BAM

/me waits for McWill.

Quick! erect the storm barriers i sense excitement levels at at critical mass! ¬¬

multiplatform as well

Nice

fail.

Raiden was only made cool by Snake being more vulnerable, snake could whip his ass all over the shop (and does) in MGS2 style.
Obviously I'll get it but I'm sceptical

Oh cool but Kojima retired from MGin1987!? 1990! 2001? 2004 O.o after 4 in 2008. a new MGS . We all suspected it was coming but I didn’t think it would be so soon. I’m not too pleased to be honest I felt that MGS4 nicely wrapped up the storyline though it did get a bit silly at times.

Adding more to the existing story will be difficult considering all the loose ends are tied up and the crisis has been resolved. We know what pissed off big Boss, what happened to the Boss and the origin of the philosophers so there isn’t really anything a prequel can contribute. Unless they start raising people from the dead (again) and create a very predictable and pointless story line they have to take this in a completely new direction. But I don’t see how they can keep it fresh and faithful at this point



Why make a new one altogether, moar death threats? or are Konami selling out?


If it’s not about nuclear oblivion, giant walking tanks, fate/destiny, Snake or sexual innuendo, why name it metal gear? If it IS about those things well MGS4 was lying and the patriots are the biggest troll in history. Well, as proven, anything that dons the title is sure to sell well, and I personally believe is the sole reason they continue to milk the franchise.

This is reflected by the fact its multiplatform. MGS4 advertisements were filled with propaganda and talk of how awesome the blue ray is. The 360 was apparently far too shitty to ever hope to play an MGS, hell, turns out PS3 isn’t good enough for it either.
For the moment we’ll forget the audio wasn’t compressed in any way. Why would Kojima suddenly lower his standards and put his masterpiece on an outdated console? How will it even play? Multi blue-ray disks on ps3? poor Xbox. maybe they’ll just intentionally make the game shorter and worse?
Well who cares considering MGS4 sold 1.3 million copies in 1 day and that’s for the worst selling next gen console. How well would it do being sold for 3 different platforms?

‘STFU’ you say; let them sell it on all platforms and make money, good for them. It will fit onto a DVD or two nicely without hours of uncompressed audio. Just make up any story its game play we want.

Yes, money is the overall aim and selling it to a larger audience is logical. So wtf was all that shit they gave us about never cutting quality? About perfect audio being so important to games? A link above states he cut other features out to keep the audio pure. How much will they need to cut to get it onto a DVD? Maybe xbox will use a blue ray player, which is fine. Except I read that the Xbox wasn’t powerful enough to handle the MGS4 game engine either! Looks like they’ll water that down as well.. Never mind, it’s not important what the game runs on as long as the game’s good. I just thought I’d point that out. The story is important, Kojima wanted to be a film director before going into games. He always puts a lot of effort into the story so it’s foolish to assume this will be an exception.

Now, the game itself is staring Raiden by the looks of it, the rest of this post assumes as much. He’s shown sporting what seem to be an upgraded version of his Exoskeleton suit. Which suggests he’s lost all his limbs AGAIN or he is some kind of bratz doll with changeable parts? Perhaps it takes place after MGS2 and before MGS4. IIRC that time involved turning emo and stealing a baby. It doesn’t really sell its self for one of Kojima’s griping stories.
Fuck it, Anyhow, we’ll assume he has his ninja attire again because of the hate he got in MGS2 lol
In MGS4 the exoskeleton gave him enhanced strength, the durability to take numerous stabbings with little injury, increased speed and reaction time, the power to lift insane weights he could even stop a MASSIVE battleshipfrom crushing an island singlehandedly. Why would someone like that need to sneak around? How can this game believably be tactical espionage action? It’s not MGS, it’s another Japanese game about ninjas.

Seriously, Excluding the new title they are 23 games, 3 interactive programs, 3 DVD’s, 7 books, 16 music albums, Acton figures, models, posters and an upcoming full length feature film! That’s not enough?!
How can you seriously continue to add to it?

To sum up for all who TL;DR
What we could have here is game Konami doesn’t think will sell very well to the western market so they tell Kojima to slap a metal gear sticker on the box. This way it’s sure to get global attention.
Just look at 'the phantom menace'. It’s awful, but because its STAR WARS crowds rushed to go see it.
Don’t get me wrong, the game could be awesome. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Kojima but I don’t think it should be an MGS.
Really hope they can pull it off but MGS should have ended with 4.


Sorry for spelling/grammar and generally bad writing. Doubt any of it makes sense tbh but it’s how I feel on it.

EDIT: i missed out the part where i said they have already been 3 prequels, and 5 sequels I’ll fix it later >_<

lol Hero! xD

Will, Your a F**in legend mate. I want you all to look at this! THIS GUY IS TRUE MGS GAMER! Admire him!

I read through it all Will, and to me. I didnt make much sense haha, but nothing really does so ^^ Noice mate ^^

lol m8 <3
its not you, it doesent make sense at all. i'm a really bad writer

i'll just say that the game will be awesome sinse Kojima is making it, but it shouldnt be an MGS. i'll leave it as that.
