As you may have previously predicted, Hideo Kojima's promised reveal during tonight's PlayStation 4 launch livestream in New York City didn't shake out to be anything huge — but the ability to play as PSone-era Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes should still prove a cute little extra for fans.

News Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's PS4 Exclusive DLC Will Sail to Other Shores
You'll need to wait six months for it to arrive, though

Rumour You'll Be Able to Exchange Real Cash for Money in Grand Theft Auto Online
Cash injection
