A rumor was flying around the internet that MGS4 would have 90 minute cut-scenes. Well a Gamepro editor says this rumor is false.
"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."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.
Totally ridiculous comment.
The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.
Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.
Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.
And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.
You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.
Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.
"Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox."
Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.
Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.
They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.
At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.
Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.
Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
lol i was already getting my pop corn ready. Fanboys will do anything to try to drag this game down. At least they still have the 4.6GB to whine about
I really don't mind long cut scenes. MGS series have the best cut scenes and i enjoy watching them just as much as i love playing. I actually don't remember any long cut scenes in the previous series because i was consistently entertained. I never felt the need to skip it or anything like that
Well MS ---your efforts to HALT MGS4 juggernaut withered away like the petals of a dry rose
Nothing saves the x360 from complete DESTRUCTION on JUNE 12th 2008
Cry Billy Cry
cuz nothing prevents the x360 from DEATH on 12th JUNE, 2008
**i am posting this news at other forums too

@vega
GT5P killed x360 in europe. You wll never find x360 HW /SW in any eu charts except UK. even in UK PS3 is just 500k shy off x360's total base.
GT5P has outsold Halo3/GEARS/any x360 game in europe within 1 month of its release there.
GT5P and GTA4 killed x360 in europe.
MGS4 will make it worldwide.
HAZE and MGS4 are not the same thing
However HAZE and GAYLO3 at 640p are the same thing --both are crap
BTW Mass effect and Bioshock are both on PS3 too so what remains for x360??

@tard below
delete demos
X360 arcade doesnt even have an HDD
x360 premium has just 20 gig HDDD haahha.
since all of PS3 skus have HDD by default we can install /uininstall games as many times as we wish. Unlike GARBAGE BOX 360 games PS3 games dont have POP INS/LONG LOADING TIMES/SCREEN TEARING and not to mention no x360 game runs at 60 fps SOLID
On the other hand we have 5 games that not only runs at 1080p native but at SOLID 60fps
NGS,RR7,WARDEVIl,GT5p<WIPE OUT HD all run at 1080p native at 60 fps
we have 28 other games which run at 1080p native rez
We didnt just get Bioshock
We got Oblivion/mass effect/lost planet/dead rising too
as for GTA4 it did what it was supposed to do for PS3.
move HW. GTA4 didnt move any HW for either console in US but it moved HW BUT JUST for PS3 in europe
from June 12th 2008 ---the BOT force will be totally silent
death will rule upon XFIX ME
@vega
we can upgrade our HDD too.
Too bad u arestuck with a garbage 120 gig MS HDD for 179$$
the Blu Ray drive in PS3 ALONE is worth more than x360
I'm actually DISAPPOINTED that there isn't such a Cut Scene.
Yeah it IS a pretty ridiculous rumor to begin with. Non of the previous MGS games cut-scenes were THAT long. Although I am interested if they took out the codec conversations or maybe if they just made it into a in game cutscene, I haven't seen a screen shot of it anywhere.
That's CVG for you. They exaggerate (lie), twist words to make a bigger deal of something than it actually is and take things way out of context. They did it with the dlc for GTA and now they are doing it with MGS.
Regardless, I wouldn't have minded 90 minute cutscenes provided it was a mindblowing experience (which every MG game is).
