IGN fell for it.

Oh my. Oh trioly sad.

I think some of these gaming "news" sites should hire some real journalists that will actually try and validate stories by actually calling the sources, like Konami. What jokers.

IGN have always included rumoured and unannounced titles in their listings, so it's never been a positively accurate account. I can't imagine why they're so flip about it, but there it is.

Still, a job well done, NeoGAF. Cheers.

Looks like they can't even delete things right either

Ohh and they added, "This rumored release of Metal Gear Solid was erroneously reported and does not exist."

:lol

What do you think happens at IGN when these things go down? Do they get yelled at? Avoid eye contact with each other for a few days and pretend it never happened? I expect it's the latter unless.

I bet the person who added it was so excited he/she would be able to tell the other staffers.

I sometimes wonder if they actually think about the story before typing it down, poor IGN.
To my knowledge, there was no story written. Just a database entry. And there are lots of rumored games in the database. It's a database.

OMG!! This is just rich, wow...the power GAF has...is unbelieveable, Triology? Just awesome. I heard, no wait...it's official:

Somewhere, Japan


Konami will release Metal Gear Solid 4 on the XBOX 360 exclusively through it's Xbox Live Arcade Service and split up in downloadable chapters. Prcing has yet to be announced but Peter Moore had this to say about the deal. " **** Sony up their corporate asses!! STFU you dumb ****S, OWNZ youz all" Sony declined to comment on this story. With the newly annouced MGS : Triology, Konami has determined the winnar of the next gen wars.

I actually think IGN lacks the legal rights to outright delete stuff from their DBs. I asked to get my account nuked, wiped, sent to hell and never to be seen again, and IGN responded with something along the lines of "we're sorry, but we no longer have the means to delete accounts"

They do it seems.

Fluid Acid is flowing no more :(

Looks like they've left the Triology there as a monument to the power of GAF.
