Portable Ops crucial to Metal Gear Solid 4 story

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 8th 2006 at 10:00AM }

Everything's connected. At least, according to ~~Kevin Bacon~~ ~~JJ Abrams~~ Hideo Kojima. And, in order to fully understand the events of the amazing-looking Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3, you'll have to buy yourself a PSP. The two upcoming PSP-exclusive Metal Gear titles (Digital Comic 2, Portable Ops) will establish the story for the next-gen sequel. "We'd like you to definitely play it [the PSP games]," Kojima was quoted saying. "If you change the Ops story, you have to change 4. If you change 4, it also becomes necessary to change Ops. Until Ops is finished, 4's story can't be finalized." We'll all get a taste of the Guns of the Patriots' storyline when Portable Ops hits the system in December.

Well I played 1,2,3 and I will play this one to , so Im gald this will be an important game for the story . I probably wont play 4 for a long time , so this are the types of games the PSP needs .

In agree with 2,control Otacon with the PSP would be sweet.
I think i have read more about this.The PSP is not necesary to finish mgs4,at least if you want the normal ending then the Psp add it a lot of stuff,extra levels endings making a new MGS4.

The best Mgs story using the 3 games will be rated online,the best will be used for MGS5.

This is no BS.

I don't know if it will be released in December. I think December 6 is a default release date.

Anyone remeber talk about otakon being controllable by the PSP(or was it a second contrller at the time?) when the first trailer came out? Could this be kind of what they mean? I would really like to see crossplatform multiplayer between the PS3 and the PSP. I can;t think of any next-gen sequel that is coming out any time soon(Which is really wierd) for the PS3. Anyway, THAT would be SHWEEET! A PSP could litterally, figuratively, litterally kick the PS3's ass
