Hideo Kojima wasn't at E3 only to reveal Metal Gear Solid: Rising on Xbox 360 : the day after the Microsoft press briefing, the father of the MGS series made an appearance at Sony conference to uncover Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP. This episode will take place after Portable Ops, and will relate the birth of Outer Heaven.

This(Peace Walker) is MGS-5: Sequel to MGS3, Prequel to rest of the MGS games and next iteration in the series.
It is not like MGS: Rising, that is a spinoff on MGS4, but the true sequel in the series...
As for this being the 'true sequel'... I'm not convinced. It may slot into the MGS timeline quite nicely and is a continuation of the series, but is this next proper MGS? No, not a PSP game.
I think it was said to take the sparkle off the MGS: Rising announcement - probaby to try and tame the anger from Sony loyalists. Spin-off or not, I still think that's going to be the next main MGS game - it just won't be with Solid Snake.
Game looks great though, I hope Konami puts Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops on the PSP store, it was a GREAT game.

including: He (kojima) describes Peace Walker as the "Metal Gear Solid 5 inside me."
BTW I wonder why so many people here try to make this MGS not true part of saga (even Kojima said it is). They are graphic whores? Don't own handheld?
And unknown_23: I've already said this looks really good visually, and I own a PSP. So, you can't put me in that boat.
