Metal Gear Solid: Touch
Friday December 19th, 2008 by Walleye
The details of Konami's cryptic flash page have been revealed.
Speculation was that the next Metal Gear would be on the XBOX360. Konami, however had other ideas. As predicted, the animation was cleverly set up to hint towards the 360, and then be something completly different.
The next Metal Gear is called "Metal Gear Solid: Touch" and it's an iPod Touch/iPhone exclusive title. The game is set in the MGS4 Universe and players take control of Old Snake. The mission is to take cover behind an object in the foreground and shoot PMC Soldiers that appear by touching the screen across 8 levels. This platform seems a little too familiar though, as the exact same game has been featured as "Special Mission 02" on the official MGS4 site since before the game was released.
Metal Gear Solid: Touch will be released (most likely through an application download) in Spring 2009.

Konami Announces New Metal Gear?
Friday December 5th, 2008 by Walleye
Konami have revealed a rather cryptic website that features a small flash animation, and nothing else. After the Konami logo fades, a message can be seen that seems to hint towards an MGS release on the XBOX360. Is it MGS4? Is it an expanded MGS4? Is it a completely new game?
The general speculation is that it is indeed MGS4 on the 360, however… something is telling me Konami are hinting toward that to then surprise us all with something we weren’t expecting. I remain optimistic that the cryptic message could instead be hinting towards Metal Gear AC!D3.
At this stage, no one outside of Konami knows for sure what this all means.
