I gotta be honest. The Kojima game demo really amazed me, and I'll at least say it has a chance, but there's still a long way to go.

Well, for one, you can't say that because MGS4 isn't out yet so you can't judge it because you haven't played it. And 2, no game can ever be the best game because technology is constantly improving and if someone takes a game and adds one little upgrade to it, it is considered a better game.

MGS4 will definately be a candidate for GOTY and considering all the new gameplay elements in it and graphics, it could win, but no game will ever be "The Best Game Ever".

I wasn't particularly impressed with the 15 minute demo so I'll say no. It's attempt at "urban warfare" was just not interesting to me. Just feels too scripted and stale.

Dude you have gotta be joking. Out of all the thousands of games you think this one even has the slightest chance of being the best? Thats funny.

To me the best game has to be one that stands the test of time.

Tetris thats a best game.

Mario Bros thats a best game.

Street Fighter 2 thats a best game.

In ten years bring up MGS4 people will be like "uh that old peice of crap?" lol

It will be far from the greatest game ever made, considering only one of its predeccesors was at all "great".

No... it won't.

I'm sure it'll be a very fun game to play, but it won't be the best game ever made.

People get so excited over their old favorites, when their old favorites should have died off years ago.

So many games have fallen by the wayside, or are a 'fad' for a generation ...... great games come from a series which are over 4 generations long, like Super Mario, Tetris, Pong, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda and Metroid Prime ... these games are great and are some of the best ever ... I'm not saying others cant be great but to be the best ever you need to be able to look back in 10 years time and say it, not before it will be released ...

I like that list because all of those lasted because they were fun to play - say for Final Fantasy.

The only reason MGS lasted as long as it has is because people want to know what happens to Snake in the next enstallment. Sure, they're pretty fun games, but their gameplay has been matched and even bettered by other titles.

Really, when it comes down to it, people just want to find out what happens in the crappy story.

...... nobody plays Mario because they want to know what happens to the princess next.

Definetely not best game ever... I don't even think it will be the best PS3 game in 2008 (LittleBigPlanet) but it does have a good shot at AAA and will hopefully deliver a great finish to the series

For me? Probably not... Hell maybe not even my favorite of the MGS series.

I was impressed by what they showed of MGS4 yes, but looking at the early impressions as a driving force, I can definitely say that I was far more impressed by MGS2 back then, than MGS4 at this point in time.

Still, MGS2 turned out to not be my favorite in the series, so... I will never know untill I actually finish MGS4.

That´s not a very good comparison now is it? MGS4 is Kojima´s next MGS there is no way a fan of the series will be disapointed 1 was amazing so was 2 and 3 4 will be "next gen" it´s going to be very sweet.

so you want me to speculate on a game that isn't out and compare it to every game than has ever been out?

on the basis of my own tastes no.

on the basis of mass appeal. i doubt it.

critically? i also don't think critics will give it all 10's

I think so. I'm hoping at least one person agrees with me. ;)Watch_Me_Xplode

To me and many it will be the greatest game ever made. But to many others it will not. The greatest game ever made cannot really exist--it is all a matter of opinion. But many opinions will most likely be checked in the yes column. I think that just about everybody will have this in their very small list of best games ever.

i haven't even played the game yet, and i could already say it will be one of my all-time favs (i think it will be up there with the likes of Chrono Trigger, FF7, MGS1, OOT, ....)

Like what? I don't have a PS3, but after seeing MGS4, I may be forced to get one when that one comes out. It should be the best game ever in its genre... but to say best ever? I don't know...

Greatest game ever made? It probably won't even be the greatest game of 2008, considering all the competition (or hell, even the games coming out by the end of this year). No point in hyping a game up so badly that you only set yourself up for disappointment. There's no way it'll be less than good, but let's not get crazy.

I don't even see it as stealth anymore, really. Hiding under steel barrels doesn't seem that stealthy to me.

I do think it will be GOTY in 2008, but at the same time, this guy is right. When you hype games up too much, they always wind up being disappointments. That is what I saw with Halo 2. If it hadn't been that hyped, people would have been dancing naked in the streets over it. But it's hype got so outrageous that inevitably some said it was a "let down."

Thats so hard to define and so many variables to take into account. I think the fact that the series remains popular after 20 years should be good enough accolades.

*Looks at topic title* .... LMAO!!!!!!

I'm sure that MGS4 will be a good game for most people and a great game for the hardcore fans, but there is no way in hell that it will be the best game ever made. It's sure to get a good rating but it won't be long before it's forgotten.

In fact I'll say this right now...If Metal Gear Solid 4 somehow becomes recognised as the best game ever created, I'll eat my own head!
