! Its a nanomachine

ATi_Elite4297d ago

I do one of those same routines everynight as I splash down in my bathtub.

True Story!

Gazondaily4297d ago

So this is the guy who did all the motion capture scenes for Raiden.

PoSTedUP4297d ago

god holy ****, i wonder how many dips this guy could do.

Kojima Team are BEASTS. congrats.

epic song too!!!

-Mezzo-4297d ago

Cool, that's what you call a Multi-Talented guy.

Batzi4297d ago

Kojima should have won the medal.

Mainsqueeze4297d ago

Kojima couldnt even dream of doing what this guy does sorry. Hes a good game maker but this dude here is nuts.

mafiahajeri4297d ago (Edited 4297d ago )

Are you implying if Kojima put all his time and effort into this sport he wouldnt be able to do it? How can you possibly know? Sorry but comparing them dosent make sense. Its like telling some guy who hasent ever played basket ball " Theres no way you can dunk the ball like Lebron James".

Also that comment was obviously a joke, you should have just laughed and moved on...

Mainsqueeze4297d ago

I honestly don't think it was a joke, people take their Kojima pretty seriously. No i'm not implying that if he put all his time and effort into this that he couldn't do it, they guy said "Kojima should have won the medal". And no he shouldn't of, not in a million years. Even if Kojima did put all his time and effort into gymnastics he couldn't do what this dude did...he just won an Olympic gold dude.

cruxito4297d ago

shutup.. both guys are in totally different jobs..is like saying HOPE SOLO wont ever win an Oscar as NIcole KIdman

Nate-Dog4297d ago

@mafiahajeri: Well Kojima is over 50 years old I believe so...

But seriously if Mainsqueeze is like me he's probably sick to death of all the massive Kojima fanboys on this site that say (and would probably believe) stuff like this.

guitarded774297d ago (Edited 4297d ago )

Kojima is a gold medalist in making games :D

I would rather have Kojima's career than Uchimara's.

Other topic: I don't think most of the comments in this post understand that Uchimara works for a completely different division of Konami that deals with fitness/sports... not gaming.

Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.

VenomUK1h ago

It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.

Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.

SimpleDad3h ago

Of course, they rereleased MGS series on modern platforms. Thank You Mr. Kojima.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218336d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel36d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia35d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken92d ago (Edited 92d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit
