Tokyo's Metal Gear Solid 4 launch events cancelled |
Ó
A sad turn of events in Tokyo, Japan. Konami has just announced that the launch events they have planned for Metal Gear Solid 4 have been cancelled. Originally, the celebration was scheduled to take place in three locations within Tokyo on June 12.
Konami's official statement doesn't reveal much on the "why" aspect, and the translation simply states that the cancellation is "due to various reasons."
Some people online, however, believe that maybe the recent Akihabara stabbings might have something to do with it. See, when the Akihabara story broke out in the news last month, some people have linked it to the Ninja Gaiden 2 launch, so maybe Konami is trying to avoid a similar situation.
While this link to the Akihabara stabbings is unconfirmed, what we do have to note is that MGS4 is not delayed in Japan. Konami announced that the launch events have been cancelled, and they did not, in any way or form, announce that the game's release was cancelled. There's a difference.

Time zones and jet lag having to run from Japan over to the US would be a nuiscance?
The attacks most likely had something to do with it. I don't blame them if that was the reason. I wouldn't want to host an event and then have to worry about some whiny psycho coming and stabbing or shooting everyone.
We get something that Japan doesn't get their hands on first! Down with the sloppy seconds!!
Kind of disgusting allusion there but ok, I pretty much agree.
