Hi all – Firstly, we’d like to thank you for helping us make the launch of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots a tremendous success, with a special thanks to the many of you who attended our midnight launches to support it. It was great to meet so many of you in person, and the some of the MGS related costumes were truly spectacular. We had a lot of fun, and we hope you did too.
Of course, the launch of MGS4 is just the beginning – with it now in your hands, surely you are finding that there is much to discover within the game itself. It’s packed with so much, in fact, that there is bound to be new revelations, strategies, and details in the coming months as everyone makes their way through every nook and cranny. Add in Metal Gear Online, with its endless and deep multiplayer game play, as well as new downloadable content forthcoming – there is truly so much more to come, with our continued support of MGS, that will extend well through this year.
With that, we are happy to reveal a very special surprise, upon the PLAYSTATION Store update tomorrow (Thursday June 19th) we will be releasing the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Database!
The MGS4 Database is a free, downloadable interactive application that contains the official knowledge base of everything that is Metal Gear, reaching all the way back to the very beginning of the franchise. Including complete storylines, character profiles, relationship diagrams, and much more! The MGS4 database is a great way to catch up for someone new to Metal Gear, as well as a useful resource for any veteran of the series, with complete official details on every aspect of the intricate Metal gear lore.
The MGS4 Database also contains a special feature – if you want to make use of the database, but have not yet fully played through MGS4 yet and are worried about spoilers – all MGS4 spoilers are “blacked out” until you’ve beaten MGS4. Give it a try!
But that’s not all, within MGS4, check out the EXTRAS option of the main menu (if you haven’t already). There’s already new, free downloadable content available for the game – with new camouflage and a new music track for the in game iPod. There will be more forthcoming, so be sure to check this often!
Simply unbelievable. Wow.
I’m super hyped for Thursday! Woo!
AWESOME but can you please answer me a question WHEN WILL MGS1 COME TO PSN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM DYING HERE!!!
lol
I haven’t played all of the MGS games so the database is definitely a plus for me. Thanks!
IPOD QUESTION.
KONAMI/Sony Everyone said that we could listen to our own music through the IPOD.
Do we have to connect our OWN ipod to the ps3 to listen to our own music?
Or was 2.4 intended to be out sooner and release with Metal Gear Solid 4?
I think this is a very valid question that everyone seems to be dodging. But I mean, you guys said we could. Even Kojima said it.
Amazing game, just asking about this..
Now that’s some awesome news.
Damn, I was hoping it was MGS remake. :-p
But this looks really good as well. Can’t wait!
im sorry:P but i realy lik this idea
You’re welcome!
I waited in line 4 hours to get my hands on a copy. This is the best game i’ve ever played in my life!!!
Good job everyone that worked on it.
What an excellent idea, its really something cool for any MGS fan to enjoy, no matter how many times you may have beaten the games. Good job Konami, I look forward to this and more continued MGS support in the future.
Wow! more greatness for an already great title. I no im on the right team. Go sony!
Wow, now THAT is awesome. The series is so damn big and epic that it needs its very own DATABASE in the PS Store, hah! And the fact that it blacks out spoilers using your game data (beaten MGS4 or not) is just genius!
This will be perfect for people who have very little idea on the MGS universe, newcomers, and just those who want to refresh their memory.
Great idea, really utilizing the PS Store in a smart way, in fact I dont think I’ve ever seen something like this ever released, so its new.. Cant wait to try it out!
Thats enough of me blabbing about how cool this thing is… Keep it up.
Oh thank you so much. This is perfect. I ned to know who all these people i keep hearing are and what happened to them.
Oh I see what happened. You decided to put this update first, then the PAIN update. I see what you did there. On topic though… I never played the other metal gear games, will this help me get clued in on what I may have missed out on?
I hit the wrong button on that, it was published for a few seconds – long enough to hit RSS feeds. There *is* a PAIN update coming, just haven\’t nailed down the timeframe exactly. You\’ll read about it soon enough.
ok, back on topic… nice avatar.
