Packers win, Payton announcement disappointing

Most of us felt that the announcement from the bet made last week by Ryan Payton would be pretty insignificant, and rightly so.  After waiting for what felt like forever in order to hear this "incredible" news, they truly came up short.

According to Ryan on this weeks podcast, the information he has chosen to leak is that Kojima is also working on three other projects that will hit the United States this summer.  Of course, he wasn't even allowed to hint or tell us what one of those products are.

The projects are expected to be news that Metal Gear fans will be able to get excited about, but we'll wait until those are announced before promising that.

Ryan has also let out that we can expect a chain reaction of news, information, screenshots, and release dates soon involving Metal Gear Solid 4.  So that's at least one thing we have to look forward to.  Other than that, this podcast felt very disappointing in comparison to some of the things that could have been announced.

    come on people, what did you expected for an announcement that derived from a bet???  It wasn't an event or anything, just some stupid bet so it seems right.
    Besides, 3 games for this summer alone is pretty significant if you ask me... don't people keep complaining about delays and not enough games?  Well there you have it.
    Also, this kind of prooves the 20 unannounced games from the rumor.

    Nice.. .. i don't think it was a bad announcement. It could have been bigger, but it's limited what you can reveal when it's not something that has already been run through the pr machine.

    he probably wanted the packers to lose so we will be dissapointed in him not being able to tell us anything, now that he has to keep his word he let some lame light out and were still dissapointed haha.

    That's nice kojima is releasing 3 new projects this summer perhaps for the 3 next gen gaming consoles. Or maybe 2 exclusive ps3 psn titles and 1 wii title.

    3 projects in the summer.  Possibly another MGS for the PSP, online MGS for PS3, and finding someone to replace Ryan Payton's job for making stupid bets and giving back next to nothing.
