Title: I don't know whether this excites me or terrifies me. (MGS4)
Post by: KonohaShinobi on May 23, 2008, 02:50:21 PM
Apparently MGS4 will feature cutscenes that are nearly 90 minutes long in length  (http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/23/mgs4-features-90-minute-cutscenes-4-6gb-installation/). That's pretty ridiculous. I mean, I don't hate cutscenes, but god damn, 90 minutes? That's like as long as the average american film. Jesus christ.
Are YOU prepared for 90 minutes long worth cutscenes? Does this not bother you? Will this news make or break whether you will even buy the game (although all cutscenes are skippable and pausable)?
Discuss.

Glad to see he took the complaints about cutscenes being too long to heart

"That's not a total, that's the length of at least one of the cutscenes, individually"

QuoteBefore you set out on your mission, Snake receives a codec call from his old pal Otacon. The new Codec screen offers a full-color wide-angle view of your caller (but no image of Snake this time) that you can pan around, just as in MGS2. The big change here, however, is the ability to either fast-forward the message (that'll come in handy if Raiden's ladyfriend Rose calls to discuss her favorite monster movies) or rewind to catch key details you may have missed. Also, these codec scenes now feature full lip synching, and the U.S. version will also match up perfectly.

thank god they changed it.


And I doubt the longer cut scenes will be super long codec conversations.
