    Someone needs to DIE. Someone german. Who was shouting "Run steve RUN!" And any people named Steve who may or may not have jacked the demo need to be hung upsidedown in front of wherever it is E3 is being held.

    Technically no, the ! is red and the ? is white. :P


    And also, they didn't get any source code or anything like that. Just a 1 level playable demo.

    I bet there's gonna be a MGS3 demo anyway though. I mean look at how well Zone of Enders sold. Like 60% of the people who bought it never even played it, they just played the MGS2 demo.

    I guess all they have to do is run through their list of applicants for German's aged 19-21 (Or whatever it was), one of them with the name "Steve" then start cracking heads.

    You'd think they'd have some sort of half-decent
    security measures in place at a big event like E3.

    Considering they take full names and addresses of all applicants, also that it's populated mainly by press and the games industry, i don't think they were entirely expecting someone to be so dumb.

    Sucks for the MGS guys, they were clearly trying to preserve a level of secrecy about the project. Hopefully these shinanigans don't end up doing them much damage, but if I understand the video game industry correctly, we can now expect a year long delay on the realease date <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Why would MGS3 be delayed?

    The only reason MGS2 was delayed is cause originally arsenal gear crashed into the world trade center and they had to change it. (actually i'm just making that part up, they never did reveal WHAT they had to change about the game that caused them to delay it a month or two, but they did mention the WTC used to have some part of the plot in the game)
