Do you remember back around the time of April Fool's seeing
this video depicting Snake in an Altair costume? That was hilariously good fun. Of course, we all thought that was just a nicely played joke; however, it isn't a joke. It's reality. Gamers can actually put Snake in an Altair costume in
Metal Gear Solid 4 as part of a collaboration with Ubisoft's
Assassin's Creed. Does this mean we'll be seeing reciprocal costume exchanges in the next
Creed adventure? Maybe.
This is just one of the many tie-ins revealed at today's
MGS4 Completion Ceremony held in Japan.
MGS4 is going all out with the
advertising collaborations: celphones, iPods, motorcycles, and
energy drinks. We just hope all this in-game advertising is subtle (it probably will be unless Snake starts flashing cheesy grins at the screen with product in hand). It's good to hear that the game is officially celebrated as done. Now, all we need to do is wait for June 12.
