Is it April 1st today? This just looks like a terrible joke. IMO.

 

[duckroll]

He might make something like this, but he would've never attached it to Metal Gear, IMO.

You're right. Kojima has a ton of integrity and respect for the Metal Gear IP. He would never put out cash-in games using that IP.

Never.

 

[Akhe]

 

[wanders]

I just realized how brilliant this game could be. Think about it. Since this is based on MGSV, it could be mission based with different types of multiplayer missions. The survival missions would be like Left 4 Dead. The base defense missions would be like Killing Floor. The extraction missions could be like Payday. The boss missions against Metal Gears could be like Evolve. Wow. Think of the potential. What are the sales of all those games added together? Epic.

I wonder if Survive is a reanimated carcass of what Kojima left behind. He did say a co op mode was gonna be in MGSV proper that never came to.

 

[packy34]

You're right. Kojima has a ton of integrity and respect for the Metal Gear IP. He would never put out cash-in games using that IP.

Never.

Did Kojima write or direct those? No, so... your point being?

 

[glaurung]

I just hope they include the most retarded feature from MGSV - other players invading your base and stealing your shit using hacked accounts.

Oh, and Konami shitbrickers will sell you real money insurance that reimburses you for the stolen stuff.

 

[BubbaMc]

What the actual fuck.

So Konami is still making games after all.

 

[Luigi87]

... but why wormholes?

 

[duckroll]

Did Kojima write or direct those? No, so... your point being?

They were released under Kojima Productions.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

So this increases the chance of Rising 2 right?

 

[Koyuga]

... but why wormholes?

Wormholes were in Phantom Pain, so why not?

 

[giancarlo123x]

... but why wormholes?

Because they were all over mgsv? The story of people attacking your base was with Wormholes.

 

[Genryu]

I can't believe they would be stupid enough to put wormholes into Metal Gear, Kojima would never be that stu-

O... oh...

 

[red731]

I can imagine the meeting.
"WEST. LOVES. ZOMBIES."

 

[nickfrancis86]

Can't vote so heres my 'zero interest' 10p input.

I wan't a MG1,2 and MGS1 remake.

 

[packy34]

They were released under Kojima Productions.

But he had zero direct involvement with either of them, apart from maybe a producer tag. Touch and Social Ops have "Konami" written all over them.

 

[BareKnuckle]

If this has the same structure as peace walker with co op and the r&d stuff it could be pretty cool in co op.

The levels will just be sections of the open world from MGSV tho.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

I've never played Metal Gear though I've heard how insane it gets, but even I think crystalline zombies from an alternative universe sounds a bit far fetched.

 

[ElTorro]

 

[bunkitz]

Crystal archea... male and female... can neither copulate nor zombify...

Pfft. They didn't zombify. They just, parasite-d... or something.

---

Some people seem to forget that we have wormholes and parasitic zombies in the world of Metal Gear. I'm not rooting for this game or anything, but I'm just saying that the outrageous shit here isn't that outrageous from other things we've seen in previous games.

And hey, it's all okay. It's not like it's canon or anything.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Wormholes actually were really stupid in MGSV and shouldn't have been in the game, even if they were practically the equivalent of the goofy OP unlockables in other Metal Gear games that aren't seriously supposed to exist in universe.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

But he had zero direct involvement with either of them, apart from maybe a producer tag. Touch and Social Ops have "Konami" written all over them.

so why are you okay with those games existing without kojima but this one is committing some sort of sin for not having him?

 

[giancarlo123x]

I can't believe they would be stupid enough to put wormholes into Metal Gear, Kojima would never be that stu-

O... oh...

It's easy to tell who hasn't played up to mission 13 I think it was in mgsv where they introduce FOB to you. But fuck Konami because wormholes.

 

[Koyuga]

Also, this will be the 3rd time we've seen zombies in a Metal Gear game.

 

[Ludens]

In before the Metal Gear you face in the game is Zeke from Peace Walker.

 

[Noisepurge]

Zombies is the best they could come up with? And a squad based shooter even, did they not play Operation Raccoon City or that new whatever it was called.

 

[Luigi87]

Wormholes were in Phantom Pain, so why not?

Because they were all over mgsv? The story of people attacking your base was with Wormholes.

True they were in it, though I guess I brushed them off as an amusing gameplay mechanic.
But I don't remember the latter here.

 

[plasmawave]

The wormhole thing in MGSV was tongue in cheek joke item. This games is playing it straight with that jokey aspect of the franchise. Which is just WTF.

 

[Graphics Horse]

The levels will just be sections of the open world from MGSV tho.

Doubt it, but will likely use the same assets, looks very Afghanistan.

 

[J-Skee]

I.... I don't know what to think.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

God, I just wanted remasters of the first four games on current gen hardware.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Also, this will be the 3rd time we've seen zombies in a Metal Gear game.

I mean, not actual bloodthirsty undead monsters trying to eat people.

 

[Rellik]

What the actual fuck.

So Konami is still making games after all.

They never stopped.

Anyway, this looks terrible. Even if you remove the Metal Gear insult they've put on it. It's just not my kind of game.

 

[Ludens]

.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I mean, not actual bloodthirsty undead monsters trying to eat people.

Did that thing even have a mouth?

 

[DeadManWalking]

So there was a wormhole in mgs5 ground zeros that we didn't saw?
Maybe they are testing things and trying to see what direction franchise to evolve. Its not a metal gear solid game, just like metal gear rising.
It would be interesting to see if fox engine can be a action engine??maybe?? im optimistic actually.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Zombies is the best they could come up with? And a squad based shooter even, did they not play Operation Raccoon City or that new whatever it was called.

Raccoon city and Umbrella corps were m made from scratch with shitty engines and gameplay decisions. This seems to just be using mgsv's gameplay, adding coop, and using a crazy story so by default this should be more fun than those games ever hoped to be.

 

[Koyuga]

I mean, not actual bloodthirsty undead monsters trying to eat people.

Well no, but more or less. MGS4 had nano-machine zombies, TPP had parasites. I wonder if this will still be parasites or something completely different?

 

[klier]

Looks great, I am exited.

There's a severe lack of good coop games on PS4, so bring it on.

 

[sphinx]

.

more like "Metal Gear Federaton Force", amirite?

youtube dislikes and all.

 

[Psoelberg]

This doesn't looks like my cup of tea - mostly because of the zombies and being co-op - but if this creates just a slight possibility of a singleplayer game with The Boss taking place in WW2, then I'm happy to see that Konami haven't left the IP.

 

[Ruff]

Konami w hta

how is any of this ok

 

[Damigos]

At the point, the best thing Konami can do is never release another MGS game.

 

[Riposte]

Yakuza's zombie game is still weirder.

 

[Ludens]

There weren't wormholes during GZ event, during an inspection soldiers ended up on attacking the Mother Base, that's it.

 

[duckroll]

But he had zero direct involvement with either of them, apart from maybe a producer tag. Touch and Social Ops have "Konami" written all over them.

What do you mean by "zero" involvement though? Kojima Productions is his studio, he is the head of the studio and he called the shots on the brands they ran. Both Touch and Social Ops were developed by staff within Kojima Productions who had worked on previous and future Metal Gear games. These are people who work under Kojima, and resources spend on the games with his blessing.

I know it's cool and hip to try and paint a picture that anything Kojima does is creative, noble, and exciting, while anything Konami does is corporate and anti-consumer. The truth is, Kojima is just as much of a businessman as he is a game designer. He has to be to keep cash flowing to fund his ambitious productions. This is why when he goes out on his own and creates a new development studio, the first products out of the studio are not games which fans are excited for, but merchandising using the studio logos and mascot collectibles. The man knows how to milk just as well as Konami does, the difference is he's also a magician who makes fans suck it up and feel good about it at the same time.

 

[EatChildren]

The core gameplay of MGSV feels so damn good that this will in truth probably be plenty of fun to play, especially since it seems basically like Metal Gear Solid V: Mercenaries.

But I obviously understand the disappointment.

 

[breakfuss]

Fucking disgraceful. Guess I spoke too soon when I said it couldn't get any worse than V.

 

[Reda]

So it's a new IP using the Metal Gear name. Ok

FIGHT TOGETHER OR DIE ALONE

LOL

 

[giancarlo123x]

This doesn't looks like my cup of tea - mostly because of the zombies and being co-op - but if this creates just a slight possibility of a singleplayer game with The Boss taking place in WW2, then I'm happy to see that Konami haven't left the IP.

Metal gear is free money, especially if they reuse assets like they are here. I can see this for next year, a mgs3 remake in 2018,and a new original adventure by 2020 or before.
