Double Agent will own MGS4. Believe.

The multiplayer, yeah. But that's it.

Also in heterosexuality.

But seriously, did you see the gameplay video? It looks really hot, and Im not a fan of SC. Of course, MGS fanboys will always love their golden calf...

Don't get me wrong, I love Splinter Cell. The multiplayer especially.

Oh and here's something, "Dear Mr. Kojima, Jump In."

The piece closely imitates Show Daily, the E3 show's official daily magazine, though the content focuses completely on the games of Kojima Productions. The material, cutely named Show Maybe?, copies the look and layout of the E3 Show Daily, going as far as including full-page advertisements. Most of the adverts are for Kojima Production games, including Metal Gear Solid 4 and Lunar Knights, though a few of them are not. Here's one that caught our attention.

It's a Microsoft Xbox 360 ad that covers two pages. On the right side of the two-page spread are the 360 logo and the slogan "Jump in." On the left page are these words, written in font that looks like handwriting: "Dear Mr. Kojima," forming the sentence "Dear Mr. Kojima, Jump in."

Now we haven't heard anything from Konami on the subject. This could simply be a joke for fans, or perhaps a jab at Microsoft who's no doubt courting the popular developer. Does the ad hint at future Xbox 360 support from Kojima Productions? Be sure to stay tuned.

It should also be noted that this article was written by MarkRyan, who sucks. That is all.

Well played.

I agree with Zerohero but c'mon, lets not kid outselves. It's eyeliner, he's wearing fucking heels (heels with function but heels nontheless). MGS4 Raiden is pretty much the culmination of all the current Japanese pretty boy badass heroes cliches that just comes off weird when they're compared to old guard people like Snake who's still badass in his own different way.

That being said, while the part with the heel and sword is sort of cringe worthy that whole scene looked pretty damn cool. Probably equal to the cool shit Grey Fox did in MGS. It looks like Kojima is keeping a healthy "ninja quota" with all the MGS games and at the same time, is transitioning Raiden to become the latest in badass ninjas the way Grey Fox was. I see nothing wrong with it since you see stuff like that being laid down as groundwork in MGS2 and it was a natural character progression.

He's also the best successor to the MGS franchise to hand off to other directors once Kojima is done with his Snake stuff.
