The Metal Gear Solid fans are gonna love this one!

Announced completely out of the blue by Konami yesterday, the MGS4 Database will be a downloadable, standalone program for the PS3 detailing the entire history and knowledge-base of the Metal Gear franchise.

A handy little feature of the Database is a "spoiler sensitive" system that will keep MGS4 related information blacked out if you have yet to complete the game.

And the best part? It will be completely free (yes, FREE) to download from the PlayStation Store!

The MGS4 Database will be up for download on the US PlayStation Store, but there's no word yet on an European release; there's little reason why there shouldn't be though, so expect news incoming on that soon.

Full details below!

The MGS4 Database is a free, downloadable interactive application that contains the official knowledge base of everything that is Metal Gear, reaching all the way back to the very beginning of the franchise. Including complete storylines, character profiles, relationship diagrams, and much more! The MGS4 database is a great way to catch up for someone new to Metal Gear, as well as a useful resource for any veteran of the series, with complete official details on every aspect of the intricate Metal gear lore.

The MGS4 Database also contains a special feature – if you want to make use of the database, but have not yet fully played through MGS4 yet and are worried about spoilers – all MGS4 spoilers are “blacked out” until you’ve beaten MGS4. Give it a try!

But that’s not all, within MGS4, check out the EXTRAS option of the main menu (if you haven’t already). There’s already new, free downloadable content available for the game - with new camouflage and a new music track for the in game iPod. There will be more forthcoming, so be sure to check this often!
