Old Snake Blows Cover, Spotted At Aussie Wedding
Alistair's Australian. Alistair's also a total Metal Gear fanboy. Alistair was at a wedding the other day, and while there, spotted an uncle he hadn't seen in years. An uncle he thinks looks just like Old Snake. And while we'd normally just smile, nod and remind Alistair that he's just got Metal Gear on the brain right now, we must admit: that's a spot-on likeness. More » -

Metal Gear Online Patched, Now Sneakier, Headshottier
Metal Gear Online players, you've now got two new additions to your Metal Gear Online gameplay. One is a new game mode, called Team Sneaking. This expands on the original "Sneaking" mode, and instead of just having Snake invisible, makes one whole team invisible. The other change is that hosts now have the ability to toggle "Headshots Only", which will punish any kill that's not a bullet to the head. More »

See Snake Bake A Cake
Snake, cake, a children's book and a naughty ending? For Kotaku After Dark? Why, it couldn't capture the spirit of the times better if it had a Zeitgeistmatron 3000. Called "Snake Bakes a Cake", it's the work of both Ms. Anne Moloney & a Mr. Foley, who somehow manage to take a charming story about baking a cake and turn it into (mildly) erotic, illustrated Metal Gear fan fiction. Being (mildly) erotic, anyone aghast at the thought of seeing Snake's derrière should probably not click through. More »

Metal Gear Retrospective, Part 6
If you've already got Metal Gear Solid 4, you're probably not even reading this! You're probably playing your way through it. And as a died-in-the-wool Metal Gear fanboy/girl, that's OK, because you'll know all this stuff anyways. But if you're not, and are a little curious as to why everyone seems to be freaking out over Metal Gear, watch this. It's as brief a summary of the series' convoluted (and I'm being kind) backstory as you're going to get.

Metal Gear Retrospective, Part 5
OK, that wooden, scrap-ey sound you hear? It's the bottom of Metal Gear's barrel being scraped. This fifth (and surely final) look back on the Metal Gear series deals with some of less noted, more (and this is a relative term) forgettable titles, like Portable Ops, card-battler AC!D and the Game Boy's wacky Ghost Babel.

Metal Gear Online Gameplay
It's blurry, yes, and they're all yammering on in Japanese, but you get the gist. It's Metal Gear Online.

Looks...well, it certainly looks different.

Konami ID Dojo: Servers Collapse, Beta Postponed
Stick a fork in it, this beta's almost done. Konami have just issued a statement on the Metal Gear Online site, which reads:...we regret to inform you that due to extraordinary levels of traffic from all around the globe, we have been unable to run the service to the level we expected. As a temporary measure, we will be deferring the start of the US public beta test until we are able to stabilize our server. We would like to apologize for all inconveniences as well as confusion caused.
As a result, the beta's start date - which was meant to be today - has been postponed, with an announcement on a new date expected on Tuesday (Europe: "we will be suspending the European public beta test and restart it once we stabilize our server"). To compensate for this, the beta will be run for another week, and is now due to end on the 11th of May, rather than the 6th. Good thing Konami are doing all this now, such a loooooong time before the game's due for release, because if they left it to the last minute (like, a month and a half before release, say), people might start to worry!

Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection Confirmed
While we'd already seen the pre-order at places like Play Asia, Konami has confirmed their upcoming Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection for PS2. Retailing at $29.99, the package includes the original Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 (director's cut) and Metal Gear Solid 3. It's not as sweet as Japan's MGS Anniversary Collection—a purchase that I considered momentarily in Akihabara before realizing that something might be lost during those conversations with Otacon in my non-native tongue.

Another Metal Gear Character Joins SSBB
Thought Metal Gear's Snake was a enough for Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Wrong! MG's Frank Jaeger, the Gray Fox, is joining the fray as an Assist Trophy.

Metal Gear Box Set Doubtful For 2007
After speaking to Konami USA marketing VP Anthony Crouts earlier this year at Comic Con, he gave us hope for a stateside release of the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Metal Gear Solid Collection, a package that stuffed six Metal Gear games and two bonus discs into a budget priced package. After hearing nothing about a release for the past three months, I bugged Kojima Productions producer Ryan Payton about the possibility of it shipping outside of Japan before Metal Gear Solid 4 hits. Our hopes? More measured, but Payton says it's still a possibility. More »

Is MGS4 Really Kojima's Last? Konami Begs to Differ.
Hideo Kojima has gone on record that MGS4 would be his last Metal Gear game. But will that really be the case? In one word, "no," at least according to Konami marketing VP Anthony Crouts.I'm sure he's never going to let go of Metal Gear Solid—trust me. [Snake's] a big character, so as a franchise I think he'll always hold it near and dear to his heart...In one capacity or another, he will always be involved in the Metal Gear franchise.
In one capacity or another, we've sort of stopped believing Kojima when he says he's done with Metal Gear. And apparently, so have his colleagues. More »
