Three Metal Gear Solid Titles In the Works

Konami's press conference had lots of good news for the Metal Gear Solid fan, reports Gamespot. Three new MGS titles are currently in the works for this and the next generation of consoles. Metal Gear Solid 4 will see the light on Sony's next console, the Playstation 3. Metal Gear Acid 2 is already in development for the PSP, and in the spirit of many of the past MGS titles, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence will offer a remix of the original Snake Eater experience. From the article: "...this content will likely appeal to many who have already played Snake Eater. Foremost, it will feature online multiplayer action, with Kojima saying his team was aiming for a maximum of eight players. The online portion will sport two modes: 'Snake vs. Enemies,' where multiple players hunt down one opponent and 'Team Battle' with multiple players fighting cooperatively."

    Metal Gear Solid: the only game where there's more talking about fighting, than actual fighting!

    Of course.

    There are over 72 million PS2s, as of last November, probably closer to 75 million or more now. All come with standard hardware, a controller, and DVD-ROM.

    Sure, there were more PCs sold, but how many were gaming capable, and how many were intended for entertainment purposes?

    So for all intents and purposes, if you want to play a bunch of Metal Gear games, buy a PS2 ($150) and MGS3 Subsistence (you get MGS3 + bonus games if I've read correctly) for $50.

    Or you can get MGS1 for $10 and MGS2 for $15 now.
