A report doing the rounds is suggesting that Metal Gear Solid 4 will have cut-scenes approaching the length of a modest movie.

It is being said that MGS4 "has cut-scenes (note the plural) that approach the 90 minutes mark." Insanity, surely!

Looking at the sentence, it can be read in one of two ways. Either the game has several cut scenes that individually approach the 90 minute mark, or several cut scenes add up to close to 90 minutes.

Our first inclination was to believe the latter and assume that the writing was purposefully ambiguous to lead us to the former conclusion. Having 90 minute cut scenes does, after all, seem insane. But... MGS2 had that epic cut scene that trawled on to over half an hour...

PlayStation World reports, "MGS4's story is massive. The videogame equivalent of all three Godfather movies on one disc".

Either way, it will reportedly be possible to skip through or pause the cut scenes, meaning that you won't have to sit through them. Unless you want to understand the plot, of course. Should MGS4 actually have cut scenes of 90 minutes, will you sit through them? Let us know in the Forum.
