If that 90 minute cutscene thing isn't stupid reviewer exaggeration then that's just so hilarious.

Personally, I don't care about how LONG the cutscenes are, as much as how entertaining they are. Can a video game really capture my attention with non interactive content for more than even an hour? Konami would have to jump the hurdles that even hollywood constantly fails to be able to accomplish this. Can I really get this from a GAME?

or, a better question, can it be possible to have a great game AND a great movie combined in one? My conscious tells me at least one will fail.

on a lighter note, it would be very surreal to watch a 90 minute cut-scene and then suddenly be dropped back into the game like nothing happened.

sorry i only play 9/10's and up.

The 90 minute cutscenes thing sounds like bullshit, but if I know when they are I'll just get some food and a beer and kick back like it's a movie.

It'll be a while before I play this because I haven't got any of the next-gen consoles yet, and the 360 is definitely the first one I want to get. But I will play it eventually, whether I have to borrow a PS3 or not.

Is there any possibility of a substance/subsistence style port to 360? Or is this totally PS3 exclusive?

it's probably gonna stay ps3 exclusive, maybe go to pc. Maybe. They used up an entire dual-sided blu-ray, so they would have to use SIX dual-sided DVD's for the XB360.

Probably not gonna happen.

This is about as exclusive as you can get, they're really hoping this picks up PS3 sales. You might as well ask for Halo or Super Smash Bros Brawl on PS3.

I bought a PS3 for this and GTA4. When MGS4 is released I will be proud owner of a 24" 1080p compatible Samsung monitor too.

Ever so glad I didn't buy an FPS360 last year
(that doesnt matter anyway cause I can play on one of my housemate's 360s if I ever feel the need)

Konami went behind Kojima's back and announced a 360 version but it's going to run about 400$.



You're better off just buying a PS3.

it is not physically possible to port this game to 360 without it being 20 discs long and the textures reduced to less than half their size

Isn't 24 quite small dude??

It doesn't matter much if it's sitting 3" from you.  I have a 1080p HDMI tv on my desk and I couldn't want anything bigger that's an arms reach away.

Not for a monitor, methinks.

That's a shame about the port, I forgot about Blu-Rays capacity compared to HD-DVD's.

Still, I'm not keen on getting a PS3 for whatever reason (probably price and the fact I'm more interested in the other two) so I'm gonna wait and hope for a PC port or something.

It's DVDs dude. The X-Box 360 only uses its HD-DVD player for movies, and it doesn't support games I don't think, which is why I said they'd need 6 dual-sided DVDs (8.6 gb per dvd)

If they used Dual sided HD-DVD and stuff (they wouldn't, very few people bought HD-DVD players for the 360) then they'd only need 2 HD-DVDs, and that would be more possible.

But sales would suck.

Right now, half the sources confirm and the other half deny it so maybe the half denying it were so caught up in the amazing storytelling (lol) and didn't notice the time...

I don't think I've been so excited about a game since.... GTA4.

This summer = the summer of excellent games

@Afura:
24" is pretty big for a PC screen - two ft from corner to corner, 1920x1200 resolution (so 1080p chops 60px off top and bottom). The reason I bought it is so that I can have both my PC and PS3 rigged up to a screen with a button for changing input. Samsung I am getting is about £280 ($560 USD) and comes with 3 year warranty. Bang for buck

Compare that to a £1500 HDTV - no thanks.

Well, Lost Odyssey used up 4 DVDs so I mean adding two more wouldn't be killer. Lots of people bought Lost Odyssey.

The problem with Lost Odyssey was that the American packaging was shit: 3 DVDs stacked on top of each other and the 4th in a paper sleeve.

man it doesn't even look that great.

like what is all that space being used on!!!
