Well...I heard it from a friend of a friend on Joystiq but regarding #1,apparently IGN had once lost it's review exclusivity because they revealed some crucial MGS2 "spoilers" like Raiden etc.
This might explain why EGM gave in and decided to keep the review rather than printing it out and ignoring Konami's threats.

Screw Metal Gear Solid 4!
After all the damn hype this game has been getting it's hard to think it won't be a disappointment. Now, MGS and MGS3 were awesome, but do you know why MGS2 was so bad? It's cutscenes were way too freaking long and the plot, in the second half at least, flies all over the place with Kojima pulling the Dues ex Machina shit by saying that "It was staged by the PATRIOTS!" in every 3rd sentence.
As for Konami censuring EGM, that's nothing new. They don't want spoilers to get out before release. Someone mentioned Raiden's premature release in this thread (He he he...premature release). They also don't want shitty game aspects to get out before release, in which case they maybe shouldn't have people review the game. Konami must have been hopping to build up further hype by giving gamers a person in authority, a reviewer, handing the game unbridled praise. That crap may have worked with Kane & Lynch, but cons to a Metal Gear title simply won't slip under the radar that easily.
I will say this: 90 minute cutscenes is an impressive feat; it pushes the evelope in terms of performance. But I also pushes my patience. Seriously, what the hell? This isn't cinematic gaming, this is watching a movie. Hopefully there won't quick time events to force you to watch them.

I would call the stealth suit a pretty big step forward and so is all the cool gadgets and moves. I'm actually thinking of getting a PS3 because this game makes me want one over any of the other games available.SkyScrapper said:

MGS4 will NOT, i repeat, NOT have 90-fucking- minute long cut scenes! This has been disproved from the people who have actually played the damn game!
Some of the reviews have said the the ration of Game play to Cinematics are half:half to Two-thirds and One-third.
The scenes are skippable, and, goddamn, even fast forwardable! (not sure about the FF option)
If you aren't prepared to watch Kojima's hard work with his game as well as play it, then don't get it.
We all know its going to sell and that its going to be good. A review is pointless for games such as MGS4 because you know your going to buy it if you liked the other ones and your not if you didnt(If you never played any MGS game then you must have been living under a rock).
Its one of the very few games that plays out like a movie which in my opinion no one has ever done successfully. It has massive amounts of story and the fact that MGS4 has 77 weapons gives me a hard on. At this point i find that its impossible for Hideo Kojima and Konami to screw MGS up because so far the series has been a complete masterpiece.

If he hates the casual gamer then why the fuck is snake on SSBB which is on the Wii which is the biggest casual concole in the market ???
360 for hardcore gamers just for the on-line play though
PS3 for the rich people and fanboys
Wii for the casual gamers/5 year olds/fanboys
You sir are the biggest liar in existance
Link? I mean, of course I won't be surprised if he said that - I've heard him say something of that nature in an interview, but I just want to see this for myself.Indigo_Dingo said:
and no it won't be too big for 360, it'll just be about 10 discs
Holy Jebus MGS4 is 89 gb?!ElArabDeMagnifico said:Link? I mean, of course I won't be surprised if he said that - I've heard him say something of that nature in an interview, but I just want to see this for myself.Indigo_Dingo said:

You fall into the "Fool" category.
Yeah they were trying to keep it uncompressed since Blu-Ray has 50 gb of space, but it ended up being way bigger than 50 GB so they had to compress it, and it still took up the majority of the disc.shatnershaman said:
Yeah and I'm sure a lot of it will suck up hard drive space on the PS3 HDD since it's probably extremely compressed and will probably decompress once it's on the HDD. I expect long install time and a lot of free space being lost.
Wow. I had no idea he was such a snob. How does he feel about the Wii, I wonder?Indigo_Dingo said:
