Metal Gear Solid 4 limited edition box a possibility

by Jem Alexander { Jan 10th 2008 at 12:00PM }

This Metal Gear Solid 4 video from Gamespot contains a few interesting tidbits of info regarding the release of Metal Gear Solid 4. First, the release is confirmed, set, cemented and on target for Q2 2008. Honest. There are also discussions within the Konami marketing department regarding a limited edition box for the game - though we're hoping it won't really contain a live alligator or a gun.

Metal Gear Online is once again reiterated as being a pack-in starter pack with MGS4. There's no word yet on whether a full release will be on shelves along with MGS4, or whether the non-starter content will only be made available via the PSN Store. Finally, there's some more in-game footage from the first level of the game. You know, the one you've watched about a hundred times already.

I'll be buying the limited edition game, if there is one. A bandana or FOXHOUND patch included would be sweet. MGS is why I bought a ps1, a ps2, and a ps3. I don't care what anyone thinks, MGS4 will be a system mover.

I will be purchasing the original as well as the LE.

Right on, brother!

Man...she sounds like this is her first day :(

She seems so un-informed.

I think the game looks amazing, but yeah, I'd like to see more than the first board at some point. I really hope there's more variety to it, something Resistance:FOM needed badly. Enough with the browns and grays.

ring of threat? lol thats a dig at the rrod if I ever heard one

NukeAssault @ Jan 10th 2008 1:02PM

itll probably be Japan only. >_<

But if it was here too... it hit it up.

NukeAssault @ Jan 10th 2008 1:06PM

My bad misread. Thought it was a Pecial Edition Ps3. XD

Tom @ Jan 10th 2008 1:02PM

"we're not really focused on a demo" - erm, but what are they playing right now in this video?? it's obviously a demo, which would be uploaded onto the store servers pretty easy

I would have the limited edition for just collecting and the regular edition for playing. This game is going to be HUGE

Dam\mit.... I am a sucker for LE\CE deals. If they do have one, I will be getting one aswell.

Stellarpimp @ Jan 10th 2008 2:54PM

I'd hit dat!

Besides the fact that this means there's no Chance of a Dante appearance (kill me now)...

It's pretty cool...

But Why?

Just why?

While I infinatly prefer Darth Vader to Yoda, and I'm glad that I get him instead...

And I get the logic of the whole whole color thing behind it (360=green/white=Yoda/lighside) (PS3=Black=Vade/Darkside)...

Why can't we have both?

Is it really neccesary to remove one character from each version?

Let owners of 360s and PS3s both have both characters...

Jesus that's so ****ing stupid...

What is going to happen is that Namco will release the characters as DLC for both consoles respectivaly a couple months after release.

They know people will pay.

Annoying. If it wasn't the sequel to the best fighting game ever I'd be mad.

Oh, and man that screen shot looks goooooooooooooooooooooooooood..

Also C3P0 confirmed playable for Wii version.

Emophia @ Jan 10th 2008 3:54PM

Ignore that, wrong post...

As for this...

A collecters edition would be awesome... Aslong as it comes with interesting stuff...

BlackBeltJones @ Jan 10th 2008 4:20PM

If there is a japan only limited edition I'll be pissed. But since games that are a lot less prominent/crappy get limited editions (See: Two Worlds) I doubt that Konami won't want to milk us all for another $10.

A Hind D?

Marrvia @ Jan 10th 2008 6:18PM

Am I the only one sick of all these Limited Edition versions of games. It's kind of annoying. What a waste of money.

James Gnann @ Jan 10th 2008 10:33PM

I would easily give my left nut for a CE right about now. Or probably even a demo. I REALLY need this, and soon.

Allow me explain!
After countless hours of several cold winters nights! (November 16-17, 2006, to be exact!)
Of awaiting the arrival of the magical technical marvel of the day, Sony's PS3. And after nearly running over what seemed like thousands of people for a decent spot in line at Best Buy! To deliver my hard earned cash ($600 bucks or so) into the hands of Sony, by way of the Middle man Best Buy. Only to be promised MG4. Which was the reason I subjected myself to this madness in the first place! Only to hear time and time again that it's not ready yet! This is 2008, mind you! So if Q2 comes around and Konami doesn't have their shit together by then, we should all boycott the freaking game altogether! By then I'll be beyond PISSED ! ! ! !
THEY TAKE THE MARKETING STRATEGY OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND TO AN ALL-TIME NEW LOW ! ! ! !

IS IT ME ONLY????
OR DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL MY PAIN?????
