The rumor spread fast through out the internet like wildfire. But gamepro editor who has beaten the game twice said that this rumor is not true. He said that the game does have a lot of cinematic, but none of them come close to 90 minutes.
But on the downside, the game will have a mandatory 4.6GB install.
From CVG today comes a pretty wild rumor about Metal Gear Solid 4: the penultimate title in the Solid Snake series will feature rather lengthy cutscenes.
How lengthy? Try 90 minutes. And that's not 90-minutes in total, that's a 90-minute cutscene.
Trouble is, it's not entirely accurate. Will MSG4 have lengthy cutscenes, like the 45-minute one in MGS2? Yes, says GamePro's own Sid Shuman, but nowhere near 90 minutes.
"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.
"I think it's safe to say that the '90 minutes cinemas' claim is a pretty big exaggeration," he told GamePro News.
Unknown at this time is whether or not the cutscenes, 90-minutes or otherwise, are skippable. UPDATE@1:15 EST: Cut scenes are skippable.
That said, there's one more rumor out there today that looks to have some weight to it. A purported pic of a MGS4 display case revealed that the game could come with an oft-maligned PS3 mandatory install. In this case, it appears to be about 4.6GB.

4.6GB is a bit much, but yeah, like it was said before, it makes more sense on this game, than on DMC4 or the crappier games out there >_>
gg
Cause some people don't. Whether it should be optional isn't the point in my post. And sadly I don't see them ever making an optional install. And since thats the case atm, delete your old ones. Big deal you have to re-install it the next time if you delete it, its not like your going to be impatient like the first time you got the game.
Im just showing the ridiculousness of their complaining when there is easy methods to solve the problem.
It has nothing to do with not playing the game over. I mean I can't see people playing DMC4 and LP when the PS3 most biggest exclusive this year, MGS4, is about to be released.
Yay.
While it is a lot, I'd say, not much of a pain.
So that's 20 minutes to install the game and then 89 minutes to watch the first cutscene. You'll be playing the game 2 hours after inserting it into your PS3. Yay.
