IGN hack Jeff Haynes has been to Konami in Japan and finished MGS4. As you can see here, in a piece entitled, “I’m the first American in the world to have beaten MGS4, which is freaking awesome,” Jeff’s pleased by this.
You should read all of this, but a stand-out bit says that the game’s far more open than previous instalments.
“Whereas previous Metal Gear Solid games have been relatively linear in their approach, MGS4 is much more of an open-world affair,” said Haynes. “While there are still specific locations that Snake will need to get to (which will constantly be indicated on Snake’s mini-map), the environments that he finds himself in will provide multiple paths to get him to his eventual destination. This provides much more flexibility in how you fight your way through the battlefields that engulf MGS4.”

Was that a whole article which basically boils down to “FIRST!!!”?

Kinda. There’s a lot on the game in there. He is quite pleased with himself though, yep. Mind you, it’s hardly surprising.

Smug git!

The game sounds mental. I’m seriously interested now.

Blerk: mart’s going to do them next week. Can’t happen soon enough. More stories!

Yeah, a screenshot gallery will be very cool.

Had a chat with him about it yesterday. Sounds as though he’s found something nice and easy to use, so it’s all good.

Nice article from IGN there - doesn’t really give anything away, but has definitely got me excited about this game.
GTA IV I really don’t mind waiting a while to play, but this is actually making me want a PS3 by the summer.
