  I hope they're not 90-minutes long, the one near the end of Metal Gear Solid 2 was bad enough for me.

    The one at the end of MGS2 was 45 minutes long ... imagine sitting through one that's double the length

  Play the Xenosaga series, then you'll know what uber-long cutscenes with non intermissions are all about. MGS4 is likely going to have a few long cutscenes, but I doubt it'll have anything that reaches 90 minutes straight. If it's 90 minutes total however, or around that, i'll actually be a bit dissapointed. I'd expect at least 120' for a PS3 game.

    The total, for the whole game, is about 9 hours (540 minutes)....
    
    I'm sure they won't actually do 90 minute cutscenes, but I'm sure 25/30 minutes isn't out of the question....

  I kinda hope that they aren't 90 minutes. It's just too long. What if you just want to play the game for a little bit? Some people may never have 90 minutes to just sit and play (or sit and watch in this case)

  Well does it acutally matter if they are 90 min long or 30 min long if you are gonna get the game then get it.

    WHY do people forever insist on stepping into a discussion and asking, "Who cares?" It obviously matters because we don't want to sit through a movie in the middle of a game.

  My thoughts exactly iLLmatic. I do indeed believe that the cutscenes will reach 90 minutes. It's something Hideo would have no problem doing.
  I just hope it's not all stock footage of New York City with Snake talking about the philosophy of life like in MGS2. That bored the crap out of me. I've no problem with long cutscenes if they are worth watching. I would'nt sit through a film if I think it's crap half way through so this'll be no different. If I start yawning during a cutscene then I'm reaching for the Sixaxis and pressing the X button.

  The point is, they're skippable.

    No, that is not the point. Actually that has nothing to do with it. I don't skip cutscenes in any game I play, because thats like only reading half a book and then bullshitting on the summary. The point is, when you're into a game, a lengthy cutscene can take away your adrenaline. Now, as a long time Metal Gear Solid fan, I have no problems with longer-than-most cutscenes, but 90 minutes is overkill. After a scene was done, I wouldn't want to play anymore.

      Well, in any case, I'd take the word of someone who's played the game than a magazine who's talking about a preview or something. Odds are the longest cutscene is around 30 minutes to 40.

        If you'd read the article, you'd know that both the PSW magazine and the Gamepro guy have played the game.

  I may be well happy to see 90 minutes of MGS cutscenes. But it seems a little too much, however.

    Not "90 minutes of cutscenes". They're talking about "90 minute long cutscenes"
