If Metal Gear Solid 4 stinks, guards will detect the PS3 game, er, Snake
Let me explain that one. Hideo Kojima has revealed new Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots gameplay info in the first in-game demonstration held in Tokyo, Japan, this week. In it he shows Snake has some new tricks in his arsenal. But first let’s explain the headline: In the PS3-exclusive game a sense of smell comes into play, if Snake hides in a garbage bin, he starts to stink bad, which guards can detect “!”
When confronting enemies, he now has the ability to take away their weapons during hold-ups, which are more convincing than before. He pats them down to check for items and take their gun before knocking them out.
As you saw in the trailer, Snake has Octo-cam technology in his suit that allows him to blend in with background scenery, seamlessly changing color as he presses against surfaces. He now also has a new electrical knife to stun enemies.
Lastly Famitsu reports, and CVG translates, that aside from a first-person view mode, the game will also allow you to view the action from an over-the-shoulder camera. Sadly no gameplay video of MGS4 was released online.

Yeah, This feature got me amazed at how realistic the game was going to be..
I just hope I dont sit prone in one place for an hour or so with fear of detection
