As we come close to the wildly anticipated release of Konami Digital and Kojima Production's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the latest Kojima Productions Report has interesting tidbits about the Sony PlayStation 3 exclusive that should get you more excited. If anything, this session 85 is a blowout of Metal Gear Online details.

Those who are itching to get their hands on MGO have more reasons to look forward to the upcoming beta outside Japan, since assistant producer and host Ryan Payton dropped quite a lot of snippets about the game. Similar to Call of Duty 4's formidable multiplayer mode, Metal Gear Online will feature heavy customization with equippable abilities that players can level up. Like CoD4's perks, you'll have the option to move faster or improve your accuracy by utilizing abilities that improve over time.

During the discussion, Payton stated that Metal Gear Solid 4 will indeed be on the 50GB dual-layer Blu-ray disc. Looking back to reports of MGS4 creator Hideo Kojima saying Sony's format doesn't have the capacity his masterpiece needs, Payton explained that Kojima Productions initially had the single-layer Blu-ray in mind and it simply couldn't hold the stealth action epic. Developers then considered shipping MGS4 in two discs, before Sony offered them the privilege to be the first ever dual-layer Blu-ray game.

The Kojima Productions Report went on to put the spotlight on Metal Gear Solid Mobile which already earned awards before it even reaches handsets. Find the whole podcast by clicking on the "via" link below.
