Within a week, a trailer and 3 TV Spots for MGS4 have been released. Konami has certainly been busy bees. Out of the 4 medias, ‘Courage is Solid’ trailer would have to be the most appealing to the MGS Fans. More locations, more characters, more details, more everything crammed into a remarkable voice-overed 2 minute trailer. If you don’t plan on purchasing MGS4, then this trailer will quickly change your thoughts into a sudden urge.

With the remaining medias, 2 of the 3 TV spots show some basic game play footage reflecting off the PS3. It’s nothing really special that we haven’t already seen from the Assassin’s Solid trailer and the 15 minute game play demo. The other TV spot is a commercial staring Solid Snake consuming some Regain.

Bizarre footage has reached the internet that many gamers may find hilarious. The footage is a trailer for an 'altaired' version of MGS4, with Solid Snake being replaced by Altaïr (main character from Assassin's Creed). As the footage progresses, Altaïr is attacked by a Gekko, revealing himself to be Solid Snake. What on earth is going on you ask? Well all you can say is, April Fools from Mr. Hideo Kojima!

With the joke being over, many fans got an in-game glimpse of the Gekko’s in battle, and how you'll need to survive their deadly attacks. As well as a short preview of how the gameplay will smoothly transition into the cutscenes, and vice versa. However, the ultimate question is, where was Snake standing at the end of the film clip?

Yes, it's true. The world famous ninja from MGS1 will be assisting Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However... he won't be playable. He is a part of the new Assist Trophies system. These are items that you collect in game and then use to call upon these characters. So when you're playing as Snake, and you obtain this item, you can release your Assist Trophy. And then Gray Fox will suddenly appear to aid you in battle.

It's true, Konami are producing a new MGS: Digital Graphic Novel for the PSP. The storyline will be based off their 2001 PS2 game, MGS2: Sons of Liberty. It's also going to focus equally on Raiden's as well as Snake's views during the Big Shell events. Unlike the game, it was mostly Raiden's view. Again, like the prequel, it will feature the same unique and eye catching illustrations from Ashley Wood. As well as that, this one will have full voice acting!

We all know that Snake is being featured as a character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but I was actually kind of shocked at this. Nintendo actually using something from one of their rival's upcoming games.

Nintendo put Snake in because he got his big start with the company, so I was expecting some music from the older games, but I was surprised with this.

"War created these ugly beasts, but beneath, they are gorgeous women." - Hideo Kojima

The latest MGS4 trailer to hit the gaming world was shown at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. The trailer amazed the audience with the arrival of a new batch of bosses named, "The Beauty and the Beast" Unit. The members of this unit are composed of: Crying Wolf, Laughing Octopus, Raging Raven and Screaming Mantis.

The trailer explains that these beasts of war weren't always like this, but were beautiful women that had severely suffered shellshock from the battlefield. As the result, they were encased in these mechanical suits so that they may cope with the reality of battle.

Hideo Kojima later revealed in a conference that this unit was based on real life beauties from around the world. He also stated that this is a first for the Metal Gear series to use motion capture equipment to transfer real people into a game. The models that were used for these beasts are, Lyndail Tarvis, Scarlett Chorvat, Mieko Rye and Yumi Kikuchi.

Jan 27 2007 - MGS4 Pushed to 2008?
In IGN's PlayStation Predictions: 2007 Edition article, they believe that MGS4 will be delayed to 2008. Here is what it says:

    "It's the news that nobody wants to hear, but after a hell of a lot of development time already, Hideo Kojima will delay his highly-anticipated final chapter of the Solid Snake story so that it can receive "more fine tuning" -- particularly in the online multiplayer department. I expect to see it pushed back to a Q1 or Q2 '08 release in Japan, while the American and European debuts are held back until quarter number 4.

    Sadly, nobody at Kojima Productions or Konami Digital Entertainment will break the news to anyone until late in the summer or beyond."


Though, it's to be reminded, that this is simply speculation and has not been confirmed in any way by Kojima himself. We'll just have to wait and see if this turns out to be the truth.

Recently, the previous rumour that Metal Gear Solid 4 was going to be ported onto the Xbox 360 seemed to pick up heat, and a lot of sites started to report it. One of the first to heat up the rumour was the website Noooz who a couple of days ago reported:

Earlier this week, the information of Metal gear's non platform exclusivity was imparted to me by way of a dev source close to the team who cannot be named by pain of death. It's coming a few months later than the PS3 game, but it's happening folks.


With an inside source, it really didn't look good for Sony who had recently lost other exclusives such as GTA IV and Assassin's Creed.

The story was quickly taken up by joystiq, CVG and 1UP.

Although it was quickly debunked by Konami who came with the following statement (to CVG):

Konami has no plans to bring Metal Gear Solid 4 to the Xbox 360 at this time.


The statement itself caused even more speculation as to whether or not the final three words meant that it may appear on the Xbox 360 eventually or not. Many different sites and magazines have come up with different theories. Microsoft fans love the news and welcome it with open arms, where as Sony fans hate it, and refuse to accept it.

What's the truth? Unfortunately, I can't be sure and neither can the next person, not unless we hear it from the horses mouth. However, in an interview with Kojima about MGS4 in EGM of this month, it mentioned how the 25GB of space of the Blu-ray was actually being filled very quickly with HD graphics, voice overs and gameplay. If the interview is anything to go by, it may actually be hard for them to port over the game to a new system without compromising on the quality of the game.

Lies, rumours and assumptions are ripe at this moment, and with no comment from Konami, we're left to guess what Konami will do... 		By Krunal

    Kojima Productions has surprisingly announced that the Japanese servers for Metal Gear Online are scheduled for indefinite shutdown by the end of this year. You may be surprised to know that this isn't the first but the second country-wide server shutdown for Metal Gear Online, the first to experience this were the Koreans on October 2nd. Whilst there has been no official word on the matter yet, speculation amongst fans suggests that North American servers will suffer the same fate sooner or later.

    To prevent unexpected disappointment, Metal Gear Online fans have gotten together and created a petition to either prevent this server-shutdown from happening or for Kojima Productions to make the Metal Gear Online hosting tools available for public use in effort to keep MGO up and running. Please take a moment to click the link below and sign the petition if you do not want MGO to waste away.

    We now have the 6-minute gameplay trailer of Metal Gear Solid 4 that premiered at this year's Tokyo Game Show! All footage is 100% new, and gives us our first glance into the gameplay of MGS4. Cinematic camera angles were used for visual and presentation purposes, but all of it was shot while somebody was actually playing the game! Not only do we get to see many instances of the amazing Octocam, but also some new techniques that Snake has learned along the way! There is a lot more to learn from the trailer, and some surprises that raise even more questions. So what are you waiting for?

    Also at TGS, Hideo Kojima has revealed an interesting tidbit about using 'real people' in the game. 3D models of real people are going to be placed in the game via the use of 3D capturing. Kojima said that we will understand the use of real people in the game when the game is released. One theory people have come up with, is that since the Playstation 3 is going to have a High-Definition Eye Toy camera, players will be able to map their faces on to character models for online play.

    We will have more information soon, but until then, enjoy the trailer and the new screenshots we just uploaded!     		By Vito Raliffe

    Liked the first Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel? Well, Hideo Kojima just recently revealed that another one is in the works for the PSP! This time, the story will be based upon Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and will once again feature artwork from the talented Ashley Wood. It was also stated that while Raiden was the main character in MGS2, Solid Snake will appear just as much as him in the comic, which is great news for those who disliked his rookie counterpart.

    Neither the official release date or name have been announced, but expect more details soon!

    Konami has released a few new details about the upcoming MGS: Portable Ops for the PSP. When you progress through the game, you'll be able to recruit multiple different types of characters to your squad, such as unique and special non-playable characters. Each of the characters will have their own attributes, and will be able to help in different types of situations.

    With the wireless capabilities of the PSP, you'll be able to locate and download characters based on the unique IP address contained in all wireless hot spots. You don't need to log on to the hot spot, just need to locate a wireless access point to recruit the character. You'll also be able to take these characters into an online battle.

    The "White Flag" system will be used in the multiplayer modes, where you can rather give up and live to battle again, or to fight to the death, where you risk losing one of your comrades permanently.

    The single-player story follow the events after MGS3: Snake Eater in 1970 with Big Boss in prison to discover his FOX Unit has started a revolt in South America. Chacters such as Major Zero, Para-Medic, and Sigint will also be involved in the story that is canonical to the MGS timeline.

    The game will also feature fully-voiced cinematics by the same voice-actors from Snake Eater. The cinematics will feature original artwork by Ashley Wood, who also worked on MGS: Digital Graphic Novel.

    MGS: Portable Ops is scheduled to release this winter for the PSP.

    In the latest issue of Famitsu, Hideo Kojima releases some interesting details regarding the newest iteration in the Metal Gear Solid series.

    First off, Hideo Kojima says this is indeed the end for the story. All mysteries are to be revealed, and Solid Snake may die in the end as we were told he would in the newest trailer. We also saw many characters make an appearance in the trailer that previously had major roles in the series, and Hideo says nearly all the characters from the previous games will make an appearance in some form.

    Making a return from Snake Eater, we will again have a camouflage system, this time titled "Octacamo". In the trailer, we saw Snake's suit blend in almost instantly with his background. Hideo goes further in-depth with the system, saying that if Snake was standing in front of a wall with holes, it would appear as if he had holes in him too. He states with the technology of the PS3, they can replicate these types of changes, creating a far more advanced camouflage system.

    Not only that, but MGS4 will also have online play. "The Online in subsistence was just the preparation for 4," Kojima states.

But, at this year's E3, Konami created a mock-up version of the E3 Newsletter (picture) featuring Konami's upcoming games and handed it out after the Konami press conference. It featured a blurb on the side about the MGS movie, Kojima stated: "I have received many offers to adapt Metal Gear Solid. It has taken a long time, but we have finally settled on an arrangement. False facts aside, a movie project is underway. I have finalized a Class-A contract with a party in Hollywood."

    Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel is an unique experience, it's an adaption of the MGS comic book translated onto the PSP, with some interactive elements. The panels are displayed on the screen one at a time, so you can carefully read the text, because no voice-overs will be implemented into the game. You can also pause or speed up the panels. Just because there's no voice-overs, doesn't mean there's no sound - there's plenty of sound effects, such as gun shots.

    One of the interactive elements is the scanning interface; where you press the Scan button at any time, and then you move a targeting reticule and look for hot spots on the comic panel. And when scanned, it'll be entered into a database, which you'll be able to look at. These include certain events/memories from Shadow Moses.

    The Digital Graphic Novel will hit shelves in North America on June 13 exclusively for PSP and will be available for $19.99 (US).

    Kojima Productions officially announced a brand-new MGS title at E3 - a true MGS action game for the PSP. It'll continue the story from Snake Eater and follow Big Boss' depature from the FOX Unit and the creation of FOXHOUND.

    Its visuals are quite close to that of Snake Eater, but with a smaller polygon count. The gameplay is squad-based this time around, where you will control a group of soldiers. Big Boss will not be the only playable character; Para-Medic, Siginit, and Major Zero will also be playable. It's also possible that Ocelot, EVA, and Raikov could be playable as well. Cinematics will feature voice-overs from all the characters. A new feature introduced in the game, is the "White Flag" sytem, where you can choose to surrender and live to fight again or fight to the death until the next game begins. It also features the brand-new 3D camera that was introduced in Subsistence.

    The game will also feature online, with the ad-hoc (play wirelessly) and infrastructure (across the Internet) modes. The online modes work similar to that of Subsistence. A new feature is the addition of a sound radar system which appears on-screen. Basically, when you're running around and making noise, the middle section of your radar scambles. And when other players are doing the same, the sound waves will show where it's coming from. Another thing added is the person who is in first on their team gets the Kerotan frog above their head, which croaks every few seconds; which will put the best player at a disadvantage, but will help out everyone else.

    MGS: Portable Ops is expected to be released at the end of the year, around the 20th anniversary of the release of the original Metal Gear.
