first

Check your "Sources" a bit closely next time..Gamespot's MGS4 CES '08 video clearly states that the demo is new !!

1080p support.. thats what I was looking for :P Veeery nice

wow nothing new that i didnt know about. just wasted 1 minute reading what we all ready know.

i hope something concrete comes during GDC.  nah who am i kidding, they'll allways tell us one thing then delay the game half a year more.

Nice a late february annoucement around the GDC time of course the xbox360 fans and owners will suspect a release of mgs4 for the 360 its going to be annoying folks so lets brace ourselves for more,more,more, and more of them saying this all over again.

I hope the annoucement is something that will be like using the psp to control mkII now that would be neat or maybe a mgs4 accessory stand that allows the psp to be propped up so that gamers could see what the mkII sees while controlling it with a ps3 controller. But i know the annoucement would probably be the release date and many more.

darkninja ur an idiot. I played this at E For All already! Old news! Hehe

darkNinja86: Shut up and say something worthwhile about the damn article.  You waste bandwidth and hard drive space.

---

Everything here was already said except the announcement date in Feb.  If it's not a release date, then they should say the PSP can control MKII, like what was mentioned over a year ago.  Hopefully it isn't something stupid.

I dont care about the frames thing i just need to play the game. I hope they will release by february. Cant wait.

Punisher99 is right - this is a very big property and Konami will want to make as much income as possible from it.

If Halo 3 can sell 8 million copies in six months then Konami will want 10 million units sold of Metal Gear Solid 4 over the same period. That's fair enough considering that it is PS3's flagship title.

Id be keen to know how well Assasins Creed has sold on Xbox 360 compared with PS3. This title was more or less pushed as a PS3 lead up until final release when it was opened up to both platforms. If it fails on Xbox360 that might give more reason for publishers to return to Playstation. Anyone know the figures?

MGS & Final Fantasy are the biggest hitters that are still exclusive. Again the best thing that could happen is for these titles to set record sales whilst DMC4, and GTA4 to fail across all platforms.

well, according to VG charts 360 is currently at 2.53m

and Ps3 is at 1.63m. World wide numbers

Learn to type better...:)

Thanks Tab. I would have thought it would be the other way around and have done a lot better on PS3.

Assasins Creed was one of the big releases on PS3 with little competition, where as it was one of many titles being releases on Xbox 360.

psn id: gingo... i'm sure Konami will get the framerate stabilised by the final version and i really want to play this demo, even though we have been told there is not oging to be one i wish they would surprise us one week

Go here, and watch the video. It's a different demo. As for them releasing a demo, I'm not too worried. I'm getting the game no matter what. I just want them to release the game! Too many are getting pushed back. (MGS4, BIA HH, GTA4, Army of Two)

Not much interesting info there, aw well. Come Febuary we might hear some more.

The Cleaner- I would have thought it would be the other way around and have done a lot better on PS3.


Thats one thing you can defiantly say about xbox owners "they buy everything."

360 has record-setting games and accessory attach rates. The software attach rate for the 360 is something like 6.9 (very high)

I myself own over 14 games for my 360.(not counting xbox live arcade games)

Sony doesn't really talk about there attach rate as its not that high right now. Nintendo's attach rate is even worse, around 1.4 I hear. Even the 360 accessory attach rate is over 3.

PS3 owners really need to start buying games.

This is probably one of the most if not the most antisicipated game of all time

Dave-the-rave, instead, therelease of MGS4 will lead to greater sales of the ps3 console. This game will be great and will certainly be a killer app.

so in febuary we should here the real date fromkojimasan himself. hopefully he says march 22 or some where in between that date. i am buying a router so i can go online to play MGO 2 . going to see if i can get it this friday and my friend and i are going to set it up. oh and this article seemed pointless to even have but, was glad to have known at the end of febuary kojima san is going to tell us something

I can't wait for this game!!!!!!!!!

Any news on mgs4 is worth knowing about, no matter how small it is, cuz its simply THE best gaming franchise ever.

well i hope this game is going to live up to the hype cuz its going to sell alot of ps3

Tab & DaveW

Then from what you guys are saying that must pose an interesting problem for Konami...

Lets say MGS 4 has 3 x more attraction than Assassins Creed... that means they would sell around 4.8 million copies. If they released it on Xbox 360 then they would sell over 8 million copies. But if it was released on both consoles they would sell more than 13 million copies! That would be better for Konami.

Would anyone NOT buy MGS4 if it was released across both platforms... in truth we would complain, but still run out and buy it...

Selling 12 or 13 million is probably possible (Halo 3 did 8 million on one platform in 6 months...) so the question is: should Sony pay compensation to Konami to keep it exclusive? Maybe give them $150 million?

Probably the estimated date near it going gold fo sho. As long as I play a finished and more so SOLID game then I am good. :)

The best game of 2008.

MGS4 goty of 2008.

this is geting better and better
