‘Konami Surprise’ revealed on PlayStation.Blog
We can finally reveal (we have known for a while now) on what the ‘Konami Surprise‘ is. Its on the Official PlayStation.Blog and its called the MGS4 Database:
The MGS4 Database is a free, downloadable interactive application that contains the official knowledge base of everything that is Metal Gear, reaching all the way back to the very beginning of the franchise. Including complete storylines, character profiles, relationship diagrams, and much more! The MGS4 database is a great way to catch up for someone new to Metal Gear, as well as a useful resource for any veteran of the series, with complete official details on every aspect of the intricate Metal gear lore.
This sounds like a very exciting and very important feature and will be hitting the US Store tomorrow. If you worried about spoilers if you havnt completed MGS4, fear not because all spoilers will be blanked out till you complete the game (yes it sounds like it can even read your save data).

Can’t wait to get ahold of this. I am currently on the second one and still have number 3 and 4 to go in the series. I can’t believe I have gone this long without playing this phenomenal series this long. I’ve missed so much. I’m so glad they came out with the Essential Collection.

This is good for the people just getting into MGS with MGS4. Now they won’t have a big “?” over their heads when they watch the cut-scenes.

This would be extremely useful in Europe where people are less familiar with the franchise. Heres hoping it becomes reality even if i can download it from the US Store since its free.
