I know Sokolov is a verrrry common russian name, but I don't know why they didn't just go with Sakharov. They use Brznev and Johnson's names, right? Is the name changed slightly on purpose, or is it a translation error? Knowing that the Japanese mix their 'r' and 's' sounds. Who knows?

Regardles, Sokorov in MGS3 has similar feelings towards the USSR as Kakharov did and was considered the "father of the Solvier Thermo-Nuclear Project. According to my dusty notes, he was slightly exiled in 1975 for his way of thinking towards the gov.

Anyways, with further reading, I'm almost certain that the character of Sokolov is a tribute, as I'm sure they would not want to actually portray him as it might besmirtch his fine name.

What do you guys think about the MGS3 trailer. I can't wait to see what happens. Hate to say it, but I loved the story in MGS2.

As I've been saying incessantly in about 5 other threads to whoever will listen, that trailer was my favorite part of the show. If it'd been included on one of the Konami giveaways, I'd be watching it right now. I can't help thinking they gave away too much in it though, it's practically complete unto itself.

I've been looking, checking gametrailers.com, etc. daily, but no luck. It was 15 minutes long, so I don't know how likely it will be available for download at any kind of quality...

The nut grab at the end was unnecessary, and the second nut grab was just a little gay.

We-ell, we all know whos nuts those were. What the fuck is he doing in 1964? Another clone?

So many questions brought up in this trailer. Will the entire game take place in 64, or will they pull a MGS2 tanker on us and have only the 1964 portion take place for a part of the game?

Well it shows that scene of Big Boss in his older form with the eye patch, and also displays 1961 (i think it started at 61) and went though 1964, so who knows how the story is going to unfold.

Raiden being a clone of someone from the 60s would be kind of wierd.

I think at the end, they were showing the years, because those were the years the developers were born in. That's all.

1964 is the key year. The whole trailer is full of bullshit kojima english. I dont like the way he plays with the english language. It's not clever at all. Who cares? you.

Well, what struck me during the trailer was the fact that the woman (rumored to be one of Snake's superiors somehow) stated that half everything she had been told was a lie. To me that seemed like what we were seeing was then only "half" the story. I doubt much of anything can be extracted from the trailer, Kojima himself said both the E3 demo and the trailer were constructed to be as uninformative as possible.

When he first pulled out the automatic, I thought, "Huh?!" Then I figured they'd explain it in the game, but nope, they explained it right in the trailer.

Thanks for the link, it was hard to watch that trailer at the show, such a crowd of sweaty faggots were mushed under the big screen.

Well, you can stream this video from:

http://www.konamijpn.com/products/mgs3/english/index_video.html

but my connection sucks so it needs to buffer every 4 seconds and thus is unwatchable... I want to download it. I've seen it in bittorrent but it doesn't work... I'll guess I'll have to wait.

If you want to download the trailer (and anyone else, too) try out this software:


Stream Down


It works real well, and its free to use for 15 days.


I'm actually considering registering; its a very useful tool. :D

My theory is either one of two things. *Either the Metal Gear franchise is truly going back to the 1960's {and the original trailer from E3 2003 showed several years flashing by from 1960-1964} meaning you're probably BIG BOSS on several SPEC OPS missions for the U.S. Government who goes batty... OR, we are "Snake" who's on a new mission somewhere who during a life and death struggle and high fever, {sort of like Hitman Contracts} we get to re-live BIG BOSS's origins through sub concsious flashbacks??? Either way this game is going to toast all before it. It would be fuckin' the shiznits however, if Kojima-san would make the original two {Espeically Metal Gear II: Solid Snake} unlockable games after beating the game, or doing certain things in it, but being the faggot he is he probably won't. :(

...I'm off to check out this new trailer.
