On the same day that Singstar PS3 is delayed in the US, Konami confirms that Metal Gear Solid 4 has been delayed too - putting Sony in a spot of bother.

Well no ps3 for me then...not anytime soon. MGS4 was the one single saving grace game for ps3....and its gone and blown that too....oh well.

MGS was always slated for March 08 rather than this years so its not much of a slip really.

Rebourne · 31st Oct 2007, 10:30

Well that's a nail in the coffin that is the ps3 I'll just get an 8800gt then.

I admit that I was never aware of a 'this winter' release date for MGS4 so it's not really too much of a problem for me.

However... January, February, March... I thought that was Q1, then April, May, June was Q2.

the 360 version would of hit the shelves before the ps3 verison sees the light of day. more ps3 developement time means that konami need to recop investment and i cant see the ps3 doing that on its own

As long as it's up to the standards of the previous MGS titles, I don't think anyone who really loves MGS will actually mind all that much. If after the 3-6 Month delay we get a much better game, I'm all for it.

mikeuk2004 · 31st Oct 2007, 11:36

When was it going to be released this winter??? It was anounced that it was being pushed back to next year months ago. 1up show have been talking about the release of next year on their pod cast and videos for a long time.

There are loads of games due for release over these last few months that have been pushed back to next year. What is going on, we got MGS4, Amy of Two, GTA IV and many more. In away its good because I cant buy them all this year

I was planning on getting a PS3 this christmas so I have one when MGS4 comes out next year with GTA IV and GT

UncertainGod · 31st Oct 2007, 11:52

I was always under the impression that the game was slated for Q1 next year.

Juppun · 31st Oct 2007, 11:55

Same here, I was expecting the game for next March anyways, no way near this Winter. Will be buying the console then also.

ssj12 · 31st Oct 2007, 15:01

MSG4 was never for winter 2007. It was supposed to be Q1 08 so Q2 08 wont matter much. Xmas 07 isn't Sony's anyways it's ninitendo's with Sony in 2nd. Uncharted = better then halo. =]

neonplanet40 · 31st Oct 2007, 15:31

I dont care it is still the best and cheapest blu-rayer player available and compared to my old 360 it is quieter and the perfect media extender for me. A game has been delayed... SO WHAT?

It happens all the time everyone knows to take dates with a pinch of salt until they are physically in the shops to buy. Plus why would someone buy a console just to play MGS? Thats just silly. Its like buying a £2000 pc just to play crysis. You buy it because it has other capabilities as well. Blu-ray being the major advantage. Not to mention how well it upscales standard dvd's.

Bit bashing the PS3 again

devdevil85 · 31st Oct 2007, 19:25

I love how people keep saying, "Well, I guess I won't be getting the PS3 [due to the "unexpected and shocking" news of MGS4's "delay"]. Here comes the [insert video card here]" as if they were actually A) going to buy the console in the first place or B) expecting MGS4's release to be right after Xmas......

I guess if you are one of those people who only want the PS3 for MGS4 (highly doubtful) then it makes sense to buy a video card to hold you over until then (considering you have a decent rig), but still...to consider the news unexpected (again considering it's the only game you want) is a little farfetched.....

Like many people have previously said: this is not new news, but rather news set to reinforce correct expectations.....
