Thanks. I'll have to watch those when I get home. I need a refresher course on MGS before attempting to play 4 when it releases.

BTW, I remember some people insisting Twin Snakes was against Kojima's vision, but according to the second video, Kojima wanted the cut scenes to be different from MGS. He wanted a different take on the story.

@rocketpig

don't worry all is explained according to PLAYSTATION MAG UK...

& its explained in a "non-confusing" manner..

I was just watching them...

I'm so excited for MGS4 now... All I need is a PS3... And I'm so buying the MGS pack with MGS1, 2, and 3...

I would love to go back and play MGS and MGS3 but I find the controls incredibly frustrating now. After so many other TPS games with vastly superior controls, I just can't go back to that mess of holding down buttons (especially in MGS3, it's one of the worst controlling games I ever played).

Except it's not a third person shooter.  The controls in MGS are fine IMO.  I do appreciate that Kojima made the controls more shooter friendly, but I never had any complaints about playing MGS1/2/3.  The only thing I really hated was the camera, which was conveniently fixed in MGS3: Subsistence.  Then again, I'm not incredibly picky about controls/controllers.

 That's why Kojima is changing the gameplay for MGS4, to make it less frustrating

 Already watched both parts and I can honestly say that Gametrailers knows how to make good retrospectives.

I have forgotten how freaking awesome MGS1 looked for its day, even if the story isn't my cup of tea. 

Brandon is awesome, He knows what he does when he make those retrospectives.

Saw them already and I can't wait for next week for the part about MGS2.
