Maybe it'll have surprise advertising for the game cause it would be stupid not to advertise it. WE'LL SEE.

Well I haven't finished watching the bonus round, but I saw this. (if you've been trying to avoid MGS4 info for the past month or two, it shows some locales that hadn't been seen)

Are they theater ads or something?

The video was only some guy saying he's heard rumors that there may not be any TV advertising. Nowhere near a definite thing.

Actaully this is false. It's been confirmed weeks ago that MGS4 will run tv ads. However majority of the ads will be targeting movies theatres during the previews playing before movies. There will also be 2 tv spots on MTV movie awards tonight.

its alright...this most likely will contribute to a 360 port...

in any case, I don't care if some dude's little brother doesn't see the commercial and doesn't buy it as I get it first day.

Once again SONY does a foolish & stupid thing that makes me go WTF

I mean they do frikkin drink commercials with MGS4 in it for Japan where the game SELLS the LEAST..& in NA they aren't even doing a TV Commercial.......

Nice reward for letting Konami keep it exclusive to PS3 SONY..not even bothering to market the game, I mean this is THE BIG game for PS3 this year since FF13 & GT 5 are delayed!

What are your thoughts...will it hinder the sales??

PS: No news on EU marketing yet..

Don't post unconfirmed news as fact,because NGai clearly said "specualtions".Sony is not going to let their biggest game for their system go unnoticed.As a matter of fact;The MTV Movie Awards is actually running the theatrical trailer throughout the show.
