Continuing an impressive and successful E3 Media & Business Summit press conference, Sony proudly introduced legendary Metal Gear Solid creator, Hideo Kojima, to discuss MGS4: Guns of the Patriots. Kojima said that this will be the very final chapter in the Metal Gear Solid story, one to tie up all the loose ends and bookend the saga. Kojima also claimed that this would be the last Metal Gear game that he'd direct, but ... Kojima always says that.
We were then treated to a brand new trailer, voiced with the English cast, for Guns of the Patriots, shedding more light on Snake's final mission. Detailing how Snake's objective is to find and eliminate Liquid as he plans an insurrection in the Middle-Eastern setting we've come to know and love, the trailer is epic, and sure to be posted on Destructoid very soon. The whole thing ended with a beautiful, albeit brutal, battle between Raiden and Vamp, which led into the glorious news that MGS4 would see a simultaneous worldwide release in early 2008. As a final point, a demo was also hinted at surfacing in Japan sometime in the near future.
The game looks gorgeous (far better than the awful screengrab I nabbed) and this old MGS fan is stoked as hell for what promises to be an awesome feather in Sony's cap, at least for the time being. Stay tuned to Destructoid for more news from the ongoing conference.

And come on, who fucking thought this would appear in 2007?
Show me boss battles, soldier A.I and the like.
Have edited in that they spoke briefly of a demo hitting Japan soon.
I'm still shocked Vamp is back..
btw... Where is Workman I wanna hear his response!!
Kojima stepping away from the series? Sure, I can see that. Not the absolute end of the games, though.
Didn't they remove the Playstation logo for a bunch of their old MGS3 trailers too?
No, there is a lot he could respond to.
Metal Gear 2- MSX and PS2
Metal Gear Solid- PS1 and PC
Metal Gear Solid 2- PS2,PC and Xbox
Metal Gear Solid 3-PS2
out of all these games only one is for the playstaion 2. I don't know where everyone is getting the whole idea there is such a strong alliance to playstaion when there really isn't one. The words "simultaneous worldwide release: are really standing out in my mind because Kojima is known for his hidden meaning behind what is being shown.
Understand this, I am not a 360 fanboy. Hell I loved playstation but the way they are going about things is wrong. I don't have an hd tv by the time i do have one holograms will be going into style. Therefore I do not need a blu-ray player. They still won't admit that they are floundering when everyone knows they are. I believe this game is going to the 360 because it is better for Konami to release it on more than one system. Fuck alliances and fuck fanboys.
Justice I think everyone can tell from the 'tone' of his post that he is not you. Do you have a stalker or something?
Since Sons of Liberty this game seems to be all about cartwheels, confusing storylines, swords vs guns and hair.
A total uninteresting fucking mystery.
