to pre-order this week at my local store... i'm not big on pre-ordering but this game is worth it. hopefully there's a CE edition

mikeslemonade6715d ago (Edited 6715d ago )

Impressive, and it's 3 months from release.

Bleucrunch6714d ago

I am buying two copies of this game. The limited edition and the standard edition. The standard will be framed on my wall never to be opened (not even removed from the plastic). This is how much I love metal gear and want this game.

sonarus6715d ago (Edited 6715d ago )

ps3 might have the lowest attatch rate but if there is one game every ps3 owner shouldnt do without its mgs4. It won't be easy for mgs4 to sell a million day one but if anygame can its mgs. If mgs4 can't do it then seriously speaking no game on ps3 can. Solid advertising will get it done. In the first week they can definetly sell about 2-3 million. mgs4 does well in pretty much every region so it should make it easier.

chrno66715d ago (Edited 6715d ago )

It may really sell like a million on day one.

edit: one bot disagree with me and possibly take away my bubbles. You can take away my bubbles, but u cannot take away my freeedom!

jiggyjay6715d ago (Edited 6715d ago )

Never going to happen.. The PS2 had 100+ million owners and only about 8 million bought MGS2 and 3.. Also the fact that half of the PS3 owners are just movie buffs who bough their PS3 because it was the cheapest blu ray player around is going to make it even less likely that this game will sell 1 million on its first day in N. America. I could be proven wrong but I wouldn't be suprised if MGS4 doesn't sell well in its first week. I wonder how many pre orders for MGS4 they have out.. Its probably no more than 50k world wide.. Compare that to how many pre order halo 3 had. wasn't it 4-5 milllion! I'm not a big halo fan but damn that's pretty dang impressive!

Edit-PS360! Either way how much total sales did Halo3 made in launch day? What was it $175 million.. the biggest total sale in video game history supassing the previous #1 which was Halo2!! lol! for all the 100 million plus playstation 2 owners not even a PS2 game has done that! the original Xbox only had 20 million or users when Halo2 came out! KZ2, FFxIII, MGS4, that homo game LBP will not be able to do that at all!

Xbox is the BEST6715d ago

will never sell a million day one.
If it was on the 360 it would thou

angel6046715d ago

you bots are predictable to these msg4 posts..like a moth to the flame or like a 360 and rrod

PlayStation3606715d ago

Oh, that rumor of it having 4-5 Mil pro-orders was proven false before the release. It was more around 1-1.5 mil. But even so, that was no small feat.

ravinash6715d ago

It will sell a million...because all your little xbox mates are going to rush out and buy a PS3 to play this.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle37d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde44d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy44d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga45d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199245d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga44d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman44d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger44d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box45d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion44d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7245d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7545d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit45d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14945d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7745d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
