Metal Gear Solid 4 - delayed

Dire · #1 10-31-2007, 01:50 PM

Konami has confirmed that MGS4 has been pushed back to quarter 2 2008.

Quarter 2 pushes its latest release target back towards the summer; one of the slowest times for gamers with publishers typically avoiding any significant releases. It will be interesting to see if they do go with this new release target. Also curious is the reasons for the delay. They're anybody's guess, but this is undoubtedly the absolute last thing Sony wanted to see.

That sucks... but it seems to be the norm. I would be suprised if it was released before the start of quarter 3, but IMO, whatever it takes to make sure the game is great.

I just noticed that GTA IV is scheduled for Q2 as well. I thought they said Q1 when they realised they couldn't get it done this year.

Am I imagining that?

They'll probably keep pushing it back, similar to what has happened with Mass Effect. It'll be a key selling point for PS3's in the holiday season next year, and the closer towards the holiday's it is, the fresher it will be on the shelves especially if they keep improving it.
