MGS4 reviewers told to not mention install size and cut-scene times, says MTV

May 30th, 2008 @ 20:29

MTV’s claiming that journalists reviewing MGS4 in the US were told to not mention the length of the game’s cut-scenes and the size of the title’s PS3 install by Konami. From the site:

I’ve been told by two gaming media sources who asked to remain anonymous that Konami representatives had been asking print reviewers to keep some technical details out of their reviews, namely the length of the game’s cut-scenes and the size of the game’s installation on the PlayStation 3.

I’m already getting rather weary of MTV’s “TRUTH EXPOSED! PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW” journlism. If this pious brand of page-hit bait is going to continue then it’s another corner of videogames ‘journalism’ that I can confidently ignore.

Gaming media: report NEWS. Don’t report NON-NEWS.

Got it?

Why hasn’t the MGO Beta been mentioned at all?
