MGS4 to make use of tilt sensor controller?

The next instalment in the Metal Gear Solid franchise could yet make use of the tilt sensors that feature in the PlayStation 3 controller. In an interview with US magazine PSM2, series creator Hideo Kojima admitted that the team behind Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots hadn't decided on how to utilise the tilting mechanism in the PS3 pad, but did throw out some ideas of his own to the magazine, suggesting that, "Perhaps you could use it for the FP view, or to shake down guards for items, like in the past MGS games."

Wow now thats what I wanted to hear, a legendary developer who is not scared to use this new feature. I hope he will find a way to utilize this controller and make it a worthwhile addition to the Ps3.

I like where he stated that the camoflodge suit is made by using a trick in the Ps3 hardware. That means that he got some sort of grip on how to develope games for this so called "hard to develope for Ps3". I can't wait to get my hands on this game it looks like it will be above and beyond what I was expecting.

all this says is "COULD". That's like saying nothing, MGS4 "could" also travel you back in time or "could" be free. This isn't news.

[THE TRUTH]

"all this says is "COULD". That's like saying nothing, MGS4 "could" also travel you back in time." Well I guess if MGS4 "COULD" travel back in time then so "could" you!!!!

It's not like we are talking about just any developer this is thee Kojima, man even if your not a PS3 fan you could at least understand that he does deliever, and deliever BIG GAMES. Why do you feel the need to try and find something negative? Just be excited about the game he is trying hard to make for us gamers jeeesh......

[Bill Gates]

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE NEGATIVE IN ALL PS3 HUH PAUL. YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT, AND A SAD EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING.

ONCE AGAIN, BARELY ANY POSTS BEING MADE ON THE 360 SIDE. WHY? CAUSE NOBODY CARES. ALL THE 360 FANBOYS ARE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH PS3. HOW PATHETIC YOU PEOPLE ARE.

[Marriot VP]

you guys just don't get it. This doesn't mean anything. Sure I like MGS4, it's a solid game but this isn't news

[andy capps]

As much as you may not like it, this is news. If Kojima says something could be done, then he probably will do it. Come on, if Bungie puts out a snippet of news about Halo 3 you guys eat it up..

But this is an article about Kojima Interview about the game, which he is considering of using the tilt sensor on the game. "Could" does not mean noting, "could" mean possibility of it happening.

[Marriot VP]

the interview has substance I know. But the gyroscope "could" only means it's possible. Well anything's possible with accessories or functions. That's all I meant, I wasn't putting down any game or console.

[THE TRUTH]

Ok whatever you say paul, but when you do say something at least try and contribute something worthwhile. I mean saying: "the interview has substance I know. But the gyroscope "could" only means it's possible. Well anything's possible with accessories or functions" is making a statement that could be said about anything. Anything is possible but kojima and the MGS4 series has made things that "could" happen into things that "have" happened.

[TheMART]

Who cares anyway.

The Wii has the only new fun movement controller. The Sony movement controller will only irritate endlessly. Oh sh*tty I just in the heat of the moment was shaking my controller or pulled it away when I was in the moment. Damn the stupid movement sensor reacted and now I'm doing something I didn't ment to.

Really this is a no-no compared to the Wii. And with NO RUMBLE it's even just plain funny cheap playtoys

[Scythesean]

Until you have used the controller, and know how it will be implemented into the games. Try and not sound stupid, if what your saying is true that means that the same thing will happen on the Wii. Do you think a company that's making a game like this is going to not test and think about things like that?

[Gamer13]

Sony should leave the sensors controller to Wii.

[andy capps]

Why should they? Sony has had this idea patented for years and has been working on the concept for the controller for 2 1/2 years.

Man, that would be so cool....using a gimmick controller to find new ways to stealthily use.... A CARDBOARD BOX!!!!! That remains to this day the single lamest thing I have EVER seen in a videogame, ever.

Now before people go getting all crazed about it - yes, Hideo Kojima can make detailed games, and yes, many, many people find them very compelling. I personally do not, but that is just an opinion.

If he can find a way to make a motion-sensitive controller function for a game like MGS4, then more power to him. Again, it comes down to personal tastes and I would simply feel like a major choad if I was playing my videogame console and had to wave my controller at the nearest empty box so that it would flip over and I could hide in it while "sneaking" past guards with "great AI".

[Moostache]

Oh, and just another useless thought here....but how exactly is a visual effect that allows the user to "melt into the environment" - ie. become INVISIBLE, or seen yet another way, NOT SHOWN ON SCREEN AT ALL - how is that exactly "only possible on a PS3"?

C/mon, peoples, use your minds for more than an echo chamber of marketing hype from time to time....that is one of the most brainless, meaningless hype-only comments of all time.

The exact smae would hold true for anyone who thinks Halo3 will be anything more than an entertaining sci-fi video game rip-off of "Aliens" yet again. People take this crap wwaaaaay too seriously sometimes and I think it short-circuits their brains.

Coming soon - amazing graphical effects only possible on the Atari 2600 - PONG!!! Yopu thought Rockstar's Table Tennis was good, now play the original Gansta Game of all-time. From the multi-million selling franchise Pong comes Pong 2007, exclusively for PS3 and XB360.

Some will get it, others won't, but carry on in whatever way gets you through the day...

[THE TRUTH]

your post made no sense what-so-ever... Did you even read the article? He said to shake down guards not hide under boxes. I bet if he developed games for 360 you would be singing another tune altogether. If you can answer me one question please.. Are you at all interested in playing this game? I am because I like the MGS story and Kojima is one of the very best developers out there period. If he is going to use the controller then you can bet your stock in MS that it will be done right.

He did say why in the article, if you read it.

Coming from a legendary developer I think we can take his word for it. Besides MGS4 doesnt need to be hyped by Kojima it basiclly sells itself, same for Halo and FF and GTA and ect. ect. Why do you question him or say he is untruthful in his statments about a game "HE" is developing? Do you have any facts to support your claims? If you do feel free to let us know.

"your post made no sense what-so-ever... Did you even read the article?"
- no, I was taking an admitted cheap shot at MGS series and making fun of the hiding in a cardboard box mechanic of a much earlier game. If you weeren't so in tuned to defending the honor of the PS3, you might have noticed that...

I'll stop the selective quoting and answering there....no need to keep it going. The original post saidin its title that it was an admittedly cheap shot and by titling it as such I expected people to realize it was in jest. terribly sorry that you decided to skip that part and go straight for a literal interpretation of it....that is why sarcasm online is impossible.
