FiringSquad reports that no playable demo will be released for Metal Gear Solid 4 before the game ships. This comes straight from the latest Kojima Productions podcast, which also states that the game itself will ship to stores in early 2008. People attending the E for All Expo at Los Angeles will be the only people to play the demo, which apparently is a refined and English version of the Tokyo Game Show demo.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is the highly anticipated action-stealth game from Hideo Kojima that is said to be the conclusion of the series. It is exclusive to the PS3.
