Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games has praised the work of Kojima Productions on its recent stealth/action title Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, proclaiming that the Japanese developer is "the best at what they do."
“I’m a huge fan of Kojima,” Bleszinski told website CVG. “The kind of scenes they do in MGS4 are phenomenal. I think it has the best sound and real-time [cut scenes] I've seen in the industry and since they're the best at what they do, players love it.”
“It's the hallmark of the series - the camera angles and dramatic scenes and it's really taking film-making to this new digital level.”
Despite this, he added that 'as a gamer,' he preferred the shorter cut scenes, pointing to Epic Games’ own work as an example.
"In the kind of games we do, the cut scenes are around three to four minutes on average. It just says what needs to be said and moves on to letting you actually play the game,” said Bliszinski.
Bliszinksi isn’t the only one to share positive thoughts on Kojima’s latest entry in the Metal Gear Solid franchise, as you can tell from PSU’s own review, we though it was rather smashing too.

That's right. MGS4 is the BEST!!!
That's right! Bow down to the best! MGS FOREVER! :)
ms4 was hwe best on its first playthrough online was crap so im thinknig of trading in now ready for september
Thank you! But its Funny how he compares cutscenes. If we were to compare stories then the cutscenes, then the length arguement makes much more sense. The people that want or prefer cutscenes wither do not have the mind for a deep story or they just believe that games as a medium should not have stories. Good luck with that.
A great game of the history, and it will beat anything that comes into its path. Good to here that coment from Epic.
Until Cliffy B shows us some love than i couldnt give a F*&% what he says. Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best game ever created.
i really don't care what this Cliffy B(itchboy) says.
So far i've enjoyed MGS4 immensely, its one of the best Video games i've ever played.
The story is Epic, i love how everything ties in together with the previous games in this masterpiece of a game.
Epic should just change their name to CGK (chainsaw gun kill) instead.
I really don't see why there has to be an article on what this guy thinks about a PS3 game. Like he's this supreme developer, dev of devs, or dev of all time, when really he's not.
I would rather here about Kojima's next project.
No one can beat MGS
If you weren't a MG/MGS gamer from the start, then the cutscenes were lost on you. All I have to say is knowing that, I'm deeply grateful Kojima made MGS4 for the fans anyway. He could have just as easily watered it down or dumbed it down for massive appeal, like make it a MGS FPS or something. But he didn't. And for as well as it sold anyway, it probably could have made more money. But Kojima did something that many visionaries fail to do nowadays for the dollar (or because they are controlled): They sold out and betrayed their own vision *ahem*George Lucas*ahem*. So to H. Kojima, thank you. Thank you for not selling out and instead choosing to make a true MGS game. I'm sorry I and other fans couldn't roll out enough money to make it a COD4 or GTA4-type hit, but you had to know that was coming. You know those games were made for the masses and lowest common denomonator-types. And after all, it still sold like gangbusters.
Eh, he's a hypocrite. And I'm surprised he didn't say it was "badass" like he usually does. and also I didn't mind the cutscenes, I enjoyed all of the game
If MS didn't put the hype train on the tracks for GeOW then Cliffy would be a nobody. MGS4 pwns all end of story.
smart guy, very nice he acknowledge MGS4 is a masterpiece! I sure as heck did, unlike any game I experienced before.
mgs4 is miles better than gears 2
its tupid for him to compare the 2 games in CS length...
they are 2 different types of games
One is more focused on the story & the other is more focused on cutting people up with a chainsaw
It's just a matter of opinion if you like long cutscenes or short ones. I prefer the MGS4 style because it gives you a little break. I can eat some food while the cutscenes are going! I am currently playing through the old MGS games starting with MGS1. I forgot how amazing the story was even for that game. These are the best series and I can't wait to see what Hideo does with them in the future (even though they will POSSIBLY be without snake).
i must say mgs4 is by far the best game i have ever played
I don't know why people are talking smack about GOW. It's a great game, and 2 will be better. MGS4 was great too.
didn't he just knock it a few weeks ago? google it. I'm pretty sure he did...
he did. mike expose this flip flop view of MGS4
if he was tal/king shid about mgs4 thats funny. i can imagen how him and his team look at mgs4 and then look at the power of PS3 and if they made there hit game on ps3 they could do 30 times better and more stuff. i bet they make a game for ps3 but about cutscenes 4mins 10 mins why really cares as long as the game play is up to par why care.
This guy a nobody, his game gears of war was such a huge flop all around filled with hype that internet monkeys easily ate up.
MGS4 is one if nt the best game of all time.
dude. he's a little late. i've been praising MGS games since MGS1. MGS4 is epic no doubt about it. halo sucks monkey balls! this had a way better ending than halo will ever dream about. stick to the ps3 like it's white on rice!!!
He probably felt like an idiot after making those comments (probably hadn't even passed the game/or played it) so he took them all back.
Hey thats cool, I hope Epic makes an Ip for PlayStation 3? Speaking of that does anyone know if they are or will?
BEST FREAKING GAME EVER i just cant say it enough. But all I ever here about is the cut scenes. The gameplay is superb as well. Its good sneaking action and the gun play is like it was meant to be that way from the start...amazing game

FIRST HE SAYS"MGS4 IS PAST ENTERTAINMENT"
NOW HE'S SAYING HE LOVES IT???
WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS CAT???
Hey Cliff if you like MGS4 and what it is capable of. Why dont you develop Gears on PS3 and make your games unbeliable aswell. What you see in MGS4 is made possible by the PS3, and Kojima.
@ McMasamune
GOW was terrible, filled with so much motion blur and Anti-Aliasing its ridiculous. I was dizzy everytime i moved my analog stick to throw a grenade. Its like a 5 hour long hackfest spinning in a circle. Terrbile plot. The only beneficial thing was the Multiplayer. And the graphics in GOW2 don't look that great either. CliffyB is just another nobody made famous by microsofts publishing skills. btw UT3 was trash compared to UT2k4
psn id: gingo... i know its opinion but you dont really have a good taste in games if you think MGS4 is below brilliant at all so i am not surprised he will praise it becasue he knows a good game when he sees one
@ bnolan56
Dude The cutscenes in MGS4 was like 15 hours long while the gameplay was only 1 hour and a half...... Come on be serious at least the gameplay in GOW was more interesting AND LOOOONGER!!!! I'll fall asleep during a cutscene in MGS4, wake up and it would still be playing!?!?!?!? It would've been better if the gameplay was longer!
yeah we know now back to ms with you
