The dust is only starting to settle onlast month's first gameplay demonstrationand Konami's already preparing Metal Gear Solid 4's next public appearance at the Leipzig Games Convention in two week's time.

"This will be the first time for Konami Digital Entertainment to show a playable demo of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots in Europe," the company said in a statement.

"Aside from showing a completely new trailer and playable version of the videogame, Hideo Kojima promises to bring along a very special guest, whose identity is kept secret for the meantime."
