Here's something every game fan might want to think about when it comes to their favorite game. EGM's latest issue has the scoop on Metal Gear Solid 4's use of SIXAXIS game mechanics to liven up gameplay. Specifically, they've actually taken out certain mechanics, and with good reason.

Here's the all-important quote from EGM:

Over the past few months developer Kojima Productions has actually REMOVED several of the planned SIXAXIS mechanics from the game (like maneuvering Snake's Mk. II robot).

"I think the problem with this feature is it was severely overhyped," says Assistant Producer Ryan Payton. "It was talked up as Sony's answer to the Wii Remote. The trick is to use SIXAXIS sparingly and have fun with it. I don't think anybody wants to play a long game while consistently having to tilt the controller around. Rather, it's fun for the player when they're given a chance to use it in short bursts-- that's how we're approaching Sixaxis in MGS4."
