This is about the WTC thing right?  Hmm, why would that affect the release of MGS2?!  Is this an excuse for him to buy more time ^^?

Well, I think it would help if they leave the WTC still standing in the background.

This is so dumb. Its just a game. If they make changes, in a videogame, because of something that happened in real life...Its just not needed.

This is a game.
Do they think terrorist will use MGS2 to train their minions??????
Why don\'t they look at other things influencing and giving people nightmares instead of a video game.

I gotta completley agree with you guys on this one. People need to stop being so sensitive about these types of things people will remember that horrible day wether they see it in a videogame or not.

you all forget the media issues here. If MGS2 is about Terrorism in NYC the parallels and simularities will draw negative press.

This is a much more sensitive issue then some of you seem to believe, and you can bet the reprocussions from this event haven\'t even started.

Konami has to be sensitive for the added reason that they are Japanese, and sending this game about terrorism in NYC may be misconstrude by a solid portion of the American public


Its a friggin videogame, and in comparison to what has happened recently it means nothing.

Konami has to be sensitive, and the rest of us just need to understand. THIS IS A VERY SENSITIVE ISSUUE

I don\'t know about you guys, but I\'m going to love this game even more because it involves terrorism.  And what do you want to do with those guys? KILL EM!  Yeah!

GUYS !!!!!!
don\'t let this sh!t happen,
M$ might delete the twin towers from their flight sim, but why?
What\'s next, congress will ban video games???? siting realistic/violent content as training simulators for terrorist??
Are you guys going to let a bunch of goat-fu@kers and old men in congress tell you what is good for you or dictate views to you?

Well i understand the reason why they are checking into this and all but i still dont agree with the fact of a delay

i mean come on its a game and if the media can show tons of video of the plane crashing and people jumping 100 floors to their death - then a videogame should be able to show terrorists

i mean its a game and the other is real life - there is quite a difference

hmmm... I realy don´t know what to say...
I love the game ! But to look at it and see the Twin Towers in the background... I realy don´t know...
We don´t know much about the game. Maybe there are parts of it playing in or near the WTC ?! Maybe they just delay the game until the dust lies down... it´s a form of respect !

At the moment everybody is collapsed for this act. In 2 or 3 months, things will be better.
