There were rumors flying all over the place that MGS4, the epic conclusion that is supposed to make the PS3 the greatest console ever made is a 9 hr game. This alone would have caused mass hysteria and probably much angry masturbation. It turns out the report from BBFC, which do final checks on games and apparently passes or fails them. Their report claimed that MGS4 had a 9 hr run time(545m, 7s).
Needless to say, people lost their fucking minds. It turns out, that the 9 hrs was just the amount of game they received, not the entire title. Here is the forum post were it was all finally explained by one frantic gamer. You can also view the “run times” for MGS2 and 3. Check these out. They said MGS2 had a run time of 8 mins. Yeah, exactly. People went apeshit over a misunderstood reporting system. Settle down folks, the game is going to blow you all away.
Showing off the box art is a friendly reminder that the game’s release date is drawing nearer. This is what is currently listed on Amazon. This appears to be the final version, though we wouldn’t be surprised if it changes a little in the next few months.
Konami has been at it a full 20 years for Metal Gear. Sort of hard to believe. Its also hard to believe that MGS4: Guns of the Patriots is only a few months away. Gamers everywhere are counting the days.
Not only is Japan getting a much cooler MGS4 collector’s edition, they are also getting the first version of a differently colored PS3. The new “Steel” color will debut in June when MGS4 hit the shelves in a special bundle. There has been nothing said about a North American or UK launch, but we can only hope that this is not Japan only. Expect some pictures of this as soon as we get them.
