Granted, the slice I'm playing comes from 'a few hours' into the experience - our ragtag bunch of environmental terrorists-cum-saviours of the planet have just procured themselves an airship, and Square Enix needs to ensure we all understand the guide rails that keeping this wobbly demo in place.

Following Sony's announcement earlier this week that it had "stepped away" from Kojima Production's previously PlayStation-exclusive "action espionage" Physint, a new report has claimed Sony's decision was the result of concerns over "budget, potential profitability and exclusivity."
