After seeing various gameplay demos and other hands-on that have been offered at various game shows, the team behind MGS4 have made it clear that a demo for the highly anticipated game is unlikely.
Ryan Payton, Assistant Producer for Metal Gear Solid 4, was spotted on the NeoGaf forums and he was very candid on the idea of having a MGS 4 demo. Payton told forum members that, "Considering how much we’ve changed since TGS/E for All, it would be a huge undertaking to create a new demo. Sorry guys."
On a bright note, Payton did let fans of the series know that a limited edition could be on the cards, but did not divulge specific details. He went on to say, "On a brighter note, we’re working really hard to solidify plans for a limited edition SKU. Coordinating our ideas with Konami JP, US, and EU is a big challenge, considering the simultaneous worldwide launch, strict retail rules on packaging, etc."
As has been discussed at large already, Metal Gear Solid 4 is supposed to be a "killer app" for 2008 for PS3 owners and Payton is well of that. He let visitors of the forum know that he is well aware of this as he asked them to, "Wish me luck in 2008 as I try to divert attention away from MGS4 being a killer app “weapon” against competitors in our industry, but rather focus on the game being a big step for the game industry as a whole. I hope MGS4 will prove to millions of people that games are to be celebrated, not spat on by politicians and mainstream media."
After the most recent delay a month ago, MGS 4 is set to release some time in the 2nd quarter of 2008.

Next: European PlayStation Store updated With today's US Store update being non-existent (apparently last week's gigantic update was enough to span two weeks), all we've got is the EU Store to look forward to. F... |

I can`t wait to play this game, the longer they take to release it, the better I hope it will be
dont care for a demo...to me demos are a huge tease "if im waiting for the game for a very long time that is"
if 2008 is to be epic....does that mean all calendars will have purple boarders??..
I wonder what it DE's too........... :P
Yes macphisto, 2008 will be big for the ps3. I know the MGS delay is just to make things look better, and a simultaneous release, infact konami will leave a record with this.
Huge fan of the series and no demo just makes me want it more.
i can't wait. i'm deffinetly going to the midnight release 3 hours before it!! i hope they do take there time on it because it's the reason i bought a ps3. metal gear solid 4 is going to be the best. the octo camo will be cool
o yeah,
OHHH limited edition.... Hope it brings all the MGS games with it (lost MGS1)
Don't care for a demo, I already know it'll be good. I'm definately getting the limited edition.
good news i would of liked the a demo just to see how the controls work but i guess its only going to delay the launch even more so just keep working hard on the full game... hope to have a limited edition SKU too.
Maaaan I never played any of the other series and I heard you would be confused as fck if you haven't, and I wanted to get this game because it looks ridiculously kick @s.s
No big deal. I wonder what is going in the Limited Edition that i know i will buy. This is going to well worth the well when it comes out.
psn id: gingo.... a demo isn't needed its going to be a great game and if people need a demo to decide they definetely shouldn't buy it
sh!t i really want this game!!!!!
You guys do realize that this will be the first MG game (excluding PSP titles) since its PS enception to not have a demo? Anyway, I saw somewhere that had the metal gear collection that consisted of all metal gears including mgs4. I don't know if this will only be for the JP as I hope it will indeed arrive on US shores as well.
I hope psn_frov is right. It'd be a huge undertaking but putting the other MGS games on a Blu-ray would be epic.
No demo needed. This game will have no problem selling 1 million on the first day.
Screw demos for games like this. I'm sorry but a demo for Killzone and MGS4 and games of this calibur really aren't needed. Its better to keep people waiting.
Meh it was hoping for a lot but really need to make sure this game is solid.
As soon as the official release date is out i'm going on a week vacation from my job and will be glued to my PS3 plating this game. Wish I had a demo just to get a feel for how the game will play but not too dissapointed about not getting one.
Hate to say it, but Mr. All Caps above me is right. None of the story is ruined, you can feel the game, and get a high-def MGS fix for a while.
