MGS2 had 2000 pages of script, MGS4 had a little over 2000 pages as well. Hopefully this means there will be a lot of story in HR, equal to that of an MGS game.

Except, the stories in MGS series are linear other than the two endings in MGS1.  I am suprised that 2,000 pages of script came at like maybe 10 hours of cutscenes.  A game should only need 600 pages to get 10 hours of cutscenes.  I though game screenplays worked the same way as movie screenplays: 1 minute per page.  That is unless the scipt includes gameplay.

There's also hours of codec (especially in MGS2) and script for in-game soldiers to say
