Beauty and the Beast: say hello to Metal Gear Solid 4's bosses (56k warning)

In MGS4, bosses will take the form of beauty and the beast--beauty (humanity) hidden on the inside, and the beast (cybersuit form) on the outside, molded by the flames of conflict.

War changes us.

All four bosses will be female.

There's little doubt in my mind that these femme fatals are going to put up one hell of a fight.

And I can't wait :wink:

In addition, you'll come across...

Vamp

The immortal from MGS2

...and Liquid Ocelot.

"Activate it."

If history is any indication, MGS4 is going to be packed with boss fights that will require you to creatively use the different tools at your disposal to defeat them.

Oh, and one more thing.

Leaked footage of MGS4 final boss fight

do you have a link to where you got these. its painful to scroll back and forth repeatedly to see the whole screen. they look fantastic though.the_wet_mop

sure.

sometimes I reminisce about the days when GS forums took up the whole page.

They sound like the name of energy drinks.

All the boss battles in MGS are simple pattern based affairs and they all have some kind of weakspot you can hit for massive damage.

It looks pretty awesome.

Isn't that how almost all boss fights are? Its been awhile since I played a single player game, from what I remembered thats how you beat bosses.

Yes and no. It depends on the quality of the game design.

Ok. I really don't care about MGS4 anyway..never was a big fan of the series.

I just want some info on God of War III, thats more important.

part of what makes MGS bosses fun to fight is that in most cases, even though there is a pattern (like most bosses in any game), you can defeat them using your own way.

For example, the End fight. You could have taken him out from afar or snuck right up to him. You could have used a variety of different gadgets. After I beat him, I went online and read about different methods other people adopted to take him down.

tale as old as time

song as old as rhyme...

No offense, but........kinda...........GAY. M8ingSeezun

Well they are all women.

uh, yeah, that weakspot is called the head. :| Just look at nearly every other action game in existance. Theyall have the headshot as the classic weakpoint, are you singeling out MGS?

[QUOTE="M8ingSeezun"]No offense, but........kinda...........GAY. -Sora

Well they are all women.

I'm actually wondering why they are all female cause kojima never makes design decisions based on just a whim ^_^ Theres gotta be a reason behind it.

it means women can be affected by war just as much as men, and vice versa, wether you're fighting in the war or lose someone in the war.

I just threw that out there so I would sound insightful.

Exactly what did Sony do to you? I'm being serious, I really want to know. In every single thread you hate on EVERYTHING Sony, PS3 or PS3 related. They must have done something terrible to you personally for you to constantly attack them.

Are this bosses robots or humans ( not counting the wolf thing)VACASCULIADAS

The basic answer is that they are cyborgs. Human and machine.

kinda yeah. There's that video on gametrailers showing these four women being face-mapped and getting their bodies mapped, so we're gonna see them outside of those shells. they probably look real ***** up

One of them looks like Dock Ock's wife hehe.

They're all cool, but I hated the part when they screamed "RAAAAGGEEEE!!!!!"

bring back cyborg end with a glass jar on the top of his head with a jar of fluid and his brain floating their and some mechanised beard.seriousley it would be awesome if he came back.

i love how kojima creates the most messed up storys in gaming and the idea of beuty and the beasts sounds great.i seriousley cant wait to play this game.

even the wolf thing is human.

they were victims of war who became warped into cyborg killers by post-traumatic stress disorder.

Very nice looking for the most part, but afer seeing these, i looked at some other MGS4 pics realized whats been bothering me about the way this game looks from the first time I saw it...

Why does the game look like you are looking at your TV screen through a full glass bottle of cream soda?

Everything is tinted yellow, and oddly soft looking.

It's called a color filter.

A method used extensively in film.

Godfather II. One of the greatest movies of all time. Used a yellow color filter during Vito's sequences.

That's just one example out of numerous possible ones.
