Metal Gear Solid 4 database announced

Konami has announced that a free downloadable add-on for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will be made available very soon. It is announced as the Metal Gear Solid 4 Database, which is a comprehensive archive detailing characters, weapons and plot elements from the original Metal Gear title right through to Guns of the Patriots.

MCV: According to Konami, the system allows users to search via three central hubs: GENE (a glossary), MEME (which maps the relationships between characters in the series), and SCENE (a timeline for the series).

Users can jump from page to page using specific keywords, with the relevant information appearing instantly. All information relating to Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, however, can only be accessed when the software detects a save data file created when the game has been completed, as to avoid spoiling the final adventure.

A statement from Konami reported: ‘Metal Gear Solid 4 Database is a stunning – and completely free – companion to the series, and will answer any question pertaining to Hideo Kojima’s games and characters.’

Ok, so here’s the end of this video games update. Do have a happy time gaming! Do remember to be stay tuned for more video games and Grand Theft Auto news updates! Also, don’t forget to leave a comment or subscribe to our RSS feed. Cheers!
