Gag order placed by Konami on MGS4 reviewers for technical info? |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: Konami, MTV
Ó
A report on MTV Multiplayer blog was recently posted, describing what restrictions Konami Digital Entertainment placed on reviews of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. As usual, plot elements had to be kept blanketed to avoid spoilers, but strangely enough, some technical details were also specified in the list.Specifically, the length of the game's cut scenes and the install size of the game on the PlayStation 3 hard drive were allegedly embargoed. Reasons were not specified why, but MTV Multiplayer guesses that these may be things that may be viewed negatively by some.
That, at least, holds true for reviewers in the print media. Internet-based publications seem to be clear on that matter. Case in point is Eurogamer's recently-posted critique of MGS4 which has information for both things.
"You can't call it a cut-scene, it's an entire film in its own right," wrote Eurogamer in its review of MGS4 as they described the types of cut scenes in-engine, and the one that supplied the finale.
We guess it's going to take time for us all to know the truth behind Konami's supposed move. In the meantime, let's take our sweet time playing our games instead of worrying about something that's not even there yet.

Especially in a game series where if you skip a 2 second cutscene or codec convo the entire story won't make sense from then on.

In the IGN review, the reviewer said that half of the game's content was comprised of cutscenes, so if it's only 90 minutes total then this is a very short game.
Which it won't be, because there is a 90 minute cutscene in there somewhere. And like I said, it will most likely be the last cutscene. It would make sense. I also don't see how my last comment was negative, but that's mgs fanboys for you.
