*UPDATED* MGS4 demo coming in February

Posted on January 22nd, 2008 at 07:24 EDT

Tired of waiting to finally get your hands on anything Metal Gear Solid 4? Well that time has finally been announced. No, it’s not the official release date of the title, but it is the expected month for the demo itself.

Expected in the month of February, PS3 owners will be given the opportunity to play through one magnificent level of MGS4. Hopefully, this will wet your taste buds and tide you guys over until the official release.

It is possible that this could be a video stage being played by Konami, much like the TGS video released earlier on the PSN. However, we're hoping it could possibly be a playable demo in the end.

UPDATE:

An editor for PSW has since commented:

"At the time of writing the article a Konami rep told us a demo, the demo we played in our office for the magazine article, would be on the PSN Store. It's finished, we played it, so something should be appearing this month. It could all depend on the game's final on sale date, if it has moved to May then a demo could appear later, possibly February."

sweet, sounds awesome. though the developers denied earlier that they were going to do a demo, all they would have to do would be to release us an earlier demo like the tgs demo that theyve already made.

I don't want to fully believe this yet...  He did say there would be no demo, so I don't want to get my hopes up yet...

Now all I want is a confirmation of a Limited Edition release.

Well maybe this was the real News they wanted to give us when the Packers won last week. My boys lost the the Giants tonight, how very sad!

Yeah, they lost to the Giants and that sucks. At least the  game was close. Anyway, if they release a demo for this game that's cool. However, NO demo will ever hold me over until the actual game comes out. I don't think there's been a demo I've ever played more than once. I just want the game!!!!!

If it is a demo, it will take a lot of my free time. Don't disappoint me Kojima, lol

nah they mean that there will be another video demo not playable haha i hate when they get us all pumped up for something stupid.

I thought they already said "no demo" due to: time to make sure quality is top notch for final project. EDIT: Well maybe Konami changed their minds, it looks like we will get a demo after all. Im very happy that we do get a demo.

Kojima Productions Team (Ryan Payton) said in an interview that they are too busy on the game to do a demo so there is none planned but regardless i hope what the magazine says is true.

But most probably it will end up being a video demo.

sweet. i'm going to try to get my router up and running. i hope gamestop will just be selling another demo disc for it. cuz i'd buy it for 10 bucks or so just so i can play it before it comes out

F**k, I hope this is true. If it's not I think I will die. EDIT:Thanks Konami, now that it's out of their hands, all we have to do is put the pressure on Sony to release it to the PSN.

Odd considering Konami said there would be no MGS4 demo.

Woah, didn't see this coming, I guess it was a fluke about it not happening.

I really doubt we'll see a demo. Also, isn't the correct word for that context "whet"? As in, "whet your appetite"?

My guess this is part of the MGS4 news onslaught that Ryan was referring to .

a demo, that would be cool but frankly i don't believe it, hope i'm wrong!

posted 9:25am EST - January 21st, 2008

There ain't gonna be a demo...bear in mind that magazines are sent to publishers a minimum of a month before they hit the streets...this probably was what people thought before Konami said there wouldn't be a demo...

 

Personally i would love one but i'll be buying the game one way or another so it's not a big deal.

Yes I hope this is true

There is a demo..... thats what these reviewer have been playing but normally those demo's are not released to the public. If it has been ok'ed then it makes senese that this demo would hit. Other than that it really doesn't seem like the dev team is taking away from their time on the full product to work on a demo.

Thank you, Hideo. You have made my month! DMC4, Turok, Dynasty Warriors 6, Condemned 2, & now the MGS4 Demo. Man, I wish I could take off the entire month of Feburary from work.

thats over 3 months b4 the release date, so it must be coming out sooner than we think.

I hope it's true....but it hasn't been confirmed yet....no one knows if there really will be a demo...and strange considering they said there wouldn't be one in the beginning....even if it was the playable demo that has been available that would be cool too.....but not holding my breath.

This is going to flop on the media player.

Isn't there supposed to be a "?" in the title,because it isn't a confirmation from the devs that the DEMO will be released in February,it just says the 'stage played here'.Because the title could lead ppl to believe it is an announcement from Kojima/Konami,when it is clearly not.

Edit:Oh,thanks for the update,this is probably the best news all week.

It'd be a smart move - they would sell a $hit load more copies by releasing a demo and not only appealing to the fans but newcomers of the MGS series.

AWESOME!!! If the demo releases in Feb how soon will we get the game? March?......April?
