Kojima divulges new MGS4 details

If there's one PS3 game worth getting excited about at the moment, it's the graphically spectacular fourth entry in the Metal Gear Solid franchise, and in another recent interview with PSM2 mag, series mastermind Hideo Kojima revealed some more tasty new gameplay details.

In the interview the MGS father details Snake's new camouflage suit the "Octo Cam." As seen in the excellent E3 trailer (which you can find to the right of this page) Snake's suit will change form and colour depending on his surroundings. As revealed by Kojima, this will happen automatically when Snake is immobile, and apparently the its fancy graphical effect is only possible on the PlayStation 3.

.Also revealed in the interview is the extent of MGS4's interactive environments, most of which will apparently be destructible. Kojima notes that the PS3 does have some boundaries though; in some buildings only certain items will be destructible. As an example, Kojima notes the stairs that the Metal Gear destroys in the latest E3 trailer; while they are damaged in the trailer you'll notice that everything in the scene remains undamaged.

Kojima finishes off the interview by again stating that MGS4 will be apparently be his "last Metal Gear game." "The series belongs to Konami and the fans, but I have the liberty to stop," he says. Of course this isn't the first time Kojima has tried to ditch his famous stealth series; originally MGS2 was going to be his final series entry but he reclaimed the mantle for the third game after massive fan outcry. Better get your letter writing pens out then.
