Konami have given some information about Metal Gear Solid 3.
Reportedly initial planning for the game started around 1 month ago, I have very little information at the moment but this is what I have.
The game is planned for a 2003-2004 release date on the playstation 2. Unfortunatly the game will not be made by Hideo Kojima, though he may be involved with the story in some way. Also Raiden will not appear in the game - possibly due to the dislike some people have expressed about his inclusion in MGS2. The title of the game is rumoured to be "Metal Gear Solid 3: The Patriots".
So there you have it, before many of us in europe have even played MGS2 we are hearing about MGS3, we have two things to look forward to.
And there's a bit more info here - http://mgsc.verticalvelocity.net/home.php
To be called Metal Gear Solid 3: Patriots of Power
Will be on more systems than just PS2 - Xbox? GC?
Not much else rumoured at the moment, Hideo is only partly involved in writing the storyline, there is a petition trying to get him to develop it (but really though, what good will singing it do?)
It would be become interesting if another developer tried to make MGS 3, could it live up to its predecessors and match Konami?
That would be a great challenge to the potential developer.
