Metal Gear Solid 4 delayed, possible release in early 2008
Kojima states that, for the good of the game, MGS 4 will be delayed
In a brief announcement, Konami has confirmed that the release of key PlayStation 3 exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has been delayed until early 2008. It appears that concerns about the quality of the game were raised, so the 200 developers working on Metal Gear Solid 4 will spend this additional time polishing the game to a neat finish, as all Kojima games are.
Touching another subject here, MGS 4 and Final Fantasy XIII are PS3 exclusives that Sony puts a lot of faith in showing to the world the real capabilities of the Play Station 3, and a little delay is surely going to hurt Sony too. The good news (if any) is that Kojima wants to try a worldwide release for this title, which means everybody will get it at the same time: Japan, Europe and America.
