Title: No MGS4 demo on PSN
Post by: Rman on October 18, 2007, 11:13:10 PM: From 1up:

By Steve Watts

"Following Tokyo Game Show, everyone who got a chance to play Metal Gear Solid 4 has been jonesing for another chance -- and everyone who didn't get a chance to play has been wondering what the deal is with the monkey. Nevertheless, it seemed as if a demo would be heading our way soon.

Though it makes sense, a demo isn't coming. So says the latest Kojima Productions podcast (via Game|Life). According to Michael Shelling from Konami, the E for All Expo is the first and last chance we'll be able to get our grubby paws on the game until its release. If people had known that before the expo started, ticket sales probably would have been boosted considerably.

No demo at all, not even as we get closer to the release date? Plans are subject to change, but right now Konami's official word is no. As you cry your bitter tears, you may find some comfort in reading our hands-on preview. Or it may put you in a spiral of depression."

This sucks. Is Sony even trying these days?

I remember the hype generated by the MGS2 demo included in ZOE.

I'm distraught. Not that it would matter because I can't play the demo over and over because I don't have aps3

At least, not for a while until after release. Like a year or so.
