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

[dc89]

Metal Gear Solid 4 will get a Trophy patch, according to an interview with Hideo Kojima in this week's Famitsu. The magazine does not reveal a date for the patch, but MGS4 is scheduled to receive a budget release in in August, so the timing could coincide with that.
The interview also reveals that Konami will hold a Metal Gear Solid 25th Anniversary Event on August 30 at Tokyo Midtown (the office complex that houses Konami's main office). There will be some sort of announcement at the this event, Kojima reveals in the interview. This announcement is apparently related to the vision he's previously shared about a game that connects people. Peace Walker's "Transfarring" component served as a test for this vision.
Unlike today's other Famitsu reports, which came from our usual sources, we're not totally sure of the source for this particular report, but we should have confirmation later in the day.

Other Japanese sites are reporting it too now which makes it more probable.

Maybe Kojima went to see ND to learn how to patch Trophies:



No doubt though, Kojima being the master Troll he is will add Trophies for Metal Gear Online which is no longer playable.

Excellent news! I've been putting off playing "MGS4" on my new username in the hopes of getting trophy support first (same with "Heavenly Sword").

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Wow awesome! I guess I'll be getting the Big Boss trophy again lol. Great news though!

[DarkVincent07]

If true, It's pretty strange that after like, 4 years NOW they decide to patch it :/

They should re-release it anyway

This is the news I've been waiting to hear owned the game acouple of years, maybe longer and ashamed/hang my head when I say its still in the wrapper

That'll change this August though!

Too little too late for me. I already traded the game, no intention of buying it again just for trophies.

Same here. Why now after this game being 4 years old?

Who cares why now. The game costs $10 at Gamestop. I am picking up a copy tomorrow.

It would be sweet if ALL the older games were patched with trophies to make it entirely consistent.

Heh, I still have my copy of Heavenly Sword. After, what 6 years, it'd be strange to finally get Trophies for it.

Ditto.

I kept the game for a couple of years waiting for trophy support, before I traded it in. Not buying the game just for trophies.

I hope to god this is true! I have tried playing MGS4 multiple times since it came out, and I just can not seem to do it without trophies. I know it is sad........But I just can not play games that do not offer trophies.

There better be a trophy silver or gold for watching those damn unskippable cutscenes!!!! Lol seriously though that's good glad I kept my copy.

I remember falling asleep during the final cutscene lol. That shit was like an hour long.

Trust me, I'm the same way. You're not alone lol.

lol guys you can skip the cut scenes by pressing start, and then it will give you the option of pressing X or the square button to skip.

Yeah I dont think I can sit through those again just to get more trophies. lol

[Kuro]

It was literally that long I remember pressing all the buttons and getting agitated because it was so freakin long.

[daLa]

Oh my days! it's never too late for this.

[John25]

Glad I still got my Launch day copy .but will be gutted if I have to do a Big Boss play-through again just for the plat

[*goo]

If there's a trophy for watching all the cutscenes, I'm out Lol. Done it once, not doing it again!

It does beg the question, why now? My theory is that there's going to be a Vita version and Kojima is patching the PS3 version so that transfarring will work.

MGS4 portable with some extras does sound cool.
