In 2008, Kojima Productions released Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, a title intended to conclude Hideo Kojima's acclaimed series. The game focused on an aging Solid Snake's race against time to thwart his nemesis, Liquid Snake, amidst a complex narrative involving numerous returning characters.
Guns of the Patriots garnered praise for its storytelling, cinematic presentation, and advancements in stealth gameplay, particularly the OctoCamo suit that allowed Snake to blend into his surroundings. The game also received a rare perfect 10/10 review score from Game Informer.
Game Informer is now revisiting the title through a "Super Replay" series, leveraging the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 for accessibility on modern platforms. Long-time series fan Marcus Stewart is guiding newcomer Charles Harte through the game, marking Stewart's first playthrough in over a decade and Harte's first-ever experience with MGS 4.
Episodes of the playthrough are being streamed live on Twitch and YouTube at 12 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET each week, with each installment lasting two hours until the game's conclusion. Viewers unable to watch the live streams can find archived episodes on Game Informer's YouTube channel.
