Rumor: Amazon reveals Metal Gear Solid 4 US, Europe box art [update]

Update: Konami confirms Europe's box art. (Thanks Aaron!)

Amazon's US and German sites have new box art for Konami's upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The US site features a rather close-up shot of Old Snake, while the German site features a more artistic portrait.

The Europe box art was also "confirmed" by some press agency speaking to PS3-Talk.de, whose message was then given to videogaming247. If we sound skeptical, it's because retailers don't typically have the best track record, and neither do sources from various degrees removed.

We've contacted Konami for more information. In the meantime, check out the first in what promises to be the best video game series ever: Metal Gear Selleck: Guns of the Private Eye.

Personally, the European one is far more appealing to me.

The US version is better...

From what I can hear thru all the sony fanboy raving about this game Snake has had a hard life and that picture evokes a lot of emotion. It looks like hes in deep thought.

Something tells me that this game is going to be epic for the fans of the series. Hopefully it comes out for the 360. Otherwise I'll just watch the cutscenes on Youtube to find out what the hell happens.

yeah, as a fan of the series, the american one is better. i like seeing this gruff old snake so realisticly portrayed on the cover... you can relate to this snake. his face shows you this is his last mission, hes gettin to old for this s***. i feel like this box art really hits home that snake is an old man now!!!

Wow.

Europe got the better box art for once!

Please see Ico.

They got them mixed up

The yanks seem to like the EU box art and I (an irish boy)like the US one

lmao

OOh does anyone know if thers gona be a demo on PSN?

I hate the supposed American box. MGS has an established artistic style seen on title screens and box covers over the last 10 years. This departure from that style is unacceptable to me.

The US one is rubbish, EU's is more in touch with the series art style, rather than just having a basic bland "lets make Snake look deep in thought" enhanced ingame model.

Honestly, I don't know why some of you are so hung up on the "art" of the past covers and title screens. Title screens?!? Seriously? The US cover looks more like the actual game, what's wrong with that?
