UPDATE: Patch adds full installation option - Famitsu: Trophy Patch Coming for MGS4

[emmerich]

Thank the lord. I just recently got the MGS HD collection mainly because of the trophies and now this. What's good is I still have my original copy that I bought on its release

About time.

[Nitey]

Ohh my God. I'm there! Hopefully this is true, I'm down for the platinum, no matter how bizarre some of the trophies will undoubtedly be.

[emmerich]

I read someone suggesting they should put a trophy for booting up the game that reads "Kept you waiting, huh?"

It would be so fitting lol

[TGO]

A trophy patch is not a reason to replay one of the greatest games ever made, but it makes it oh so sweeter
Btw, this is up on the Konami Facebook page so its official

Kojima has announced it's coming in August. No date as of yet.

[Kuro]

Nice official confirmation can't wait to replay it again.

[konamild]

anyone annoyed that stuff you might have already done (e.g finished on hardest difficulty, got foxhound rating) will have to be done again to get a trophy?

[Kuro]

Kinda but thats cool with me it's a good challenge.

[Sir_Scud]

I found this great and hilarious at the same time. A few people I know have been waiting to replay this game because they thought the trophy patch would be just around the corner. I already did the hard stuff like BBE run, etc. Dunno if I will replay for trophies. For some reason, even though I love MGS4, I get bored trying to play through with those cutscenes.

Personally no. I've played through that masterpiece only twice, last time being a couple years ago, while eagerly waiting for a trophy patch. Sad, I know . But that time has finally come so I'll go back and enjoy the game again .

2 years ago: "We hear you." - yet nothing happened.

[konamild]

lol i suppose it was a fantastic way to end snakes tale (no pun intended). its been a while since i last played so i think ill be back for the trophies

[TDbank24]

It's never too late to add trophies to one of the greatest games this generation.

As if i needed another reason to play Metal Gear Solid 4 again!

[dc89]

YES!! NO MORE INSTALLATION PAIN IN THE ASS!!

On Konami's website they have added it as a feature for the 'Best Budget' version of the game thats being released in Japan. Kojima said, if you already have the game, you can patch in the features.

Hopefully everyone is reading this right, because people on GAF are getting mightily giddy!!

It's confirmed. Full install option is in the patch.

[Ariakace]

Well, Im sold. Ill dust off the old MGS4 for some trophies. Ive been playing through the MGSHD Vita version. Started with MGS 3, so maybe ill switch over to the PS3 version for Peace Walker, then go play MGS, then MGS 2 and MGS 4 when the patch is released. Been meaning to get around to replaying it eventually. good enough of a reason as any other.

[emmerich]

A full install too? It must be christmas come early..

[keefy]

Does it mean a full install of the 5GB parts soa round 20GB or the game as the whole i.e 50GB disc?

Would be nice to add the "update announcement" to the OP so we dotn have to sift through all the pages to find the link.

[ps3freak18]

Yeah a full install of that game would scare the living hell out of me. It will be close to 20-25 GBs. Oh well I will find the space just to play it over again. I miss that game.

[Kuro]

That's cool l'll make room if I don't have enough pretty sure I do though.

[emmerich]

I'm glad I recently upgraded my HD to a 320GB that I had in my old PS3.

not really, the instalations became smaller with each chapter, I'm guessing round about 15gb install

I just assumed that all chapters were around the same size. I remember deleting the data from the first chapter install and it was around 8 gbs. I figured all the other chapters were about the same size.

nah if you check the installed game data it becomes smaller, as low as 2gb if I remember

Kojima Productions has revealed a few more details regarding the upcoming trophy and full install update for the Playstation 3 exclusive title, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. You can check out some screenshots from the video game in the slideshow at the top of this article and the details below.

In their latest podcast episode, the studio revealed that you can’t just load your old save file and expect to earn trophies. Instead, you will have to replay Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Kojima Productions explained that this is done because the game created before trophy system was in place and that it will prevent players from downloading saves to exploit the trophies. As for the full install update, they revealed that the previous chapter-by-chapter install was necessary due to initial batch of Playstation 3 having small hard drives. The new patch will let you play through entire game with “quick loading times.”

I guess it's now safe to rule out the August release for the patch, hopefully September.

Why rule out August? Is there something in the link that hints at a later release?
