Metal Gear Solid 4 - Image 1It's a no-brainer that Konami Digital's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will be one of the most anticipated titles in the upcoming Tokyo Game Show. We've seen trailers and developer demos of the Sony PlayStation 3 exclusive, and the project has blown us away every time. For the upcoming shindig, Konami lets fans get a hands-on for the first time ever.

That's right, a playable demo has been announced for MGS4, which will hopefully give us all feedback on how the controls work this time and how other fans like new gameplay elements such as the Octo cam. A bit of kick-ass CQC would also be nice.

In addition, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops+, Metal Gear Online, and Metal Gear Solid 2 Bande Desiree will be shown off during TGS 2007. MGSPO+ is an expansion to the original Sony PSP game with new playable characters, Metal Gear Online is a stand-alone PS3 online-only game, and MGS2 Bande Desiree is a graphic novel based on the series' unfolding plot.

The popular Silent Hill series will take new horrors to the PSP as well, with Silent Hill Origins leading the rest of Konami's PSP bunch followed by Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 titles.

Nintendo platforms will also get treats from Konami as the publisher unveils exercise games Yoga, Pilates, and Skin Basic are shaping up nicely for the Wii. The Nintendo DS, on the other hand will showcase the newly-announced Time Hollow. Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party, Big Head Baseball, and Big Head MLB round up the Nintendo Wii list.

» Metal Gear. Pfft.

I think Igarashi deserves more of a funding than Kojima does anyday. Sure the SotN and the rest of the games he's worked on has been similar since day one, but it's not like the Metal Gear Solid series which every game is almost exactly the same aside from very subtle changes and a new storyline. The fourth one does look better but the Metal Gear Solid series is too overated.

Overrated or not, that's where the money's rolling in from.

» Metal Gear Overrated?

I think you hate good games with a great story. :/

Sure Castlevania is one of the best games of Konami, but, Metal Gear is the KING of Konami, without Metal Gear i would only buy Castlevania, cause i dont no any other good Konami games atm xd.

And the 3D-Castlevanias are not so good as the 2D, the only VERY GOOD BADASS Castlevania was:

Castlevania 64. o_o; With the Werewolf and the Chainsaw Monster!

"every game is almost exactly the same aside from very subtle changes and a new storyline."



- Did I read that right? So you think a game with a NEW STORYLINE is exactly the same as before? So what DO you expect to be different? Gameplay?

I guess he expects MGS to become an RPG? LMAO...or perhaps a strategy game. WAIT, that's Metal Gear Ac!d. And we all know what kind of critical acclaim that game got, although I personally like it.



And for the record, Ninja Gaiden will never achieve anything that MGS has in terms of gameplay, story, philosophy, graphics, soundtrack, AI, sales, the list goes on...

& its not Mr commen sense this time lol. Na but I think the metal gear series isnt overrated at all, It really deserves to be this popular. If youve play Mgs through Mgs4 (coming soon) im pretty sure youd agree with me bud. (I tryed playing the really old 2D metal gears but they were too hard lol)
