One of the most exciting titles headed to the PSP this year has got to be Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The first gameplay trailer was posted by konami on youtube yesterday. There is some pretty rad stuff shown in this trailer, especially the Dark Knight-esque parachute used to airlift incapacitated enemies out of the combat zone called the Fulton Recovery Device. You also have an invisibility blanket, a scanner for disabled bodies and a slew of tranq darts.
The storyline for Peace Walker bridges the gap between MGS3 and MGS, if that makes sense. The chronology goes MGS3, Portable Ops, MG, MG2, MGSolid, MGSolid2, MGSolid4.
The point is that this time you play as Big Boss, and there’s like an army of Snake clones that can play the game with you via online co-op (up to 4). You’ll play through what happens between MGS3 Snake Eater, and the original Metal Gear. This one is personally directed by Kojima as well.
After watching the trailer, you’re likely to move this one to your must-buy list. No matter how corny it gets, there’s just always something special about Metal Gear. Peace Walker is available May 25th in the US…
Why do people bother writing up these articles if their information is completely wrong? If you’re an aspiring journalist I recommend picking another career path, possibly a sperm doner to animals.
They aren’t Snake clones.
From Gamespot: “One of the big new additions to Peace Walker is cooperative multiplayer action for up to four players. Gamers can pick from one of four Snakes, each with its own equipment and focus on stealth, combat, or a mix of the two.”
Sounds like clones to me…

The game has 4-player co-op with everyone playing Snake on their screens. But on other’s screens you are not Snake, you are one of his soldiers. There ARE no Snake clones in this game, it’s just designed to flow seamlessly from single to co-op gameplay without altering the story. You are always Snake on your screen.
