Personally... I miss the old Snake, but it's great to see the power of the PS3.

No, it's Solid Snake and his "lil companion Metal Gear MK II." Don't forget that Snake was cloned with an age accelartion... But yeah, I think it's just the mustache that kills it, makes him look like a cop.

I'll tell you one thing though, hideo has created the Ultimate force

Solid Snake + Cute lil companion Metal Gear vs Metal Gears.

Well people speculate that Snake will age overtime in this game, meaning you can change his facial hair since art work shows him with a full beard.
 
Let's not forget DMC4...

Hmmm, I'm not too hot on the new Dante look. I'll reserve my judgement until I see it in motion though.

About the Old Snake one, it looks pretty neat. I don't quite remember how long it's been since MGS2 (2-3 years, I think?), but it seems too drastic a change for it to be Solid Snake. It's a bigger jump than between MGS1 and MGS2, but then again I don't remember how big the time gap was between those two.
 
I dislike Dante's new look, but at least they'll have his DMC1 look as an unlockable.

I don't even know what to say about MGS4.  WTF comes to mind.  But I gotta see the trailers for these games this week and read the developer interviews before I start getting overly excited.

Looks promising to me. It's good to see Kojima finally advanced into the future he's kept hinting at throughout the series.

And what's wrong with making Snake age? Fictional characters have had this coming for decades. How old are Mario, Batman and Wolverine now anyway? What about Magneto? He was in his forties during the concentration camp... The Solid series also definitively changes time periods. Showing the age is only logical.

Or are you complaining that he's too old to be cool? :puck:

Oh, I'm not worried, Hideo is just as talented as Miura. I just don't like the mustache, I'm fine with the aging process, we all knew it was coming since Snake is older then he's suppose to be, like when he's 30, his body is like 45 (that's not the exact ratio, just an example). But the great thing is, thanks to Big Boss's genes, his fighting copability is not affected.

Snake's always had a mustache... or at least he never shaved all that often.

And both these and the DMC "screenshots" are pre-rendered cutscenes unless its proven otherwise.
 
Obviously (or perhaps not so obviously) that Dante face isn't going to be the final look. In the interview the producer states that the final Dante will much more closely resemble the illustrations(third pic).

hmmm, judging from snake's reactions, it looks like he's shooting at the mini MG. Can anyone read the article? I think that lil thing stabbed him too.

Yeah, I don't mind aging, but that mustache... It's not so hot. Snake is all about a full beard to me. :guts:

Don't exaggerate. :puck:
 
Okay so it's three years later. But still, the accelerated aging shouldn't be kicking Snake's ass this badly. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be just as good if not better than the other three games.

creating plots and stories. Berserk and Metal Gear Solid actually have meaning to them, and are well constructed compared to crap like FLCL.

Right, that can't be argued.

Sorry but no. A lot of stories have meaning and are "well constructed", but it's just not on the same level here. Besides Hideo Kojima (because Hideo's just his first name and I have a feeling you're not a personal friend of his) didn't create the Metal Gear series all alone.

Haha, what a comparison really. And I liked FLCL, too.

Yeah, FLCL seemed like they were smoking weed while they were making it, seriously. Metal Gear Solid did have meaning to it, didn't you get the philosophy it has? It'full of it.

Edit: Just imagining a huge Robot coming out of a Zit on your forehead... scary...
