Agreed. It really is marketing genius. The fans are already hearing about this if they didn't tune in and would eventually hear about it if/when it's revealed as an MGS title, but at the same time everybody else who may not otherwise be a fan or interested in MGS are taking interest in it. How is it not a smart marketing move?

 

For a few different reasons. It really depends how long it takes for them to release information. However the general confusion about the title isnt really good and niether is the fact that this news will die in a couple of days. But lets wait for sales to determine if these were good marketing moves.

All I know is everyone's eyes are on it right now and they aren't going to just look away that quickly. The announcement of it's tie to MGS will be an important thing timing-wise, that's for sure, but I don't think the level of interest this generated will just die in a couple of days. We'll see, but personally I think this is  great marketing.
