Metal Gear Solid 3 Ships

Voodoo Extreme has the word that Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has launched today. From the article: "Players will assume the role of Snake, a US-sent agent, embarking on a dangerous solo mission to uncover and destroy a newly created weapon of mass destruction." Relatedly, GameDaily states that Metal Gear Solid 4 is a go. From the article: "During a financial report Motoyuki Yoshioka, head of Konami JPN, confirmed that there will be a Metal Gear Solid 4. Rumored since last week, this news casts the 'Final Episode of the Metal Gear Solid Trilogy', Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, in a new light."

MGS2 implemented close quarters combat ANIMATIONS, which you initiated by the complicated maneuver of pressing a button. This time they expanded variety and interactivity of the encounters with the help of a military advisor.

Gamefaqs did a poll last week before and there was more interest in MGS3 and Metroid Prime 2 than Half-Life 2. Of course polling fans on gamefaqs isn't exactly scientific it did surprise me.

The PC market is a niche market though, and all the problems with Steam could end up turning even more people off of PC gaming.
