Today THQ announced that they have entered into a worldwide licensing agreement with Konami granting them exclusive rights to develop video games based on Metal Gear Solid 4.

Hideo Kojima, the director of the upcoming cinematic gaming experience, told Next Gen that he is extremely pleased with this deal. "I had always felt that the Metal Gear Solid saga lent itself to video gaming, despite our famous emphasis on story. Some have even confused our groundbreaking computer generated cut scenes with video games," he recalled with a smile.

The closeness of the deal to the release of Metal Gear Solid 4 makes it impossible to release a game in that time, so the first game is expected to be released sometime in the holiday season this year. It is expected to be released for the PC, PS3, 360, Wii, and PS2, although such details are only speculation.

When asked about what kind of games THQ would be developing, company reps said we would have to wait until E3 this year, for the first trailers to be shown, although they said that Kojima is already closely working with the development teams. One anonymous source said that the Splinter Cell series is heavily influencing the game Kojima wants to see.

Perhaps I shouldn't have put the smilie in the title. Controversial titles do seem to get more traffic.

April Fool's was last month.

 If you were actually trying to trick people instead of just making a harmless joke, yeah that probably would have been better. You'd probably would have had a dozen people swarm in, not read your post, or read it and not check the link and the hilarity would endure. Right Rol?

I was actually just commenting on the nature of message boards.

As for my intent, it was simply satire, sort of like The Onion. No, I'm not comparing myself to them, just stating I was trying to do something in the style. 

THQ thats funny! dont they make wrestling games.

But more importantly, a lot of licensed games from Disney and Nickelodeon. 

The post is simply too unbelievable.

You could have at least tried to make it sound more convincing!

utter bullcrap...but there is more of a chance of this than MGS4 gong to 360.

And the ds version has better graphics and has a multiplayer of 1000 person in a mmrpgmgs4.
