl under the second truck. You will find a hidden Ration.
3. When you’re ready, move to your left and press the X button to go underneath the other truck. This will trigger another cutscene. Continue forward and wait for another cutscene.
4. When you regain control, head north. There will be a lot of action going on with soldiers fighting large Gekkos, but try not to get involved. Go through the first building you see and head up the stairs.
5. Go through the door on your right, and find Ammunition in the corner.
6. Go back out of the room, and jump out of the hole in the wall.
7. Head left, turn right around the corner and make your way up the pathway. Turn right around the next corner, and when it’s safe, head into the building across the street slightly to the right. Make your way upstairs. To the right through a door there is hidden Ammunition in the corner. When you’re ready, go out of the building, and head right down the street ahead. Do so only when the patrolling Gekkos are out of the way.
8. Follow the red marker on your compass map, to your next objective.
9. NOTE: If you spot an enemy by himself, you can knock him out by sneaking up behind him and pressing the Triangle button. Be warned, though: you can’t use their guns, as they are ID-tagged.
10. Watch the cutscene, where Snake battles a Gekko and escapes. You’ll be given access to your normal Octocamo suit finally.
11. Once the cutscene is over, you’ll be able to save your game.

The 80 GB Metal Gear Solid 4 PLAYSTATION 3 Pack is still currently available, but very hard to find because most retailers seem to be sold out online and at storefronts.

The well demanded 80 gig is back, with a vengeance: Metal Gear Solid 4. I’ve got my own from Amazon and it’s great. I just play on it all day long.

I just love this console so much. As a media center, it does almost everything. It is the only gaming console to be fully Divx certified. And obviously, it plays back Blu-ray movies. In fact, it is probably still the best Blu-ray player you can purchase today. The gaming library has improved quite a bit since the original launch of the console.
