Kojima breaks the MGS4 silence as only he can

Fans of the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4 are salivating at any bit of information or footage they can obtain regarding the title, especially since Kojima andd his team underwent a media shut down a while back.

Now it appears Kojima has "re-emerged" to show off some new gameplay footage but with a twist. Apparently Kojima has a fond appreciation of the game Assassin's Creed and the video below shows us some new MGS 4 gameplay with an Assassin's Creed twist.

Although no official word has come through way of Sony or Kojima Productions, it is an interesting video and is completely believable as Kojima has done this before. He has integrated characters from the Ape Escape and Rumble Roses universes in the Metal Gear Solid series, as well as lending Snake's likeness to the folks over at Nintendo for Super Smash Bros. Check out the video below:

    Awesome! Would be cool if you got to play as Altair after beating game once. Seriously, Altair with an AK-47 is badazz! note: Assassin's Creed producer is hot!

    A nice change, from monkeys to assasins. I wonder what other suprises Kojima has in store for us? Perhaps some home goodies? I wonder if they will have enough time to pack them into the game.

    EPICCC. I like that they made the costume look so exact. It'd be such a waist to not use it in the final product :)

    Hehe, awesome stuff. Actually made me even more excited to play MGS4, and I've already played the demo. Can't wait. I really hope nobody gives this game a bad review and taints it. Just like X-Play did with Crisis Core. Did you guys see that? Are you kidding me. The average of it is like an 8.5 and they go and give it a 4 (2 out of 5) and pretty much put on display their hate for Japanese culture. I'm never watching that show again.

    during the battle I heard the noise that rations make when they appear on the ground, i.e. like when you shoot the fruit out of the trees in MGS3

    @Stickemup I with you on X-play. Their reviews are so hit and miss sometimes it makes want to puke.  I rarley watch the show and even when I do, I take their reviews with a grain of salt. They will give DDR, Tony Hawk and Madden games 4 out of 5 all day. But when I really good game liked FF CC comes along the trash it. Not to mention it seems G4 is 360 biased anyways.

    Vid was cool. I liked how snake made that one MG fall over at the end. At first I didn't know it was Snake untill he had a smoke.

    Stickemup, don't even get me started on morgan and adam. they are losers and x-play aka x-box360 play is a trashy biased program. there i'm done ranting.

    Oh my God. I already watched that video on Gametrailers.com earlier today, that is so old.

    But anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if Kojima would incorporate Altairs costume in the MGS4 game as a costume or disguise. We all know that the MGS games are known for there secret/hidden content in the games, and I would bet money that Altairs costume will be unlockable in MGS4.

    I just can't wait for this game. MGS4 is definanlty important to the PS3. Thank you so much Mr. Kojima for this gift known as Metal Gear Solid 4 and the Metal Gear Solid series as a whole.

    it would be so cool if the assassins blade was a weapon you could find in the game. im mean, there are over 70 weapons, so its possible right?

    I certainly hope this is a aprils fool.

     

    Metal Greed? Omg, I never hope this will happen. Asassins Creed sucked so bad, please don't spoil a AAA title with that.

    If this was just a joke, they've alot of time on it. But it would be really cool if it was a bonus skin or something. Oh, and have Orbital Frames off of Z.O.E. to replace the metal gears. Altair vs. Jethuti...
