Before you enter the Metal Gear Solid Database the trademark alert sound plays with a spoiler warning. You can opt to cover information revealed in Metal Gear Solid 4 until you have a completed file or you can view the text at your own risk. After you make your choice you arrive at the menu above. Let’s take a look at the encyclopedia first.

Macrophages are in the encyclopedia! The database also includes six languages: English, Japanese, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Brilliant!

It is really good but i cant access some information cos itll contain spoilers but ive finshed MGS4 and its still saying i havent
Very annoying
fuzzball5: I think the regions must match. You’ll likely need a Japanese MGS4 clear file for the Japanese database to recognize it.
My memory of everything is still pretty fresh since I just finished all 3 games recently (MGS3’s ending was so touching), but a free encyclopedia for such a complex saga is always welcome.
I can’t wait to play more of MGS4 to see how everything wraps up, just started Act 2 last night. Definitely not good at shoot-outs, tranquilizer gun and Militia camo are my best friend.
