Two new camouflages available for MGS4

by Jem Alexander { Jul 4th 2008 at 11:00AM }

We're not sure we'd class these new MGS4 camouflages "DLC" as such, but they're definitely appreciated. Mostly because they're free, but also because they actually add something interesting and quirky to the game. Two new camouflages for your OctoCamo are now available to grab from the "Extras" section of Metal Gear Solid 4's main menu. These are named "Laughing Camo" and "Raging Camo" -- no doubt "Crying Camo" and "Screaming Camo" will be coming at a later date.

These new camouflages look pretty cool when applied via in-game menu, covering Snake in large Japanese script, but the fun really happens when you approach an enemy whilst wearing them. Depending on which one you have currently donned, you will cause your opponents laughter or rage rating to increase, sometimes causing them to burst out into hysterics or rawr at the sky. The easiest way to see this is grab someone in a CQC hold for a little while and then let them go. We have no idea whether this works on bosses, but we'd love to find out. Consider this your 4th of July homework. Class dismissed.

[Thanks Brandon!]

Does it make that big of a difference? Are you seeking some sort of acceptance by getting your name on the story? Do you need a hug?

WebScud @ Jul 4th 2008 1:50PM

I do need a hug, actually.

I just like seeing my name next to MGS stuff, that all. The site is called "Fanboy" after all, right?

I love the camo system in MGS4. Does anyone no about the hidden camo patterns in the game? I found one called Hand Camo in South America when you have to track Naomi. At one point when you activate night vision you see hand prints on the floor leading to an area with concrete squares with handprints like in Hollywood. If you lay on it you can register it. I'm not sure if it has a special effect or if there are more or if you unlock something from finding them all, but it's still cool.

They've patched the game and didnt add Trophies? That is a bona fide dick move.

Werent they the ones bitching at Sony a few weeks leading up to MGS4 to get 2.40 out so we'd have access to Trophies on launch day?

Sony should start firing back and Konami telling them to hurry up with their trophies so we can start collecting them and stop hesitating to play MGS4 in case we miss out on an obscure trophy that we'd have no idea about.

It's not a patch, its a little download thing in the network button they have in game. And besides, They aren't being "slow"; the 2.4 update was to come out yesterday. Only Super StarDust has Tropies, so I would expect some 1st party games to get them first, like Uncharted and Motorstorm.
