Many rumors have been circulating recently about a possible Metal Gear Solid 4 demo being released on the PlayStation Network. However, Konami has now dismissed these reports as false.

The demo, which is currently playable behind closed doors at the Tokyo Game Show, may never be released on the PSN, according to Ryan Payton, a member of Kojima Productions. Speaking with IGN, Payton commented that, while it was an interesting idea, the company has no plans to release such a demo  at present time .

Be sure to stay tuned for more information from the Tokyo Game Show here at PSU!

    and why the heck not? I havent even seen TGS 07 game play yet

     

    I've read that the enemy AI is a bit lacking in the intellegence part

     

    how the heck Ryan Payton ever got into Koji's flock is something that will alway boogle me

    We need the game not the fKIN the game show. Evene i got bored of that $HIT each place Hido whatever his name is he just putting game show, or just making his game famous. Go FFFFFF Offffffff man, we got bored of that $hit. Release the game and finish it so, everyone can have fun.

    WTF? If there's a playable demo why not just release it for others? Im not an idiot, I know it's just a demo and not finished so I won't moan about the AI or controls. Just want to play it, and if there's a working build at TGS, they could easily put one on PSN.

    Because it is obviously not polished enough to their standards for them to release it to the world...also Syphon_Filtey I did not understand a single word you just said LMAO..try speaking english next time ;)

    Hopefully we get a demo before x-mas.  By then they should be able to release one that meets their standards.

    please some respect for Hideo .. as Dave-The-Rave said, it wasn't planned and it's probably not polished enough. And probably never will bu until the last moment.

    I prefer to wait more and be sur MGS4 to be the system seller/killer app I hope it will be.

    LOL...I agree with you mystik4106...a MG demo's was one of those rumors that you knew was not going to happen....and why should it,it is an established franchise and Kojima never let's the fans down.

    Didnt people "just want a HS demo"? Then when it was released all I hear was how much it sucked. I don't blame him for not releasing the demo. People will say they know its just a demo but if you look at comments and board posts they say otherwise.

    i hope they eventually release a demo later in the year, like after ratchet and clank demo comes out and maybe after uncharted does, who knows, i do wish for it though.

    well they did release MGS2 tanker demowth ZOE....so they could do the same with MGS4, just pack it into another game or something...

    I'm not dissapointed, its not as if we'll never get to play the game. When O want to experience MGS4 for the first time, I want to do it with the full game not in the demo where you just spoil it for yourself when you get the full version.

    Its not any other game where you need to check it out to see if its any good, this MGS4.

    I went like 1/2 year without internet (I was in Eritrea for 3 1/2 months as part of The UN ) Thank god I left before the **** hit the fan (haha, please don't be offended by that joke) I hated it. I remember one time I had arrived very late (Base), I was tired and it was practically midnight. a client comes and tells me I have to go back to the City to resolve yet another issue. I looked at him dead in the and slamed the door in his face. Eritrea is actually quite a nice place (oh **** what was I talking about?)

     

    oh yeah I'm just hearing about a this now so I can way I never knew about Home, and white Knight Story and the like. I've been in the dark since 2006. and  all of a sudden boom all these great games. I guess what I'm trying to say is turn off your PS3 for a while and get another hobby you ****ing losers!

    That demo's probably like 3 gigs, no ones going to want to download it! Even if it's MGS.... well okay maybe a few people but still, that's madness.

    Hmm, maybe because the game won't "amaze" like everyone think it will.  Just release the full game, and hope people buy it on name recognition.  Nice

    I'm not entirely sure why they're not releasing a demo for MGS4, but it could be because they are trying to fix the AI issue. I hope they do come out with a demo. You never know, they may release one sooner or later.
