Well as most of you must know MGS 4 has been put back for "Improvements" but how much better can you get from what I have seen it's going to be an excellent game already and I know we haven't seen everything but do we really need to see much else to know it's going be great.

So I throw this question to you people of gamespot, from what you have seen of MGS 4 how do you think it could be made better??

Framerate could always be improved. I noticed some screen-tearing in the videos, so that could use some more attention. It'll probably be lots of small improvements that add up to one big improvement. You know, small things here and there that essentially mean the game experience as a whole is better.

Two good points about framerate and shadows, but do you really think they had to cancel the worldwide release??

I suspect that general game design is complete, its probaly delayed because of programming and or marketing issues. I dont really know why the game is delayed, but there is always room for improvement.

[QUOTE="baller72"]RUMBLEP-Shug

Rumble was already implemented since TGS 2007! I don't think they're delaying it because of rumble. Since this is Kojima's last game and the final chapter of Solid Snake, I think Kojima and the whole team are making sure that the game is PURE PERFECTLY AMAZING TOP NOTCH BUGS FREE! This is the only explanation for it. Or they might be preparing a SPECIAL EDITION sort of like MGS2, you know with the "making of", or maybe soundtrack bundled or a CGI movie just like they did in subsistence or working on the online(which I highly doubt) or improving graphics, framerate, controls, menu, adding briefing, voice acting, interviews, bonuses, adding jokes, etc...

It's more than likely for technical improvements, baiscly more polish time to enhance expierence, i doubt its for actual extragameplay features, more than likely just polishing the game fully.

More polish time can mean the difference between a great game with allot of bugs or a great game with few to zero problems.

We have basicly only seen one level and im sure that was the most polished and finished level so its more than likely they need more time to get the full game to that quality.

Maybe they're waiting until the big rush of games is over in Q1 so they can have as many sales as possible? I mean according to IGN, Infamous, Burnout: Paradise, LBP, AND Killzone 2 are all coming out in Q1, which could prove to be serious competition for MGS4 (especially the last two). And more time for bug fixing is always a reason as well.

I want to see some revamped animations, there were a couple, mainly from enemy soldiers, that seemed a little PS2. Other than that, the game looks spectacular.

better shadows... i hate blocky shadows besides that im pretty happy. oo yea and meryl needs real hair not a solid block of hairbigblunt537

Seriously. That ALWAYS bothered me in MGS. I was always pissed that she didnt look the way she looked in her codec screen. Little nitpicky things like that rarely bother me but that block of hair just irked the hell outta me.

More realistic AI(better hearing ability, better awareness); better run and gun system; destroyable surroundings.

They are making it so it can play on the 260 AND PS3, thus ending the whole debate as to whether they will release a separate game for it. LOL just playing guy, jus twanted to cause some drama and see some super nerds get there panites in a bunch. They are probably just tweaking it to make sure little bugs and instances of trouble dont occur. Also, since SOME of you are determined to break every game you come in contact with, they have to make sure that the single player and multiplayer are hack free.

well the Japan release date is still the same, so im guessing western-market stuff like translations, and more polishing. and didnt kojima say that he will make 1080p if he gets rumble?

Honestly, as many have already stated I am glad to wait longer if it means it will be 'perfect'. Now that being said, if you think about this from Sony's business perspective, for me this sounds like it will coincide within the time frame I am expecting a price cut on the PS3 again. If that is true, cutting another $50 off the PS3 + release of: FF13/vs, MGS4 this will be a large boost to sales.
