Hideo Kojima Will Make an “Important Announcement” Tomorrow

Or we don't want the game held back by near 10 year old hardware.

You realize if last gen versions were being worked on alongside current gen versions, cancelling last gen versions and redesigning the next gen versions would mean a lengthy delay right? Which means more money spent, and money wasted. Also something to consider, who is the target audience for a Metal Gear Solid game? Metal Gear Solid fans right? Do some of you really think people are going to skip out on this due to some sort of made up next gen scale?

"Wow, these textures aren't amazing, and none of the outfits are affected by sweat. I think I'm going to wait another 5 years for the next Metal Gear game, this one doesn't seem next gen enough."

Some of the highest selling current gen games at this point are cross gen titles, both in retail and digitally. This imaginary next gen metric doesn't mean jack shit to the majority of the market, something looks neat and fun? Does it have a prestigious history? Sales.

That post seems angry or flustered to you? I offered an argument to the typical cancellation requests that plague every single MGS V thread. My argument is pretty simple and isn't venous in any way.

Can you post your expectations and what would change with last gen cancellations?

I know, I'm kidding. I know the game won't be cancelled on last gen since it was originally developed on it. It's just annoying that this game was developed for current gen in mind to begin with. Here in the US at least 204k of the 270k retail copies were sold on current gen.

Perfect.
 
I hope it's a release date but it will probably be fucking nothing

Yeah I'm honestly expecting something very small like, "There will be a new trailer at E3."

Which we already figured since he showed himself working on it.

Remakes of the two 8-bit Metal Gears.
David Hayter will return as Solid Snake

That would be awesome but that's definitely not happening
yet.

That will most likely happen but I don't think he is announcing that tomorrow.
I don't want to get hyped...
Me neither but you just can't not get excited..it's Metal Gear..

It will be something for sure, we just don't know how important it is.

You're looking at it from a money man's point of view. From a gamer's point of view, not being held back by old hardware would be a good thing.

Guys, he announced that MGS3 was his last MGS back in the days. The dude is condemned to work on MGS until he dies by Konami. He would talk on about how Ubisoft Montreal is the only team of people he would feel like they could make a decent followup, etc etc.

How important is the announcement? If it was important he should've just made it today instead of announcing he's got an announcement.

Not getting about this train again, oh no!
