Metal Gear Solid Latest News…

Last week I talked about how the Metal Gear Hype-machine had started turning. Well this week its gone into overdrive! Since Rockstar dropped GTA4, the gaming media have quickly jumped onto the MGS4 band wagon.
Yesterday’s press conference in Japan saw Mr Kojima hail the completion of the last in the Metal Gear titles. He explained how he had nearly given up, but stressed how he ‘had to finish it for the fans’. Oh we love you Hideo!
The presser saw the release of five new trailers. The awesome new theatrical trailer, a two minute game intro trailer and 3 short TV Advert style trailers.

In other MGS4 news. It emerged today that the elaborate April Fools joke by Konami, showing Solid Snake running around as Altair from Assassins creed – was not a joke after all. MGS4 players will in fact be able to dress up as Altair, which will be unlocked by performing a certain task! Im not sure what it is, but my guess is completing the game – like in MGS1.
