Really excited for this game. Can't even imagine what it will play like.

I do feel like the hype might hurt the game, though. Whatever Kojima produces with be special no doubt, but we should keep our expectations in check.

 

[Servbot24]

I would hope so... they need to keep Kojima on tight leash.

What? That's the exact opposite of what they need to do. Let him go absolutely insane.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I just want to know the genre.

Umbilical Espionage Action

I would hope so... they need to keep Kojima on tight leash.

Maybe that's the plot

 

[Marcel]

What? That's the exact opposite of what they need to do. Let him go absolutely insane.

I'm willing to give Kojima the benefit of the doubt but let's not pretend his insane ambitions weren't at least part of the problem with regards to MGSV being such a mess.

 

[Drencrom]

I'm still interested in how a third-party game is able to use a Sony engine on PC?

Because it most likely isn't a third-party game at this point.

 

[somecrazymember]

Wait... were people expecting this game to come out soon? The guy got fired and started Death Stranding 2 years ago..

It was always a first party game

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

At least it is playable. Gives me hope.

 

[Fried Food]

Man I don't want to know or see a thing about this game. But of course there will end up being GAF threads that have titles like "DS is a .... type game!!!!11!"

 

[Nameless]

Well it has been in development for nearly 18 months. I think it'll be ready mid 2019.

Cerny already said he did see an early gameplay of the game.

 

[shwimpy]

Yes but Sony is a business... the last thing they need is Kojima going on a spending spree. Make sure he's progressing at a decent pace.

 

[yuraya]

Most dissapointing and boring game this gen.
solid gameplay doesnt mean jackshit when the world and mission design is trash.
Not to mention the worse freaking bosses ( there was 2 bosses right? ) In any mgs game.
Getting released after goat W3 didnt help either. Maybe in a alternative timeline were w3 didn't get released it would have been fine to accept the mediocrity of the open world in mgsv.
While we are at it, I thought GZ was much better.

Technically speaking there was 8 boss fights. Even more if you want to nitpick. Like 4 of them you can completely avoid using stealth. Which is actually a very refreshing and unique experience as far as open world games go.

Witcher 3 and MGSV are completely different open world games which execute very different things. Different genres as well so there is no point in directly comparing them.

Ground Zeroes is MGSV. They are one and the same. So the fact that people like it so much just shows how great MGSV is as a complete package.

 

[Breakage]

I never understood the whole "fuck Konami" movement. It seems Kojima was spending money as if he didn't give a shit.

 

[Marcel]

You can blame both. You can also shit on Konami for being much more petty and bitter post-MGSV release. Did you really not hear about Konami playing politics and preventing Kojima Productions from getting health insurance for their employees?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Kojima has my buy. But I expect this game to flop.

Nonsense. Sony will push this hard like they have for a Naughty Dog game, Spider-Man or God of War, and Kojima's previous games have done like 5-9 million in sales. I expect this to be just as big.

 

[Breakage]

Nah I didn't. I'm sure Konami acted in a bad way too. I just don't buy the idea that Kojima was 100% innocent. The fuck Konami stuff suggested that imo. But anyway let's hope it's not repeated at Sony.

 

[SJRB]

I couldn’t explain to you what the game is…

..is probably one of the most exciting things he could've said about the game. It's going to be crazy, Kojima-tier insanity indeed.

 

[JuanLatino]

fixed for you

 

[oti]

"I have played it. And by 'it' I mean the first quarter of the first cutscene. It's about bananas and futuristic soldiers. Futuristic soldier bananas."

 

[Solrac]

is this game exclusive or "exclusive" ?

 

[painey]

it makes me so sad that FOX Engine is going to waste

 

[Betty]

is this game exclusive or "exclusive" ?

You'll only see it on Sony's console.

 

[funkystudent]

is this game exclusive or "exclusive" ?

Sony owns it.

Its as exclusive as Uncharted or Gran Turismo.

 

[Sora the Cat]

Is open world, would have been excited if it had more emphasis on being crazy and focused like the old mgs games. Instead it's like the worst mgs.

Speak for yourself. MGSV is the best mgs game for me, and one of the best games I've played.

 

[David___]

is this game exclusive or "exclusive" ?

IP is owned by Sony, so exclusive as far as consoles go

There was a PC version planned, but since the announcement of the partnership nothing has been said about it

 

[Van Bur3n]

Can't wait for the exclusive world pemiere gameplay trailer at this year's TGA.

Spoiler

I'm only semi-joking.

Not before we see Geoff Keighley burst into tears at the sight of Kojima.

 

[Whompa02]

YUS! So excited to see what this game is

 

[Theslammer]

I'm willing to give Kojima the benefit of the doubt but let's not pretend his insane ambitions weren't at least part of the problem with regards to MGSV being such a mess.

"Mess" is the last word I'd use to describe MGSV.

The cut additional ending was a bummer, but the game as a whole? Incredible. Peace Walker already held a special place in my heart, but Phantom Pain took it to a whole new level.

 

[ExInferus]

this only started development/pre-prod. last year, right? So probably still 3 years off, if not more. Kojima takes his time

 

[ScaryShark]

Surprising. I still think it's a PS5 cross-gen release.

 

[Pinko Marx]

I just want to know the genre.

I'm expecting Kojima to implement a lot of the things he learned about movement and such in MGSV.
He's said he's going to be a mature action game or something to that effect. I mean, I at least hope Kojima realizes he was into something when he made V, and that type of movement in a more complete game (that's also not tied down to two decades worth of narrative baggage) could be heckin awesome.

 

[Masagiwa]

I am not expecting this game to be groundbreaking. Does anyone even know how many people are working on this title? Is this an AAA looking indie title?

Hideo Kojima is brilliant but I am positive he doesn't have the amount of people and resources he did at Konami.

 

[Hoje0308]

So pre-Alpha...

Do you even know what that means? Of course it is.

 

[mortal]

This is the game that I'm anticipating the most.

It's honestly impressive how much progress Kojima and his team have made since the falling out with Konami. Just a year ago they didn't even have a complete team, studio space, or an official engine for the project. Now they've designed running prototypes.

Obviously, this game is a ways out from release, so I wish Kojima and his team the best of luck and hope that development goes as smooth as possible.

 

[Apathy]

Is cerny helping on the game in any capacity?

 

[Skeeter49]

is this game exclusive or "exclusive" ?

Last we heard it's console exclusive. But that was before Kojima settled on an engine.
Might have axed the PC version, eventually they'll have to talk about that.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I dare say with Sony money and the engine choice, the PC version will be quietly forgotten about.

 

[Jakartalado]

Based off?

Perhaps based on 30 or more years of failure over his entire career.... WAIT

!!!

 

[Hahs]

C'mon! Kojima @ E3 is like Elon Musk @ NASA, taking notes...seeing what NOT to do

 

[LiquidSolid]

Is cerny helping on the game in any capacity?

He's credited as the Technical Producer on the game, so he's presumably helping out a bit.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

I'm sure using GG's Decima engine really helped because Kojima doesn't need to take time building a new engine and the engine is awesome, the game should look and perform very well.

 

[Doctor Ironic]

Burned by what exactly?

The greatest stealth game of all time?
The best gameplay in any game ever?
Or was it because its the only open world game on consoles that runs @ 60fps this gen?

*does the eighth Destroy the Enemy Tank Squadron mission while waiting a full 24 in-game hours for their next gear upgrade*

Best gameplay in any game ever!

 

[Dragon Puncher]

I remember when this game was announced and thinking "this isn't coming out until 2019". Now it's, "I don't think this game is coming out until 2021".

I think 2019 is possible. That's still a 4 year dev cycle, I could see it being a crossgen game in 2020 though.

 

[Apathy]

He's credited as the Technical Producer on the game, so he's presumably helping out a bit.

I figure Sony would also have him in there trying to keep kojima on the path to get this released before it costs half the company

 

[Son Of Sparda]

 

[LiquidSolid]

Because every game in Kojima's 30+ year career went well over budget. SMH.

 

[CocaMantis]

Cerny also played the game and said that "it is a Hideo Kojima game indeed".
Gameplay and female lead reveal at PSX for sure. I also need to see Madds and Reedus togheter in a scene.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Because every game in Kojima's 30+ year career went well over budget. SMH.

And even if MGSV's budget is real, it's not bad at all. 80m for an open-world game developed on a new engine and released on five different platforms simultaneously? Oh, and every version of the game is pretty damn polished. That seems pretty damn good.

 

[Yung Dolphin]

We knew the game was years away when it was announced. Why are people clamoring for a long hype cycle just to say "it can't live up to the hype" when it does release lol
