Konami revealed today that Hideo Kojima is working on a Metal Gear title for Sony’s new handheld, the PSP. At this early stage, definitive information is still well hidden, but we could hazard a guess at the potential of Metal Gear Acid. Konami claim that MGA will "redefine handheld action gaming", which certainly hints at some kind of gameplay innovation.
Although this is only an educated guess, it would be plausible for Acid to utilise the same technology used in Boktai 1 & 2 (Kojima’s other ‘innovative handheld action game’). By lending the PSP some form of light-sensitive gizmo, players could physically dive into the shadows to avoid detection by guards within the game, in a similar (but inverted) way to how Boktai players must light up their GBA’s to kill vampires.
Of course, this is speculation at present, but stay tuned for erm, solid details as they emerge.

Shots of this game look nice, and show the difference between PSP and DS game graphics, though I could be eating my words here in future.
Any system takes time to get to grips with as we all know, so I won't go there for now. MGA looks cool though, but what type of game is it? An action rpg, or just an action game? Konami maybe are keeping quiet for now. If anyone knows enlighten us.
