Metal Gear Solid 4 gets recreated with thumbs

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 11th 2008 at 9:19PM }

It's Metal Gear Solid 4 ... meets "Thumb Wars." This lengthy ad does Kojima Productions justice by taking a humorous concept and running with it ... all the way. Clocking in at almost four minutes, this thumb-recreation of MGS4 is in fact, an ad for the upcoming Japanese mobile game, Metal Gear Ac!d Mobile.

Funny vid.

On another note, since when has 3mins 58secs been considered over 4 mins?

I could see it now: "Kojima is flippin' the bird on Xbots!!!"

it take real talent to do something like that, top quality advert on par with the new guiness ads (which are truely amazing)

Funny, but a very obvious take on the "thumb" series (Thumb Wars, BatThumb, ThumbTanic).

Also "...an ad for the upcoming Japanese mobile game, Metal Gear Ac!d Mobile," however the ad says "coming soon to Europe and Australia."

duckhunt8 @ Aug 11th 2008 11:04PM

That was really well made.

Gambit07 @ Aug 12th 2008 1:08AM

I was trying to mean fanboys will get ideas like that.

mezzanine @ Aug 11th 2008 11:49PM
