After teasing fans that he'd retired from the series after MGS3, Kojima and his team are once again taking care of Snake, who's aged rapidly due to imperfect cloning technology and is now Old Snake.

Hideo Kojima must be the top name on PlayStation boss Ken Kutaragi's Christmas card list. Five years ago, the Metal Gear creator wowed the crowds at E3 with the initial trailer for Metal Gear Solid 2, giving the PlayStation 2's sales an impressive kick-start in the process. Okay, so MGS2 divided opinion when it finally appeared - and for many, the series only really redeemed itself with the appearance of the third instalment last year - but what mattered was that it looked next-gen, giving the punters a glimpse of what would be possible on Sony's new hardware.
Now Kojima and his team have done it again - pinning their colours to the mast at this year's Tokyo Game Show with a stunning trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4 which purports to be entirely real-time and, in many ways, is right up there with the quality of the Killzone trailer from E3, which attracted much criticism for being pre-rendered, even though the developers are adamant that it was all entirely built to match the specification of PS3.
Then trailer shows an aging Solid Snake - sporting an iron grey mullet, an ill-advised greying moustache and a hi-tech eyepatch called the "Solid Eye System" which allows him to see in a number of different modes - hiding out in a ruined town as a futuristic squad of enemies, tanks and creepy walking mechs (which appear to have mechanical bodies and biological legs, and look a little like descendants of Metal Gear Ray) patrol through the area.
