Metal Gear Solid series has been known for its lengthy cut scenes, but its next chapter, the anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriot, may set a new record in that aspect with cut scenes spanning up to 90 minutes.

That's an hour and a half, almost the length of a full feature movie.

The news comes from the latest issue of PSW magazine, whose editors played and finished the game.

"MGS4's story is massive. The videogame equivalent of all three Godfather movies on one disc", says PSW magazine. "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."

Fortunately, in Metal Gear Solid 4, cut scenes can be skipped but, according to the magazine, " you'll be missing out on some of the finely crafted examples of FMV footage anywhere in gaming."

That was just put on there to takeup the room on the BluRay to have an excuse or whatever. There are more ways to fill in story than with fmv cutscenes.

they didnt use it as an excuse, they did it because they COULD. Microsoft blames itself for not being Blu-Ray, and sure i do agree with you that story can be told in many ways without cutscenes, like other original MGS games but have you seen any of the cutscenes already shown from PS3 and MGS presentations? Its really awsome, they didnt just use the space because the cut scenes are very well put together.
