Hideo Kojima has hinted that a big Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker announcement is due on Wednesday

The man responsible for Metal Gear's madness Tweeted: "On Wednesday, there will be a big Peace Walker announcement. I don't think you can understand the enjoyment of Peace Walker until you've played it, but I believe you'll feel a hint of sorts about 'where is it a new Metal?'." We could..

Half of the "humour" in this video goes right over our head

But we do get the Assassin's Creed piss-taking. That's funny. We guess. Sort of. Maybe? Haha - surgical masks. Sigh. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="468" height="260"..

Not an April Fools' Day joke we're 'fraid

CVG's confirmed that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will receive a month-long delay here in the UK, hitting shelves on June 18th as opposed to the originally planned date of May 28th. Sorry folks, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

We don't know how they've done it, but VG247 has got their hands on a release schedule from British retailer GAME

Amongst many interesting discoveries, the listing outs a number of key Activision titles for release in October. Amongst the big hitters are Call Of Duty 7 - the latest foray into the military shooter franchise by spin-off developer Treyarch - aswell as DJ Hero 2 and James Bond Racing..

Konami's continuing to release big fat chunks of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker gameplay, and this latest video focuses on a co-op boss battle against an angry helicopter

Y'know - when GiantBomb.com claimed helicopters were evil, we think they were onto something. There's not a game goes by that doesn't seem to include a helicopter as some kind of boss fight.

If you're in Japan, you might want to grab yourself some Mountain Dew

Why? Because the cans are being branded with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker character art. Naturally, the colloboration works two ways - as Mountain Dew is set to make an appearance in Peace Walker. It'll appear as an in-game item. We love it when games do that. [Pic: Andriasang]

Stop what you're doing

The latest trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is balls-to-the-wall amazing. It features some startlingly in-your-face J-pop and ridiculously pretty Playstation Portable visuals. The game's not far off now, thus you should probably go buy Sony's portably system if you don't already have one. You're going to need a PSP for this.

After last week's 10-minute epic look at Konami's Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, we didn't think there'd be a new video for some time

How wrong we were. Hey, how do you fancy another ten minutes of gameplay? You do. Well - cool beans then. Press the play button and digest.

Konami's announced that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will hit the American PSPs on June 8th

This follows the announcement of yesterday's Peace Walker hardware bundle, which incidentally will be released on the same day. We're excited. Are you, valued reader?

Looks like SCEA are going to give Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker a pretty ample push, announcing that the PSP title will get a special bundle

The bundle is set to include a Green PSP-3000, the game on UMD, a Playstation Network movie voucher, and a 2GB pro-duo memory stick for $199.99. Sounds like an excellent deal. Peace Walker will also release for PSPgo. Worry not!

Because it's a PSP title, many people are writing off Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker as some kind of spin-off saga

Not true, Hideo Kojima has been keen to emphasise over and over, this is the real deal. Over on Twitter, the Kojima Productions head honcho wrote:“PW is going to be released as a portable game, but it is a TRUE MGS game in the saga, not a spin-off. Of course, we have put a lot of..

Hideo Kojima has suggested via Twitter that the new Metal Gear Solid: Rising game, being developed by a band of Kojima Productions upstarts, will bring new people to the franchise

He posted:“The next MGS… “RISING.” this game will create new users, be developed by the new generation, a new MGS."</blockquote> Very little is known about the game at this stage, aside from the fact that..

Konami's just dropped a nine-minute long look at the upcoming PSP foray into the Metal Gear franchise, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

There's tons of new stuff to see here that wasn't included in the recent demo. Well worth checking out (if you have the time!). Apparently, more videos are planned.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is a Playstation Portable title

It has no "number". But apparently there was a time when the game did. Look at this logo. It's an old one that was posted on Kojima Productions' developers blog by Jiro Oishi. It says "Metal Gear Solid 5" on it. As we all know, the number was dropped before the E3 reveal. But if you ever wanted more proof that -..

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has been delayed

Director Hideo Kojima is pretty gutted about that. He wrote on his blog:“I always preach to the staff, ‘You must not have a delay after a release date has been announced. There is no greater crime as a game developer.“Official announcement of a release date is nothing less than a promise to fans and business partners. In other words, a release..

Konami's announced that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has been pushed back a month in Japan

The game was originally due on March 18th in the country, but it'll now land on April 29th. That delay, however, will not affect the Western release in May.

When you've got an IP as rich as the Metal Gear universe, it surprises me that anyone truly understands the fiction

We guess though, if anyone has a semblance of an idea about what's going on - it would be creator Hideo Kojima. Thus it's no surprise to hear Kojima tell Official Playstation Magazine that, "Not so many ideas come from the other staff." In fact, the video game legend..

Only serving to fuel our obsession with Asian pop-music, Nana Mizuki - the voice of the Costa Rican chick Paz Ortega Andrade in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - has topped the Japanese pop charts with Phantom Minds

The single moved 54,000 copies last week. It's like a breakneck ballad with an all-over-the-place bassline and lots of filtered drum fills. Hear it after the jump.

Hurrah for games starting to be developed with the Playstation 3's architecture in mind

Cue Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow's lead David Cox, who tweeted: “<span>PS3 is the lead platform but the game is identical on both formats,” he said. Excellent, take note SEGA.</span> <span><span>Alongside development details, David also noted that the camera in the game is fixed. So..
