MGS4 to have 90 minute long cutscenes?

y'know though....some people really enjoy cut scenes and would prefer not to see them go extinct just because some of you guys deem it beneath you. Hell I watched tons of Xenosaga without playing, and I loved it.

The point isn't that they should go away, the point is that taking up half of an interactive game with them is unacceptable in this day and age. Technology has improved to the point where engine-based scenes that allow player interaction are becoming the norm and are actually moving the industry forward in ways that movies could never do.

On top of this it seems like a bizzare choice given what the theme of Metal Gear Solid 4 is supposed to be ...

If you're theme is "Free Will vs. Forced Control" you'd think that you'd use the interactive elements of your medium to offer people choice and (attempt) to control them rather than having Solid Snake debate to idea for 30 minutes.
