So much has been revealed at E3 2007 that is enough to send gamers into a frenzy. First it was the news of a slimmer PSP, then it was the news of Gears of War heading to PCs and now here is something that will sadden many gamers especially those who are huge fans of the Metal Gear Solid Series.

We’ll give you the good news first. The latest Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer was shown to all those who were luckily present at Sony’s E3 conference.

The latest MGS game is called Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and is being developed for the PS3 version. The new trailer features new real-time footage and gives players a glimpse of what they can expect from the final game.

The new trailer also showcases the return of popular characters from the Metal Gear Solid universe including Meryl Silverburgh and Raiden. Again, these characters will be voiced by the original actors.

Now for the bad news; Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will be releasing only in early 2008 by Konami. However, it will be a worldwide release. Fans of the MGS series will surely have to wait a real long time for this one.

MGS series director Hideo Kojima made this announcement and along with it he also dropped a bomb saying that this latest chapter in the MGS franchise would be his last.

Not only that; he also said that MGS 4: Guns of the Patriots would be the last chapter in the franchise.

Now that we have come clean, you must know that Kojima who promised that this would be his final involvement with the franchise, has made this claim a number of times before as well.

One thing’s for sure, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will be a great game and it being a PS3 exclusive game will only do justice to the platform and vice versa.
