Rumor: Metal Gear Solid 4 demo coming after all?
Sure, if Kojima Productions' Ryan Payton is to be believed, there won't be a Metal Gear Solid 4 demo, but if you're a reader of the Ultimate PlayStation 3 Mag, you're probably scratching your head right now. That's because after previewing a level from the game in the January issue, they say the stage they played will be available on the PlayStation Store in February.
While this most certainly isn't concrete proof of the demo heading our way, it does certainly keep the hope alive. After all, would it really be that much trouble for Konami to throw its diehard fans a bone?

I hope this is true. This would not be the first time a developer lied about a release date or demo.

Fellow PS3 fanboys this rumor has been.....CONFIRMED!
The MetalGearSolid4.net e-mailed the editor of PSW for confirmation that a demo for MGS4 will appear on the Playstation Network to which they responded: "At the time of writing the article a Konami rep told us a demo, the demo we played in our office for the magazine article, would be on the PSN Store."
See for your self http://metalgearsolid4.net/2008/01/20/metal-gear-solid-4-demo-coming-to-the-playstation-network-next-month.html
BTW happy MLK day! and when the game is Released let wish each other a happy MGS day too!

No, it's not true. Video Game magazine companys always get things messed up. My Gamepro magazine said GT4 Prologue was already out. So like an idiot, I ran to Gamestop looking for the game instead of calling. In my Game Informer Mag, it says games are due out and I never see them in the stores. Game informer has a calendar every issue with releases on those days.
So I say you can't trust the words of magazines nor internet websites i.e. IGN's release date section is always messed up!

... Weren't these the same people who said there'd be a big reveal of Zone of the Enders 3?
Justin @ Jan 21st 2008 12:03PM
Yea, its the same mag...and that even said the game was slated for 2007.
HOWEVER, Ryan Payton revealed on the KP Report #75 that Kojima Productions has 3 new projects in the pipeline that will be revealed soon...
Hopefully ZOE3 might be one of them.

I hope there is a demo
Catdogburger @ Jan 21st 2008 12:38PM
I hope to god they release it to the PSN because when I went to CES they had a playable demo there, and it was totally completed, and i ask "When is the demo going to be available on the PSN?" The Konami guy replied "We currently have no plans right now to release it to the PSN."
That was back during CES, so hopefully they changed their minds about it now.

I hope this is true but I doubt it. Their wording is so vague that it could be referring to a game play video of that level.
The next rumor will be that there will be a MGS4 demo on Xbox live.
Hashbrown_Hunter @ Jan 21st 2008 12:52PM
The only thing to do is.........wait.
Byron517 @ Jan 21st 2008 1:39PM
agree.. a true test of patience is upon us...
HAAS599 @ Jan 21st 2008 4:07PM
its my MGS4 and I want it NOW!
Lard @ Jan 21st 2008 4:11PM
Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease
Musouka @ Jan 21st 2008 4:20PM
Anyway, I hope MGS4 is completed sooner, so that there's a chance for ZOE3 coming soon :P.
Neil @ Jan 21st 2008 6:52PM
I'm a bit doubtful, but if true this is GREAT news!!!

Well, whether it is true or not demos can be a double edged sword. It all depends on the amount of spit and polish they put into it. While I would like to see a demo of MGS4, I'd rather wait for the actual game if the demo isn't up to snuff.
John @ Jan 23rd 2008 7:54AM
An MGS4 demo would be enough to make me pick up a PS3 lol
