Forums - Sales - The MGS4 demo and its influence on sales..

numonex on 07 November 2008

MGS 4 demo should of been released before the game launches not 5 months after it has been on the market. MGS 4 has sold around 5 million copies already in 5 months.

I love MGS4 and the entire MGS storyline.

Shun the haters! SHUN!

Oh god. PLEASE tell me they're not putting that god awful prologue level (with the disguise and all of the Gekko) in the demo. That was the worst part of the game. And it wasn't very encouraging that every 10 steps you walked, there was a cutscene.

No, the game didn't reach its best until after you reach the Mk. II. So I hope they include a sequence WITH the MK II.

I dont think that MGS 4 sales will somehow magically pick up, the demo wont help, those who wanted to pick it up or buy PS3 for it arleady have done it.

The demo is pretty good. It has two pretty good areas from the Middle East and not too many cutscenes for the most. I'm not sure if a single demo can have too much impact but this demo is definitely good. They've even altered the menu to look different from the full version, which I find is pretty rare.

This just before the holidays may be the best thing sony Konami has done this year.. for MGS4

Depending on what exactly the demo contains is what will really spring sales up for the actual game.

 

Fixed :)

MGS4 is a good game but extremely overhyped, as it seems to be every game of this generation. The demo should generate a couple thousand more sales but unless all the best bits of the game have been put into the demo which they probably have done it will not cause a huge influx in sales.

Killzone 2, now that is a great game. :)

 

Overhyped?

Have you played MGS4? If anything it doesnt have enough hype..

 

yeah i was gonna comment then i said no, something that's overhyped was halo3, i mean it was basically halo2 nothing really changed, but mgs4 is just epic should've got a 20/10

Dont you dare compare halo 2 to halo 3. Halo 2 is a far more superior game.
