To understand everything that the Metal Gear Solid franchise has put on the table you would most likely need a Cliffs Notes booklet handy. From spies to who is the son of who, and who killed him when he was dead before while someone else was controlling the controller.
So if you are one of those gamers who want to know a little more about the backstory of MGS, Konami yesterday provided players a database that will hopefully answer all of your questions.
According to the official PlayStation Blog:
"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.
The MGS4 Database also contains a special feature – if you want to make use of the database, but have not yet fully played through MGS4 yet and are worried about spoilers – all MGS4 spoilers are "blacked out" until you’ve beaten MGS4. Give it a try!"
I have to admit I am one of those people who would love to get a chance to have everything about MGS slapped in my face, so I’ll be expecting to download this soon. Anyone else thinking of checking this out as well
