Contrary to what you may have read elsewhere, Konami did indeed issue a remastered video of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. We posted about it yesterday, after the trailer dissecting newshounds at NeoGAF picked up on the changes.

Kotaku has reviewed screen grabs of the modified E3 2006 trailer, which displays new visual effects, but we don't expect to see anything substantially new of MGS4 until E3 2007 in July.

This new footage is simply a recut version of last year's E3 trailer but smoke effects, particles, lighting, textures, motion blur - all of these things have been visually tweaked, with rather clear side-by-side comparisons of the retouched effects seen above. Looks nice. Sorry, nicer. But we're tired of waiting for this game. Doesn't Konami have better things to do than fiddle around with existing footage? Michael McWhertor
