Peace Walker Now Holds Release Dates For Japan, UK
Metal Gear Solid: Peace WalkerWell, now both Japan and Europe have release dates for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Just don't leave North America hangin', Konami!
It has been officially announced that Peace Walker, quite possibly the most anticipated handheld title to date this generation, will launch on May 28, 2010 in the UK. Dubbed as "the next true chapter" in the story of special ops expert, Snake (a.k.a. Big Boss), this is essentially a direct sequel to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which released on the PS2. In the past, series creator Hideo Kojima has expressed a great fondness for this title, calling it the legitimate "Metal Gear Solid 5" (rather than the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Rising, which is being handled by a new, younger team). Of course, the Japanese will get a chance to play this bad boy on March 18, a good two and a half months before Europe...but at least those two regions have release dates. Perhaps this is something we'll learn more about next week, when Sony holds a big gaming event in New York City and promises some significant third-party news. For many PSP owners, Peace Walker is the game they've been waiting for, so the sooner it arrives, the better. Can anyone say "Portable Game of the Year"?
Just about anything Kojima touches turns to gold, which is why we're all excited about the possibility of a new Zone of the Enders. See, if his name is on it, everyone will automatically generate the requisite hype.

P.S. I am not much thrilled about Raiden and his legacy.

BTW has anyone seen any extended use reviews of the PSP Go? I'm interested in how the device plays out in the longer term for users with bigger hands. The big question....Does it induce cramping?

When Resident Evil,Silent Hill,GTA,Devil May Cry and Tekken goes multiplat for the 360 they ended being dissapointing.
wonder if the MGS Rayden its going to be only a decent game .

I love the fact that Xbox thinks it got Metal Gear Solid. Remember Xbox it's a spinoff! and PS3 is going to get a piece of that pie also! Ha!

I could never get into portable ops, largely due to the lack of second anologue nub,
and i cant shake the feeling that if this really is a "true MGS sequel", it should be on ps3 not psp.
We have Micro$oft to thank for that

These extra time is to make games more visually pleasing. This is why the gaming industry is turning to cheap Wii titles and multiplatform for extra cash.

i mean seriously look at him in MGS4 he almost dies so many times than somehow miraculously comes back as fit as a fiddle, rinse and repeat.
makes it extremley hard to believe.
if thats not far fetched than nothing is.
is snake a cat or something?
actually no, must be a hybrid cat or something because hes well past 9 lives by now.

Peace Walker takes place directly after Snake Eater and before Metal Gear on the NES. Naked Snake(Big Boss) isn't the same as Solid Snake in MGS1, 2 and 4. Solid Snake is but a clone of Big Boss.
Play all the games. Then you will understand. MGS4 is the latest installment in the time line. Peace Walker takes place many years and many games before MGS4. The old man that died in the very end of MGS4 in the trench coat and cigar, Big Boss/Naked Snake. He is the Snake in Peace Walker. Solid Snake in MGS4 doesn't make an entrance until MGS1 on the PS1.
It's convoluted, I know.

I've only played the Japanese demo, I hope David Hayter returns as Snake.
