Forums - Sony Discussion - "MGS4 has two cutscenes nearing the 90 minute mark" - EDGE

I'm glad it's not getting all 10's, I don't want another GTA 4 where everybody talks about whether the score was deserved or not rather then talking about the actual game.

It seems like a big deal, and Video Games should be more about the "game" than the "video". I'm willing to bet my left (least favorite) testicle that after watching that 90 minute cut scene, most real MGS fans will be left in awe and amazement. Kojima hasn't let me down yet!



what if u have to take a shit?



wow that sounds like an insanely terrible idea. seriously just make a movie instead of a game. i love the metal gear series but that is just dumb. if there were 90 minutes total of cutscene for the whole game spread out with maybe a finishing cutscene of like 10 minutes that'd be one thing. but 90 minutes for two separate cutscenes alone... wow, i don't ever plan on owning a ps3 during this gen but mgs4 was one of the very few reasons that i would consider getting it once the next gen starts and ps3 gets down to like 100 bucks used. but i don't think i'd even want to bother playing this game at all if its basically just a movie with some gameplay taken to the extreme (much more so than the other metal gear games). now i'm left with only 1 good reason to ever get a ps3, ffXIII, and that just ain't enough.

@ DogWeed: go ahead and shit your pants. Metal Gear is probably going to be so awesome, that it would probably make you shit yourself anyway. I shit myself twice reading replies in this thread.......that's not natural, though. I just had to get that off of my chest.

geenie stop trolling the topic.



I dunno. I played and beat all 3 previous MGS games (at least twice each) and I'm still a little turned off by this. The longest cutscenes I can think of from the previous games hit 15 minutes not counting ending cutscenes. This is more than a little bit too much. I guess as long as I can pause it, I won't mind.

From Edge:

-- 90 minute cutscenes
-- Not a game for MGS outsiders

It sounds, at least to me, that people who didn't like MGS before won't like MGS4 any better, but people who liked MGS1-3 will love it. Sounds good: if you're an MGS fan already, I think you can read Edge's 8 as a 10, for you.


+1

I can see why you're an enlightened being, lol.

MGS is not a game, it`s a STORY with gameplay elements.


MGS is a game, a game with long cutscenes.


 According to Kojima himself the MGS games are "interactive movies".



Further proof that the PS3 just sells as a Bluray player.

I keed, I keed. Don't mind me, I'm just jealous of you guys.
