Update: The reviewer for GamePro who has played through MGS4 has left this comment about the 90 minute rumor.
"I've beat the game twice, and am the author of the forthcoming [GamePro] review," Shuman said. "Ninety-minute-long cinemas in MGS4 sounds like an exaggeration. Like the other MGS games, MGS4 definitely has a cinematic quality. And yes, some of the cut-scenes in the game are elaborate and occasionally lengthy. But not a one, to my recollection, even approaches 90 minutes."
Original Story: According to the latest issue of PlayStation World magazine, Konami’s upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will feature cut scenes that run up to 90 minutes in length.
Although such lengthy cinematics have become virtually synonymous with the popular stealth franchise over the years, MGS4 is set to feature by far the longest of any story sequences in the series to date.
However, the publication does reveal that players will be able to pause or skip any cut scene in the game if they wish. The article goes on to describe the game’s story as “massive,” labelling it “the videogame equivalent of all three Godfather movies on one disc.”
“As you'd expect, you'll spend a lot of time watching cut-scenes, so if you found previous games' story exposition laborious, then you'd better find yourself a nice cushion and plenty of teabags in readiness for MGS4's,” it states.
"They can be skipped, but you'll be missing out on some of the finally crafted examples of FMV footage anywhere in gaming.”
Metal Gear Solid 4 is due out worldwide on June 12.

"The videogame equivalent of all three Godfather movies on one disc.”What? The Godfather is the greatest movie I've ever seen! Especially part 1 and part 2!

FMV? Did kojima decide to have cgi cutcenes instead of engine driven cutscenes? that new.
@Playstation_3
This game is about the story. And every MGS has had some crazy scenarios that you only could understand if you watch the cutscenes. Do you like playing a game without a coherent story?
I am sure there are plenty games out there for you. Might I recommend you trying out a wii perhaps?

This actually has me thinking of cancelling my order. I love the look of the game, but jeez, this is ridiculous.
Okay, you can skip them, but then you miss much of the story... yet I don't want to be sat there twiddling my thumbs for 90 minutes when I'm supposed to be playing a game.

Oh yeah ;D
Although I don't think one cutscene will last 90 minutes, although it might you never know. Personally I don't think that's the case, as mentioned before it's probably meant as the total length. I couldn't imagine people sitting 90 minutes before getting into any gameplay, that would be horrible (at least for some people) but it might just be so damn good it only feels like a couple o'minutes ;) Even if that's the case then I can't believe what I am hearing that people might not buy it because of it. That's totally ridiculous, we all know why we want this game. The story ! Atleast that's what I'm looking forward to the most:D
