The higher-ups

Below the belt?
Pedophilia is one of the worst depravities of human nature even though some would argue it's an illness. The question is, do we really need reference to it in video games - would GTA IV be regarded any lesser if it didn't have this reference?

Are R* sticking the proverbial two fingers up at the campaigners out there? View

What an ass
Complete double standards and a lack of understanding of the games industry.

I'm reading between the lines here - he wanted more $$$ but wasn't given. View

It's only been out 1 day!
This is kinda lighthearted rather than all the serious banter about the game. View

Not even going to read this
The title alone says it all. Kids should not be allowed to play this game. There's too much swearing for starters and kids will mimic this language. No wonder kids these days are little ****s if parents think it's ok for them to play more adult games.

Kids will have their time to play these games WHEN THEY ARE OLDER! View

As expected
This game looks nice and plays pretty decent - I agree the animations are a little dated and on the slow side but you get used to it. I think new players need to get to grips with all the moves before attempting to play others because there's more than meets the eye what with cqc and playing dead etc.

As with MGO with MGS 3 headshots using first person aiming is a must and guarantees the win against auto aimers and those using the over shoulder views.

The maps are well designed, albeit somewhat on the small side for larger groups. The details is pretty good as well. I agree about organized teams making mincemeat out of those who do not.

CQC has always been tough to pull off, but the point is getting the bead on your opponent from behind or the side (also don't be attempting this in the more open areas).

Overall, as an addition to MGS 4 this will make a fun distraction as did the online portion of MGS 3. I'm sure a good community will build up around this game.

Story image Fake as is the story
There's no HDD install on the Xbox 360 version. This story was generated to cause controversy and create traffic for VG247. If there really was an optional install then OXM review would have mentioned it, as would Microsoft.

Small sites making up rubbish seems to be a part of this site.

MEDIA Tool.
So the comments about using up the whole Blu-Ray disc was misleading - or more specifically, those publications running this story were being deliberately misleading. Hype man! View

Too close to GTA IV
a Friday release is a little too close to GTA IV in my view and as someone already said, once the 29th hits MGO will be forgotten for a while by a number of gamers.

Konami/Sony should have gotten it right first time. View

SONY Defence Force 1.01
The people defending SONY here is quite staggering. The point is regardless of whether it's Konami servers and nothing to do with the PSN. It's all via a SONY branded console. So invariably this could be viewed as bad PR for SONY.

SONY has allowed Konami to put the BETA up for its console and therefore it's also down to SONY to make sure it runs smoothly. There's two sides of looking at this.

1. It's good PR - people are talking about MGO and the fact that the demand is very high - is great for the hype machine!

2. Konami/SONY underestimated the demand and now look a little foolish as a result - bad PR. View

SONY USED KOJIMA
QUOTE KJ: "When we first showed the game engine at TGS, the staff were really proud and happy. PS3 was a dream machine, y'know, and we were going to work on this and that - and we had so many ideas. But when we actually started developing the game, we realized there were a lot of restrictions and so it turned out how you see it today"

Because SONY PROVIDED YOU FALSE SPECS IN AN ATTEMPT TO BELITTLE THE COMPETITION.

QUOTE KJ: "I remember saying three years ago that we wanted to create something revolutionary, but in reality we couldn't really do that because of the CPU. We're using the Cell engine to its limit., actually. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the PS3 machine, it's just that we weren't really aware of what the full-spec PS3 offered - we were creating something we couldn't entirely see."

BECAUSE SONY LIED ABOUT THE SPECS AND USED YOU LIKE A PAWN TO HELP ITS CAUSE IN THE LOOMING CONSOLE WAR.

Basically pre PS3 release SONY said one thing, Kojima went "WOW, COOL" and then when it was crunch time the PS3 and its uber CELL wasn't what it was initially claimed to be BY SONY.

SONY used Kojima. View

SONY LIED!
I was at TGS when they first showed the trailer for MGS 4, and like the rest of you noticed how much SONY rhetoric was in the trailer (you know the winning the console war with the cell speak etc etc), and the surrounding buzz. As a fan of the series, I was so excited for the game.

Then we had the other early trailers which had some real beautiful character models (oh Meryl and that hair) and the beautiful Dr.Hunter

Then BAM!!!! --- it all changed.

We had the real trailers with changed character models and an obvious downgrade in graphics for all to see. Only those in denial would argue that the new version looked as good or better than the early videos.

It's obvious from reading Kojima San's comments that the specs they were given were not the real deal and was basically part of the SONY spin machine.

SONY talked up the power of the PS3 and it was only until Kojima got his hands on the final specs has he realized that the PS3 wasn't as powerful as SONY made it out to be.

Still MGS 4 will be a great game. It's just a shame that the obvious downgrade had to happen. View

You could argue watching any of the videos/ trailers thus far have been spoilers. Sometimes a little info is ok, and as above poster has pointed out, there's so much more we're not being shown or is being talked about. View

Multi-plat
Kojima San already stated in an interview (long ago) that he'd like to develop for the Xbox 360, so I am going to assume that a multi-platform title is to be more economically viable for Kojima Productions.

I think the problem here is that most if not all gamers associate him and his staff with just two game series. Maybe this will be his chance (something he's hinted at for years) to break the mold and do something radically new? View

Presume much?
A presumptuous title and article that is based purely on speculative reasoning. How have R* screwed anyone? Seeing as having a bundle for your console is really a matter of choice, why shouldn't the PS3 have a bundle and why shouldn't Xbox 360 have a bundle or similar deals at retail? Nothing has been announced for Xbox 360 as of yet and so people being overly quick to put the final nail in the coffin are a little premature at this stage.

Point is GTA IV will be big for MS and SONY and unless you have a vested interest or shares in either company, as a gamer why should you care, as long as you get to play the game come the 29th? View

Animations -the killer
Whilst I think the game will ultimately be good/very good in aspects of exploration and customization of Baldur, like some others, I've never been truly convinced about the stiff looking animation. This issue was brought up at E3 06 I believe. I am really hoping that SK will fully address this prior to release, which I'm sure they will as this is a MS exclusive title that has been talked about/hyped for ages now. Fingers crossed they don't screw it up in order to just get the game out on time. View
