MGS4 TROPHY PATCH CONFIRMED?! IS COMING?!

[jdnation]

Your sources better be right Andrisang! Your Japanese honor depends on it!

"Metal Gear Solid 4 will get a Trophy patch, according to an interview with Hideo Kojima in this week's Famitsu. The magazine does not reveal a date for the patch, but MGS4 is scheduled to receive a budget release in in August, so the timing could coincide with that.

The interview also reveals that Konami will hold a Metal Gear Solid 25th Anniversary Event on August 30 at Tokyo Midtown (the office complex that houses Konami's main office). There will be some sort of announcement at the this event, Kojima reveals in the interview. This announcement is apparently related to the vision he's previously shared about a game that connects people. Peace Walker's "Transfarring" component served as a test for this vision.

Unlike our other Famitsu reports, which came from our usual source, Sinobi, we're not totally sure of the source for this particular Famitsu report. We should have confirmation later in the day."

I am going to LOL so hard if Konami adds in MGO trophies... considering the servers are shut down and all...

[gouda]

Andriasang updated their post, they're saying it's confirmed. Other people are saying there are scans of the article out there, but I haven't seen it yet.

I wonder if the new release of MGS4 will have MGO on the disc at all. Maybe the trophy update they're gonna release for old versions of MGS4 will remove it from the main menu.

Well this is a huuuuge fucking surprise. After constantly saying it won't happen finally after 4 years??!! What took soo long to do it, especially after im sure most people don't care anymore?

Oh well i guess this'll give me that extra push to try and BigBoss the game, ill look forward to the creative trophies

Nah, MGO won't be patched out. It might not be included in the budget version however... Or the data will be there and Konami will just lazily remove the option from the main menu. If Konami cared they might've at least patched it to be made Peer to Peer, but that's more work for no monetary incentive.

All the transfarring talk probably make me think that MGS4 Vita will be announced and this trophy patch comes with transfarring.

Budget version has trophies out the box, releases in August so that's likely when the patch will appear. Also teases of a Metal Gear Solid game releasing in 2012. Since RISING is 2013, I'd bet this will be MGS4 port for Vita with transfarring. But heck, it could just be another collection.

Though one wonders how they'll fit all that stuff onto a Vita card, obviously stuff will be cut like sound etc. Maybe multi-carts which are possible. Or Sony's gonna deliver MGS4 on a larger Vita card just like it was the first game on a 50GB blu-ray.

If the patch doesn't retroactively award trophies, that would be turds. Unlocking the Big Boss emblem was an ordeal, not to mention going back and getting all of the miscellaneous ones to boot.

I will get myself wild on this one, none off this might happen but since this is the internet i can write whatever the hell i want.

possibility level:
99.9% annoying trophy icons during cut-scenes
20% it seems the ban is over so we might get a tappy fix.
10% all those cutscenes that sums up the plot from mgs3 will be removed since mgs3 is now native on ps3 so there is no need for them anymore
0.2% lots of fucking gameplay

predicted file size: 15MB-450MB

also i didn't expected this: LOL THEY REMOVED MPO FROM THAT TIME LINE and added MG & MG2:SS

[Gentapo]

VR missions for MGS4 would be awesome

[jdnation]

I highly doubt they're putting that much work into this... Kojima's got project Ogre. The rest of the team was working on RISING which is now at Platinum and they probably got moved to Ogre. A strict and dirty port of MGS4 to Vita, and probably 360 for all we know with compromises, is the most likely scenario going on here, though that's just speculation... I don't think any big work has been done to make a 'MGS4: Subtitle' expansion, particularly with MGO being gutted.

[Old Shinobi]

I really have no idea what is going @ at Koji Pro.. I'm not really intersted in trophies, but I would gladly replay MGS4.

[Ravi Singh]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Acid_Snake]

NO! for god's sake, NO! I already got everything in the game (except for the snake eater song) I don't want to re-do it again like the HD collection!

[Overclockwise]

So, I have to earn the Big Boss emblem again for a trophy?
Splendid.

NO MORE FUCKING INSTALLS!!!

The game's new PS3 the Best budget version will also feature support for full data install. This means that rather than having the game install data at the start of each chapter, which is how the game currently works, you can opt to have the game do a full install at the start of play, and have no more installations for the rest of the game.

they also launched this usesless website but it has A NEW SHINKAWA ARTWORK god bless that it wasn't a full cgi

If that was added as part of the patch... I would be very happy with that.
