I GOT IT



Here in Saudi Arabia we got it 2 days ago (9-6-2008)

At the beginning, you have to install the game for about 8 minutes watching Snake smoking a cigarette after cigarette

The game is a great mix between action and comedy


Congratulations to everybody, it's only a few hours away

Is there a thread around to the equivalent of the blu-clan CoD4 thread? There might have been one from the time of the beta. Not sure though.

there is a whole thread about MGO. there are a lot of posts in it too. most of it was about all the problems with the beta launch and the konami servers

I can't wait to play this game. I'm gonna try and see if CC has it since I get a free copy of the strategy guide, if not I'll go the gamestop where I have it reserved. They're gonna have a midnight release, but I'm not gonna bother. I'll be losing sleep just stay in line to get it and probably more since it'll be in my hands and I'll want to play it.

[TheFutureIsBlu]

man I havn't been this excited in a while! Can't belive only 8 hours left!

[saprano]

They also have the love theme from mgs4 if you want to listen to it

1UP: I'm sure you get this question every interview, but for those who may not know, could you talk about how you got involved working with Hideo Kojima and Konami on the Metal Gear Solid series?

Harry Gregson-Williams: I didn't work on the first one, as you know, but it kind of cropped up out of the blue. Hideo sent me a CD which he had compiled, with a few of my queues from sort of "blockbustery" type action movies that I either did the score for or contributed to. For instance, Armageddon, The Rock, and The Replacement Killers. He just kind of picked out a style and a sound that he really wanted to have on his game. So I mean, flattery will get you everywhere. [Laughs.] And it seemed like a great opportunity to try my hand at it -- I'd never done music for a videogame, so that was another reason it was interesting to me.

1UP: Were you at all familiar with the Metal Gear series before jumping on board?

HGW: Nope, not at all. Obviously I went out and started getting familiar with it. But as time has gone by and the series has evolved, our working process has changed a bit. On the first game I did, it was pretty hit and miss I think. [Laughs.] Hideo was in Japan and I was out in Los Angeles. But I think we've got a fuller understanding of how to actually put it all together now.

1UP: You've mentioned in interviews before that you sort of fell into scoring films "accidentally," that you never really planned to make a career out of it. Where does scoring games fit into that conception of your career?

HGW: Well by the time Metal Gear Solid 2 came to me, I'd been working away as a film composer for many days and nights, and it just seemed like an extension of what I was doing. The opportunity seemed like a great one, especially to work with Hideo. I did my research on him, and he was obviously a really smart, interesting guy. But we've always had to converse through a translator, obviously, since his English is about as rotten as my Japanese.

1UP: So how did that work for you, having to deal with a translator? Does it make it tougher?

HGW: Yeah. I mean, obviously we're in different countries as well. On MGS4, we did quite a lot of video conferencing -- I would send him music, and he would receive it and his engineers would line it up and play it as I was talking with him, and he would give me his comments straight away. So it was kind of a first-person thing, rather than getting an email from somebody who's translated something he's said. He would be sitting there listening to the music, and I would get his comments immediately -- I could actually see him physically. Although obviously, there was someone there translating.

It was more refined than when we first started on Metal Gear Solid 2. On MGS2, I actually didn't meet him until the very end, I think. We maybe did some press together after I had done the music. But I've gotten to know him a bit better now, and on this one, he was in Los Angeles quite frequently, several times during the making of the game, which was great. I could actually have him in my studio and really nail it down.

1UP: I read that for creating the score for Metal Gear Solid 2, you were given detailed descriptions of scenes and situations, but you never actually saw the game as you were writing. Was it still the same for MGS4?

HGW: Well as I said, it's evolved slightly. The descriptions were much fuller, and he would actually send me footage as it got done -- not with my music already in it, but to give me an idea of what a certain character or a certain situation would look like, and I never got that on the first game that I did. So the working process has definitely evolved a bit, and it's more conducive to us understanding what each other wants.

He also did the theme music for cod4 wich i love http://www.callofduty.com/

I'd rather have MSG2 or MGS4 signed as MGS3 wasn't my favorite thing in the world...
