"Our prayers have been answered. Metal Gear Solid 4 is on the way. Well, OK, we already knew about it. But seeing 'MGS4' and 'PS3' in giant letters up on a big screen is another matter entirely. The game is being created by Kojima Productions, the new development studio formerly known as Konami Computer Entertainment Japan, and it's being headed up by legendary designer Hideo Kojima himself. And, yeah, he happens to be directing the game, despite rumors to the contrary."
