If a Famitsu scan gets posted by a non-regular J-Gaffer, always assume its fake. 2ch likes to screw with everyone, haven't people learned yet?

Darkpen · Feb 22, 2008

This actually isn't news. MGS4's release date was given to retailers sometime during the past holiday season, like either late december or early january.

While its not the exact same day, the "placeholder's" been June for a while now:

If anything though, this does confirm it more or less.

MGS4 and NG2 in the same month would be pretty epic. Perhaps too epic.

If the US audio is on the Japanese disk, then I'm getting two copies of the game.

Are PS3 games region-free? I should know that, but I don't.

I received no such memo.

Bah, the US is getting it 5 days later, the 17th. Good luck dodging spoilers. =/

Will avoid GAF like the plague between those dates then.

Danielsan · Feb 22, 2008

Will buy a PS3 in June if true.

June has been the tentative month for a while now. No surprise if this is true.

Sorry to derail but where is this from? Was the bus accident real?

Knight77 · Feb 22, 2008

It seems the japanese text below says "10 Years of MGS - a Hideo Kojima Game".

Anyway...which artwork is that? I can't remember it...

:lol sorry to say but that actually isn't news either... Gamestop/EBgames is constantly making up fake release dates and only very rarely do they end up being true or even remotely close.

BOOOO You are fucking evil
Seriously I would play R2 beta for weeks and not give a shit about the game it came with for some time.

XHitoshuraX · Feb 22, 2008

Well it's always been June...

So...

No idea where it is from but that bus accident is definitely not real.

yeah, I wonder who told you that, huh?

Guess what, all release dates given to GS are from manufacturers, not something they come up with themselves.

Can't. April/May is GTA4 month.

Uh-huh. And? Can you scan us some images? Does the scan of the page that was already posted have a release date on that page in the magazine you have?

Fainted?

Segata Sanshiro · Feb 22, 2008

Sorry about the wait. I wanted to check page-by-page to be certain.

That "ad" DOES NOT appear ANYWHERE in this week's Famitsu, with or without the release date.

Thread derailed. Thanks for confirmation. Lockity Lock?

SamuraiX- · Feb 23, 2008

Hmph. Should've known. Nothing relating to MGS4 in there either, I assume?

Well solved. Now I guess we have to wait the KP Report of next week. If the memory doesn't trick me Konami said they are gonna say the release date in the end of this month.

The only appearance of MGS4 this week is in the Top Ten Reader Anticipated. It's #5.

SamuraiX- · Feb 23, 2008

But where exactly did that artwork come from? An older edition of Famitsu? I doubt anyone could just draw that up themselves.

gray_fox224 · Feb 23, 2008

I'll wait for the official statement.

sprsk · Feb 23, 2008

I looked through Famitsu myself and did not see that.

I definitely would have noticed something like that haha.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
