Kojima: Peace Walker in MGS4 Quality

Kojima explains some details about Peace Walker and why its the true sequel to MGS4.

[DavidMacDougall]

I'm not buying this just cause i feel like its just to get sales for the PSP-GO and i don't want one. Shame they never gonna put it on PS3 or even the PSN.

[Darren_y2]

Well technically it will be on the PSN... for PSP users to buy

[blind-reaper]

well buy a regular PSP with a Memory Stick, I really don't care in which console it will be, it is a Kojima game and it will be fully backed by him so it has a quality seal.

[Greywulf]

No offense intended, but have you seen the trailers/gameplay? If you saw that, the effort put into it, I think you'd be hard pressed to think its nintendogs for PSP.

[Sarcasm]

Wow, that's quite possibly one of the dumbest things i've read.

That's like saying

"I'm not gonna buy Mass Effect 2, Fable III, Gears of War 3, or Forza 3 because it might increase 360 sales"

Doesn't make any sense.

[Nitrowolf2]

wow what a comment. worst dumbest thing to ever say, im pretty sure he is getting a kick out of the replies. that just sad that you won't get to enjoy this great game just because you don't want to boost psp sales. Don't worry sony/konami will not miss you.

[PinkUni]

why do u even hate the psp go anyways?

the 3000 is still going to be there retard

AND IF YOU THINK ITS FOR THE PSP GO IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE THAT THEY WOULDN"T PUT IT ON PSN

THATS HOW PSP GO GETS ITS GAME YOU IDIOT

[ThanatosDMC]

I hope the boss fights are as epic as they were in MGS3. MGS4 bosses were fine but not great but it's probably due to the fact that we can buy so many guns and ammo. MGS2 bosses were just balls. MGS1 bosses were classic.

> not only that, but he also complained about the ps3 not being powerful enough to reach his dream. At the Games Developer conference, he says that he dreames of making the ultimate stealth game once hardware allows him to do so, coupled with a little bit of software technology that allows him to make a better game.

> In my opinion, after watching Kojima's keynote at GDC 2009, I really have a lot of respect for him. He understands game design and what you need to do.

IMO - It shows that Kojima needs to work with the technology at hand more, and to push it further. If he really understands game design and what one needs to do - he wouldn't need more storage or processing power after just one PS3 game. He's not complaining about the PSP is he?

[nightelfmohawk]

The true sequel to MGS4 could only work on a Sony product.

[Nitrowolf2]

agreed
but its more like a prequel considering its ten years after 3
but yes still very true

[Handsome_Devil]

"He also stated ...... while the MGS4 team can focus more on Peace Walker. Maybe when Peace Walker is done the team can work on a PS3 titile while the new team continues Rising?......"

could that mean another PS3 Exclusive from kojima ?? I really hope so, as I loved MGS4. would love to see something new to surpass it from him.

[Sarcasm]

Agreed, it would be nice to see another PS3 exclusive from the MGS4 team.

[Serg]

Well it would surprise me if Kojima made a true HD sequel to the series a multiplatform title, he already complained about BluRay not being enough for him. Kojima is one of the few designers who are so dedicated to deliver their best, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he had to dumb it down to DVD size.

I know this because he and I share a common illness, it's called perfectionism.

[kingme71]

I got the impression the author of the article was stating that about a new game not Kojima. Although it's hard to tell the way he mixed in his words with the text of the article.

[randomwiz]

"he already complained about BluRay not being enough for him. "

not only that, but he also complained about the ps3 not being powerful enough to reach his dream. At the Games Developer conference, he says that he dreames of making the ultimate stealth game once hardware allows him to do so, coupled with a little bit of software technology that allows him to make a better game.

In my opinion, after watching Kojima's keynote at GDC 2009, I really have a lot of respect for him. He understands game design and what you need to do.

[Nitrowolf2]

lol the ultimate stealth game for Kojima? how far does he have to go to reach that dream. i wouldn't be surprise if it actually threw us into his game.
dam kojima is awsome. everytime i here about him there is always something good about it.

[SixTwoTwo]

I believe we will see another PS3 exclusive from KojiPro. I mean they didn't put all that time, money, and effort into developing the MGS4 engine only to abandon it after one game. Or maybe they did, I don't know.

[Nitrowolf2]

i agree 622, im sure it isn't the last title from them considering that they really did enjoy developing for the PS3. Im sure that they will push its boundaries even farther after seeing Uncharted, GOW3, HR, ect.

[PirateThom]

The MGS4 engine was expensive as well, no way they're going to use it for one game.

Kojima Productions essentially have two main engines now for the home consoles, the PS3 MGS4 engine and the multiplatform MGSR engine.

If there's an "MGS5", I'd say it'll be PS3 exclusive so Kojima can push the console and the engine further and take on his director/writer/producer role, but we haven't seen the last of multiplatform Kojima Production's games.

[San Frandisco]

its not a sequel if its before MGS4 so wouldnt that make it a PREquel?

[Unicron]

I expect more info on Zero and the rise of the Patriots dammit!

[JonnyBigBoss]

I am getting a PSP confirmed. Now I just need to find a good deal...

[Nitrowolf2]

@ comment 1

I will def buy this game for i feel like it will increase sales for psp/pspGo. Good thing this will be available on PSN.

[sam2236]

EDIT: I just read your comment below, so disregard this.

EDIT 2: What the hell? A disagree? Are the disagree fairies back?

[Nitrowolf2]

yah probaly, been noticing that allot

[Blacksand1]

Like i said on the other one Kojima was only putting his hand on Peace walker he said he was only producing Metal Gear Rising if hand is not on it, it will be second rate. Kojima didn't want the Metal Gear series on another console except Playstation and that what he said at the Konami press conference and this article say it all.

[SuperSaiyaJinX]

Nitrowolf2 - why would you say your going buy it just to increase the sales of a system? Just say you'll buy it for the love the game and the people who put the effort into making them. you kind of say it as thogh you'll be making the money....

[Nitrowolf2]

its just a responce @1
i know i won't make money from it, but i am gaining something from it and that hours of fun.

[ApocalypseShadow]

buy one of the newer model psps or pspgo and hook the sh!t to a tv.sit near a hot spot and go online and play.

done and DONE.

apocalypse.........

[Eric Cartman]

We love you too Kojima. ;)

[saimcheeda]

Good thing we get good developer fanboys, not like that Fat sh!t from Valve!

[Saaking]

Hideo Kojima is a perfectionist and perfection can only be had on PlayStation.

[SpartanZero]

No proof in what you just said Saaking or was it sarcasm

[wxer]

dude
him self said that he'll be 100% on this one
while MGS:R well be worked on by his new staff
he didn't even allowed them to use snake

and he said that the true MGS is the one that looks and plays like MGS4 and uses the MGS4 engine

each MGS that kojima stay away form
end being a flop

[Razzy]

Looks like I'll finally be buying a PSP.

[sam2236]

“Despite being on the PSP, we don’t plan on making any compromises with the graphics. The art team is used to producing PS3-level quality and the results will make you wonder if this is really a PSP game.”

I'm sorry Kojima, but that's the stupidest thing you've ever said. How the hell can a PSP game look even remotely like a PS3 game when the graphics can't even be compared to a PS2 game?! Peace Walker is using the same graphics engine as Portable Ops, for Christ's sake!

And, like Portable Ops, this game will fail because MGS can't be played on the PSP as it lacks a second analog stick. The controls will be just as awkward as Portable Ops.' control scheme.

[Darren_y2]

This is Kojima here since when has he let us down.

[sam2236]

Yeah, you're right...but I really didn't like Portable Ops, it was too awkward to play, imo.

But having PW run on the PO engine and say it looks nothing like a PSP game is a bit stupid. The only thing, as far as I can see, is that the characters faces have a bit more polygons then their clothing or the environment. Check out a couple of screenshots and you'll see.

I'll admit that I'm an MGS fanboy, but I won't be picking up this or MGS: Rising.

[Darren_y2]

I don't think I'll be getting Rising either, but you do know Kojima was only a producer on MPO, it was directed by someone else, I'm sure Kojima would change the controls since that was the games biggest complaints.

[CreativeAccount3]

I wud love to play this T_T but i cant afford a PS3 AND a PSP :(

[wxer]

the old fat psp is kinda cheap now
if you got a used one
i think it well be very cheap
