Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has revealed an extended trailer and details of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the PSP title announced back at the E3 games how in June.

“The new trailer that I am about to show highlights co-op gameplay,” the designer told the press. “It’s about working together to maintain stealth, creating a new kind of tension you did not encounter with other MGS titles.”

The lengthy trailer elaborated on the E3 teaser trailer, which showed four Snakes on screen together. The new game will support up to four-person co-operative play, allowing for linked movement while sneaking and shooting, double simultaneous takedowns, battlefield resuscitation (chest compressions, that is, not mouth-to-mouth) and multiple-Snakes-in-a-box stealth action.

The trailer’s intertitles promise team infiltration, covert operations, coordination, cooperation, combination and comradeship. 

More will be revealed at the Tokyo Games Show in October, says Hideo Kojima.

The Peace Walker trailer (stay tuned for a link) debuted at the Konami conference at Gamescom. Other highlights were:

Exclusive, world premier trailer: Tower of Shadow (the current working title), set for release in Spring 2010. A interesting-looking Wii game, this, in which you play as a shadow, manipulating light and dark to get around levels.

  Axel de Rouge, lead producer, announced Krazy Kart Racing, an iPhone racer that “should be released by the end of the month”. Comes with accelerometer and touch controls, as well as up to six-person multiplayer. “Personally, the iPhone is my favourite [gaming platform] by far. It’s set some unexpected new standards,” says Rouge. 

Dave Cox, producer of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, revealed a new extended trailer for upcoming action-adventure instalment in the much-loved Castlevania series set to feature the voices of Patrick Stewart,, Jason Isaacs, Robert Carlyle andNatasha McEllhone.

“This game is a true love letter to the classic Castlevania games I grew up with. But it is also its own game,” says Cox. “This isn’t a rehash, it’s a rebirth.” 

The father of PES, Shingo ‘Seabass’ Takatsuka took to the stage to talk about PES 2010: “We received so many requests about new moves of the players, we added around 300 new moves and signature moves for the players as well… Now the players can move in all directions, freely.”

“Another new factor is the setting of formations… We added these new features since we heard many requests that PES should become a more true, real football experience… You can now play strategically, almost as if you were the manager of the team you are playing with.”

Finally, the PES creator announced the release dates: November 19 for the Wii, November 5 for PSP and October 22 for PS3, Xbox  360 and PC.
