Kojima Productions is done with MGS4 trailers, for now

by Ross Miller { Sep 28th 2007 at 5:00PM }

Counting nine trailers since the original at Tokyo Game Show 2005, Kojima Productions assistant producer Ryan Payton has told MTV Games' Stephen Totilo that their latest video, from this year's TGS (embedded above), "could be the last trailer [for the game]."

"The pressure is really on to finish work on the game, and we have decided not to be sidetracked by any more promotional work," he said. That doesn't rule out making more cinema once the game is completed, but don't expect that anytime soon.

The nine trailers, for those keeping track, encompass three E3 Expos, three Tokyo Game Shows, two Leipzig Games Conventions and a Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Party. It should be noted, as Totilo observes, that one of the videos wasn't a trailer so much as it was 15 minutes of Hideo Kojima playing the in-progress game.

Damn with so many unfullfilled promises you'd think it was a Gran Turismo game they were developing.

You can do better.

Ha ha... I see what you did there.

Yeah... they should stop making this videos. They are wasting time and now the 360 version will be delayed two days more.

Open your eyes a little more. There is no 360 version. Good luck trying to play it on your DVD's and overheated 360's.

Turn on your jokeometer, please.

mhm because all us 360 fanboys are clamoring for some monkeys that drink coke and Magicians.

MGS FTW!!!

Or you could just stop being an ass on every post that has to do with the Sony.

Mr. P @ Sep 28th 2007 6:04PM

I think this guy just feeds off the attention. If you ignore him, he'll shut up or go away.

Penny arcade has always sucked.

"Wait... you mean this needs to be a GAME?"

Jnas @ Sep 28th 2007 5:48PM

wow people over at the joystiq comments section are hilarious! I'm mean, my sides are splitting!

/sarcasm.

Just thinking about this game makes my thingy move. It's sad that only me and the three other PS3 owners will be able to enjoy it, although I'm sure we'll be seeing a sales spike when it arrives.

TMGE_rock @ Sep 28th 2007 6:14PM

euh.. the video embedded above is an old one, not the one from this years TGS

jtspanky @ Sep 28th 2007 7:21PM

I know this is off topic of all the PS3 bashing but did anyone else notice young Snake at the end of this? I've never seen young Snake in any of these trailers. Have I missed something? I thought this was to be the final MGS and they were going to kill Snake off. Where the HELL did young Snake come from? Please shplain it to me someone!

Jerk Face @ Sep 28th 2007 7:37PM

"Hideo!!! You got some splainin' to do!"

Solid snake not naked snake or Big boos is the young snake he appears in one trailer.

Now for all you newbs Old snake is naked snake A.K.A Big boss he is the original Solid snake. He appears in MGS 3 and Portable ops but he is used as a reference in MGS1.Now the young snake or Solid snake you can also call him Dave is from the MGS 1 and 2 series.
