The Characters Of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Last week Konami and Kojima Productions released a trailer for their upcoming game, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. This PSP exclusive will be hitting stores April 28 in Japan, June 8 in North America, and June 17 in Europe. To feed your Metal Gear Solid need however, here's a new trailer to keep you busy.

I really like how this trailer not only introduces each individual game character, but it also gives the voice actors a bit a of the spotlight. Most people know that it takes an entire team to make a game, not just one producer, and so I'm always happy to see people get credit for their hard work in more than just the game's ending credits list.

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Was Supposed To Be Metal Gear Solid 5

Kojima Productions has come and said multiple times that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is the "spiritual successor" to Metal Gear Solid 4, but as it turns out, that's all too true. Right before E3 last year, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was dubbed Metal Gear Solid 5: Peace Walker. In the short trailer shown at E3, you could catch a quick glimpse of the sneaky number "5" making an appearance. Shortly after the video was shown however, Kojima Productions decided that they would save a direct sequel for a later date.

If you're a Metal Gear fan, and especially if you were a MGS4 fan, I'd highly recommend you pick up Peace Walker as it's sure to follow in some of its predecessor's footsteps.
