Default Konami is building their own MGS4 hype/reviews.. EGM refuses to play along

Good for EGM. Time and again they prove that their integrity is above all else.

Shame on Konami. Could it be they aren't too confident on the game that the ps3 needs?

Hmmm, all MGS games so far have been pretty good. Probably the EGM staff doesn't want people telling them what to do

well the point is that a publisher should NEVER tell ANY media outlet what to do

Is this really what you were talking about when you said you write about video games?

Had potential but poor execution. Very disappointing.

who cares?

i know MGS4 is going to be a kick ass game, although i will admit, i never played any of the MG games, nor do i plan to.

EGM and all the other mags can do or say whatever they want to, in the end, people will be waiting in line for the game, regardless of how great it may or may not be. kind of like Gran Turismo 4, Halo 3, anything on the Wii. hell, i will be honest, i have no fucking idea why people CAMP outside stores for a fucking game. just wait a week or two and you can grab it anywhere. fucking virgins.

What is it with you and all the negative MGS news? First the 90 minute cut-scene now this? Have you played the original on Nintendo? The re-make on Gamecube? Do you even follow the story? Fans that know what Metal Gear is about and have followed the series closely don't care that there is a 90 minute long cut-scene. Why? Because it's gonna explain some holes from previous Metal Gear games.

Here are current scores given to MGS 4 so far

GamePro: 5/5
US OPM: 5/5
Playstation Beyond: 10/10
P:TOM: 10/10
PSM Italy: 10/10
UK OPM: 10/10
LEVEL (Sweden) 10/10
Meristation: 10/10
US IGN: 9.9/10
UK IGN: 9.9/10
Joypad: 19/20
Chief (Belgium): 9.7
Gamemaster: 97%/100%
Dutch OPM: 96/100
Hobby Consolas (Spain): 9.6/10
CVG: 9.5/10
Playfrance: 9.5/10
PSM3: 94%/100%
Gamesradar: 9/10
Hardgame2: 9/10
Gamereactor: 9/10
Jeuxvideo: 18/20
EDGE: 8/10
