Snake himself (the real-life, writerly version) is facing yet another threat (and this time, it's not from another Metal Gear prototype).

In another move to kill off the online capabilities of the PlayStation 2, Konami has recently announced that the online multiplayer component for Metal Gear 3: Subsistence will be no more as of April 2 this year.
Kotaku reports: "For those of you who felt gypped by not being able to get a US version of the MGS Anniversary Collection, it seems that Konami is throwing you something of a bone. PlayAsia is currently taking pre-orders for Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection for the PS2 that includes the original Metal Gear Solid as well as the directors cut of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. The listed price is $34.90 plus a $4 dollar shipping charge. If you are looking to delve into the world of MGS before MGS 4 comes out, this is the perfect way to do it at a reasonably low price".
It's become a tradition for Konami director Hideo Kojima to hold a stage presentation every year at the Tokyo Game Show. This year was no exception, and he appeared on stage a the Konami booth talk about the new bosses in MGS4 and giving some additional information.
