The first game I played at this year's Tokyo Game Show was the PlayStation 3 demo of Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. It's a good demo, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Unfortunately, most of you won't get a chance to experience it.
In the latest Kojima Productions podcast, Konami's Michael Shelling made it pretty clear -- E For All will be the only chance non-press gamers will have the chance to play the game before its release next year. Kicking yourself for not picking up those E For All tickets, aren't you?
If Sony were smart, they'd strong-arm Konami into getting the impressive demo up on the PlayStation Network before release. If anything, having a demo running in retail stores might even sell a few systems. Perhaps that sound we're hearing is that of a checkbook opening up in the distance ...

(cries for the lack of demo)
Perhaps the game isn't as good as we all expect it to be?
Sure, there was the beta, but only with Crackdown, much like that zone of enders/MGS demo thing.
