New Details of MGS 4 Emerge at GC
Konami has sent word that creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, Hideo Kojima, will be using the Leipzig Games Convention to detail the ‘Beauties and the Beasts’ theme, which runs through Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Hideo Kojima is the head of Kojima Productions. He will host many stage events throughout the show from Thursday to Sunday and will reveal four new enemies exclusively to Games Convention visitors. As you all know, the Metal Gear Solid series is known for its unique ‘Boss’ creatures.
Here are the details:
- The characters, Laughing Octopus, Raging Raven, Crying Wolf, and Screaming Mantis, are empowered with special, supernatural abilities and have individual back stories that outline how they have become the beings they are. All were initially good people who, for various reasons linked to events in the Metal Gear Solid series and events they have seen in countless wars, are now changed beyond all recognition both physically and mentally, and are perfect examples of the ‘Beauties and the Beasts’ themes that run throughout MGS4.
Guess who will be coming to Games Convention along with Hideo Kojima? None other than Yumi Kikuchi, the actress who is lending her talents to MGS4 in the role of one of the Beauties. Kojima will introduce her and she will speak about her involvement with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. And yes, Hideo Kojima will give real-time gameplay demonstrations of MGS 4 at GC 2007!
