Fox News does a Metal Gear Solid retrospective

by Majed Athab { Jun 4th 2008 at 9:30PM }

GameTrailers isn't the only place where you can find a Metal Gear retrospective to get you pumped up for Metal Gear Solid 4. You can watch another one of those compilations of nostalgic memories at Fox News. Yes, that's right, Fox News. It looks like the hype surrounding the final tale of Solid Snake is slithering into mainstream press coverage; albeit, Fox News' take on the series is rather dry and flavorless compared to GameTrailers. All in all, it's still good to see that gaming is grabbing the attention of a major news network ... and more importantly, in a good way.

Its funny how Snake was out of retirement for the Shadow Moses mission when he looks so young compared to his current state lol.

Wow, that was actually....good. That might be the first thing I've liked off Fox News...ever. I'm guessing that was on the website for Fox News. No way they put something this good on their network.

Kudos Fox News, job well-done. It may be the only time I ever say that.

SPOILER ALERT!! Characters that you may not know are in the game are revealed in this one segment.

Every bit of MGS4 footage in this retrospective has been seen multiple times in previous trailers for the past two years.

I wish i would have read your comment before watching. Damn.... If you want to be a MGS4 virgin like i was trying to be, do not watch this retrospective. They talk about some character information that you might not have known otherwise.

mat,

That doesn't make it any less spoilerish. Thanks, I won't be watching this as I too, want to be an MGS4 virgin.

Getting my cherry popped: June 12th

I have a quick MGS1 question to any MGS Know-it-alls :D .
In MGS1, how old is Snake???

Jonathan @ Jun 4th 2008 11:13PM

snake is 42-43 in mgs4, shadow moses was 9 years ago from then, so 31-32.

Noshino @ Jun 4th 2008 10:54PM

This is actually the most "casual" yet still detailed enough review that I have ever seen....guess Fox News isn't a virgin anymore...

wocyob @ Jun 4th 2008 11:18PM

I am Mr. ANGRY Boy!!! I use CAPS and multiple exclamation marks to express my RAGE at trivial things!!!!!

On a more serious note, I am in awe that Fox News did something even vaguely awesome like this. I still hate Fox News, though.

Rayziel @ Jun 5th 2008 12:57AM

@NintenDood

To be exact Snake has 33 years old in the Shadow Moses Mission aka MGS1.

Kira @ Jun 5th 2008 6:17AM

Heh heh,they said "Whiny, prettyboy Raiden"

Also, the frequent "GW"s messed me up, since that's the name of the censorship program used by Arsenal Gear.

JaseH @ Jun 5th 2008 11:22AM

Wow... that's some awesome stuff.

My cousin wasn't a MGS fan AT ALL. He didn't care about it. Never understood the storyline. Couldn't be bothered... but this video made it all that more clear for him.

And now he's fucking pumped.

I wouldn't blame him.

So am I!!!
