It's just a rumor, but we thought it would be interesting to see if anyone else had noticed what MTV Multiplayer has been made aware of. Sure, initial Metal Gear Solid 4 reviews are glowing, but did Konami have a hand in limiting what could be said about the game? Apparently, Konami has asked initial reviews to neglect mentioning install times and cut scene length when grading the title. Probably out of fear they would be seen as negatives and detract from the game's score. But some reviews mentioned them anyway. An install time would probably detract from the score slightly, but cut scene length is really more of the reviewer's opinion anyway.
If we could sit through the Xenosaga titles, we're sure MGS4 will be easy enough to handle. Then again, if you're used to Counterstrike, it might be rather irritating. Who knows if this is true or not, but when you're reading reviews for the game over the next few weeks, keep your eyes peeled for mentions of install times and cut scene lengths.
MGS4 may be end of Snake, but not the end of series
Haze initial reviews are not promising
