The game itself is a server in Japan. Whether in English or Japanese.

However, the purchase of the licensed importer of the same players, the Japanese version of the English players and players can not Versus.

If you need to play games with your friends, you must purchase the same language version.

Sega Saturn has wrote MGS4 spoilers

[sonarus]

sega saturn pm'd me with spoilers. Luckily, i was quick enough to see it coming after reading two words...liquid ocelot:D. Gonna have to try harder to spoil the game you hoe

[Tomdc]

hang on, is it seperated by language or continent? i dont wanna be playin against french, germans or spanish... but then again some people might because they have foreign friends, this is ok for americans but not europeans...

[kwicksandz]

Previous mgs games have been locked, as well as the mgo beta. So if your looking to pick up import a different countrys special edition you may wanna re consider because you will be stuck playing with strangers =/

[Xakep]

But a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet, or possibly someone who wants to kill you, it's 50/50.

All past Metal Gear Online and BETA was Region locked. This is not surprising.

I am glad they region locked due to all people that imported from e-bay to have it before release date.

The problem is MGO is going to be sold as a separate product. Will gamers welcome a multiplayer lock? It def. makes it harder to find players in the middle of the morning when you have a gaming urge.

My COD4 multiplaying gaming sucks though because I'm red bar most of the time (I'm in asia) -- so this might be a good thing.

Same language version?

So does that mean (being an Englishman) that I'll still be able to play my US mates?
I have an Aussie mate too. Will I be able to play him?

And what about my friend in Germany? He's in a German language speaking country (obviously) but he is an English speaker?

[Agriel]

MGS4 and MGO are only in English and Japanese as far as I know, so this is just langauge locked more then region lock. If you own the japanese version you can play on english language servers. If all the servers are in Japan any way there is no point in lock EU and NA to different servers

[Sieg]

what??? i dont get to play this with my Japaneses friend??

[Chuck Norris]

Just buy two. This game is worth more than the $60 price tag to begin with anyways.

[Gun_Senshi]

Chuck Norris will roundhouse kick the servers and make it region free.

right Chuck?

[Mc Fadge]

Perhaps it's to make full use of the team oriented gameplay they want to make? There's no use being on a Japanese server yelling "COVER ME!" only to hear the baffled conversations of other players.

[Blackcanary]

hE IS LEAVING MGS4 SPOILERS ON EVERY PAGE TO DO WITH MGS4.

REPORT THE [email protected]@ HOLE.

[agentace]

great so we still get stuck playing all the noobs in America

[YogiBear]

The noobs over here in America have been playing Metal Gear since 1987 we'll be able to handle you. lol

[gambare]

there will be less lag issues, just remember when infinity ward opened the regions, it's a lag fest if you fall in a other side of the world server.
