MGS 4 midnight launch pics

via Computer and Video Games


Here are some snaps of the Metal Gear Solid 4 midnight launch event that took place on Oxford Street, London.

A camo colour-wearing crowd (and some bloke with a truly epic afro) braved the hazards and hoodies of late night London to wait in line for the 12-o-clock opening, when the first copies of the game were handed over.

Well, almost the first, anyway.

No official numbers have been issued for the night, but it looked like it went pretty well.

It's expected that the flagship title will shift a fair few PS3s, with Sony smartly putting out a hardware bundle to go with the game.

And we've got our copies sitting right here, saying "play us, play us" in a quiet voice. You guys will be too busy playing to want any news today anyway, right?

Were you at a midnight opening and then went straight home (via the muggers) to play it all night? What are your first impressions? Let us know below.

In case you're still undecided, here's PSM3's review in full. And if you've forgot what the hell the story's all about, head on over to Joystiq, who's got a good little round-up of the whole series.

The game is ****ing amazing. Easily the best game made to date.
