Everyone knows how Konami puts these movies together, especially the ones for their Metal Gear Solid series. They've just released another one to promote the new Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for GameCube, and somehow, defying all logic, this trailer clocks in at an astounding twenty-seven minutes long.
Basically, the movie tells the entire Twin Snakes story in cut-scene form, so if you haven't played the original or don't really know what the story of the game is all about, then by all means, don't watch this movie, as it'll completely ruin the plotline for you. Of course, since this is a remake of the original game, we sort of already know how it all fleshes out in the end, so it's really more eye candy then a spoiler-fest for those who do decide to look at it. All of the voice is in English, so you won't have any problems understanding what's going on.
You can jump to Konami Japan's MGS site, then hit the first link for the streaming video. Be warned, though, you're going to need a rather fat pipe to get the stream smoothly. There's also a "smaller" 14-minute version of the trailer, but if you have the bandwidth for the smaller one, you can probably catch the big one without many problems. It's likely that you'll get some busy server error messages while you try to get these, but keep trying and you'll eventually get in.

Additionally, I'm willing to make a smaller, lower quality version. Reply here if interested.

Do a google search to see what it's about if you don't already know.

Btw...when I finally am able to connect all I get is sound with an image in place of the Video. Is it just an Audio Movie?

mplayer mms://wm1.streaming.ne.jp/konami/mgs_tts_27min_j.wmv -dumpstream
By default it writes the a/v stream to a file called stream.dump. And probably I should have gone for the bittorrent option...

Although the lip syncing seemed a bit off...Hopefully it's just the movie (shot at 30 fps) and the fact that the game runs at 60 fps...or they could just be using the same old technology as in MGS2. I've never played it but it looked quite similar to what I saw in MGS2. Shame, really...all that high-poly, nice bump-mapped stuff, awesome animation...and then this crappy lip syncing.
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes + 100 000 000 to hype meter
