General gaming news

I knew this 90 minute shit would spill onto here. Look, find me a semi-reliable source that says there will be a cutscene with a legnth of 90 minutes and I'll believe it.

Kotaku never fails to live up to its reputation.

Oh I can read and understand pefectly fine, is just more fun to be:

just a fag who cry/man the harpoons if Deejay dares speak bad about MGS.

so yeah \:D/ .
Oh and I'm not a cool guy just a MGS fanboy.

Is 90 minutes an exaggeration of cutsene? sure, but I been wanting this game for what? 2+ years. At this point anything is welcome 8)

I was looking at the ebgames.com website and noticed that they actually listed "Sony Playstation 3 (80 Gig) with Metal Gear Solid 4" as an option for PS3 systems, currently labeled as pre-order. Clicking the link takes you to a bad URL though, so idk if someone just jumped the gun or if it was a mistake, but I know that it wasn't listed there a few days ago.

Probably because of how their system works, but then again I dont work there so it could mean anything >.>.

[Xavier]

Its already gone from the listings, rofl.

Must be the Patriots preventing you from learning the truth! ;o

Except that Kotaku didn't report it. PSW magazine did.

Hit the jump for more details!

I should add my stance, since it seems confusing. I welcome 90 minute CSs, I wouldn't mind them at all. I just don't want them to come up on me unexpectedly. I'd like to know before I'm presented with an hour and a half time-sink. Does anyone find it vaguely ironic that people are complaining about wasting an hour and a half on an FFXI board?

My MGS schedule will go

Watch 15 minutes, pause
tell baby to get the hell away from TV
Watch 15 seconds, pause
Momma comes in the room to bitch about me punishing baby
watch 15 minutes, pause
feed baby
watch 15 minutes, pause
put baby to bed
finish movie >.>

That sounds quite similar to what I will be doing:

Watch 20 minutes (just cause), pause
Explain to 4 yr. old daughter what that guy is doing.
Watch 20 minutes (just cause), pause
Explain to 4 yr. old daughter that "no, he is not a bad guy"
Watch 20 minutes (just cause), pause
Explain to 4 yr. old daughter that "you can't just 'boom' any random person"
Watch 20 minutes (just cause), pause
...
Watch last 10 minutes
Ask 4 yr. old daughter if she has any idea what just happened, cause my MIND IS BLOWN!

I welcome the CS's... 3mins, 15mins, 45mins, 90mins. I am not in the least bit surprised. Can't wait!

Nowhere in the page you just link mentions a 90 minute cutscene.

But here's the page Kotaku linked:

The news comes from PSW magazine, who's been and finished MGS4, and then promptly whispered in our ears about the shocking 90-minute cut-scenes. The latest issue hits newsstands today, by the way.

Wow, this sounds really reliable. God whispers into my ears too.

For all the shit this nobody-website rumor is getting I'd like to see just a little more evidence. If the magazine is out now maybe a page scan wouldn't be too hard?

It's a British mag, good luck finding scans >.>
But their parent company reports it as fact, so......

[Natallon]

i dont mean to cause conflict but apparently another reviewer says its false.. lol

"I've beat the game twice, and am the author of the forthcoming [GamePro] review," Shuman said. "Ninety-minute-long cinemas in MGS4 sounds like an exaggeration. Like the other MGS games, MGS4 definitely has a cinematic quality. And yes, some of the cut-scenes in the game are elaborate and occasionally lengthy. But not a one, to my recollection, even approaches 90 minutes."

[Xavier]

The plot thickens.

I'm curious as to whether these guys actually timed the cut scenes at all. The GamePro comment is terribly vague on any actual length, only saying that 90 minutes was an exaggeration but that there are lengthy videos.

Ooh ooh, Online blog vs Newsprint media. I love these fights! Especially entertaining hearing blogs vs newspapers.

What?

As for the veracity of the information, I'm compelled to believe the guys behind PC Gamer, its in the genes :/

[Doombear]

FYI: Now apparently Circuit City is taking pre-orders for MGS4 bundles.

[Tyche]

Toys R Us has their shit out on the day of release don't they? They aren't like Wal-Mart where they may not have a game on shelves until 4 days after release >.>

Well, it's just... you posted the article that I quoted as being bull lol.

Also, yeah, it's likely fake. Since no other reviewer has ever brought this up(not even the magazine itself?) and I take that as being more likely than some "whisper".

Go in the week before release. Most things my store gets we get a day in advance. Reason why i say to go in a day before is theres always a chance some moron working there throws the stuff in the "in" pile along with Disney movies, Pokemon cards and various other crap and your Rzone associate wont know its back there until its too late
