Actual gameplay footage can finally be seen, and wow is it impressive! It's about 15 mins long and shows off some neat gadgets/tricks that is new to the series. Def worth a look.
Say what you want about Sony and the PS3, but MGS has always been a great staple for them. This might actually be a good enough reason to buy a PS3....... errrrrrr maybe when they start handing out $100 off coupons for the damn machine haha.

I haven't played one since the 2nd one on PS2. Looks cool though.
Longer RE5 trailer released today too:

That RE5 trailer looks really fucking awesome. It looks like some of the shots are gameplay and I'm glad to see they're keeping what looks like the RE4 control scheme.
The "zombies" looks really wild too since they appear to be pretty fast in this one.
Can't wait!

Yeah, I noticed that too...was hard to tell the difference between cutscene and gameplay, which is just CRAZY impressive to me.

Been playing it for hours & hours the past 2 days. I'm at the final boss, will probably beat it tomorrow morning.
If you plan to play this game you may want to set aside at least 3-4 hours each time you wish to play it. 3/4 of the game is cut-scenes & movies, no exaggeration. Most of them range anywhere from 20 minutes to almost an hour. It's a bit convoluted and excessive, but oh well. I wish they would've done a BIT of editing to keep them from being so long and drawn out. It's more like watching a movie than playing a game.
No BIG complaints here though. When you are playing, the gameplay is tons of fun.

I played through this over the long labor day weekend.
Always been a fan of the metal gear games. The story is really convoluted, but still miles above most video game stories. The voice acting is also excellent for the most part.
The production values on this game are the highest I have ever seen. From the music to the graphics everything is top notch. They really flex the muscle of the PS3 on this one. The cut scenes are not pre-rendered, but look almost as good as if they were. The facial animations, attention to detail, etc. are without equal in video games. For example, during most of the cut scenes you can look around, change your view, zoom in, etc. It's almost like Kojima is daring you to find a mistake or something that doesn't look good.
That being said, I was slightly disappointed with the first 2 missions. They felt very similar to me. But at the end of Act 2 and continuting into Act 3 and 4, the story becomes Epic, including some very intense action sequences and cut scenes. Mission 4 esp. is fan service galore, returning to the scene of the first Metal Gear Solid game (including an amusing "dream sequence"). I won't spoil anything, but the end of the Act 4 is especially cool.
That being said, I really would like to see Kojima tackle something else. He is obviously trying to change the way we think about video games, but I still feel the story is too complicated and silly. I don't mind the extended cut scenes so much, but a lot of the ones in this game are filling in back story which just consists of someone talking over a fairly basic graphical display.
