Is this confirmed to be true? TTP already said he didn't recall a cutscene that was nearly 90 minutes long, let alone two of them.

I don't think it means 90mins solid cutscene. In MGS2 there were places where there was 1 hour codec and cutscene with just 2 mins of gameplay. Could be the same here.

damn reviewers are pathetic all those 10 for Halo and GTA talk about money hats

Or maybe it's just their opinions. Halo 3 wasn't close to being the highest reviewed game last year, so what's the point of throwing that one in. And MGS is a harder series to get into when compared to GTA, so maybe that's why GTA was scored hinger.

Pity its getting the same scores as MGS3.

I guess the hype for this game also came from the gameplay footage that promised a more accessible game for a casual audience.

I trust Edge, I'd also give MGS3 a 8-8.5 personally. All discreditng them are now just being fanboys - they do hit the spot right on.

Looks like kojipro might've messed up in trying to put soo much stuff in the game (shoulder cam, FPS view, traditonal top-down) something was bound to go wrong. Also as Eurogamer mentioned the loading time/installation time could be a real issue.

All in all, I know this game will satisfy me in regardless of a clunkfest it may be. But I honestly thought they'd iron out some of the problems.

I'm guessing if GregK was still around Gamespot it would've gotten something between 8.5-9.0

No, that's something that has been commended in all the reviews. The different control schemes work well.

This basically seems to being reviewed like MGS3 was. Fans of the series love it to death, others like it and then some hate it. Although it looks like this one will be able to swing some people since the gameplay is apparently really high quality.

At the end of the day though it's Metal Gear. And if you've ever played one before you probably already know what your stance will be on it after playing it.

Because Halo 3 got a 10 and was awarded the most innovative game of the year award.

Even though I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in this new Metal Gear Solid game, I have to post to give kudos to the biggest, most detailed and far and away the most impressive Official Thread first (39) posts in the history of mankind, ever. Well done! You have put a lot of work in it.

It almost had me hyped at one point, such is its amazing power. :O

On the podcast Ryan says not to bring the NES version of Metal Gear or Snake's Revenge for Kojima to sign unless you want to upset him.

From who Edge? Even then, if they were money hatted wouldn't it get GotY instead of SMG?

From Edge. Maybe that $800 duffel bag wasn't enough to buy them the game of the year award so they settled for most innovate game of the year award.

Metal Gear 4 will be released after the European Tour on June 12 so we won't be able to bring our Mgs4 copy :/

I guess they'll have different rules as to what they'll sign and for how many people at each event.

This is what Eurogamer wrote about the London event:
...and in the absence of boxed copies of the game will be signing HMV-exclusive game sleeves.

The duo will be there at 12 noon, but the organisers note that "access to meet Mr. Kojima and Mr. Shinkawa will be strictly limited", so "300 sleeves will be available from the store on the day of the event from 9.00am", and only people with sleeves will be allowed to queue. You can have a sleeve if you pre-order the game at HMV, which involves a GBP 5 deposit.

Yes! In the latest podcast, Payton mentions those MGS4 shirts are coming out June 12th along with the game at Uniqlo, and guess what? One of the only Uniqlo in the US is in NY in SoHo, which I visited with my friend just two days ago. Some of those shirts will be mine!

God, I love living in NY. :D

EDIT: Oh wow, Kojima will be both at Virgin and Uniqlo. Didn't notice he was going to be at Uniqlo. :O

I love long cutscenes and codec convos. The key is to sandwich lots of gameplay between them. MGS2 failed in this regard, but I think this game will get it right.

MGS3 had a great amount of gameplay, and it was weird how the game started and finished so theatrically, with so much exposition , and between that was an epic journey with minimal interruption (by MGS standards). I think MGS4 is going to have a very different rhythm but be similarly stacked full of GAME.

The real hilarity will ensue when the EGM scores hit. I wonder if Parish still feels that the NPC models in Halo 3 are better. Fortunatly by the time that hits we will already have the game :)

No.......He actually did say that......

I believe he tried to reason by saying that the MGS4 ones were too close to the uncanny valley. God I wish I still had the episode number...It was one of the couple eps he was actually on.

no, because he got to play it beforehand, so he doesn't want to affect the score.

He can't because he attended the Konami event.

oh, for sure. It'd definitely be cool to have a GAF meetup in SF. We could swap PSN IDs and everything (or should I say, MGO character names? lol D:)

I wonder if there'll be a line and stuff to wait in like... early in the day or something (oh, and I do hope they make use of the IMAX theater in some way, that'd be freaking sweet; probably won't though).
