@ Nyxus
Great work as usual

On a side note can you tell me you is voicing Hal's father Huey in MGSV.

[Nyxus]

It hasn't been announced yet. I assume it will be Christopher Randolph though.

[Need4Game]

Good work Kojima, don't waste your time on Gimmicky Kinect & SmartGlass "Gameplay". More Focus on the Great Story.

[Eamon]

Yeh I doubt Hideo Kojima has any intention to replace the Emmerich voice.

I don't perceive this mo-cap news as good news, to be honest. I was actually hoping that they had finished all the mo-cap stuff.

I was hoping for a holiday 2013 release date, but not sure how likely it is as they are still doing mo-cap work.

[Shuyin]

The fact that they still do mo-cap probz means they're still quite far away from releasing the game. I assume we will see it in Q1 or Q2 of 2014.

Man...I want me some MGO3..

;(

[TesMgsFan]

Yeah MGO3 best online game ever !!

[Donnieboi]

^This.

[angelsx]

That mean the game is far way from release?

[Rynocirator]

Not necessarily, mo cap in this sense is being used for the cutscenes involving hand to hand (cqb) combat, I would assume. You obviously saw gameplay and animations that were mo cap quality in that 9 min trailer they showed. All they need to do is do the mo cap for these said scenes and place them in where they had no cut scenes before. Do a bit of debugging, testing, and the scene is golden. They already did the major mo cap for the gameplay long ago is my guess.

[KrimsonKody]

I don't think that mo-cap would actually take that long. I think mo-cap would be used primarily for characters to "express" themselves in cutscenes. Other things, like soldier movement, common gestures, etc., can be rendererd & generated, rather than doing a mo-cap for each & every basic soldiers' movements.

[CrossingEden]

evidently you have no idea how game design and mo cap work -_-

[Eyesoftheraven]

Can I help!?
