The latest PlayStation Dengeki Magazine contains an interview with a Metal Gear Survive developer staff about their upcoming title. The staffer confirmed that "a lot" of the developers from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be returning to make this game. In the interview we also get some tidbits of the single player and multiplayer as far as the level of difficulty is concerned. Multiplayer will consist of four players and will be easier to take on waves of "Creatures" compared to doing it alone in Single Player.
Metal Gear Solid Delta is going to have to overcome the same obstacles that helped sink the franchise's last installment, Metal Gear Survive.
"In addition, the game will likely lack the bizarre charm, humor, and depth that can only be found in games that Kojima himself worked on."
If its a remake that stays loyal to the source material how is this an issue?
Kojima cultists are wacky
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "No matter what you think about Konami these days, they are sitting on a beloved IP that still has tons and tons of potential for great new stories."
Likely nothing. After Survive failed Konami knows they can't capitalize on that franchise without Kojima. And Kojima doesn't want to make MGS games anymore, for a decade he kept saying he wanted to make other games.
It's so frustrating that we hear absolutely nothing. Remember, this is what Konami said six years ago: https://www.metalgearinform...
They could easily remake old MGS games with the TPP game mechanics and engine, but they won’t.
It’s a shame one of the most innovative game directors also spent most of his career establishing his ideas with a company that doesn’t take pride in innovation.
Pachinko machines work for Konami, so they will continue that until it doesn’t.
Konami has updated all of their MGS games that are available on the current-generation consoles. This includes Metal Gear Solid V and Metal Gear Survive.
- Modification of the Agreement Process
These are the patch notes that are accessible on the PS4. The update has been reported to be just under 500 MB. It will be available to download on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. Just don’t expect to find any new content or a patch to upgrade the game for the PS5. There is no such change included in this update.
Headline had my hopes up for a next gen upgrade but... it’s Konami, I should know better.
Whoa! I completely forgot Metal Gear Survive existed at all. It's like it was actually just erased. Weird. I wonder if it's actually as bad as people said it was...
Still dont know how I feel about Metal Gear Survive.
I feel pretty good about this game. Its not a standard metal gear but I like the concept.
The thing I liked the most about MGS5 TPP was the mercenary aspect. Weapons development, soldiers "recruitment" and tactics to approach enemy bases and all. The creatures and supernatural missions were the worst for me tbh.
If removing those aspects make it a "not-metal gear" game, then a new franchise with the private ops/ mercenary focus would be nice.
It's the same as a pirate franchise from ubisoft after AC IV Black Flag.
