One lucky conventioneer ran into Metal Gear Solid producer Hideo Kojima at the San Diego Comic-Con, nabbing not only a sweet photo op, but some interesting, semi-unofficial details on the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4. Among the highlights:
Expect MGS4 to be in playable form next E3. He gave me a "hint" as he put it, and said to expect it to follow like all the MGS games have done in the past. In that they were always shown in playable form for the first time in the same year they were released.
MGS4 will be 1080. I'm assuming 1080p, but he said 1080. He said Sony is "forcing" them to do it in 1080. He hesitated when he said this. Im thinking he could not find the right word, and chose to say "forcing."
No way it will fit on a DVD9. Wouldn't give me a number as how big the game will be. But went on about how Sony is pushing HD content and in no way will it be possible to fit it on a normal DVD, and BD is totally necessary for MGS4.

Hmmmmmmmm so atleast this is some indication of BD need for HD/nextgen games.
