Looks like the prayers of the die hard Metal Gear Solid 4 fans have been answered, as new box art (picked up by PlayStation Lifestyle) features that word that we’ve always wanted to see: Trophies. Yep, alongside ‘Multiplayer’ and ‘Voice Chat’ is ‘Trophies’, seemingly confirming that the updated, cheaper version will support everyone’s favourite silverware upon release.
The box art that features the word is the US version, mind, the European ‘Greatest Hits’ re-issue doesn’t sport the same text although it’s been out for over a year and the box-art for our version hasn’t been refresh since. We’re assuming, then, that this is a brand new re-print of the disk, and thus features a few tweaks. Let’s hope that the Trophies appear as a patch for existing owners, too.
Update: we’ve just been told that the word on the box is a misprint. We’re chasing this one up.

In all honesty if there were going to be trophies for MGS surely they will come when Kojima releases the “Subsistence/Substance/Whatever” version of the game? I mean there have been the special editions for the previous instalments so why not for MGS4?

I guess though it did only take a couple of years to release the special edition version…so we can expect that any day now then?

This would be a helluva challenge to platinum! I like to think I’m quite good at games but I can’t do any MGS on anything over Normal difficulty!

it is with great shame that i admit to not finishing MGS4. Fell asleep during several of the…movies…and just couldn’t be bothered.
Maybe if they ever release HD remakes of the other games in the series (i only finished the first one) and these trophies turn out to be true, i’ll get back around to it. Maybe.

Come on, Kojima. Don’t be a dick.

I saw this on twitter this morning, though to myself – no way, not going to happen, wish it would. I bought this for £19 not long after release. only finished act one, never started act 2. trophies would give me added incentive to play it, but im am hoping to get round to it eventually either way!

This has happened before, it’s a misprint.
