Hideo Kojima, speaking to Hyper PlayStation magazine, has revealed new details regarding Metal Gear Solid 4, which should tide fans over for at least a few weeks. First of all, the game does not actually take place that far in the future - Solid Snake, being a clone of Big Boss (hence the resemblance), ages quicker than most humans. Metal Gear’s token geezer, Revolver Ocelot, will return for the game, so expect him and Snake to partake in some nasty, over-the-hill fighting (wheelchair wars?).

Mr. Kojima further elaborates on one of the catchphrases from the impressive MGS4 trailer, “no place to hide.” Since the game will take place during a war, sometimes Snake will be caught between two or more opposing sides that have no affiliation whatsoever with Snake. The two armies will battle, destroying buildings and other perfectly good hiding spots along the way. Snake, for his part, could actually infiltrate one of the sides by winning their respect through killing off their enemies.

Kojima also expressed interest in implementing more psychological warfare into the game, such as by making a few noises to surprise the guards, scare them a bit, and thus making them less efficient at trying to kill you. This last feature, Kojima concedes, may not be implemented to the extent he wishes, but that he will try his best. Let’s hope so, because this game is sounding like a marvelous re-invention of the Metal Gear series – this is not your grandfather’s MGS.

Yeah, I saw this article, and thought it would help to furthur the theories of many of our heavy thinkers...

Keep the speculations coming folks...

Still no word on what the theme of MGS4 is?

**football** · 10-02-2005, 07:22 AM

**Ztype** · 10-02-2005, 07:24 AM

No no I mean MEMES, GENES, and SCENES. I've been curious for a very long time as to what the theme of MGS4 is considering they've run out of letters.

Lucky..poor PSP mods, soo powerless ;)

So what do you guys think of Snake's age being so..umm..ancient ;) I believe that this is one of the only sequel games that I have seen in a long time that actually shows how the character is mortal..other games aging does not seem to be much of a factor.

**football** · 10-02-2005, 07:36 AM

i think its gonna be awsome kicking ass as an old man, for me it also make the whole series seem more realistic, oh and i really like the old, grey, mustache

**Jehuty** · 10-07-2005, 09:13 PM

man do you know how old Ocelot was in MGS2? I don't wanna guess how he looks now o.O

so Snake's caught between a war eh? that sounds cool

If you read the article, it says this game does not take place that far in the future... Snake only looks old, because clones age faster than a normal human... Ocelot probably looks the same...

I really shouldn't explaining anything about this series though, I'm so lost when it comes to MGS...

**EriCKY** · 10-09-2005, 01:56 PM

Thats cool. I want this game like this much | |

The new theme is SENSE.

**Snaku** · 11-09-2005, 10:45 AM

The subject of themes was one of the more confusing things in school. Want spelling/grammar checked? I can do that. What is the theme in this short story? Uh....
Also, what does MEMES mean? I get that genes play heavily in the series, especially the first one, but was that really the theme? I figured it was, I dunno' ...life, or something to do with Snake sort of opening up to there being more to ... uh... life.
