Kojima seems like a safe bet on that one. Probably for Sony and MS.

It's Geoff, count on some random programmer sitting in the audience at both conferences.
OMG GTTV exclusive interview with EA programmer!

 

[Darkpen]

:lol

 

[SolidSnakex]

Shinkawa is no longer doing art and design for the Metal Gear franchise, which means they no longer have his stunning art to use for promotional purposes.

He said MGS4 would be his last MG when Kojima said it would be his last. Now look where we're at.

 

[panda21]

:-O gamescoopz was right!

 

[Graphics Horse]

I think you're reading way too much into this. Shinkawa is no longer doing art and design for the Metal Gear franchise, which means they no longer have his stunning art to use for promotional purposes. High quality renders are the replacement. Which is much, much better than getting a new artist, and especially better than using the Portable Ops guy.

That and they've never used in-game models to promote a game which hasn't even been revealed yet!

Talking of the Portable Ops guy, what happened to that thing he wrote about being signed up for Portable Ops 2? It was denied, naturally, but it never seemed to make sense if all his other PSP work had been finished by then.

[GekigangerV]

So . . . Cyborg Ninja Raiden has a super immune system?

 

[Chemo]

He said MGS4 would be his last MG when Kojima said it would be his last. Now look where we're at.

Kojima is notorious for not following through with that claim. He wasn't supposed to direct Metal Gear Solid 2.

Shinkawa has never quit before. Have you seen any Shinkawa art post MGS4? Nope. This site would have had Shinkawa Big Boss and Raiden if he were on board, Kojima always used his work in reveals.

 

[infinityBCRT]

They don't talk about anything specific, just that Kojima Productions will be at E3 and that they are excited about it!

Actually they did say they had asked if people wanted ZOE3 and got an overwhelming positive response.



As for this game... We know that Big Boss had a cyborg body in MG2, and Raiden had a cyborg body in MGS4. The first Snatchers started to appear about 30 years after the events of MGS4. Maybe the people behind the cyborg bodies of Big Boss and Raiden just added heads on the discarded bodies.

 

[SolidSnakex]

We'll see when the game in unveiled. But i'd be extremely surprised if Shinkawa wasn't doing the art.

 

[Turk]

New S3 plan....

It's Geoff so it's a safe bet to presume that it's one of the infinity ward people showing up at both conferences to show off Modern Warfare 2. :lol

[Chemo]

Prepare yourself for shock and awe, then.

He may do the cover, or a promo poster, but if we haven't seen his work on the site, he's almost assuredly not the designer this time around. Which kind of goes hand in hand with him quitting.

I would have guessed Kojima too, but after the Examiner article saying that Epic is working on a PS3 exclusive, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Cliff "Dude Huge" Bleszinski.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I would have guessed Kojima too, but after the Examiner article saying that Epic is working on a PS3 exclusive, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Cliff "Dude Huge" Bleszinski.

Would he be working on two games though? It seems like he just works on a game at a time. I'm expecting it to be Kojima. This new MG will obviously be one of them (and as i've said before, I fully expect it to be multiplatform), i'm not sure what the other would be unless he's going to unveil Lords of Shadow at one of them.

I think the next MGS with be multiplatform as well, but I would guess Lords of Shadow is demoed at MS' conference if I had to pick. I think the Gears development team is at the point where they don't need to have dedicated oversight from Cliff. I'm sure he'd like to work on something in addition as well.

Being back to back with his Epic tweet would seem to make it too obvious as Epic though.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Maybe this is how the two game's covers will be. Each one has a face.

 

[∀ Narayan]

So . . . Cyborg Ninja Raiden has a super immune system?

No, his blood is nanomachine based while he's in the cyborg suit.

[Kastro]

oh gawd.. if that's sunny im gonna kill myself.. kojima already did enough damage in mgs4

 

[Nemo]

Yeah, that's definitely Sunny then.

 

[Epcott]

Looks like it is, but I hope it's not. She seemed to have more promise as a support character, like an Otakon successor.

 

[Chemo]

If that's Sunny, I guess Snake kicked it because it looks like she's got his bandanna tied across her eye.

I'm sure that's been pointed out a billion times, but in a thread this big? Who fucking knows.

 

[jetpacks was yes]

Honestly I'd rather it be Sunny cause that means that the game takes place after MGS4, starting a new plot thread perhaps. I don't care so much about a prequel, unless it sheds light on the plot like MGS3 did. Another PoOps, eh. On PSP, sure.

And it'd be neat to play a Metal Gear with a female lead.

 

[Chamber]

I just want to hear someone explain why Sunny looks like Raiden.

Really, I'm 99% sure that isn't her.

 

[maniac-kun]

oh gawd.. if that's sunny im gonna kill myself.. kojima already did enough damage in mgs4

if anyone hurts sunny i will hurt him very badly but so that he dies slowly

 

[Blader]

If that's Sunny, I guess Snake kicked it because it looks like she's got his bandanna tied across her eye.

I'm sure that's been pointed out a billion times, but in a thread this big? Who fucking knows.

If it's Sunny, she looks about 10-20 years older, so

Spoiler

Snake would be long gone. He only had maybe a year to live at the end of MGS4.

Seriously a prequel seems pointless.. MGS4 wrapped up every thread there was ever.. that's why people hate it.

 

[Don]

I think it will end up being Raiden, but it would be cool if it is Sunny. Hopefully this new game has a lot more new characters and only a few returning characters. MGS4 only really had Drebin and Sunny, and the rest of the new characters weren't all that important.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

what if it's

who hurt her?

=OOOO

 

[Chamber]

I thought people hated MGS4 because it's retarded. Wasn't the game expected to wrap up everything anyway?

 

[Ether_Snake]

I don't think it is Sunny.

Remember, she is sort of like Otacon. Not like Raiden. Maybe the cyborg Ninja is Sunny's creation. But to think it's Sunny? She got her head chopped off and all? No way. Might even be Olga's head on that thing. The bandanna would be Snake's, the head is Olga's and it would also hide the bullet hole in the head, and the whole thing is modeled after Raiden. Basically an icon to her heroes. Otacon still being with her he isn't featured in it.

BTW, when I tried to replace the XXXXXXXXX words in the interview I think I did a pretty darn good job, and I'm wondering if anyone has the full interview or was that all of it? I want to give a shot at the whole thing.

 

[Kastro]

wat

 

[Gomu Gomu]

oh gawd.. if that's sunny im gonna kill myself.. kojima already did enough damage in mgs4

true gaming?

 

[Ether_Snake]

does the mask remind anyone else of metropolis?

also, do we think the next MGS and this mask are different projects or related?

It does look like this.

It probably is for Lord of Shadows, but the faces countdown thing, the Snatcher possibility, etc., it would all tie in nicely to Snatcher.

EDIT: Why is there no more face on the Mask site?

EDIT2: Also I think I can imagine why the suit is almost the same as Raiden's even if it is in the future; it might really be Sunny's creation, and they don't have a lot of resources so they just re-used Raiden's body/suit.

 

[-Winnie-]

oh gawd.. if that's sunny im gonna kill myself.. kojima already did enough damage in mgs4

Oh crap, I just noticed, the way Sunny's hair parts is the same as well. Shiiiiit.

 

[Alcahest]

Who started this whole sunny = raiden thing?
Is everyone in this thread high

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

I thought people hated MGS4 because it's retarded. Wasn't the game expected to wrap up everything anyway?

MGS4 was retarded because it tried to wrap up every story thread while at the same time make a new launching point for a possible future installment, which defeats the purpose of making a final title in a series in the first place.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Oh crap, I just noticed, the way Sunny's hair parts is the same as well. Shiiiiit.

Doesn't Raiden's part the same way as well?

Anyway we know the last icon for the site is a shining sun, so the Sunny connection is likely.

But I just don't believe Kojima would have had her get her head chopped. I think this is Olga's head on Raiden's body with Snake's bandanna, made by Sunny who is basically the new Otacon.

EDIT: BTW, I have some 80s-style MGS poster-style images, I have two from MGS2, one from MPO, and one from MGS1. Are there any others? Anyone know where to find them?

EDIT2: And is the whole Kojima interview what Kotaku translated or is there more? Please let me know.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I didn't realise MGS4 was so hated. I had a lot of fun with it last year. Wasn't it the GAF08 GOTY?

 

[Blader]

What part of MGS4 acted as a launching point for a sequel?

 

[Orlics]

Wait so the ACTUAL interview in the magazine had the words censored? All this time I thought that the person doing the scanning had done that. :lol

 

[DemonSwordsman]

I didn't realise MGS4 was so hated. I had a lot of fun with it last year. Wasn't it the GAF08 GOTY?

Its actually GOTF. All these people are misguided fools

 

[Xun]

I think this is Olga's head on Raiden's body with Snake's bandanna, made by Sunny who is basically the new Otacon.

Olga has blue eyes.

 

[VaLiancY]

Let's trade dawg!(It's all I got)

 

[vandalvideo]

Olga has blue eyes.

Contacts; We have the technology, we can make them different colors.

 

[Awntawn]

Screw the haters. I like it. Go, Sunny!

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

It was almost GOTF until Big Boss shat on the carpet.

 

[Chamber]

I don't recall any launching points but maybe my memory is fuzzy. I recall things being wrapped up in a rather neat bow.

I didn't realise MGS4 was so hated. I had a lot of fun with it last year. Wasn't it the GAF08 GOTY?

I voted for MGS4 in the GOTY thread. I just think it's worse game in the series.
