PES 4 SECRETS REVEALED AT TGS?

Winning Eleven 8 to show off " updated" elements

15:19 Size isn' t everything, but when you' re trying to drown out everyone else' s games on the floor of the Tokyo Games Show having the biggest booth doesn' t hurt.

That' s why Konami has made sure their presence at TGS is going to be bigger than anyone else. But don' t think the Japanese giant is compensating for a shortcoming in another department: the latest versions of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Enthusia - Professional Racing and female wrestling lycra-fest Rumble Roses will all be playable, and the first solid details on Oz, the new game from the acclaimed team behind Suikoden, will be revealed.

Perhaps even more excitingly, Konami have promised that an " updated" version of Winning Eleven 8 will appear, " featuring elements from the forthcoming European release of Pro Evolution Soccer 4" . Having played both versions extensively we know there aren' t too many glaring gameplay differences, so could these new elements be the eagerly-awaited Xbox Live modes that Konami announced last week? It would make sense, since the actual scope of these Live features is yet to be confirmed.

Konami will also be showing off four new games designed for Sony' s PSP including Metal Gear Acid, the portable strategy version of the legendary series unveiled back at E3. Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django, Hideo Kojima' s light-sensitive GBA project, will also be available to play as will Neo Contra and Ys VI: The Ark of Naphistim on PS2.

Check back soon for info fresh from the floor when the shows kicks off on 24 September.
