Read an interview a while back that talked about that very length (6-8 hours as opposed to 30 - 40 hours for PC.) I'm not sure if those PC numbers are accurate, as I've never gotten into the Civ series because it just seemed too intimidating. CivRev excites me because of this. I'm definitely part of their target audience.

Which is why I'm puzzled by all the Mangod talk now. 1UP was really talking about how they brought in Shawn Payton (?) to make the game more west friendly and all that. As somebody else noted, I thought they were giving it the RE4 treatment. 1Up/Mangod really had a misleading sales job. Nobody outside of an MGS fan is gonna wanna play this.

Why are people using review scores of other games from the magazine issue and the magszines history to prove something, you do know every review is not written by the same person right.:lol

This issue is super super big, so they're probably leaving it on the backburner until closer to release. (they haven't covered Fable 2 in an extended preview either yet)Kafel said:
I imagine they want to give it a cover as well.
I was thinking the might 9 Grid. congratulations Codemasters, Frontier, Kojima Productions
Regarding the people complaining about the score, a preview in Edge does not indicate what sort of score they will give it. More often than not they're written by different people.

I haven't been really following MGS4, but 90 minute cut scenes? Holy hell!

I don't know dude maybe because the gameplay and basic control functions are probably the same? That sounds logical to me. :lol ?

And HOW do you know this, exactly?
Because Edge said so?
Paracelsus said:
From real life? People do either love or hate it. I don't know anybody outside of message boards who fall in the love category. And anyone who's even remotely on the fence and hears 60 minute (or if you believe Edge and 90 minute) is gonna end the conversation right there.

So Nintendo take all sorts of flack because they produce games which don't confirm to the narrow-minded convention of the industry (even though said titles are still very interactive), but Kojima is held up as an example of all that is right by the Geek Elite even though he expects you to watch, doubtless among myriad others, two cutscenes of campy, Metal Gear style shennanigans which are each almost an HOUR AND A HALF long.

GTA4 got a 10 from everywhere, including places that gave MGS4 a 10. Shock!
Plus it deserves it, GTA4 is awesome, but enjoy your populist backlash.

OH NO A CINEMATICAL GAME! LET'S ATTACK IT BECAUSE THE INCREDIBLE SAVE THE PRINCESS NINTENDO STORIES ARE ALL I WANT!
Great score for MGS4. Im buying a PS3 when its released.
BUT WHAT ABOUT HAZE???
why is everyone ignoring this? Ex-Goldeneye team? This is more proof that these guys were NOT the masterminds behind Goldeneye.
Doak, YOU ARE SLIPPIN
Haze is a piece of shit, confirmed by Edge and EGM. And its a UK company so an Edge 5 is shamfull

Listen, I don't mind. As long as the people who accept this VERY DIFFERENT sort of game accept some of Nintendo's VERY DIFFERENT type of games like Wii Fit, Wii Sports etc. They're all valid, they all have a right to exist as they are, they all provide different experiences. I just want some fucking consistency.

Exactly the score I was predicting from EDGE.
Prine said:
It's not a natural law that if you make one awesome game, every game of yours thereafter will be awesome.
Free Radical was formed by a portion of the goldeneye team. That original team no longer exists. Even if it did, there'd be no guarantees about their output just because they made goldeneye.

It's not a very different game. It's a franchise with great presentation and story while it retains the ingenious gameplay. Most new Nintendo franchises are merely games so your comparison is kinda terrible.
So are you guys just going around in a pack lamblasting any non perfect score and the people who aren't challenging the credibility of previously well liked sources? It's really surreal I logged onto GAF yesterday morning and it was the exact same people saying the exact same things, are you taking shifts?
The fact of the matter is, MGS has been said by every review to be the best one yet, which means fans of it are going to love it to pieces, and that includes myself and others who aren't defending it like our first born, whether you believe us or not. Reviews are being critical because it's a long running series and has a highly developed story and gameplay formula. That means heightened attention to faults and imperfections where as first iteration games like Boom Blox will be uncompared.

"When we ask whether the underwhelming commercial response to his previous games would mean he would consider sacrificing an amount of his artistic vision in order to create something more appealing to a wider audience, there was some lengthy discussion between Ueda and his ever-present translator (read: instructed to keep him quiet)
"I am aware of the artistic sense of the product I'm producing but that is not the goal throughout," says Ueda. "That's just part of the game's content, but I'm also more interested that the product will be well played in the future. I guess we are currently looking at a lifespan of two and a half years for a game in Japan, whereas I'm hoping for the consumer to be able to play this content over and over."
And with SOTC starting life as a network game, it's not a stretch to speculate that this might be on way in which Ueda extends his next game's life.

I challenged the credibility of Edge the day I started playing GTA4. It's when it sunk to me that the once impartial Edge has become a joke. I'd cheerfully accept an 8 from the old Edge but not from the idiots who've been rating GTA4 and many other games a 9 or 10 lately.

I love how people on GAF feel that they can review and score a game before actually playing it :lol
Nice to see Lostwinds get some recognition though, the score is spot on IMO (Having actually played and finished the game myself)

I don't think it's been mentioned anywhere in this thread that the multiplayer wasn't being reviewed. Either Sorry Sony is talking about Eurogamer or he's fabricating.
