I was at my cousins house last night for his fathers surprise birthday. So we took it as an opportunity to meet up since we had not seen each other for a long time. He is a major gaming freak, hes going into games design at LKW (Lim Kok Wing). I was supposed to go there too to do some other course, but there were problems at the top.
Anyway, he recently got a PS3 and I didn't believe him, so too make it up to him, I said I'm gonna blog his fancy for the PS3. As the title of this post states, the MGS(Metal Gear Solid, for you non-gamers)franchise is one of the most celebrated, succesful, and revered game in all of video gaming history. The story began in 1987, with the original game released on the MSX2 platform in Japan. That story spawned an entire new world view, penned from the creative vision of the series director, Hideo Kojima.
As for the game itself, MGS4 continues the story of Solid Snake. Set in 2014, five years after the "Big Shell Incident" (the events of the Plant Chapter from Metal Gear Solid 2), Metal Gear Solid 4 portrays a world where the restriction of military intervention on foreign soil has been eased, fueling the need for private military companies (PMCs) to fight proxy wars for business purposes. Nanotechnology has become prominent, both to enhance the capabilities and enforce the loyalty of mercenaries. The nanomachine system that PMCs use is called "Sons of the Patriots" or "SOP". The five largest of these PMCs (Praying Mantis, Otselotovaya Khvatka, Werewolf, Pieuvre Armement and Raven Sword) are owned by a single mother company named Outer Haven, operated by Liquid Ocelot. Amassing an army whose manpower rivals that of the United States, Liquid prepares to launch an armed insurrection by taking control of SOP. With the world once again in crisis, a rapidly aging and disillusioned Solid Snake is deployed into the Middle East by Roy Campbell to terminate Liquid. Guns of the Patriots takes place in five locations: the Middle East, South America, Eastern Europe, Shadow Moses Island, and Outer Haven.
