You can expect Konami to patch that out.

ok i have nt played the game but this seems compeltely random ....Mercenaries s names have a starting letter SO what /??? and yes if they ill be placed with that order , yes it spells the name ...but why place them with that specific order ??? ...it seems very exagerated ....then we can just borrow letter from any point of the game and create messages ...idiotic

cooperdnizzle2664d ago

I don’t think you are smart enough to understand that it’s not just grabbing random letters. It literally says KJP FOREVER. In a very placed order.

indysurfn2664d ago

The question is, is this a cerebral campaign (marketing). I think so for the record.

Good job marketing department it went all the way up to number one on www.n4g.com for the record since at least yesterday. Which made me finally check today.

If it is a cerebral campaign they will leave it in. If it is not they will take it out. Time will tell!

indysurfn2664d ago

@naruga So basically you are telling us: "more along folks there is nothing to see here?"

We think it is intended at the least it is a attempt to get attention or respect to a past employee.

blitz06232665d ago

They will also sack the dev team or the people responsible for putting that in

No Way2665d ago

Nah, they'll put it behind a $100 microtransaction. Which leads you to the next bit of the story.. which cost even more.

It says "Don't buy this game.".

strayanalog2665d ago

Stop playing around, Vrabstin! You know it says, "Gotcha!"!

Inzo2664d ago

There are four suckers who disagree with you.

Vrabstin2664d ago

Lol I guess people disagree that you point out there are people who disagree with me.

mafiahajeri2665d ago (Edited 2665d ago )

I knew they were taking jabs at Kojima, those pricks are gonna milk one of the best video game franchises until it's dead.

I hope this game sells like shittttttttt

DragonDDark2665d ago

The hidden message is "KJP Forever".

Kojima Production Forever.
Read first. Comment later.

mafiahajeri2665d ago (Edited 2665d ago )

Lool didn't see that coming xD love that little quote, good advice 👌

But still fu$k Konami

X-Alchemist2664d ago

This comment screams N4G, so many of you lot make comments on headlines and not the actual article.

aConIsDemocracy2665d ago

if you play it backwards it says "buy our dlc and microtransactions". Court case pending :)

DarXyde2665d ago

Rumor has it that if you take a picture of one of the zombies in game, it snaps out of its stupor, grabs you by the shoulders, and starts screaming "Get out!" at you.

But seriously, I think this is a genuine nod to Kojima Productions. They're known for subtlety and anagrams (Rat Patrol, anyone?). Whoever put this in there is probably going to lose their job. Kojima will probably scoop them up. They may have less money, but they also have far more freedom now. Ultimately, I think it was the best thing for Kojima's career.

DialgaMarine2665d ago

Guaranteed Sony is making sure Kojima has all the funding he needs for Death Stranding

subtenko2665d ago

"You need a billion? here take it, you need new hummer, here you go. Hows the game coming along? Great great, here is an extra 4 billion for making the game"

DarXyde2665d ago

subtenko,

Emphasis on "need" lol

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

Tankbusta40727d 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

jznrpg727d ago

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

MIDGETonSTILTS17726d ago

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

Those aren't "Solid" games tho.

chicken_in_the_corn1353d ago

They're still part of the main series

Z5011353d 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.

RaidenBlack1353d ago

Pachinko ... loads of 'em.

porkChop1353d 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.

Gridknac1353d ago

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

Nyxus1353d ago

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

RaidenBlack1353d 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.

MIDGETonSTILTS171353d 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.

Z5011353d ago (Edited 1353d 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?

MIDGETonSTILTS171351d 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.

DarXyde1585d ago

Konami still hasn't patched joy into MG Survive.

SlothLordPootus1585d ago

I want a Tidying Up season 2 so bad!

Orchard1585d ago

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

Amplitude1585d 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...

Chocoburger1584d 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.
