As you may know the Japanese Special Edition and Premium Package for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will come with an art book, unlike the Collector’s Edition for the western markets. However, it looks like Kojima Productions is planning to release a full size art book in the west as well.

On Twitter, Kenichiro Imaizumi, senior producer at Kojima Productions, responded to a fan asking for the art book in the collector’s edition, saying: “Sorry no plan. It will cost more. However we’re working with art book project with other partner in western market. Stay tune.” This won’t be like the Japanese art book: “Japanese one is small art book. About same size as DVD case. I am talking about real art book for licensing product.”

YES. YES. YES.

Hopefully they will get in touch with a company like Udon. Their Valkyria Chronicles releases are very well localized.

 

[Faustek]

YES. YES. YES.

!!!!

MINE

 

[atr0cious]

Yes,please. Shinkawa is all you need for me to be there.

 

[VR_RaidenXOF]

That and the full soundtrack and we'll be golden.

 

[SJRB]

And now you know why only Japan gets a [small] artbook with the collector's edition.


Because FUCK YOU GIVE ME MONEY.

 

[Stereogatari]

Yeeees. This is the CE I want.

Now if only I could get the Making Of Blu-Ray seperately...

 

[qualitydisc]

This pleases qualitydisc greatly. *gets out checkbook* How much do you want, Konami?

 

[hirokazu]

Well then, I guess I'll cancel my Japanese SE preorder and put that towards the ridiculously overpriced CE. And then look at getting the proper artbook later.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The type of art book japan gets is pretty much a sample of what the true art book of MGSV will be like. It's like how the collector's edition of Bioshock Infinite or Borderlands 2 came with a small art book that had about half of the art compared to what the big hardcover complete versions had. You rarely get a complete art book in collector's editions nowadays.

 

[Stereogatari]

Surprised this is not getting more hype, but I guess it's because Americans are sleeping.

 

[Augemitbutter]

i will buy it.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

Aw yeah, hype!

 

[Akiller]

This is good ,isn't it?

 

[Sojgat]

I'd expect something like what came with the MGS HD collection.

That thing is nice.

The artbook on the right looks small? But the one on the left looks decently sized.

 

[Sojgat]

Just a weird angle, I think. I own a copy, and it's about the size of a standard comic TPB.

Love that artwork, sad that I never got this .

Ideally I want something coffee table book sized, like the FFXIII CE guide or the Naughty Dog artbook. Proper chunky.

 

[Betty]

Well fuck yes, I knew the guide book would contain some art, but a whole dedicated art book is perfect.

Do want, Shinkawa is one of my favourite video game artists.

 

[the_batman]

an art book.. yes that's what i want from my video games.

i remember i got the one for the MGS HD Collection but i think it came standard.

 

[ArtHands]

Its a good news.

Unfortunately it seems the older MGS art books are no longer in production anymore.

Now I'm imagining a mega bumper MGS Artbook Corpus; MGS1 book, MGS2 book, MGS3 book etc.

 

[Arttemis]

A nicely bound hardback filled with Shinkawa's art... I'd gladly look at that!

 

[NateDog]

As I expected, happens with basically every MGS release. Looking forward to this one.
