Thats so cool

What do us Europeans get...a figurine. Thats it

No Steelbook, Artbook, Soundtrack, just a figurine and the hillarious part about it is that we pay more then you guys. It works out at £93 for yours and we have to pay £99 for ours.

I think I'm going to import one, why do we always get screwed over with most collectors editions. Whats stopping them releasing this edition over here in the UK

Nyxus4173d ago

Not even Europe, only UK is getting one as far as I know. But yeah, it's really overpriced, I agree. The Japanese CE is the best one if you ask me.

Jinkies4173d ago

Oh just the UK...jeez thats bad

I mean fair enough if the Zavvi Limited edition came with the Steelbook but it dosen't. It's a GAME exclusive if you pre order there. Surley they would of done it so GAME would of had the limited edition so if you like you could get the steelbook with it.

I just like how a Lamp is differnt from most other editions out there. Usualy these days it's just a figurine or a statue.

Everytime they have something differn't and unique to a CE it's not available any where else but NA.

this has inspired me to go get a plasma lamp

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion324d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken324d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501323d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken323d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992324d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion324d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears324d ago (Edited 324d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic324d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne324d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B324d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.

Why We Need Metal Gear Rising 2

Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!

In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
