Kojima to begin work on Metal Gear Solid 4 shortly
NEXT BOX
17:25 Solid Snake mastermind Hideo Kojima has confirmed that work is shortly
to begin on Metal Gear Solid 4.
Speaking to press at Konami's European launch event for Metal Gear Solid 3,
currently underway in Berlin, Germany, Kojima-san revealed that Metal Gear
Solid 4 "will be a next-generation title" and went on to say that number
four will kick off a brand new series featuring Solid Snake.
Although Kojima-san was giving away few extra details, he did let slip that
the concept of Metal Gear Solid 4 will be "No place to hide". He also
quipped that there would be "No place for Hideo". He plans to tack a step
back and assume the role of executive producer on MGS 4, meaning he won't be
as hands-on with the sequel as he was with Metal Gear Solid 3.
Stepping in as producer on Metal Gear Solid 4 is Ken-Ichiro Imaizumi. "We'll
be taking it [MGS 4] to the next-gen and we want to feature a fresh,
intriguing storyline and gameplay plus captivating graphics and more
features while remaining true to the core of the MGS series - remaining
Solid. We hope you'll enjoy," Imaizumi-san told an excited press gathering
at Konami's event.
Folks, that's it for now, but with our frontline reporter on the scene in
Berlin keep eyes peeled for potential further mouth-watering titbits on MGS
4.

Metal Gear Solid 4 confirmed

Is it game over for Snake? MGS4 to hit next-gen consoles with
mystery characters and storyline
Work is already underway on Metal Gear Solid 4, which will be
released for as-yet-unspecified next-generation consoles, Konami have just
revealed at a press event at Berlin's Hotel Adlon.
However, Konami have not announced details of any characters,
storyline or even a release date, although we have heard that it will be set
in an entirely new location that hasn't been seen in previous MGSs. (A huge
metropolis? Outer space?) As for formats, it's almost certainly going to
debut on PS3 and we'd also expect there to be an Xbox 2 version at some
point.
About the only thing that was revealed was the tagline, "No
place to hide! No place for Hideo!" This is a reference to that fact that
Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima is finally moving on from his role as the
series' producer - presumably on to new next-gen projects - to a new
position of executive producer.
Taking his place as MGS4 overlord will be Konami Computer
Entertainment Tokyo veteran, Kenichiro Imaizumi, marking the fact that the
game will form part of an entirely new trilogy - so don't necessarily expect
previous Metal Gear characters to be making an appearance.
That said, the character designer and art director will still be
Yoji Shinkawa - who has worked on all previous Metal Gear Solids - so expect
the series to retain its instantly recognisable aesthetic style.
We're not expecting to see anything of the game though until
May's E3 games show, where it's anticipated that a trailer for the next-gen
stealth-'em-up will be debuted as part of Sony's annual E3 conference.
In the meantime, we're off to a launch party tonight for Metal
Gear Solid 3 at The Teufelsberg in Berlin - formerly a secret service
listening post - where we'll be snooping for any additional MGS4 gossip. As
soon as we hear any, we'll let you know.
