 "Metal Gear Solid 4 Delayed in India")
Just as Indian gamers were getting over the debacle that was Grand Theft Auto IV’s delay, we now get word via Sameer Desai of Gamingindians.com that Metal Gear Solid 4 is not going to be released in India anytime soon (officially). In fact, rumor has it that the game may see the light of day over here only by the first week of July.
Once again this leaves us desperate gamers at the mercy of gray market distributors who are free to charge whatever they feel fit for this game (and God forbid they actually find out how sought after this game is).
As you all know, this isn’t the first time such a delay has taken place in India. High profile games like BioShock and Grand Theft Auto IV have been delayed here considerably while certain Ubisoft games like Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Assassin’s Creed have only released in India on the PC eons after their international release dates.
The bottom line over here is that if you’re a gamer living in India we strongly suggest you DO NOT depend on local distributors for your gaming needs.
We’ll keep updating you about the game’s availability as and when we hear something ourselves.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
