Shown in HD with incredible visual clarity and a perfect framerate, Metal Gear Solid 4 was the stunner it needed to be. And although all of the footage was cinematic clips, the whole trailer was built out realtime footage, and Mr. Kojima promised that the actual game that you play "will be in this quality". Konami will unfortunately not be showing MGS4 in playable form at E3 2007 (though Konami does have its own E3 press conference scheduled at about 6PM PST today, so we'll see what more surprises will be revealed there), but the company has scheduled a realtime demonstration in Tokyo next week where Hideo Kojima will be playing the actual game to show how its gameplay mechanics work. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will release across the globe in a simultaneous release early in 2008 exclusively for PlayStation 3.
