So what do you do when, as any normal cosplay attendee would do, stumble apon a most majestic Raiden outfit? Well, you get your camera out and snap! But what do you do when you come across a fem fatal - dressed as a male Raiden? Well, the same damn thing - trick question? Well yes, but after seeing this masterpiece you wouldn’t blame anyone for having a perv over Raiden, female or not.

Over coat, hands in pockets, back of the cinema kinda bloke? WRONG. Raiden is who is bringing in that style, with a slight mix of her own… wait.. her own?…

Well well well, first and foremost, I apologise. For not mentioning in MGS4 Database that EU users are unable to get it! Honestly I was not informed of this, and neither was Kotaku by the looks of it.

If you’re European, and ran to your PS3 this morning, clawing like a madman for the Metal Gear database that Japan and the US got, you’ll no doubt already be sitting in a puddle of your own anguish, wondering aloud why SCEE couldn’t follow suit and make it part of this week’s downloads. Which they didn’t. No doubt it’s got something to do with translating Kojima’s tangled storyline into 17 languages. If you’ve bothered setting yourself up with an American (or Japanese, it has an english-language option) PSN account, you’ll have to jump in and grab it from there.

Considering I’m in the UK, I am unable to get my hands on the database, which is pretty fucking annoying to say the least. If the Plunket-meister (I’m gonna try to get it to catch on?) at Kotaku towers is correct about the translation, then correct me if I’m wrong, but Americans speak English. Why oh why are we always considered the ‘after thought’ for projects like these? Rather than have disgruntled European players, why not release the database a week later worldwide, for a welcomed response from everyone?

[Kotaku: Sorry Europe, no Database for You]

I’m so so so sorry. Yes, I know I do seem Metal Gear Solid 4 obsessed atm, and that probably is because I am, so Im posting everything from here to timbucktoo that has anything to do with MGS4, I promise I won’t do it much anymore, but look at these lovely videos!

Yeah, you read that right - Through the Woof! And all thanks to Metal Gear Solid 4.

As expected, and as Sony had hoped the release of Metal Gear Solid 4 has also sparked an increase in sales for the Playstation 3 - 77,208 sale is fact, which is a huge contrast to the usual 10,000 - 12,000 a week in Japan that the Playstation usual gets rid of, so GREAT SUCCESS! (Borat voice here or that just doesn’t work?)

In terms of the MGS:4 sales itself, it’s managed to offload 476,334 copies, not too bad for the first 4 days?

A superb fight sequence, Raiden really is a legend.

Well, considering everything at the moment is MGS4 this, MGS4 that, Snake blah blah blah, I thought I’d have a look at the status of the Metal Gear Solid movie planned for 2009. Considering havnt IMDB listed any confirmed actors yet, there are tons of rumors out there of who’s playing who. So I figured i’d stick my oar in and say who I think should play a few of the roles.

First choice for Solid Snake would have to be Christian Bale, first off he’s an amazing actor, and If you’ve seen Batman Begins, when he is actually in the bat suit, some of his vocal talent in that, you can tell that if he tweaked it abit, he could sound like Hayter. Oh and that fact he looks pretty damn near to Solid Snake.

Hit the jump for a few more roles such as Hal Emmerich, Revolver Ocelot and Naomi Hunter.
