TV Ad - Praying Mantis - METAL GEAR SOLID 4

[sicknickmondo16]

they should use this type of animation if they make a mgs movie like for all the machines and the metal gears that would be awesome

[indycolts4]

Fun Fact: Narrator also plays Devin Mallory in Skyrim. Theives Guild anyone?

[N0hN4me]

@indycolts4 I think he's also the third male voice preset in Saints Row The Third.

[92ladderley]

@indycolts4 Yeah I was saying the same thing a few days ago when I dusted off my copy went for another play through.

[Granitelol]

I love this ad!

[faller006]

metal gear solid series are the best movies ever

[GhostEye187]

"Praying Mantis *UNMANNED* Surveillance Systems"

Yeah well of course, then again The Beauty and Beast units are UNMANNED if you get what I mean.

[RRVCrinale]

How can I argue with Jason Statham?

[Donnelly182]

@RRVCrinale

From a distance?

[Shadowfang3000]

*MEANWHILE, IN ENGLAND*

Aww f*ck, Giant Mantis!

[Onslaughtlol]

Heh...from the looks of it, this Praying Mantis system causes more damage than the biker... :P Doesn't matter what the biker have done, the machine still destroys whatever it touches..

[louie540x]

@Onslaughtlol

Lol I know it's like, sheesh just let him go. Whatever it was that he did probably pales in comparison to all the damage this giant insect did running down the street.

[95rollin1]

so in this world kids say they wanna be a private military contractor when they grow up?

[Soulless99]

@95rollin1

Pretty much.

Or if theyr more EMO, theyll go "I wanna find MY reason to fight"

[Yora21]

The real point of the TV ads in the beginning is to show what a huge mind fuck this series is. ^^

[l3awl3ag]

@Yora21 Lol nah I think it does a pretty good job of setting the scene. Not that I'm saying this series isn't a total mind fuck. Because it most certainly is.

But without these adverts I would never have gotten the full picture. You know the world has gone to shit when PMCs are allowed to advertise drones on primetime TV. Christ if PMCs ever get to advertise on TV AT ALL the world has gone to shit, never mind advertising weapons lol.

[Willindor]

Stig is dead.

Stig? STIG?! STIIIIIIIIIIG!!!!!

[neKieW]

I've never get so emotional over a game before..the only game that has a fourth wall.Simply genius!

[TheKatamariguy]

english accent FAIL

[DogsAreCoolRight]

@TheKatamariguy It's called Australia

[juicedup14]

reminds me of the A.I. bosses from peace walker just upgraded

[formatR]

@viewer1112 1 Million Thumbs UP UP UP

[pepmiman]

"Wakey, wakey", lol : D

[Smeagol161]

best advert in metal gear

[Bluffeddood]

yah

[CanderousXOrdo]

well actually he says " A sense of duty when the risks run high"

[foxhounder28]

lol "its a sense of duty" not juvey

[fallen40000]

It says: I spy with my eye then what? I make some things but Im not sure that thats what its saying.

Can an american or english guy plz wright those words down for me?

Thank you :)

[molrodoo]

I'm sure its...

"I spy with my little eye, a thing that goes bump in the night nearby, a sense of duty when risks run high, this scum wishes they didn't try, wakey wakey, praying mantis, unmaned surveilance systems"

[zitted]

I SPY WIF MY LITTLE EYE!

[thenenote]

It should be a ad 4 mgs4 in TV...

[Tyrannohamstersaurus]

Well, time hasn't ended yet. You can't really say what games are even in the running for "best of all time" until the world ends.

[JTR679]

Wow tyranno, you're kind of a faggot.

[Grofgy]

this private military company must be based in the UK

[mitch5771]

i got a vid out now with mt praying mantis uniform

[Moderm101]

Raven Sword are my Favs!

Cos they got all the wikd Body armour like that rlly cool Flak jacket and the leg protectors and the shin pads!

They ROCK!

[Kirbymike11]

What the HELL is that thing?

A gecko?

A metal Gear?

A clever visual metaphor?

[Moderm101]

Its a Mantis

[AnyaInWonderland]

a security system of the near future

duh

[CyborgGogetenks]

It's the full ad, maybe a second or two is missing from it. But it's 99 1/2% complete lol

[PokemonShine]

Nice but how do you get rid of that to play that game?

[dahsif]

It IS the game.

Your character is the biker and you've been spotted by that huge prayin mantis.

Basically you're fucked!

[cheekyass123]

whats this have to do anything with MGS4?

[RUSS1AN]

if u had MGS4 u would know...anyways it's at the beginning of the game...u can actually change channels and watch other stuff...

[SpartanG062]

1. Praying Mantis is a PMC in MGS4

2. The point of all this T.V. in the beggining is to show how much war has become a part of society.

[Moderm101]

Well said u abserlute badass :)

[CyborgGogetenks]

"I spy with my little eye, the thing that goes bump in the night near by, a sense of duty when risks run high, the scum who wishes they didn't try. Wakey wakey! Praying Mantis Unmanned Survailance Systems"

I've got the game myself and they have the english subs in it, this is my favorite of the five PMC ad's

[WARP10CK]

Watching this in HD is awsome

[deathscythehellfunk]

My favorite as well, Praying Mantis rocks.

[Kaizen63]

My neices kept begging me to turn off the game when this scene came on! LOL

[WARP10CK]

You should by them a real praying mantis for xmas man those things are creepy as hell.

[zersockpuppet]

So Mantis is a British PMC, Werewolf and Raven are American, Octopus is French, and Ocelot is Russian?

[nikkoruchan]

Yep, you got it.

[TheRussianGestapo]

I'd say he sounds more Bob Hoskins than Michael Caine.

[POLE7645]

According to IMDB, this is Enn Reitel (he did many voiceovers in video games and animation features like Corpsebride). And, he's Scottish.

[TheRussianGestapo]

Oh, well you learn something new every day. Thanks very much!

[batoneta]

re malakismena ti sxesh exei auto me to metal gear solid 4?????????

den drebestai ligo???????

[JSC3]

who is this praying mantis

[BlueVane]

One of the PMCs in MGS4.

[biakuya]

this isnt Michael Cane... at least i don't think so.

[dantemaycry89]

Omg! Michael Cane! lol! Just one more reason why MGS4 is gonna be the greatest game is the history of games!

[hinatafanboi]

man i love this commercial, but the guys voice kinda creeps me out... XD

[FrigidDeath]

Well, he IS English.

[Xezatt]

how much money they spent in making all these ads in the game

[Hitamaru]

probably like 150K. Stuff like this is pretty cheap nowa days

[ChrisspacePatti]

This one was cut short like the Raven Sword one.

[PolarisCZ]

Can anyone please post transcript of this video. I can't hear what he's saying, music is too loud.

[Francisco450]

I spy with my little eye,

a thing that goes: bump.

In the night nearby, (<-- not sure...)

A sence of duty,

when the risks run high.

A (?????) wishes they didnt try,

wakey, wakey

Praying Mantis: Unmanned Survailance Systems

[PolarisCZ]

Thanks pal!

[Hitamaru]

it's a night nerby.

[TWOC2689]

The ????? is Scum

[MGSnDMC]

This is my most favorite the british voice over makes it even more awesome!!

[StripedTiger711]

That reminds me of the Cloverfield monster.

[breakdown2218]

MICHAEL CAINE + MGS4 = WIN

[albertdemorcef]

Praying mantis: british pmc

Pieuvre Armement: smp Française

Raven Sword: US pmc

Werewolf: US pmc

оцелотовая хватка: Russian pmc

Mes préférées sont Pieuvre Armement et Praying Mantis :P

[clank98]

The ominous Cockney announcer practically makes this.

[kazek44]

After watching all this ads i can't imagine what 's going be MGS4 Intro made by Logan studio O_O

[albertdemorcef]

La classe.

[SonsOfBigBoss]

By the way, does anyone know if you'll be seeing these ads in the game itself? like on a tv screen or something? I know there are radio ads for praying mantis in the mid east region, but any ideas on visual in game ads?

[jdnation]

Supposedly you see them and other crazy shit in the Game's startup intro movie which is being made by marketing studio LOGAN. These are teh same guys responsible for al the dancing black iPOD commercials, no wonder there's an iPOD in MGS4! ;)

[tinyraskalG]

there probably gonna make a isnake or isolid lol

[SonsOfBigBoss]

LOL, thats one creepy fucked up ad. If thats "Security" FUCK THE SYSTEM! GO SNAKE!

[DevilHunter76]

Fight the power!

[Denji2006]

I knew about the PMC commercials before. But I was expecting in game models being used. Interesting..

[PastShadow]

This one is my personal favorite of the PMC ads. I love that voice.

[gizelbelcoot]

If only this type of budget and execution konami will do in MGS movie , i am happy.

[yuyuzja]

I like this one the most.

[fartybumholes]

Awesome, love the English (British) voiceover.

[vectorboy101]

this rules
