You never know what's in store when Hideo Kojima and his crew are working on something, and because we know some are paranoid about the development Konami Digital's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, here's Kojima Productions Assistant Producer Ryan Payton talking about control schemes, flashbacks, monkeys in pants, and not screwing with the fans.

As those keeping tabs on the game have seen before, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots offers both over-the-shoulder and first-person modes. According to Payton, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater's controls and camera received negative feedback, so the developers are making sure to please everyone with what's supposed to be Snake's last mission. Japanese gamers who aren't experienced with FPS games can make use of auto-aim, while there's free look for everyone else.

Another cool feature the devs added is the flashback button during cutscenes, which allows players new to the series to view related movies from previous MGS titles and figure out what's going on. Nobody says it better than Payton, so find out more by watching the embed below.

Holy ***** this Guy talks Fast *lol* . Anyway.. This guy make the execptations of the Game really High.. but he seems also Confident and I believe MGS4 can really be good. I loved the other 3 Parts.

Sweet

That "Flashback" feature is pretty sweet.. I've played all the MGS games but I can never remember exactly what info came from where... I look forward to seeing it in-game.

Flashback

....hells yeah! Great idea for a future, so no one ever feels like they're in over their head jumping into the fourth game. I myself have never beaten any of the games, but I have watched them be beaten, so I hope this one will keep me engaged long enough to experience the last chapter of MGS. I may even go back and play the others as sort of a prequel to the latest version. A definite buy! And by the way, the reason he's talking fast is because he probably has a million other people waiting to talk to him, so he has to deal out his delivery in a short time frame. He's a very good speaker, though, so it kept me excited throughout. :D
