Speaking to Kotaku, Metal Gear Solid 4 assistant producer Ryan Payton has denied earlier reports that Metal Gear Solid 4 features custscenes approaching 90 minutes in length.

"I'm surprised nobody has stepped forward to debunk this rumour," said Payton. "There are no 90 minute cutscenes in MGS4. The ending is long, but 90 minutes is a gross exaggeration."

Metal Gear Solid 4 will be released on June 12. Look out for our full verdict on the same day.
