Updated Metal Gear Solid 4 Will Feature “Full” One-Time Install, In Addition To Trophies

Konami has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 4 will, as we said yesterday, be getting a trophy patch.

However, further details have since emerged, pointing out that there’ll be a “The Best” version of the game, budget priced, which will allow the player to install the full amount of data at the start of the game, rather than having to pause and wait for the game to painfully install each individual chapter as you get to it in the story.

The official listing for this new release of the game suggests that this “full install” option will only be available to this new budget re-release, which is likely to be a Japan-only re-issue.

Regardless, there’s definitely going to be a patch for the original versions to activate trophies. It’s not known whether or not they’ll be retroactive depending on your progress or whether you’ll need to play through it all again, but as the sheer number of comments in our article yesterday highlighted: this is absolutely great news.

It’ll be out early August.

  1. Konami took their time adding trophies to this game didn’t they?

  2. Well I’m just glad they finally did it. Will make for a very entertaining playthru. I played through it many times before but trophies will be very welcome!
