It seems that the tech companies will never be able to keep up with the demands of a Metal Gear Solid game, with Hideo Kojima stating in a Famitsu interview that Guns of the Patriots suffered cuts in order to fit onto to a Blu-ray disc.

At 50GB, the Blu-ray offers nearly six times the storage capacity of a DVD – but it's still not enough for the demands of Metal Gear Solid 4. Earlier last week the game's assistant producer Ryan Payton confessed that the American and European versions would not carry the Japanese voice track due to storage limitations. Hideo Kojima further elaborated on the issue and stated in a Famitsu interview, kindly translated by Kotaku, that, "There's not enough space. We always talked about where to cut and what to compress."

It's already known that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will be dialogue-heavy – to an extent that could well outstrip its quite comically verbose predecessors. But the possibility of the amount of chattering outstripping even a Blu-ray disc is quite terrifying. Brace yourself for an earful come June 12.

Dear God. Finally some confirmation on this, from Kojima himself. Things were actually CUT OUT of Metal Gear Solid 4...most recently it was confirmed via a Kojima-camp podcast that the different regions of audio would NOT be included on the same disc in each region (a la Uncharted), often considered a common culprit for stealing a lot of unnecessary disc space on the Blu Ray games for PS3.

But Kojima just confirmed to us that things were "cut" and probably some serious, standard regulation compression took place along the content lines....most notably, the entire Metal Gear Online will come on a different disc altogether.

Moreover, Metal Gear Solid 4's cutscenes are enacted ENTIRELY in real time on the game engine as Kojima confirmed as early as E3 07 during a demonstration. A common criticism of the "filling of the disc" on MGS4's end was that it was full of space-filling pre-rendered cinematics....not so.

However, IGN pokes a jab at the single worthy space-filling aspect that is most assuredly included in all its uncompressed and hours-long glory, the audio.

So, online mode on a seperate disc, confirmed dual-layer Blu Ray, confirmed content cuts, confirmed compression, and NO region-free dialogue.

At the very least....can we all agree that this game is absolutely going to blow PS3 owner's lids when it releases this June?

In game Engine, sheesh. Did you even read it? It's the Audio that filled most of it up.

I just finished the flaming thread about if COD 4 is overrated. how this game is just like other cod games, and wasnt very innovative. WTF, what other game lets u customize weapons and the greatest thing IMO ever made, u can shoot threw walls. how can nobody mention that. that adds an element to the game which is unherd of. im just saying not everybody is going to like this game but give credit where its dew. COD4 is the greatest FPS of all time.cLAssic_BLUE

[QUOTE="Banjo-Kazooie_3"]Fall out boy, panic at the disco,my chemical romance but i guess all you people have a much better opinion than me and only post non mainstream bands or old bands because its cool to like them.effthat

or it could be because they are from the punk genre as opposed to the sub genres of punk (post punk being the genre you are listing). It isn't that we necessarily dislike the bands you've listed. I am a huge fan of My Chemical Romance's first two albums. They just aren't punk bands or aren't as close as some of the other bands listed.

Hell, I listed Against Me! and they had decent success two albums ago and their most recent album was being played on MTV the other night when I was watching some dating show with my fiancee. I listed them because their early stuff was filled with punk ideals and even their more popular and poppy tunes of today carry reverberations of that.

Punk is going to see a bit of a revitalization in the next few years. Young musicians are looking at todays bands and then being turned on to their inspiration which in turn is being ingrained into their ideals. The folk/punk genre pairs up the ideals and craftsmanship of the singer songwriter with the ideals and angst of the punk movement. So you get a much harder line in the topics and darker tones that come straight out of the troubles of the world's underpriveledged(sp). In a way it's a new genre, in a way it's the same old punk with a (greater) focus on musical composition (something that post punk brought about anyway).

Anyway, you're lashing out at people for their taste in bands because they're listing punk bands because the anti-cultural movement has shifted to a cultural movement so in a weird way it isn't punk to listen to punk. It's irony at it's finest and Sid Vicious would be pumping himself with even more drugs if he were here to see it.

You know, someone tells a funny joke, and you elbow nudge the person next to you, or slap him on the back, or give them a gentle shove. Me, I like to kick the person in the nuts. "That's so funny, I'm going to kick you in the nuts!"JustPlainLucas

Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, The Ramones, The Dead Kennedys, and Green Day

In no order.
