MGS4 European date same as US News
PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
Konami has announced that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will be released in Europe on 12th June as well as in the US.
That also means that Metal Gear Online: Starter Pack will come out at the same time.
Word comes courtesy of a German announcement, which specifies the date and adds that there will be - and we're translating here - a "free accessible beta" for MGO.
Konami UK has confirmed the date, clarifying that "Full details of the public beta program will be announced shortly".
In the meantime, get excited with our MGS4 and Online first impressions.
Thanks to our chums at Eurogamer.de for the heads-up!

You can't deny that the PS3 is having a lot of good releases in a traditionally slow half of the year. Most of this stuff would be reserved until Xmas period on the 360. Gears2 isn't out until november but PS3 is getting many big hitters over the next couple of months, this is the turning the point my friends, when games start to count again for Playstation.
Obv GTAIV is the biggest release cross platform but exclusive vs exclusive this first half of year is definitely going to the PS3. |

@ sharpfish
I disagree mate personally I can't see much coming out worth shouting about that I can't get on 360. For me though MGS, Time Crisis 4 and the fact I don't want to wait a couple of years for a decently priced and finished spec BR player have sealed it for me (although like I said no way until DS3 comes packaged). |

Until Sony meet my 3 prereqs for buying a PS3:
1. Larger HDD - something like 120GB. 2. DualShock3 included as standard. 3. Backwards compatibility to help me de clutter my front room. I'm not going to bother otherwise. Besides, MGS 1, 2 and 3 have kept me busy all this time and I've just got Subsistence for a nice cheap price, so I'm going to enjoy all the extras for a long time to come. Goodbye, Sony. You were good the first and second time but I'm not sure about your third attempt... |

All we need now is SCEE announcing a re-supply of the 60GB version PS3 for PAL territories and Konami releasing the MGS Essential Collection over here. Then I'd be sold on a PS3, but not without those two conditions.

@ bad09:
Just look at the gameplay videos, it looks like it travelled in time from the 80s. It's ugly and appears to play like a turtle on grease.

LOL! I dunno mate I think it looks cool but I am TC bias though! I just LOVE any gun game and 360 has none (come MS it can be done you know!). Add MGS and it's more reason to get into bed with Sony now. My god what am I saying!!!!!!!! It's weird, I wasn't that bothered about MGS before but now it's actually getting close (about time!) I'm a little excited. Still love Snake I suppose....SNNAAAKKKEEE!!!!!! |

Oh shut up... I rather play MGS than a thousand blandless FPS. I mean, the gameplay looks excellent... It doesn't look crap or... from the 80s -_- You're another 360 fanboy who can't stand PS3 getting at least one good game =P |

@ Headbog "Cue loads of anti-PS3 fanbots stating how desperately they dont want to own a PS3.... "
It really does my head (as do you sometimes, man!) if BC was that important they should have put their hands in your pockets last year. The one reason I bought my US PS3 earlier than I was planning is because I knew BC was going and I was prepared to pay a little bit extra to get it. They say: "Until it comes with rumble, BC, 5 free games and a blow-job, no sale Sony!" Translation: "I really don't want a PS3 no matter what they offer, and I'll make sure everybody knows just how much I don't want one, sonylol!" |

TONYgr, you'd better keep editing, your post still looks like somebody threw a tin of Alphabetti Spaghetti at the screen.

Excellent job, Konami; I'm not going to point fingers specifically here, because there's certainly more than one company who could learn a lesson from this, but if they can get a simultaneous release for something as dialogue-heavy as MGS, why can't everyone else?

Please don't talk about Rizzo like that. |

Ohhh it's so exciting, MGS 4 vs NG2, both out on the same day aren't they?
Obviously I'm not deluded enough to think NG2 will sell any where near the same amount, but it's the only one of the two I'm remotely interested in. No I'm not saying MGS4 is shite, it's just not my bag. I'm sure it'll be lovely for the fans. |
