Metal Gear man Hideo Kojima and his team have been talking PS3 rumble, Metal Gear Online as an MGS4 pack-in and an Xbox 360 version of his stealth baby.

 

Speaking in front of a packed forum at the Leipzig Games Convention, Kojima showed off the recently unveiled “Beauty and the Beast” enemy unit—monsters who were formerly human.

 

 

 

He also played through the same in-game demo that was featured weeks ago.

 

 

 

The more interesting details came during the Q&A session, where he addressed some of the gray-area issues surrounding Metal Gear Solid 4.

 

 

 

Responding to one question, the Kojima Productions team said that it’s possible that the recently announced Metal Gear Online, which runs on the MGS4 engine, would be included with MGS4.

 

 

 

“The thing we’re discussing is how much of that online version we should put in MGS4,” said producer Kenichiro Imaizumi.

 

 

 

The issue of PS3 rumble surfaced, as one attendee tried to get confirmation of rumble features in MGS4 (thus a confirmation of rumble adoption by Sony).

 

 

 

Imaizumi said, “We wish we could have rumble, but we don’t have those features with that controller. We wish we would. We’ll see what happens.”

 

 

 

Kojima drew a laugh from the audience when he added, “We have a guy who just works on rumble. Right now, he has nothing to do. I hope I can make use of him.”

 

 

 

Almost expectedly, someone asked about whether or not MGS4 might make an appearance on Xbox 360 in the future, or if it’s a PS3 exclusive forever.

 

 

 

Kojima didn’t comment on the question, instead passing it onto Imaizumi, whose carefully worded response also caused the audience to chuckle. “You know, right now we’re only making it for PS3. We don’t have a plan for Xbox 360 for now.”

There's a new circus in town, but the show is strangely familiar

 

As if Hideo Kojima's 15 minute demonstration of MGS4's everyday combat wasn't enough to make our spines quiver, GamesRadar has managed to get hold of some highly sought after info - four of the overwhelming badasses that Snake is going to run into. Without further ado:

 

Screaming Mantis - female, has the same body shape (lady lumps excepted) as Psycho Mantis and is depicted floating off the ground in a similar manner. She has additional arms holding knives sprouting from her shoulders.

 

Crying Wolf - male (probably), and being in the form of a oversized four-legged beast is the largest of these four and the only one which isn't humanoid. Oh and it (he?) appears to have a rather hefty rifle mounted to his back.

 

Raging Raven - male, and noticeably muscular shouldn't be able to fly but also has wings so presumably does. He appears to be the proud owner of a minigun.

 

Laughing Octopus - female, and very standard looking. If you discount the four thick tentacles sprouting from her head. We know she use these to move rather than deign to walk, and is therefore probably a bit of a diva. They also have some rather nasty looking claws on, so we suspect they're not just made for walking.
