You have to finish the game once, then load a new game with the completed saved file.
I can't wait until I get this game, I've brought it on eBay already, so it'll arrive any day now.
I even went out and brought the Official complete MGS4 guide, it's awesome!!!
I love the whole MGS saga!!!!!!
I brought my PS2 becoz of MGS2 back in around 2004. Last year, I brought my PS3 becoz I heard MGS4 was coming out.
I can't wait until they start making more of the Metal Gear game franchise in the future!!!
This is only the end of Snake's story, there's so many other new characters.
But I'm thinking about Raiden, hope they make a Saga on what happened to Raiden & his life after MGS2 episode. That'll be cool and probably better than MGS4!!! hehe...

Series creator Hideo Kojima shows us the cooler points of his just-finished technical marvel
May 15, 2008
Last night, we were privileged to watch as Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima took the stage at a Konami press conference in San Francisco, sat in front of a giant screen and played through the early parts of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Privileged partly because it was the man himself, but mostly because he unveiled a few cool things that we hadn't yet seen, like a gun that summons tornadoes and a remarkably non-sucky piece of » Read Full Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots preview

 With so much we can’t share - like the string of set-pieces in [deleted], which are even better than the ending of MGS3 Snake Eater - let’s talk about what MGS4 isn’t: an unrecognisable departure. Strip away the gloss, the mythology of the trailers, the gravity of Snake’s predicament, and the core experience is classic Metal Gear - a fusion of MGS3’s advanced mechanics and MGS2’s cutscene, » Read Full Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots preview

Besides offering a first peep at a new-look, old-timer Snake in the middle of a war zone taking cover from patrolling soldiers and mech vehicles, this Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots trailer also provides another tantalising demonstration of the potential power of Sony's next-gen machine. The game's creator, Hideo Kojima, put in an appearance at the Tokyo Game Show to personally show off the trailer and to confirm that it was indeed running in real-time on PS3 development tools by » Read Full Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots preview

Snake's showing his age, but he isn't slowing down anytime soon
Dec 16, 2005
Given the reaction from fans, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots might as well have been subtitled OMG Snake is Totally Old. Although we've only seen the trailer so far, Solid Snake's grizzled appearance is already drawing murmurs from the peanut gallery. But while he's become the butt of innumerable Viagra jokes, Snake won't be softening with age. Set some years after Metal Gear Solid 2, his next adventure will take him out of the jungles and corridors he's used to, dropping him into » Read Full Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots preview
