I got some news! Hideo was recently interviewed by PSM, and revieled some juicy new details about MGS4.
-Even Hideo himslef does not know what is worng with Snake. His heart attacks cause has not been thought out yet.
-Snake is injecting himself with... unconfirmed. Hideo still is working on the story.
-You will not play as "young" Snake.
-CQC may not return. It is a trademark of Big Boss, not Snake. Hideo said it would not make sense to have Snake use CQC.
-The "Solid Eye" aka "Eye-Patch-Thingie" will replace the radar. It will also be used for night vision, scope, ect.
-The "Metal Gear MK 2" aka "Otacons weird robot thingie from that other game" wil l replace the codec.
-Will Snake be talking to anyone else other than Otacon, Hideo said "Thats a secret" Lets keep in mind, his last secret was Raiden...
-The Metal Gear MK 2 may be used for scouting purposes. The scouting robot was always a dream of his, but the specs of the PS2 held him back.
-Hideo is strongly considering a second player control the Metal Gear MK 2.
-The Metal Gear like robots we saw in the trailer, are, infact, not robots. Its actually biomechanical, a cyborg of sorts. For example, shoot it, it will bleed.
-Those robots are very heavy into psycological warfare. If you watch the trailer again, you will notice that the machine makes very weird noises. For example, you can hear the moo of a cow, the click-clop of a horse, and the hiss of a cicada. This is designed to relax the player right before he is riddled with bullets and trampled to death.
-Raiden is very popular in Japan, so Hideo is striving to make Raiden a very cool character this time around.
-You will control vehicles.
