MGS4 teaser easter eggs

[dirk]

i found this at gamestop.com:

In the meantime, you'll have to subsist on the riotous announcement video, which Kojima told the audience contains plenty of Easter eggs that would be hard to catch on first viewing

any ideas as to what easter eggs he's speaking of?

i'm thinking since there was a lot of light and darkness used, we'll be hiding in the shadows a lot. then there's the stop sign on the ground which could mean we'll be in an urban environment like inner city or something.

Raiden sits on the Main Character chair in the VERY end...

The bomb that fell down on the house Solid Snake was hiding behind was an atomic bomb called Fatman wich also is a charater in MGS2.

And the directors chair Solid Snake unfolds after he killed all the enemy's had a butterfly on it that flew away. There also was a butterfly on The End's sniper and also flew away when he moved it.

When the enemy sat on the directors chair a name tag fell of with a name on it. It was Alan Smithee a famous movie maker.


I don't think there are anymore easter eggs then this.

Could we see a MG movie coming out back to back with MGS4?

I hope not.

Alan Smithee, Allen Smithee & Adam Smithee are pseudonyms used between 1968 and 1999 by Hollywood film directors who want to be dissociated from a film for which they no longer wanted credit.

So in this case, Kojima said he was done with the whole Metal Gear world so he used Alan Smithee to dissociate himself from the next Metal Gear game.

Oh. So what your saying is that those names where used...to tell people that if/when the next filim or whatsoever comes out, I have nothing to do with it.

Explain more. Like how did they use the name and when would it be mentioned?

I guess Kojima is already saying the next MG game will be without him.

[mathius]

Kojima said before he was not directing this game, and he said Alan Smithee is directing it (there is an Alan Smithee, but Kojima meant it as the metaphor i told you about). So when the soldier sits down in the chair and Alan Smithee's name falls to the ground and reveals the Japanese name (not Kojima's) it is because they found someone to direct the film so they took Alan Smithee off of the credits because they found a person to actually direct the game. Then I guess Kojima changed his mind and decided to do it himself.
