After Peace Walker co-op is a must. It've been a blast to play.

Dailynch4235d ago

It's about time we had another Metal Gear multiplayer. Awesome news if this is true.

skyward4234d ago

Maybe Metal Gear Online went offline for a reason?

doogiebear4234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

Maybe so, but i hope Konami didnt shut down MGO 2's servers just to re-use those same crappy, laggy, easily-hackable, horrible-net-code-having servers for MGO 3. They need to dump that server and start fresh. Hopefully they can bring back MGO 2 (but on psn servers only) so we can play that while we wait for MGO 3....

listenkids4234d ago

MGO without the insane work around to get it installed, make it simple and one click to log onto the MP and this will rocket. MGO was an amazing MP experience, it deserves recognition.

Razmossis4234d ago

Unfortunately, I think that the depth of gameplay and steep learning curve that comes with a game like MGO will be too much to cope with for the masses that have absorbed dumbed down games like COD and BF for so long.

If it's not as simple as point and shoot, people will be turned off by it, I remember a lot of players 'punching the air' instead of shooting when MGO2 started lol.
I also suspect that younger players won't be as capivated by the game if they aren't being constantly rewarded for their actions by having points flash up on screen or killstreaks to aim for.

We can just hope that Konami hype the shit out of the game and make it simple to access so that as many people as possible actually try it, then hope that some people just 'get it', while the masses while probably go back to COD.
A few thousand fresh players would be a success by MGO standards anyway.

MGO <3

this is kind of a no brainer - every Metal Gear game since Snake Eater has had some kind of multiplayer.

Well it has to be better than the first game

What? I was replying to The3faces

mkis00773d ago

It won the majority of goty awards in 2019...

mkis00773d ago

I mean you can disagree with the Earth being round...

F0XH0UND92273d ago

You mean the game that won a bunch of awards and has an 83 on opencritic?

EvertonFC72d ago

83 is good, not sure what you are getting at.
You must miss loads of great games.

jimb0j0nes73d ago

Kojima definitely assembling the Metal Gear Solid avengers for Physint

1nsomniac73d ago

Is this really anything to get excited about? MGS5 was an absolute cluster f...

DarXyde73d ago

Gee, I wonder if there were any contemporaneous issues internally while the game was being made?

Nah, couldn't be. Game was released exactly as intended.

Samonuske73d ago

And regardless of its issues, it still had arguably the best gameplay in the series.

mkis00773d ago

The gameplay was amazing, coming from one who didn't play any of them until 4

Yui_Suzumiya73d ago

MGS ended with 4 for me. I want Hideo Kojima to get the Snatcher IP from Konami so there can be a remastered release and a sequel.

mkis00773d ago

Well 4 is technically the last in sequence right?

Chocoburger72d ago

@mkis007

Unless if you want to count Revengeance, which I started a new playthrough of recently, and damn is it still fun.

CDbiggen72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

Yeah it was, he didn't want to keep making MGS and it showed. Even if he was given the time by konami to finish it, what was there was already so weak that it's hard to see what could've salvaged it. The gameplay was quality no doubt. I still cringe at the characters and story though and the jeep scene.

Xbox and Playstation Keep Playing Russian Roulette, Except Kojima Is the Gun

The Nerd Stash: Kojima Productions as a whole is nothing without Hideo Kojima himself and the backing of either Xbox or PlayStation.

Lets be honest Kojima is a Playstation man through and through and his effort on the MS project will be minimal, experimental and lip service at best. Once DS2 is complete he will focus almost all of his efforts on this new Stealth IP for Playstation, thinking anything else is just denial.

The3faces73d ago

Must be nice to be the official spokesperson for Kojima. Lucky you

VenomUK73d ago

What I noticed was that Kojima’s spiritual Metal Gear new IP having game and movie integration/overlap/continuati on (in some way) sounds very much like the vision he revealed at the Game Awards regarding his partnership with Xbox.

Some chump was recommending he sell his business to PlayStation - why would he do that? He has his own company, it’s making big money, he’s partnered with the biggest names to create his dream projects. Hideo Kojima is winning.

Laxus73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

So you think he's gonna intentionally blemish his reputation with a bad game... Because console wars? That's crazy.

I think O.D is a Spiritual Silent Hill and Physint is a spiritual Metal Gear.

Crows9073d ago

If OD is cloud based...I'm sorry but that's a stretch. The Xbox thing is probably a little project he's had in mind.

Random N4G PS fanboy : "just a small little project"

derek73d ago

Yep, Microsofts move to pay Kojima for his canceled Google project was a desperate play for relevancy. Just like them paying Sega for Persona, a genre game xbox fans largely aren't interested in just to say that they have quirky Japanese games on their platform to, same with
square and it's Mana game. Of course Kojima will focus on the project that will get the most attention from from the gaming public and make the most money.

Michiel198973d ago

so how should they try and have japanese made games on their platform then? Also was sony just desperate then that they threw 3.6 billion at bungie just so they can say they have live service games or does it only work one way?

Xbox never had as many japanese games as Sony/Ninty but they always had a couple of (good) japanese games on their platform, nothing wrong with having a amazing game like Persona 5 on your platform, I don't see how you can even give such a bad take about having persona be available to more players, astonishing.

Lightning7773d ago

MS provides the tech and funds for the OD project and you think he'll just ignore that game? You really think MS would allow that? Every person that thinks straight knows that, that's not how it works. That N4G logic in on another world of nonsensical stupidity.

purple10173d ago

They didn’t actually say stealth
They said espionage.

This is better for me I don’t have the nerves for stealth but a James Bond esque game with a bit of puzzle solving/ detective work and minimal stealth, would be great!

We all know Kojima likes his freedom and we know what console developers get the most freedom🤷🏿 only an orchard full of moldy brains would think otherwise.

neutralgamer199273d ago

VenomUK

i took that as him saying there will be no difference from gameplay to cutscenes. Equal amount game and movie. Something he wanted to achieve with MGS but with PS6 tech he will have that. I am sure sony will discuss PS6's specs with him so he can provide his feedback and know what he is working with

Workshyskiver

even he said his partnership with sony goes back 3 decades so yes i am sure he is a playstation guy through and through but i don't think he will short change xbox

phoenixwing73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Neutral you're not wrong. There is absolutely no reason for Kojima not to do his best with od its got his name associated with it. It's not like Kojima to half a$$ anything.

Workshyskiver73d ago

What I meant is the scope and effort put in to the project. I'll be shocked if OD is as big in scope as DS, DS2 or his new game.

neutralgamer199273d ago

i agree with you on that. OD is something he is expermenting with IMO

DaniMacYo73d ago

X Box is a dead market. All they got is money talks.

mastershredder73d ago

Hideo is more like a cracked Whiffle ball bat. Roulette? No, he’s more likely to stub a toe in the shallow end of the pool and cry. I love how he’s a superficial champion because people liked and fan for his games, shallow minded as f. You need to seriously crack the curtain open.

Kojima Productions is nothing without its misplaced and very skilled staff (what you think Hideo came up//made/designed all this himself? are you nutz?). Hideo is 100% NOT a business man (As evidenced with his behavior and dealings with Konami’s funds and his own studio (eh…yeah that bridge is sooo krispy and still smoking).

Elitism, drama and ego have no place in gaming and it’s a constant theme with KP. Don’t give a f what their new game is about, and Hideo did that himself. Go suck an 1000 year old egg Hideo. We’ll expect to see your studio did for you on sale few months after release and free within a year. I’d love to see his staff go-western (since he likes to) and grow a pair and leave him flat on his ass).

These days Hideo comes off worse than an annoying influencer desperate for clicks. More news about his studio BS or the ‘innovation and special magic’ they infusing into a game rather than giving news on the actual game, and then we get shi7 like death stranding….

Kojima’s OD features a “social scream system” for Xbox, patent claims

Kojima Productions and Xbox Game Studios forthcoming game OD files some strange patents, echoing Death Stranding's own strand system on PS5.

Time for the memes let's go

Crying would be the most used

jdoe123d ago

No both the headline and the article are totally false. There is no file for a "patent" just the trademark, which the article hosts hyperlinks to but seems to deliberately misquote.

YourMommySpoils123d ago

That makes sense. Kojima definitely knows what gamers are in Xbox. XD

obidanshinobi123d ago

More pretentious guff from Hideous Kojima.
Can't wait.
