EPIC!! Metal Gear Solid 4 EPIC!! A Review by Bojan [No Spoilers]

Reader Discretion is Advised: The following review is Bojan's own opinion, and while some comparisons and metaphors used may seem exaggerated, keep in mind the Bojan is being dead serious.

Review:

What is the meaning of the word Epic? Epic was the story of Odysseus, Epic were the pyramids, and Epic is the Great Wall. But in the digital age, Epic is Metal Gear Solid 4. This game is a testament of the power of storytelling, and the power of a storyteller.

Hideo Kojima is the Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo of our time. A great artist, thinker, philosopher, and storyteller, with no match in his field to speak off.

For the first time ever, we can say that video games have entered into the world of film and literature, as legitimate forms of art and expression, thanks to this masterpiece.

I of course will not divulge anything about the plot as that would be an act equal to a mortal sin.

But nonetheless, I did not only enjoy this game, enjoy the boss fights, enjoy the eater eggs. But even the few little things that bothered me would get forgotten within seconds because I'd be too drawn into the story, the cutscenes, or the gameplay.

The gameplay is whole new level above the gameplay [and especially camera] of previous MGS's.

Additionally it allows you to skip all cutscenes, and next to an excellent [although team-based] multiplayer, it has so many layers of depth to the gameplay that its replay value is huge. There are tons of hidden items, awards for finishing the game in certain ways, and many other bonuses. I will if and when I can buy a PS3 just so that I can replay this game at least two more times to completely understand everything that happend. Just like I'd watch a great movie more then once.

[Also Andy's upper floor bathroom was getting renovated and there was noise that blocked out some of the lines in cutscenes, and some other distractions.]

The only true complaint I have is that MGS4 is so good that there is no single player game on any console that can even touch it, it's raised the bar so high for pure Epicness that every other game fails in comparison.

There might be people that genuinely don't like it cuz its not their type of game, and I will not pretend to understand them or try and figure out what's wrong with them. :D Although at least they are better then those who blindly follow games that are the equivalent of ants next to titans.

No director in the world could've made what Hideo did, and we won't be seeing a game like MGS4 for a long time.

It is officially my faveourite game of all time.

New Short Film Added!

Hey all it's Bojan here, if you click on the short films tab you'll see one of my short film projects. It was made with film not video...edited in Final Cut Pro...it was the biggest production to date. As we did blocking [actor movement] and pre-lighting for weeks before. On the day of the shoot it took as about 9 hours to finish. We had a large cast of extra's and several actors. We we played some parts ourselves. I'm the gangsta in the shawl, glasses, and blue sweatshirt pretending to rap.....yea I know but it's fucking hilarious.

This film was written, produced, edited, directed etc. By myself, Kyle Bodanis and Jon Neal.

More Shit....

Updated Layout + Jukebox

I don't think I need to post this news...but I guess for the people who aren't so bright...I've updated the layout, so it doesn't take a kajillion seconds to load the images on the site...hopefully this layout is only a temp and I can get a flash version up sometime...

and also a new jukebox...

Edit: Also check out the "Artists and Links" section...there are links to some pretty amazing artwork there.

New KOF Wallpaper...

Spawn Digital Painting + Spawn Sig Because Spawn rules...

yea updated the drawing section with a Spawn digi-paint and the signature section with a spawn sig...

I think that's all...

shit...skipped class again...

Updated Sections...

recently updated the signature section with a 15 minute signature, and the misc. section with an old piece of work I found on my hdd...

anyways enjoy I guess...

New Wallpaper/Digital Painting

yea another digital painting from me...in the form of a wallpaper, this time of Mina Majikina from Samurai Spirits...only she's been made to look evil...

bah...anyways...

Shadow Loremaster

Well here's my third characters the Loremaster, originally he wasn't supposed to look so shady. And the hair was supposed to be like the huntress' hair where its hidden because hes wearing a hood.

But after watching several hours of Naruto the Ninja kickassery rubbed off on my imagination and he gained a mask like Kakashi and I've told the owner of the character that he must never let anyone take down the mask or take it off himself. Of course I also had to give him the obligatory scar over the eye...Cuz even though its an Anime Cliche, its so fucking cool.

This is also the first time I have successfully pulled of the top half of a face. The mask saved me from drawing a mouth and nose. I only drew one eye, the other on is just a mirrored copy....So basically the only work I did was drawing an eye and eyebrow... maybe next time I'll draw half a nose and half a mouth and have a complete face...hmmm

I screwed up on the body I realize that but I don't care enough to fix it.

Andy says that since I finished it in half the time of every other piece or more I think it took me 6 hours. Usually takes me 15-18hours. In a single day. ...where was I. Yea since I finished so quickly I should start working with opacity for shading instead of smudge.....

But I love my smudge...

New Wallpaper Once Again

If you've looked around the site, you might have noticed a new wallpaper from a few days ago...fuck...I hate winter...

anyways enjoy

Rohan Rider

Here is yet another addition to the Fellowship of Vengeance set. The Rohan Rider.

I didn't put a lot of effort into the sword so I have to fix that and I have to fix the colouring of wood for the spear. Everything else i final.

2 down 4 more to go.

New Wallpaper/original/unoriginal artwork

uh...yea new digipainting/wallpaper in the wallpaper section...

Elf Huntress

Ok I'm not gonna go all Oscar Speech here, but I have to thank Andy for the graphics tablet and for his help as well as Idnar for making a kickass tutorial that helped a bit [still not doing everything but it helped.]

This is my first ever photoshop drawing, its for an RPG I'm drawing people's character so they can see what armour, clothing and weapons their characters are wearing so face's don't necessarily matter. And i can't do faces yet.

Anyways I hope you guys like it..it's nothing compared to Andy's stuff and the rest of you more experienced people, but I've been told that for the first piece it's pertty good.

Later

5 more to come.

P.S. I love the smudge tool.

Jason @ JaysonDesigns.net need's your help...

New Half-Life 2 Wallpaper

Actually it's not really a wallpaper it's a digital painting done in widescreen wallpaper resolution

but also a modified version for those of you who don't use widescreen

Why Half-Life? because I want to take a step back from anime...

Some New Sketches

erhm...yea new sketches using the semi-realistic anime style thingy in the drawings section... inspired by iDNAR...look him up...he's an amazing artist.

also provoked to get off my lazy ass and draw by the amazing artists I saw at the FanExpo...

Andy finally did it!!

Well as you can obviously the the website just got a much needed update. Andy finally updated it and it looks great. He also wanted me to tell you to clear your cache or the pages won't look right.

I hope you all like it!


In other news, my Dreadnaught is nearing completion. Andy and I are planning a little animation for you all once I finish this ship and start on a couple more. We'll try and do the best we can but don't expect ILM or Pixar quality because we don't have the million dollar machines to make effects but a program called combustion. As for sound I'll try and dig up some sound effects and music to fit...crap im rambling on again. Well later g2 get back to work on the project.


In further news we'll be getting a paypal donation button thingy so if you're crazy enough...and you think we or rather mostly Andy has done some impressive work and deserves your donations as a commendation for his/our work you can send it in.

I actualy did something...! :D

Well if you check in the WiP section you'll see a brand new spiffy...thing...err yea it looks weird or so I'm told. But it's my attempt at a space battleship. Andy helped me with the texture...I finally know how. So thank you and Andy and thank god for the tool known as "Pwr Boolean". Also 3dsmax didn't crash..for once it must've been my lucky day. Anyways enough of my pointless ranting, go check out the model. Hope you like it.
