Title: Metal Gear Solid 4 -- June 12th?
Post by: Mr. Gundam on February 26, 2008, 02:25:26 PM
Sounds like Sony just announced that MGS4 will be coming out on June 12th. It will also be available in a bundle with an 80GB (I thought this was discontinued?) PS3.

Also, the Dual Shock 3 is coming out on April 15th for $54.99.

LOL, if there's any time to doubt a 360 version, it's right now.

BUT, I will have it purchased Day Fucking One and beat Day Fucking One.

I was thinking the same thing, actually.

Quote
In additional news coming from Destination PlayStation, SCEA announced
Metal Gear Solid(R)4: Guns of the Patriots will be available in North
America in late Q2 2008. A Metal Gear Online "Starter Pack" will also be
launched to support online game play. Gamers can select a single player
experience or take the action online with up to 16 players and battle it
out using the latest weapons and stealth techniques. For those eager to
take on Solid Snake's nemesis, Liquid Ocelot, a nationwide pre-sell
promotion will enable gamers to pre-order Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the
Patriots and be guaranteed access to a multiplayer beta test for Metal Gear
Online scheduled for late April.

Nice!

This is why they announced it:

-the media hype surrounding the PS3 right now (EGM)
-Sony winning the HD format wars with their Blu-ray technology will spur interest and sales in the PS3 as a Blu-ray player (those that have waited for one format will be looking to buy a Blu-ray player and the PS3 is still an affordable and updated model)
-the MGO beta will spur interest in the Playstation Network, along with the upcoming Home open beta.

looks like Sony actually did something right for a change

their next step is to actually get some decent exclusives other than MGS4, I honestly dont understand how anybody could be hyped for FF13.

Although I do admit, when I see Uncharted being played, I think to myself: 'I wish my 360 could do that  :('

you could imagine a joint project by them would be the ulitmate homo-erotic arthouse mindfuck action game

Suda hinted that they were working on something together, and also that he was working on something else with Mikami

Smart move.  Looks like Sony is finally doing something right.  I've always thought it was a mistake for Sony to keep hyping up their own new IPs over franchises that the majority of Sony fans really cared about.  3rd party exclusives have always been the main reason why Sony was number 1.

Maybe Harrison was reading too much GAF?  Otherwise, I can't fathom how they ever thought that stuff like Uncharted & Resistance were more important than GTA or MGS.  I've been telling friends & family that have recently bought PS3s to try out those games but no one was willing to try them over a more famous franchise like Call of Duty.
