You are not infiltrating anything with 3+ friends in coop. They are there to shoot shit and grind for better weapons and skins etc.
Ain't got no time for stealth!

Sony should just buy Konami and let Kojima make Chapter 3 and Remakes of MG1&2 closing the circle once and for all.

Why? Just for the lulz.

Yeah, Kojima is finally free to make things other than Metal Gear, we should get him to make them again.

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.

Duckroll too OP. Pls Nerf.

This is all correct tho. Kojima's not innocent of cashing in.
 
Even with all the dumb stuff that is the Metel Gear games, I think a convenient wormhole that suddenly appears over Mother Base and sucks up the survivors into Zombie Afghanistan is the stupidest thing I've heard. Even if it plays like MGSV, I'm not interested because I'd prefer a single player MGS game but man, they Raccoon City/Umbrella Corps'd the series quick.

Make them without pressure and with support of a company better than Konami.
Konami will rape the brand Metal Gear to death. (Sorry for my french) So better Kojima makes 2 more games before Konami ruins it totally.
 
Four-player stealth co-op game and zombie-like enemies and not Solid.. I guess this is Konami Resident Evil Umbrella Corps of the MGS series.

Stealth works best when you're alone.
 
Not what I wanted from the franchise, but I'll wait for gameplay before making any final judgements. It could be cool if it was basically MGSV + Co-Op, but they'll probably fuck it up somehow.

You're aware that the same things have been done for Metal Gear spinoffs forever now right? Metal Gear Ghost Babel, Metal Gear Ac!d, and Metal Gear Ac!d 2 are all different continuities which use story hooks at the beginning to tie them to one particular Metal Gear game (usually the most recent one) while either ignoring that it contradicts everything after, or coming up with a gag excuse at the end which renders the story of the game kinda "pointless". Taking Metal Gear "canon" seriously is bad for health.

I really don't want to argue this point further because it's relatively meaningless, but Ghost Babel, AC!D, etc aren't games that were inserted literally inside of other canon MG games. Building off of plot hooks and operating inside of a game are two entirely different things.
 
Set directly after the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Survive sees the members of Militaires Sans Frontières not killed in that game’s finale transported through wormholes into an alternate universe, where they’re forced to battle a force of crystalline zombies and, it seems, at least one Metal Gear itself.

Uh?

Seriously though, no different story than Resident Evil Umbrella Corps. Just deal with it, there's even a chance it could be fun to play (likely more than MGO).

Actually, just like Deus Ex: Human Revolution was a better Metal Gear Solid than Metal Gear Solid 4, it's looking like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be the same to Metal Gear Solid V.

I like this post.
 
I don't care at all that wormholes and zombies are outlandish. Both of those things were in MGSV, anyway.

My problem is that if all the enemies are mindless zombies, then there's no regular guard AI, no alerts, no caution phases... Of course this is speculation, maybe they'll have smart zombies and proper stealth action. But I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, considering the large amount of enemies I fear that it will focus more on shooting
 
Man this is just sad and pathetic from Komani. How does a garbage idea like this get approved? Surely someonein the compamy must realise that this holds basically no appeal? Just bizzare.
 
I'm... confused as to why this needs the Metal Gear logo on it, but I did think the same for Revengeance and that turned out great.

Even without Kojima involved, I'll keep this on my radar just out of curiosity but I can't see myself liking it too much if it's just another "co-op virus game" in an ocean already filled with them, even with the MGS5 controls.
 
There's no two ways about it, this is definitely one of the shittest uses of the property I can think of. It easily ranks right next to Touch, Panchiko and Social OPS.
 
This is hilarious. Konami are stuck with the Metal Gear series after Kojima leaves, and what's their way of progressing the series? "Zombies! We'll add Zombies!"

And then they can even be bothered to figure out a way to fit it into the lore. "And then they get sucked into a wormhole and end up in another dimension!"

Honestly though, a zombie survival game with MGSV mechanics sounds amazing. I don't have high hopes, but I'll keep my eye on this.
 
This is so dumb, but on the other hand, if the control is like phantom pain, it could be good. Yeah, you know what, screw it, at least the trailer looks good.

What characters can it even have though? Miller? All I can envision is some umbrella chronicles shit.

PUNISHED CHICO.
 
I'm a huge MGS fan, but also a 'look at everything on its own merits', kinda fella. The right thing to do here is to wait on gameplay and more info. The announcement on its own isn't worth getting angry about. As for the GZ tie, come on, this is clearly non-canon. It didn't happen. Let them do their fun co-op zombie idea.

Of course if it turns out to be a piece of fucking shit like Umbrella Corps, then sure, unleash the floodhates.

It makes as much sense as MGSV "story".

Granted, the gameplay was amazing so long as you weren't repeating the same mission archetypes for the billionth time. It had as much variety in missions as Just Cause 1. And absolute shit encounters with the
Ghosts
.

After V I'm glad the series is done.

You want people to be logical and patient? You're crazy bro! Stand on the mountain and yell fuck Konami!

I really hope they just copy and paste the mgsv gameplay, at least that part won't suck.

I love MGSV, but your totally right that the story was just nonsense. The gameplay was just so top-notch. It's why I still have an interest in this despite how dumb it sounds. The story and concept may be super lazy, but if the gameplay is still great, I might bite.
 
"And today on Fuck Konami news...". Can't wait to hear Jim tearing this one apart.

But let's be real, if it had been Kojima I bet everyone would have been okay with this lol. Seems so wacky that it's almost as if it came from the man himself.

Yeah. It's not surprising but not all games can have intelligent or even normal discussion around them. It's just easier to do this.

This makes me curious as to how long it's been in development for. I'll laugh if this was kojimas idea in the first place.

Lol. this is something Kojima would come up with if he decided to abandon all subtlety and was drunk all the time.
