According to VGChartz, Metal Gear Solid 4 has sold and impressive 1.3 Million copies worldwide on it's first day. It's first week however is yet to be reported (because it's not over yet) but you can expect some pretty good numbers.
It's 12:02am here in the UK, meaning June 12th is finally here. If you were one of the lucky lot that got their copies early (I was, its fanastic!) then you've likely played a lot of it and know how amazing it is. For those at the midnight launches, don't forget to take lots of pictures! We'd love to see some. If you do get any please post them on the forums or send them into us via email.
Hopefully everyone else who has preordered MGS4 will get their copies tomorrow! After playing for 10 hours, I've got to say that it's well worth the wait.
It looks as though Play.com are sending out some copies of Metal Gear Solid 4 early. After being posted only yesterday, two of my friends have received their Limited Editions from ParcelForce this morning, as mine is said to be "Out for delivery", which according to the ParcelForce site means that it will be arriving sometime today. All of these early orders appear to be the Play.com Exclusive Limited Edition, so if you've ordered a normal one from Play you may or may not get it today. Got yours already? Let us know!
GameTrailers have posted some new, HD gameplay videos of Metal Gear Solid 4. The areas shown are all from the middle east, and include "Rat Patrol Gameplay", "MK.II Gameplay" and "Enemy Evasion Gameplay".
Please note that the player is god-awful, and this isn't really representative of the game.
Potential spoilers for anyone seriously avoiding them, but it's nothing to do with the main storyline. If you had any doubt on whether or not MGS4 is PS3 exclusive, I'm sure this clears it up pretty nicely.
Update: Looks like YouTube removed the video, so here it is from GT this time.
Here is another trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots from the latest issue of Famitsu. It doesn't show anything new, so its spoiler-free for anyone who has been trying to avoid any spoilers. It also shows a lot of remade footage that was shown at E3 2006.
Another perfect score for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots this time for PLAYER. Both PLAYER and Playr2 are being shown on Bravo 2, Sky Channel 154. You can see the review on PLAYER (which shows no footage that hasnt been in trailers) and you can also see the entire Laughing Octopus boss fight on Playr2 if you so choose. The review will likely be shown a few times throughout the day and will probably be recorded some time soon.
You can watch todays Metal Gear Solid 4 conference in Madrid, part of Kojima's tour around the world to discuss Metal Gear Solid 4, right here thanks to Elite Gamer TV.
Due to the massive demand for the Metal Gear Solid 4 80GB Playstation 3 bundle, amazon.com has been taken down by rabid fans no less. Thousands of MGS4 PS3 bundles were sold out on Amazon.com shortly after they officially started to sell them... seven minutes to be exact. The bundle went on sale at exactly 10am PST, and seven minutes later Amazon was left with "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable". This certainly has to say something about what kind of sales Metal Gear Solid 4 is going to see once it's launched on Thursday, things are looking pretty good so far and judging from the recent reviews (Metacritic score of 95) it's well deserved.
