MGS4 screens show new terrain, hint at flashbacks

The Metal Gear Solid 4 hype machine seems to have kicked into full gear these past couple of days. MGS4 news has seemingly plastered our blogging wall daily with flash games, peripherals, and more gameplay news. This time, we're continuing the coverage with these new screenshots that look distinctly different from what we've seen before.

Most of the previous MGS4 screenshots depict the center of wasted Middle Eastern city. These new screens, however, show a bit of grassland and rocky terrain as well as some indoor shots, too. There's even a shot of Snake controlling Mk. II with a DualShock 3. The picture above suggests you'll be tracking down your stats such as Headshots and CQC take downs. Most interesting is the "flashbacks viewed" stat. Does this mean there will be several playable flashbacks to previous MGS games ... like this one of Shadow Moses?

New Metal Gear game hinted at

Did you really think the flood of Metal Gear news had already ended for today? Well, it hasn't. As the MGS4 Completion Ceremony came to a close in Japan, one final audio clip of Ocelot on the phone suggests that plans for a new Metal Gear game are already underway. 1Up translated Ocelot's phone call monologue and wrote down the Russian triple-spy's exact lines: "By the way, what should we do about The Project?" and "It's about the sequel."

1Up suggests that the new title may be MGS5; however, we think that with Solid Snake out of the picture, the Metal Gear series will continue with a whole new moniker. Metal Gear Raiden anyone? Perhaps Metal Gear La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo?

MGS4 Japanese box art unveiled


With all the MGS4 news flying around this week, unveiling the game's official Japanese box art was only the natural next step. You could even say it had "no place to hide." Oh my, enough of the horrible puns.

The Japanese box art seems a little bit drab compared to it's predecessors; we wonder if the US box art is going to be a whole lot snazzier. A headshot of Snake is nice, but we'd love to see Liquid Ocelot too; and of course, Raiden -- because we just know how much you all love Raiden. But seriously, this artwork is a nice way to salute the aged Snake ... or maybe it's just a fun way to show off his saucy mustache.
