Metal Gear Solid 4 - Image 1


For those of us keeping tabs of the Sony E3 2007 Press Conference, here's an update about what could be the biggest draw for the PlayStation 3 thus far, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. We get you the skinny on what Hideo Kojima himself revealed about the game that features a battle-hardened and battle-wizened Solid Snake.

It's official - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is going to be the last Metal Gear Solid title that Hideo Kojima will be working on, with the game serving as the big finish in the already legendary series. Kojima's statement, verbatim:


The game is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month -- and while I've been on the series for 20 years, this game will be the grand finale for the series. The story of Snake will end and this will be my last take on this series. All the mysteries, plotlines, and other story points will be revealed. I'm putting everything I have into MGS4 and today I brought it with me. What we're showing you isn't a trailer, it's the game.


The trailer then plays, and we're treated to very sweet-looking footage of Solid Snake being sent in to assassinate his arch-nemesis, Liquid Snake. We see Meryl leading an army towards Liquid, but something goes horribly wrong and the soldiers start attacking each other. Raiden comes into the scene and then starts to duke it out with Vamp in an incredible-looking fight scene. Incomparably awesome.

After the dust is settled and everyone's picked up their jaws off the floor, the final kicker is given: Metal Gear Solid 4 will be released worldwide come early 2008, with an actual demo of the game to be featured next week in Tokyo. We can hardly wait.

This E3 is shaping up to be the most intense ever. Updates as we get them!

# BlarghGuest 2007-07-11 13:08
It's the finale for Snake's story, maybe there'll be other MGS games, but probably not with Hideo's influence. Who knows?

All Kojima said is that it's the end of the SOLID series. Metal Gear can spawn other series too.

# Just a noteGuest 2007-07-11 21:34
That blade in his foot was the one the Vamp thought he stabbed Raiden in the foot with but it actually went between the toes on his tabi shoes and he picked it up with his feet but yeah it was brutal I agree

Actually you are wrong to Mr. Wrong. It started on the msx, the nes version is a port from the msx.

You're entitled to your opinion even though it is blinded by your fanboy loyalty to M$. And for god's sake, please learn to spell. It will make you seem at least somewhat intelligent. It's a stretch, I know, but it just might make you seem smart for a change.

i've narrowed xman's profile down to two possibilities

1) he's unemployed due to mental retardation

2) he's a grade school student



your best game just went to pc so i don't even need to buy an xbox to enjoy its games.

# Wait, you don't need to say your a fanboy. Everyone already knows that.Guest 2007-07-12 08:43
"halo looks way better hen this game ploose killzone put together!! and if you looks at the video you will see that both kilzone and MGs4 choppes. but the halo video played smooth!!!"



HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Seriously this guy (excuse me, boy) is a comedian!



[SARCASM]Ah, wait I see it now, you're right Xman! After watching the mindblowi-, I mean, terrible killzone trailer and not acknowledging the incredible polygon count, realistic lighting, and CGI effects. I see that..... OMG! T3H TEXTURZ ON T3H LANDIN CRAFT R SLIGHTLY BLURRY!!!!! TAT MEAN 360 HAVE L33T3R GRAFIXXXX lololololololol !!!!!!!!!!!111111111[/SARCASM]



It's kind of funny that you take the effort to even lay your fingers on your keyboard considering the following facts:



1) You think a real-time game run on a 360 looks better than a CGI trailer, which probably took months to render on hundreds of computers.



2)Your grammar doesn't give your opinions any general acceptance either.



3) "Choppes" is not a word in the English language.



Thank you,
