Yesterday, the first victim of the newly enforced E3 dress code was asked to leave the convention. Although not affiliated with any game, booth or company, a lady dressed up as Wonder Woman was taken aside by security and asked to cover up and wear something else. Since the woman was just an attendee and did not bring any other attire, she was escorted off the premises. The E3 organization changed the dress code this year, and although it was lauded as "no more booth babes," the official stance is merely a strict banning of bikini outfits.

In his latest
podcast, Hideo Kojima confirmed the development of a MGS installment for the PSP, scheduled for fall 2007. Set in the 1970's, the PSP iteration will be set between MGS 3 and 4, and explain Foxhound's origin, and have Big Boss as the main character. Unlike the recent cardbased games, the new title will be an action game, wi-fi enabled, graphically on par with the franchise on PS2, feature several alternative pathways & solutions to missions and oddly enough the game will feature no "continues," when soldiers die, they are not coming back. How well that will translate in actual gameplay will hopefully explain itself later...
