I dunno, I played through MGS4 3 times and each time I gave up just past the halfway mark of the game. This looks like it's running some last gen tech in a bunch of spots, like mouth movements, hair, and textures. I think if it scores 10 it will be purely out of nostalgia like MGS4 did.
Yeah, the assets for this game are built around the limitations of PS360. Definitely a cross gen game. As for the mouth movement with Skullface in the jeep, that was just the narration in the trailer. All the faces are scanned and all expressions and talking are mocapped. That's one part of the game that actually looks great so far, but I can see how you would get that impression from the trailer.
As for this game compared to MGS4 though? Might as well be comparing two different franchises. MGS4 is a 5 hour game with 10 hours of boring cutscenes. And even with that minimal amount of gameplay only the first couple of chapters put it to good use.
MGSV is the polar opposite. It's a massive freeform infiltration game. The entirety of MGS4 would only be a small blip on the first map of this game. Even without that scale, the gameplay in MGSV is some of the smoothest around. It obliterates the gameplay in MGS4.
MGS4 is the black sheep of the series while MGSV is looking to be the best in the series by far.
