I don't think zombies are completely out-of-place in a Metal Gear game.

guywazeldatatt2772d ago

Considering all the other crazy stuff in the games, you're right.

Aloy-Boyfriend2772d ago (Edited 2772d ago )

All that crazy stuff had some context and purpose: nanomachines technology and few supernaturals like Psycho mantis. This other dimension thing with Zombies has none whatsoever and it is nothing but a cash grab

guywazeldatatt2772d ago

@Kurta maybe so, but, it's still not a huge stretch in the universe.

UltraNova2772d ago

Darklink,

Multiple dimensions with zombies in a MGS game is actually a stretch even by their standards.

bouzebbal2772d ago (Edited 2772d ago )

they manage to exchange zombies to humans in RE, why not the opposite in MGS, knowing that there is a guy called Vamp and all kinds of genetically modified species in it.
MGS for me stops at MGS5

Fez2772d ago

@abzdiine
MGS5? I think you're mistaken... MGS only goes up to 4.

Honestly, Kojima makes some great games . . . But lately he's been coming off as kind of cocky and arrogant. He's throwing out a lot of bold statements about his new game when it's just barely started development. Considering all his crazy internet campaigns and everything, I think he kind of craves attention and the spotlight. I'd say he's one of the best game developers out there right now (individuals, not companies), but I still shake my head at some of the things he says to get in the news.

Hedstrom2772d ago

Well if you havent played a Metal Gear game i wouldnt recommend starting with Metal Gear survive. And if you have played a Metal Gear game i wouldnt recommend to play Metal Gear Survive ;)

guywazeldatatt2772d ago

I don't think it will be as bad as people are trying to say. Yeah, Kojima created the series, but he's not Metal Gear; there's an entire staff that's still there at Konami who are working their asses off.

Moe-Gunz2772d ago

He is Metal Gear. The series is injected with his personality and quirks that it is very hard for anyone to follow up.

RosweeSon2772d ago (Edited 2772d ago )

Yeah he is. Metal gear without Hideo is a non starter never gonna have the same greatness he brings to the table.

The 10th Rider2771d ago

I mean, he tried with Metal Gear Rising and it didn't work out with his team behind it . . . Then development moved to Platinum Games and they turned out a great game. He was still the visionary behind the setting and everything, but they changed a lot of things he thought were key to the game.

SCW19822772d ago

No it doesn't and neither does Konami

guywazeldatatt2772d ago

Konami screwed over Kojima but they've both moved on. The endless grudge is pointless and only hurts the developers there now.

SCW19822772d ago

They also screwed over Igarashi and in my personal opinion that's worse. Konami more than other companies really doesn't give a damn about us, why should i let them off easy?

guywazeldatatt2772d ago

it hurts the workers and devs with such blind hate.

morganfell2772d ago

It isn't hurting Kojima and all the people that followed him out of Konami. They own themselves, have a free hand and get to make the game they want on their terms

PhoenixUp2772d ago

It's hilarious how Metal Gear fans gave a pair of turn-based collectible card tactical RPGs and an action hack slash a chance with little fuss but go into a big outrage at the mere thought of a co-op survival stealth game.

guywazeldatatt2772d ago

what the internet does to video game fans...

IIFloodyII2772d ago

There was a lot of MGS fans who kicked off a fuss over MGR, mostly over it taking place past MGS4, it wasn't until it released and was really good that most started giving it a pass. MGSurvial could turn out good too, but considering what they showed it has mediocre written all over it, they haven't even gone to the effort of making a new world map, it's just Afghanistan with some fog effects and debris everywhere.

thejigisup2772d ago (Edited 2772d ago )

I was cool with MGR, and it was a brilliant short game. I will not support Konami any longer, regardless of how amazing of a game they put out. I can respect a good game, but not a crappy company.

JEECE2772d ago

You've just shown your ignorance on the matter. MGS fans complained about the Acid games until we got real portable MGS games (Portable Ops and then Peace Walker). And Rising got ripped when announced and ignored when released. MGS fans don't consider it part of the series.

Nathan_Hale532772d ago

You must not remember the "fuss" generated from MGR.

No it doesn't, millennial authors defending pc mods and charging people full retail from a company that treat it's staff members like crap needs a reality check.

guywazeldatatt2772d ago (Edited 2772d ago )

eh I think the author (one of my writers) just wants people to keep an open mind and presents an interesting argument, that's all. if it ends up being that horrible hate it like it deserves.

I wonder if they will remove the load screens? I kind of hope they do.

Tankbusta40314d ago

"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

jznrpg313d ago

If they change the script that’s where they would f up big time. They would be stupid to do that

MIDGETonSTILTS17313d ago

Try not to pivot from the smartest enemies ever to zombies.

Those aren't "Solid" games tho.

chicken_in_the_corn940d ago

They're still part of the main series

Z501940d ago

"They're still part of the main series"
No one said otherwise.

MG 1 and 2 aren't Solid games tho. Title literally says "Solid"

Just stating facts.

RaidenBlack940d ago

Pachinko ... loads of 'em.

porkChop940d ago

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.

Gridknac940d ago

Bingo! We got a winner here, show them what they have won!

Nyxus940d ago

It's so frustrating that we hear absolutely nothing. Remember, this is what Konami said six years ago: https://www.metalgearinform...

RaidenBlack940d ago

Lets guess that Konami wants the MGS franchise to continue to be multi-platform. Hence don't want to partner with either MS or Sony.
They can easily collab with other Japanese studios (if Konami is unwilling to do MGS with non-Japanese devs) for future games, like they did with MGR:R.
Hypothetical like: Even though Capcom is a long rival, but given the recent state of Konami, they can partner up with Capcom for an awesome MGS revival. Konami directs and publishes, while a Capcom sub-team just develops the game using the RE engine.

MIDGETonSTILTS17940d ago

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.

Z501940d ago (Edited 940d ago )

"easily"
MGS1 was isometric. Not tps or fps.The first person view is what broke Twin Snakes (Gray Fox & Ocelot fights)

How would the laser sight tracking on handguns from MGS1 work using TPP game mechanics and engine for example?

MIDGETonSTILTS17938d ago

You might have to think over a few hallways for the older games, but that is being done right now for Dead Space.

And for your second point, I guess they could not have lasers?

I’m not saying it would be an “easy” copy paste job, but it could absolutely be done in a profitable manner. Or, they could just make another pachinko machine.

- 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.

DarXyde1172d ago

Konami still hasn't patched joy into MG Survive.

SlothLordPootus1172d ago

I want a Tidying Up season 2 so bad!

Orchard1172d ago

Headline had my hopes up for a next gen upgrade but... it’s Konami, I should know better.

Amplitude1171d ago

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...

Chocoburger1171d ago

I've played the game a lot. The online multi-player is good fun, but it gets repetitive quickly due to the lack of maps. For a game with micro-trash-actions, there is no excuse for the low number of maps to play in.

The single player on the other hand is awful. It's just nothing but grindy filler. Nothing special, interesting, or memorable happens. One plot twist that was okay, but not worth playing the game for.

The issue is that you must play lots of single mode player in order to improve for the multi-player mode, since your character progress is linked together.

Most people who hate the game never played it, much less experienced the thrills of 4 player online cooperational play. But at the same time, the game is an easy skip.

There are many games worse than Metal Gear: Survive released each year, but also there are many games better released each year as well.
