New Hideo Kojima EGM interview

EGW: Are the Gekkou robots that Snake fights actually miniature Metal Gears?

HK: Hmm... the essence of a Metal Gear is different. The Gekkou may use some of the same technology you've seen in past Metal Gears, like bipedal legs and weaponry, however it isn't a weapon with the lethality of a Metal Gear. It's more of a jeep or a tank.

:lol Oh f***
 
That music comment has the me most excited. A soundtrack scored with the tonality of the E3 '06 theme song would be amazing.

is Harry Gregson-Williams still on board for MGS4?

Not really sure, some say yes and others say no. As of now the only person confirmed is Nobuku Toda. Hibino and Harry haven't been confirmed as of yet.

Wasn't there a recent picture of Kojima and Harry together on rollerblades? It's not confirmation, but still...

Innocent people were killed in the trailer? Where? All I remember seeing were troops.

Gekkou's eat and poop? OMG, will we see them eat people?

The theme of machines controlling humans makes me think while Raiden may want to protect you, someone is going to take control of him and turn him against you.

As for the nanos, I'm guessing that's the ultimate form of control on the battlefield and what the Patriots/Liquid are going for. Soldiers with nanos can't point a gun at thier client. Imagine a nano smoke grenade, once inhaled it programs you to not be able to fight at all or target friendlies or other goodness.

The Gekkou was holding onto a dead body as drops of blood hit Snake in the shoulder, I wonder what the Gekkou was doing with the body.

Snake vs. Cyborg Ninja part deux?

You mean a nano chaff grenade to scramble the nanos?

I think that crazy rumor that came out weeks ago about MGS4 on the Wii isn't so crazy , since they confirmed that Wii would have HD ( Didn't they!?!?! Or do I have the wrong news?) , ATI confirming that this was just the " Tip of the ice berg or what ever it was " , and with Hideo liking the Wii , it wouldn't be so impossible or?

yeah it's coming to the wii
right after it's time-exclusive deal on the Phantom ends
 
Mr.Ressetti said:
Well it was just a prediction don't take it too seriously.

You might want to scratch that prediction. Kojima said when he does a game for the Wii it won't be a MG or an existing series of his because he wants to take advantage of the system completely.

I hope Kojima makes Snake WAAAAY COOOOL because i totally don't want to look uncool now that i am in the middle of the battlefield!

Snake is killed in the middle of the game and the second half takes place with him in a metal suit and shiny bald head.

Snake gets cancer and Raiden administers chemo-therapy while rubbing his head with champion babyoil!

...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BATTLEFIELD!
 
What in the hell is Metal Gear going to look like? Its crazy that it looks like it does now, when Kojima hasn't even maxed out the system yet. This also makes me wonder, how close to real life he would have gotten, if he hadn't used his traditional Metal Gear Style.
 
I wonder if the game will jump between time periods. Maybe you'll start off with a younger snake or something. What we've seen so far can't be a beginning.

They're considering having it take place over the course Snake has to live (6 months). So he could get younger, but as Naomi said his body is rapidly deteriorating and you'd see him slowly look worse as the game goes on. It's going to take place in different countries so they'll have to span some time.
 
what if he went tarantino on us and had us start at the end?
that'd pretty much be the shit
if that was some big surprise, you pop in the game, and then BAM he shoots himself. :lol

Reminds me of a certain other game.

Kuroyume said:
Show Vamp already. :D Raiden, Otacon, and Snake have a score to settle with him I'm sure. :D

I can't wait to see that! Considering that Raiden is now just as fast as Vamp was in MGS2, it's going to be one hell of an battle if there is one.

oh snap we have a winner!
 
Hideo Kojima: Yes, it is real-time, made with nearly final PS3 tools. My staff put a lot of time into, but you still see a little glitching going on. Hopefully, we should be able to fix all of that. We're only now learning how to best use the PS3, so we should be able to greatly enhance the visuals of the final product.

Funny, considering they already downgraded Snake.
 
BigBoss said:
The funny thing while I feel it has been slightly downgraded it still looks great, his hair blows in the wind for goodness' sake.
Click to expand...

it's just really upsetting to see Kojima downgrade at all, you know? He is one of the few devs that I don't expect to see that out of. Still looks great though

Slightly? lol

They probably showed off the gameplay model for a few seconds (after the Watermelon scene). They're obviously going to increase their poly budget for cutscene stuff anyway.

If that "downgrade" is playable, that's still damn good.

I'm not sure why when they've never done that before. Especially since they'll now be including cutscenes that go straight from the cutscene right into gameplay with no black screens like before. The only real difference between MGS cutscenes and gameplay have been animation and some extra effect.

and they use high-poly versions of the character models.

Considering how in MGS3 you can change camouflage/suits/facepaint and those customisation gets reflected in the cutscences I say you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

That could be handled pretty simply. But I think your right.
