Kojima drops new MGS4 hints

It's been all quiet on the Metal Gear front since the stunning fourth instalment was detailed at this year's E3. But despite being in the thick of development, series mastermind Hideo Kojima recently found time to attend the San Diego Comic Con, where one intrepid message board user managed to extract a few fresh tidbits of MGS4 info.

According to the photo-filled message board post, Kojima revealed at the Comic Con that MGS4 will be fully playable at next year's E3, dashing any hopes of hands-on action at this year's Tokyo Game Show. Apparently, Kojima also blurted that the MGS4 team is aiming for 1080p support in the game at Sony's request, and that he is currently trying out several ideas with the PS3's motion sensing controller, including using it to snap enemy's necks.

Talking about his other big series, Kojima also apparently revealed that he has an idea for a new Zone of the Enders game, which should please fans fearing poor sales had put an end to the series.

In other MGS-related news, Kojima Productions also revealed today its plans for the Leipzig Games Convention, where no less than four MGS titles will be on show. Guns of the Patriots will apparently be represented via a "spectacular video trailer," although it's unclear at this point whether it will be a new trailer of simply a rehash of what we've seen at E3. Brand new we'd suspect and indeed hope.

We'll be on hand at the Leipzig Games Convention next month to find out.
