I want Snake as the lead character. And I want a REAL Metal Gear game too. Please don't do something wacky with this game Konami.

I dunno if it'll be a "real" Metal Gear game ... with MGS4 in development at the same time and the PSP not having a PS2 sized userbase anyway, I don't know if they'd want to spend that big of a budget on this.

Something that's multiplayer oriented might be cool though, like Metal Gear Battle or something where you spy against other people and they try to kill you and vice versa. The MG universe certainly has enough interesting characters for it (ie: Ninja hunting Snake and so on).

What feature can only be done on a PSP/handheld?
Will be fun to see what it is.

That's for another PSP game they have. They either have 2 or 3 PSP games in development right now.

It will be a different team working on the PSP version. Also, the PSP is fully capable of having a standard Metal Gear game on the system. Game Boy Color received a Metal Gear Solid game and it was pretty damn cool (One of the few Gameboy games I own), so I don't know why PSP couldn't have something similar. Even if they would keep the top down view I think it would work fine on the PSP screen because it is a widescreen.

Solid Eye System!!!! YAY!

Nah seriously... this is good news. I was kinda hoping he might have a stab at a PSX MGS quality game too, but he's said time and again the PlayStation brand is where this particular set of fans are at. I'm cool with that if thats what he wants.

I wasn't into MGA and have 0 anticipation for MGA2. This should be good.

That's for another Team Kojima's PSP game - not MGS related.

O RLY? And you heard this from where... your ass?

Why wouldn't be the game he was talking about in his blog?

This is a Metal Gear Solid game, then there's Metal Gear BD. Now that one could possibly be the one he's talking about in his blog or something seperate. He's never mention MG BD in his blog specifically despite the name being revealed in Okamura's blog.

MGS: Mysterious Dungeon

Japanese voice over for Raiden is truly shocking.

Real Metal Gear titles don't worry about userbase, they create them.

Regarding the upcoming MGS (not AC!D or BD, mind you) PSP game - and it's relatively old info

During the Game Convention of Leipzig, mythical Hideo Kojima entrusted that he's considering a possible version PSP of cult Metal Gear Solid PlayStation version. This adaptation, if it takes place indeed, would be developed by the team of Kojima Production and would contain some additions of gameplay already seen in Metal Gear Solid 2 . Moreover Mr. Kojima once more confirmed that the series Metal Gear Solid will remain exclusive in PlayStation of Sony

 

[Mrbob]

^^^

That would be a disappointment. I would buy it, but I would rather get a new MGS game, with gameplay mechanics introduced from MGS3. Lets start seeing some side stories on PSP.

BD was never a game, neo just cleared up that confusion by making this thread. And Kojima original said a MGS game would never work on a handheld when explaining why they made MGA, so this is highly likely the game he was talking about in his blog that the directors of MGA and ZoE wanted to direct. It's obvious he's doing something to make MGS more suitable in his mind for the PSP, but of course since neither of us know we shouldn't make any assumptions.

Yes it is

METAL GEAR SOLID BD PSP

It's been in his blog since October. Okamura is going to produce it.

It's going to be a PSP comic, not a game, you were even in the topic when we were talking about it so long ago.

What I meant is that its something they have in development for the PSP. It's a digital comic (like Snatcher and Policenauts) so I guess there's always some disagreement on whether or not they're games.

Uh .... yeah.

It's not 1998 anymore.

 

[Fusebox]

I can't see your point.

Metal Gear was only an excellent series in 98?

Here is another comment from Kojima on the game:

http://thepspnation.com/index.php?/weblog/kojima_reveals_metal_gear_solid_psp/

"Even though it’s only on PSP, it’s going to be pretty amazing. It might be too new for people. I don’t even know if they’re going to sell this thing. I mean, I find it interesting myself, though who knows what people will think of it. Really, though—it’s just a normal game. Only with one little thing radically different about it."

What does this mean? Hmmm.

 

[soundwave05]

Everyone in the game will be ... naked.

 

[BorkBork]

 

[hahahax]

What does this mean? Hmmm.

I means the UMD will self-destruct when you die in the game.

New Metal Gear Solid For PSP
Hideo Kojima confirms development of new PSP entry in MGS franchise.
by Anoop Gantayat

We have a feeling that Metal Gear Acid 2 didn't perform up to expectations in Japan (unless Konami had been anticipating a debut at number 26 in the top 50 sales charts from Media Create), but that isn't stopping Kojima Productions from continuing the Metal Gear series on the PSP. This time, though, Hideo Kojima and crew are attaching the "Solid" name to the title.


In an interview featured in the latest issue of Famitsu, Kojima confirms the development of what he refers to as "a completely new Metal Gear Solid" for the PSP. This new game is not a new Metal Gear Acid, nor is it based off Metal Gear Solid B.D., a digital comic set for Japanese PSP release in Spring of 2006.
Kojima is, expectedly, shy with details on this new game, even joking that he wasn't supposed to have announced it to be a "Solid" title. Of the game, he says "it's something that can only be done on the PSP," joking that because it's so completely new, he's not sure if it will end up being released. He states, again jokingly, that his team will produce an alpha version of the title and let the interviewer sample it (yes, Japanese interviews are full of jokes).

Doing away with the jokes for a bit, Kojima states that if readers heard the game's full title, they'd know what it's all about. And he adds one more comment, sure to set speculation meters off the charts: "It's a normal game, but one area is different."

So the comment about it can only be done on the PSP was about this game. I really can't think of anything that the PSP can do that can't be done on some other system.
