"They can be skipped, but you'll be missing out on some of the finely crafted examples of FMV footage anywhere in gaming,"

That pretty much sums it up. Hell yeah I will be watching.

Already posted, but thanks for the info. Thank God you can pause and skip. Though, conversely, it may sound strange, but I am looking forward to this game all the more. Three Godfather film's worth and a cool game all in one :P

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

Btw, nice wording in that story, "find yourself a nice cushion and plenty of teabags" Can these guys be anymore clueless about gamer slang?

MGS 4 home of the cushioned teabag?

I love cutscenes and the MGS series so I'll watch them no matter how long they are, but do they mean all cutscenes in the game TOTAL up to 90 minutes or do they mean one is 90 minutes another 10 another 2 another 40 and so on?

I don't get it; is this really that big of a surprise coming from Hideo Kojima?? Honestly, have you guess ever played and of his previous titles?? They're all riddled with lengthy cutscense; it's just what Mr. Kojima does!! He enjoys bring that cinematic flare to games. I'd actually be pretty surprise if he didn't take that extra blu-ray space to create massive cutscenes.

There's 9 hours of cutscenes in MGS4. This is a single cutscene that lasts 90 minutes. Probably the ending.

Christ!

I wouldn't mind if they wern't so, philosophical!

I might go to the length of having popcorn and coke lined up for the cut-scene, after all, there are films shorter than that!!!

Dont get me wrong dude, I love some story telling but I have stuff I have to do at any given moment. Cutsceens should be a max of 15 mins,

At least we now know why MGS4 has to use a 2 layer Bluray disc. When the guy said 50 gigs was to small I was stunned.

I will be sure to buy a PS3 now, Only because I have $400 in BestBuy gift cards, MUhahahahaha.

But it's still good that you posted in this thread even though you had nothing to say. But I don't understand if it's one cut-scene, it must be.. because if all of the cut-scenes are 90 minutes long combined then it's not that much.

I'd rather understand the game through cut-scenes than to play the game not understanding why the hell you're doing all this (like in HL2).

Sure! Why not! I'd break out a nice warm cup of tea and do some knitting while I watch.

EDIT: And by knitting I mean something manly, like fixing a car with a toothpick.

Whats the problem just trade off with eachother and whoever isplaying whenever a cutscene happens lay the controller down.

EDIT: And then once it's over make a grab for the controller before he does, lol :lol:

Thats not the answer. The best way to solve that is you and your brother start mowing lawns (about 6) and you should have enough to buy an extra PS3. Your most certainly welcomed.

Ok so if 90% of the game is cutscenes and there are 90 minutes of cutscenes then that sounds REALLY REALLY bad. This game is gonna be REALLY short then.

Edit: NM I just read that the cutscenes are adding up to like 9 hours. That seems more like it. I still stand behind my past arguments though that if they had used normal compressed audio you would notice no difference in audio fidelity and it would have fit on one single DVD9.
