Next Kojima Game Certain To Be New Metal Gear… Famitsu Let’s The Cat Out Of The Bag
Being the party poopers that they are, respected Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu have printed an interview (censored to a degree it would seem to keep the juciest details secret until next week) with Kojima Productions big cheese Hideo Kojima.
Kojima-San confirmed that not only was a new Metal Gear title in development by the MGS4 team, but also that Raiden will feature prominently in the title. In fact to this end, a picture was shown of an older, cybernetically augmented Raiden. This also ties in with the climax of the newest Kojima Productions site countdown, which has an image of none other than the Big Boss flashing in front of the screen and yet another countdown, this one presumably to E3.
OK in a nutshell what we know about the new Kojima Productions title is this:
1) It *is* the next entry in the Metal Gear Solid series
2) Raiden and Big Boss feature
3) It will be revealed at E3 2009
Roll on E3 2009.

The Next Grand Theft Auto IV DLC: The Ballad Of Gay Tony
First of all, no, I kid you not.
The second DLC pack to be exclusively released for the XBOX 360, GTA IV: The Ballad Of Gay Tony is due for release this autumn for 1600 Microsoft Points.
According to Rockstar “The Ballad of Gay Tony follows Luis Lopez, the assistant to the nightclub manager Tony “Gay Tony” Prince. In it, players will, “struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price.”
Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games offered this statement:
“Liberty City is the most vibrant game world we’ve created yet. The episodic structure has allowed us to interweave stories, gameplay and atmosphere in a whole new way. The team at Rockstar North have yet again surpassed themselves, and made something that is both epic and very innovative. This episode’s focus on high-end night life contrasts with the biker gangs portrayed in The Lost and Damned, whilst giving us a lot of new gameplay possibilities.”
In addition to this, Rockstar are planning to release GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City, a standalone retail based compiliation of The Lost & The Damned DLC as well as the upcoming Ballad Of Gay Tony for £29.99 in the autumn.
Hopefully we’ll get more on this soon.
