Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is an upcoming stealth-based game being published by Konami and developed through Kojima Productions for the PlayStation Portable. During an interview with Famitsu magazine, Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima confirmed that this project was "a completely new Metal Gear Solid" for the PSP and will be part of the series' canon. It will not be a side-story like the previous Metal Gear Ac!d games, nor a remake.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops has attracted the talents of several high ranking members from Kojima Productions including Shinta Nojiri as the project's director and producer, Shuyo Murata, and Kojima himself.

Session 56 of the HideChan! radio program revealed details about the game. It will be an interquel set between the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and the original Metal Gear, starring Big Boss (Formerly known as Naked Snake) during the early days of FOXHOUND. Gameplay will consist of squad-based action, in which the player takes control of several soldiers at once. The game will feature full cinemas and voice acting. The game's graphics will be on par with those of the series' PlayStation 2 installments, but with a lower polygon count.

Interestingly enough, not only do Big Boss, Para-Medic, Sigint and Major Zero appear as playable characters, but in the teaser, Ocelot, EVA and Raikov appear as recruitable characters that will lend him a hand as well.

Controls

Although the PSP doesn't have the R2 and L2 buttons, or two analog sticks, its controls do resemble those of Subsistence. The square button is the melee attack and/or CQC, depending on which weapon is equipped. If the left trigger is held it will fire the equipped gun. Circle merely brings up a cross-shaped weapon selection interface (assault rifle, tranq gun/knife, sniper rifle, grenades). Triangle performs actions like climbing and pressing against walls. X is the same as always, for diving and lying prone. Finally, holding the right trigger enters first-person aiming mode, while the D-pad moves the normal, third-person camera.
