popisdead uk Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Wait, what happened to the whole 1/3 cut scenes, 2/3's gameplay :blink: For that reason I don't believe its 90+ minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Do I wait until my birthday (July 1) for this, or pre-order it now? I already have so many games to finish. I can't decide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauguu Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Im just hoping the 90 minute cutscene isnt a codec conversation, still CANT wait for MGS 4 I don't think that a codec conversation is counting for a cutscene... but yes, let's hope not..

Keito Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Just pre-ordered the Limited Edition of which there are only 50 copies in the Netherlands as far as I know - the retailer at least says so :D Really psyched about the figurine and the making of (I collect figurines :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted May 23, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 23, 2008 Also, MGS4 is gonna have a 4.6GB Install. But that shouldn't come as a surprise really.http://kotaku.com/5010647/metal-gear-solid...gb-installation While I would complain about having to install, I don't think its that bad considering its supposedly taking up a 50gb disk. What I would like about installing is if they could do it while playing, then I wouldn't care as much as having to sit through a stupid screen for a few mins. Wait, what happened to the whole 1/3 cut scenes, 2/3's gameplay :blink: Nothing? This is one 90+ minute cutscene, and the guy said it took about 29ish hours to complete the game. So there are still plenty of other cutscenes in the game to watch besides this one long one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY:G Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 wow im glad i didnt buy the 20 gb PS3, right about now i would be running out of space, with GTA, Dmc 4, now MGS 4 + Demos + trailers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, here's my solution;Seeing that there's a lot of cutscene in MGS4 and I expect the 90 minute one to be either at the beginning or end, you can pop in the disk, head off to make/buy popcorn, return to your gaming area with the popcorn and start playing, then when a cutscene starts the popcorn is already near you - win-win-win! ("popcorn" can be exchanged with probably any other food of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keito Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 wtf? This one cut scene is 90 minutes long? :|Correct. That's the awesome part. And when that's done, you have approximately 500-510 minutes of cutscenes yet to come.I'm blatantly assuming 30 hours of gameplay here for good measure and using the 2/3 gameplay to 1/3 cutscene ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it can be paused (Y) While I have no issue with long cutscenes, and actually love them, I may need to go pee with excitement during one :laugh: Or if the 90 minute cutscene pops up at 4am, when you promised yourself you would go to bed in 5-10 mins :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY:G Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Its a movie itself, 1 hour and 30 minutes, i wish i knew before hand what scene it is, so that i can kick back(put the controller down) with some popcorn and relax while i watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted May 23, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think it's becoming more and more obvious why Kojima's claims of a 50GB disc may indeed be fact! Full length movies within a game :rofl: I wonder if some of these cutscenes, seeing as they are so long, may indeed be actual video, instead of just in-game graphics. I mean the transitions between cutscenes and in-game look awesome, but if you're kicking back for 90mins and there's NO interaction, you could do other things? That's one thing to ponder, I wonder if there is ANY form of interaction during these 90minutes? Even if it's just tilting the camera, or even moving around? We already know there is interaction during the mission briefings - Mini-games, moving the MK2 around, ect. We'll see :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted May 23, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 23, 2008 Kojima signing at HMV in JuneScribbling signatures on HMV-exclusive pre-release MGS4 sleeves On June 2 Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima will be signing pre-release box sleeves for Metal Gear Solid 4 at HMV on Oxford Street, London. Joined by the game's artist, Yoji Shinagawa, Kojima will turn up from 12pm midday to scribble on sleeves from inside the game's disc cover - more than a week before the game goes on shelves. Whoever organised the appearance should look at his or her diary closer. The catch? There'll only be 300 sleeves given out - from 9am that day - and to get one you'll have to place a ?5 pre-order on the game (and scrape your tired face off your bed pillow REALLY early, too). We guess you'll have a fair bit of queuing to do as well, but that's not a bad deal. Mike Jackson Source: CVG> Always frickin' London:(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookie Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Christ. 90 mins? I want a game not a ****ing movie. Bloody hell and I though MGS cut scenes were dire. I'm in for a hell of a treat. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted May 23, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted May 23, 2008 Someone is saying otherwise on the 90mins thing, From CVG today comes a pretty wild rumor about Metal Gear Solid 4: the penultimate title in the Solid Snake series will feature rather lengthy cutscenes.How lengthy? Try 90 minutes. And that's not 90-minutes in total, that's a 90-minute cutscene. Trouble is, it's not entirely accurate. Will MSG4 have lengthy cutscenes, like the 45-minute one in MGS2? Yes, says GamePro's own Sid Shuman, but nowhere near 90 minutes. "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. "I think it's safe to say that the '90 minutes cinemas' claim is a pretty big exaggeration," he told GamePro News. Source: http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=187049 I guess we'll know for sure soon enough... Maybe it's 85 mins :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY:G Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Ahh i knew not even Kojima had the balls to do that in a game, it completely goes against the definition of a game. Definition of game:Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interactivity. I was pretty excited to see it happen but i knew it was too good to be true.

American Ninja Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hideo Kojima signing MGS4 at Virgin MegaStore in Times Square June 11 NeoGAF poster Ephemeris snapped the photo above showing that Metal Gear Solid 4 auteur Hideo Kojima will be at the Virgin MegaStore in Times Square NYC on June 11, signing copies of the game for a midnight launch. We contacted the Virgin MegaStore's games department this morning just to confirm. The conversation went like this: "Hi, I just wanted to confirm Hideo Kojima would be signing copies of Metal Gear Solid 4 at the store on June 11?" "Who?" The clerk sounded half-asleep. "Hi-de-o Ko-ji-ma, Metal Gear Solid 4, in store June 11?" "Um, yeah, we're doin' that. Sure." We're just curious to see if Kojima does a mega-signing in Japan for the opening there and then bends time backwards (by crossing the date line) to get to New York. That would be hardcore.
