MGS4 european collector edition

"Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced two innovative
initiatives for the forthcoming launch of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of
the Patriots for PLAYSTATION®3 on June 12th.



In advance of the game’s release, Konami has unveiled a pre-order
campaign, which will be allied with key retail partners throughout
Europe. Consumers who pre-order a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 can
receive an exclusive DVD entitled Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2. This
seven-part documentary details the origins of previous Metal Gear games
and the evolution of Hideo Kojima’s epic series. This gripping
documentary offers a valuable insight into the series and the history
of Metal Gear’s iconic hero, Snake.



Scheduled for release on June 12, Konami will also produce a Limited
Edition collector’s package. Destined to be a highly sought-after
compilation, the package includes a soundtrack CD, a 6” Old Snake
action figurine, and an exclusive ‘Making Of’ Blu-ray disc. The Blu-ray
disc contains two high-definition documentaries which offer a candid,
behind-the-scenes look at the development of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns
of the Patriots, with interviews with series creator Hideo Kojima and
key Kojima Productions personnel. The Limited Edition will carry a
£79.99 RRP.



“Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is rightly seen as the
stand-out title for 2008, and we were determined to come up with
something special for its launch,” commented Martin Schneider, European
Marketing Director for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “With
interest so high, it is only right that we reward fans of the series
for pre-ordering the game, and the Metal Gear Saga DVD is a stunning
look at how the series has evolved into the phenomenon it has become.
Likewise, the Limited Edition is a celebration of all things Metal
Gear, and will be prized by those who buy it.”

The big news is the return of Hideo Kojima at Paris this June 9th

3 years ago on March 4, 2005 the day after the release of MGS3 in Europe Hideo Kojima came at FNAC (a Cd's,video,book store in France) Paris St-Lazarre for a meeting of dedication and after an hour he is letting go a hundred people outside.
I especially remember having waited 3 hours in the cold for nothing: (indeed
to be sure of meeting him that day you had to camp in front of the shop since 8am )

That day we were about 500 people, a few weeks later Hideo Kojima apologised publicly on Game One channel (a French VideoGames TV channel) and promised it will be back very soon in France.

3 years after I am fulfilled here the official annoucement in french :

• Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots
• lundi 9 juin 2008 16h
• Jeux video
• Espace rencontres

A l'occasion de la sortie de "Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots" (Konami), rencontre/dédicace avec le créateur du jeu, Hideo Kojima. Aux commandes de la puissante armée d'Outer Heaven, Liquid Ocelot se prépare à déclencher une insurrection au Moyen Orient. Malade et vieillissant, Solid Snake est le seul à pouvoir l'arrêter. Ce sera sa "dernière mission". Sur invitation, à retirer à partir du 1er juin à l'accueil de la Fnac Forum, dans la limite des places disponibles.

I'll be there for sure

another comment from kojima, a correction.

Note im posting his correction not what kotaku said, you can read there
reactions if you wish.
http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/kotaku/fu...otaku-is-wrong

"On the internet, there's stuff saying "Hideo Kojima" isn't satisfied with the PS3. I'd like to talk about that today. I just got back from Paris and did 15 interviews and everyone asked me about it, did I say that. The meaning of what I said has totally been changed, made totally different. Today, I'd like to talk about that. Why did it turn into that? When I'm doing an interview, I answer in Japanese, and I can't control how the writer will interpret that into English... What I say is then translated in English, and the writer then changes that into their own words and writes that. So, right there, the meaning of what I say changes a lot.

I am Japanese, so I try to be modest. I'm an especially modest person. I dont wish to brag about it to say "I am the amazing Metal Gear guy" or to say "This is the best one", just like how Americans brag stuff like this... That's why i interview in Japanese, and Mr. Sai (translator) translates my side of the inteviews very well in English. Westerners do not have a tradition of modesty. And so, the statements are translated correctly, but the original meaning is totally different. And those statements are on a totally different website and the meaning totally changes. Regarding my recent comment about my disappointment with MGS4, the comments derived from the article "MGS4, Inside The Biggest PS3 Game" to the post "Hideo Disappointed with MGS4." It's become totally different. This was in English, and here's where it gets strange. Japanese readers then translated that in Japanese and put it on their websites, writing things like "Oh, the PS3 is dead." Then that spread through the internet and now people are writing things like "Hideo Kojima Is Making MGS4 on the PS3." This is no good... It's funny how others think "Did Hideo really say that?" then ask me, and my answer is obviously "No" but then... I guess I am responsible for all of the articles...

Now I'm going to say what I really wanted to say, and this is what I told those 15 reporters:

Let's say this developer is making hardware, in this case a game, and that hardware is at the level of a car. And when looking at the specs, the developer claims the car is able to fly. Now there is no stopping when you say, "This is a car that can fly." When you claim that it can fly, the speculation grows from "oh so it can FLY?!!!" And the developer would set his goals higher. The specualtion is that if the car flies, then it should reach a MACH speed...but it doesnt stop there...it'd go beyond the specualtion of then "it should go into space!" with all the excitement around, and the developer would go deeply into making the car going into space... however, he'll come up to the public and say the car reaches the MACH speed, but it fails to go into the space. But he shouldn't give up, because for a car to even reach a mach speed and go into air is revolutionary. I wished to convey my thoughts like that, but I guess it didn't work very well.

Recently I've been thinking about not giving interviews. That's not my job. My job is making games... The next time I interview in America, I will just say "MGS4 is the best, the end." It's not cool for a Japanese to speak so blatantly, and I don't want to say that. But if I don't, things like this [above] can happen... If you look at MGS4, I think you'll understand... MGS4 isn't exactly my property, so I don't have a total control over it and sometimes I get confused with it. Some may be disappointed the way I say things, but I do release the game with confidence. In fact that what I have been doing, not just this PS3 game, but my previous PS2 titles. I always reached for the higher goal and I try to go for it... Things like this often happen with Japanese newspapers. Where they take only the choice quotes. They don't change what you say, but the meaning's different, and the meaning changes. I'm always careful while giving interviews. Even in my company, im learning a lot about media training, but I wanted to do more than just that and here i am with the interview, but if things like above keep happening, I won't do anymore interviews. I don't get paid for these interviews at all. [jokingly] I won't do them anymore! I've decided! I'll stop doing my podcast! Like that."


I thought kotaku's reaction statements were rude so I left out, but the url above will allow you to there statements.

[Terjyn]

Let's say Kojima's original quote was true.

How does "disappointed with the PS3" equal poor quality anyway?

I was disappointed when I bought a 3.2 GHz PC and it wasn't as fast as I was expecting. That in no way says that it was not a significant upgrade over the old 1.8 GHz computer I had prior.

This is exactly like what he says, I was shooting for space and all I got was atmosphere. It still doesn't mean that I'm stuck on land.

Note: I am not trying to claim a PS3 is a 3.2 GHz PC and a 360 is a 1.8 GHz PC. It was just an example.

[saprano]

+1 Amazing read, i agree with everything he said about americans. kotaku's just mad cause the truth hurts, and so are there readers.

Exactly! he even said in his original comment that he made progress.

[Cordre69]

Sweet merciful Lord of the internet, 56 pages before I even get to the forums?!
Has anyone commented on the specs? Is it 1080p/60fps? Is it 5.1/7.1? Details?!
