Posted on May 28th, 2008 at 07:26 EDT
The latest issue of Famitsu magazine brings confirmation that familiar faces Mai Ling and Rosemary will be returning for Snakes swansong in the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Fans of the series will no doubt recognise both characters from past titles, with Mai Ling having previously provided Snake with support via codec in the original Metal Gear Solid, and Rosemary serving as Raidens love interest in the sequel, Sons of Liberty.
Check out the scans below, and stay tuned for our review of MGS4 following its launch on June 12.

Summary of Playstation: The Official Magazine.
-Meryl has grown since we last saw her. She is now a strong and confident leader. And very much the female Solid Snake: "badass".
-The intro cut scene is quote "senstational" backed by positional audio that brings the beautifully realized world to life. Forget Prerendered Stuff!! All the cut-scenes are done in-game.
-A couple of Assassin's Creed references. It shows that even though the tone of the game is quite serious, they still have time to wink at the camera. Haven't lost their tongue-in-cheek humor.
-Naomi Hunter is a fox. Pun intended. Get it...Grey Fox. Okay, don't quit your day job. She provides a lot of exposition on why Snake is "Old Snake".
-There are quick-time button presses during cut-scenes which will cause a flashback to prior games/moments. Drebin gives you points for hitting them.
-Direct quote: "If you come to the game with no prior MGS Knowledge, you'll still uncover one of the most absorbing stories ever told".
-The acting in the cut scenes is "incredible". There are a lot of subtleties. (Time will tell if this is true as I am a huge animation fan and will most likely rip on the game for crude animation.) But this gives me hope.
-The solid eye system looks incredible. Has many different functions that will help you along and you'll need all the help you can get. At the core MGS4 is still a stealth game and it's the hardest of the lot.
-There are some amazing twists and turns. (Woot!) Direct quote: Two acts into this experience you might think you know what's in store for the rest of the game, when it suddenly changes in such a beautiful way.
(Acts system similar to Snake Eater. Different locations.)
-Gun customization! Lights, sights, and grips for improved accuracy. Each gun with detailed statistics and grades on power Grade A (best) to Grade E (worst). You can even lock-on.
-You can listen to your ingame iPod even songs from prior games by finding them in certain levels. Looks like these are the new frogs?
Sorta-super spoilers below:
-You return to Shadow Moses Island. (I didn't know that.) And the environment is nothing short of stunning.
-The reviewer was never a big fan of MGS series but now MGS4 has made him a fan and he put MGS4 in his top-10 favorite games.
-There is tons of dialogue and references to other games near the end of the game. So many infact, you hardly would have to play the other games to understand the characters and the story. The ending/epilogue is near an hour long cut-scene. Wow.
-"MGS4 is special in so many ways that I suspect it will reside among the videogame industy's greatest achievements long after we're dust"
-5/5 Stars

http://www.psu.com/Kojima-+quot;Meta...0003816-p0.phpKojima "Metal Gear will always be around"
Posted on May 29th, 2008 at 22:37 EDT
With the release of Metal Gear Solid 4 creeping up in less than two weeks, Mr. Kojima has been pretty vocal on the direction of the franchise -- even if he may not have a direct impact on it.
Speaking to Reuters, Kojima revealed a few tidbits of information on the series that he created. The famed founder recognized the amount of pressure the latest installment in the Metal Gear franchise has placed on his shoulders. This load of pressure is what drove Mr. Kojima to strive for nothing short of perfection when developing the game. This caused him to push harder and to constantly set the bar higher, responding to what he calls, "positive pressure".
Although he has made it public that this would be Solid Snake's final mission, Mr. Kojima mentioned that "MGS will always be around," so long as the fans asked for it, he felt that it was his responsibility to continue the series. However, his subsequent roles may require him to take a more backseat role as he preferred the new staff to take control of any new sequels.
Possibly alluding to a future Metal Gear movie, Mr. Kojima expressed positive opinions regarding the shift that video games have been taking as the latest form of digital entertainment. With the lines between gaming and Hollywood becoming more and more blurred, he expressed that it may not take too long before a new kind of convergence may occur.
