MGS4 Delayed yet again 
If you look at the LASTEST MGS4 trailers, they say "EARLY 2008". April and May would STILL be "EARLY 2008". Therefore, the 2nd quarter announcement could just be narrowing down the time frame, slightly.
If you had read this article, which was linked from the article stefc linked to, you would have known that 'Early 2008' meant no later than February. Why do I say that? Because the Japanese version of the trailer says "This winter". Since winter runs from December to February, early 2008 had to be no later than the end of February.
I keep saying it, you really must read beyond the first page.  If you would have read that article, you should have known that it was a guess. | | | To err is human...

If you would have read that article, you should have known that it was a guess. What was a guess? The translation from Japanese to English? I must have missed where it said the translation was a guess. Oh, maybe you mean the fact that 'winter' runs from December to February. Oh, wait, that isn't a guess either it is a fact. I guess you meant the fact that they used the word 'guess'. Technically it wasn't a guess...well, maybe an educated guess. It was a conclusion based on deductive reasoning. "This winter" begins in December of 2007 and ends at the end of February 2008. If we take both statements, "this winter" and "early 2008", there is only one logical conclusion...no later than the end of February 2008. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by your inability to figure that out. Wait, that was wrong. It should have been   | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | It was a guess about both of those trailers applying to the US. Winter translates just fine to English. If they did not use "winter" on the LATEST US trailers, it was most likely on purpose.
I don't think Konami changed the original "winter 2008" trailers for Japan at that time. I believe the latest Japanese trailer states something different. I will check this out. | | | To err is human...

Nice try 'spin doctor', but it isn't going to fly. stefc stated that the game was going to be delayed and you decided to argue that fact. I am not sure why you felt the need to do that, but you did. Because you did, I had to point out the FACTS that you were ignoring... Fact #1, the Japanese trailer stated 'this winter'. Fact #2, 'this winter' runs from December, 2007 thru February, 2008. Fact #3, the US trailer stated 'early 2008'. Fact #4, 'this winter', combined with 'early 2008', equals 'no later than end of February'. Even if you deny those facts, the article includes a press release from Konami that states, and I quote, "KONAMI had initially intended to release "METAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS" this winter..." So, if they initially intended to release it 'this winter', and they are now going to release it in Q2, which is next spring, doesn't that mean it is being delayed? It sure seems fairly straight forward to me. Again, I am not sure why you felt the need to argue with stefc. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I brought it up because it is the only game I'm really anticipating for my PS3 and am genuinely gutted its been further delayed, but A_S assumes that anything I say is an attack on Sony, because anything he says is invariably an attack on anything "non-Sony" or some pro-Sony propaganda drivel... |

#4 is where you went wrong. Did Konami combine "this winter" with "early 2008" in the US or Japan? NO. Therefore, you are making a LEAP OF FAITH. Leaps of faith are not concrete. That's the part you missed. hey A_S, you can rant, rave and argue until you are BLUE (!) in the face, it means N O T H I N G Konami has stated in their own press release: "KONAMI has decided to delay the title's release" What freak'n part of the word delay do you not understand??? |

That's the part you missed. Are you serious? Did you miss the part where I quoted the Konami press release? I guess you did because the press release, put out by Konami, clearly states, "KONAMI had initially intended to release "METAL GEAR SOLID 4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS" this winter..." Do you see what it says? THIS WINTER. I made no leap of faith as Konami admitted that they intended to release the game THIS WINTER. You really should read the entire post before you go off half cocked...unless you enjoy looking like an idiot. Oh, just in case you doubt the press release, it can be found here on their website. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

MS have announced the Xbox 360 Family timer to be released in "early December" which would suggest a date for the fall 360 update as features like this are usually added in the biannual dashboard updates. | | | | Last edited: by stefc |
