Maybe they'll stop being complete and utter tools and combine multiplayer with it?

Nope, definitely not. That's the right of being the only good game on the ps3, I guess. They kind of have to sell it twice to make profit.

"There's some consolation to be found in the assurance that the delay will allow "further improvements to the quality of the game and provide even greater enjoyment for more customers worldwide"

thats a novel idea!

"Konami further promises that pushing Metal Gear Solid 4 into the April-June arrival window will ensure it will appear on the Xbox 360."

I thnk this may be my fault. i bought a ps3 this week so I could play mgs4 when it came out netx year...I think god is punishing me by delaying the game.

On a side note: JESUS FUCK, SONY! Give Konami more guys. Just start shoveling them on so they can complete the game on time. You need this. You think killzone and LBP are really going to be the breakout hits you need to sell a device that expensive?

You cant just throw manpower at a software deadline. This is just poor planning / management on someones part.

Is the PS3 really this hard to program for? I mean wasnt this originally a launch title?

Wait, if each one of them discs was a DVD9 then it'd be 180gb? I really doubt MGS4 is 180gb, that wouldn't even fit on a Blue Ray disc...

I don't think Konami have heard of compression. I mean if visually stunning games like Crysis and epic roaming games like Oblivion can fit on a DVD9 then where on Gods earth is the space going on Blue Ray games?

luckily, only disc one contains the game.

the other 18 discs are full of CG cutscenes.

It's very very hard to not feel sorry for Sony. But then you remember they shut down Lik Sang (to quote Maddox) because "they committed the mortal sin of selling Japanese PSPs to European gamers. Oh no! Not that!"

They did. But Nintendo (wisely enough) didn't produce the PSP which got Lik Sang shut down. Nintendo, Sony and MS's court cases were years before the PSP was even out and everything was sorted. Till Sony didn't want people to buy PSPs anymore (thankfully a trend which is continuing).

The Nintendo, Microsoft, and Nintendo lawsuit was settled in 2005... hardly years before PSPs launch.

And I don't know, other online retailers took the cease and desist to heart, Lik-Sang refused. They've never refused Nintendo's Cease & Desist letters.

People have played a demo for the game that had no issues, so this isn't a development issue. It's more likely a business response to the fact that several titles have been pushed back to the Jan. - March timeframe and they want to take advantage of the hardware sales from that window and release when no other title will take away from the MGS marketing push.

Agreed. Not enough people own PS3's for their liking, so they wait. They admit it themselves when they want to "...provide even greater enjoyment for more customers worldwide." Key word MORE. As in the current install base sucks and we won't make our money back! Pathetic shame.

Exactly, DBX00. Konami delayed their flagship title for three months because they were terrified they wouldn't get any publicity or sales if they had to go head to head with the Army Of Two juggernaut.

Tell me more about Tretton's 10 year plan, again?

You do realize the whole "...provide even greater enjoyment for MORE customers worldwide" could be implying a multiplatform release.

And if sales at Christmas are as low as many are projecting, you can bet that that likelyhood will increase exponentially.

That's incredibly stupid. It's MGS4. It doensn't need to fear being overshadowed...it IS THE SHADOW. It overshadows other games. Is anyone gonna give a shit about army fo two or blacksite ps3 when this comes out? Hell no. It's the closest thing the ps3 has to halo....other games should be making room for IT, not the other way around.
