METAL GEAR SOLID 4 - the latest in the bestselling espionage/action series from Konami made its first public "appearance" at E3 2005. However, at E3 nothing much was said about the title, other than that it was in development for the Playstation 3, and was in fact being directed by series mastermind Hideo Kojima, although previously stated that it would be written and directed by someone else, and merely produced by Kojima. Kojima went on to proudly say that the title would mark a major change in the series, and pointed out the mysterious slogan, "No Place to Hide - No Place for Hideo!", which then segwayed nicely into a video. However, this wasn't a trailer, a gameplay demo, or even a flashy tech-demo of what Kojima "believed" Metal Gear Solid would look like on the Playstation 3. Instead, it was a weird, dream-like sequence which really didn't have much to do with anything. Despite that, the video became hugely popular and everyone was assured that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be a welcome addition to the Playstation 3 lineup.
Personally, I didn't expect to see any more of MGS4 until the next E3. If anything, I thought maybe we'd catch a small glimpse of it at the Tokyo Games Show in September. However, Kojima Studios (Kojima's new subsidiary of Konami, a new development house just for his titles) recently announced that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be revealed to the public. Kojima stated that the game would make its first true public appearance at the Leipzig Games Convention, which runs from August 17-21st. (He also announced that he would reveal more about the anticipated PSP Sequel, Metal Gear Ac!d 2.) Kojima announced that he would reveal the latest developments with the PS3 title, and would even show off the first-ever released footage of the game in action.
Metal Gear Solid 4 is closer than we may think, and I'll have more on the anticipated Playstation 3 blockbuster once Kojima unveils it at the convention.
