Terrible and lifeless.

Looks like they used a variety of the existing assets and spun it into a half-assed game.
 
all these people hating on konami

Kojima hasn't made a good MG since 4 and even more so since 3.

5 and pw are not very good and this game may even end up better (can't be much worse at least) zombies doesn't sound good or bad until we see what the game is but if V is the foundation then yes its fucked already.

How much you want to bet that if that wormhole alternate dimensions crystal zombies thing was in a Kojima Meta Gear, people wouldn't be laughing at it and they'd be throwing around "best writer in the industry" like normal?

Uhh I don't remember Kojima writing in anything near the level of fucking inter-dimensional portals and straight up zombies
But if he did I'd still be just as confused as I am now.
 
It's Konami trying to save money by reusing assets but this seems like the kind of nonsense Kojima would do anyway. Well at least the premise seems in line with Kojima, we'll see about the actual mechanics if they're just bland and unremarkable.

Because Kojima's writing has never been criticized by fans...

Sure it's criticized by some of his fans, but hell man you can't talk about how absurd, poorly written, or unnatural the dialogue is in these games without an entire thread ganging up on you.

The diehards eat everything he writes up, and despite increasing absurdity he's pretty universally praised as one of the best narrative creators or writers in the industry.

This plot, in my opinion, really isn't even THAT much more absurdly stupid than previous MGS stuff, it just seems like its not trying to cover it up with melodrama. Hence my joke, that if this had Kojimas name on it, I bet that people wouldn't be mad and laughing at it, they'd be praising it. Not ALL of them, of course, but some suspension here for the sake of a joke.

This is all they could think of? Zombies? When MGS V was just begging for a proper Chapter 2 (and 3)?

This has got to be something decided in a board room by executives who are totally out of touch.

Silent Hill Strategic Espionage coming to Paris Games Week.
 
Lol, the fuck is this shit? Every single memorable aspect about the entire Metal Gear series has been stripped away except for those two words in the title.
 
Nope, Hideo Kojima was Metal Gear Solid for me. I'm really looking forward to Death Stranding but I have no interest in this at all, I'm so please that Kojima is no longer a part go Konami.

You're just believing what you want to believe. Kojima's writing is constantly criticized and ridiculed in MG threads.
 
Honestly, after MGS5 was both the best game I ever played and the most disappointing game ever made, this isn't even causing the tiniest blip on my outrage radar.

If it turns out to be a fun co-op game I'd play it without even considering what franchise it's attached to.
 
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.

What?

Ignoring that nonsense, the game itself sounds uninteresting and I also expect the worst.
 
This isn't "porting MGS1-4 to Steam," Konami.

So the poll option for me is: "I can't give a fuck if it isn't those and Metal Gear: AC!D 1-2 to PC/PSN."

You're just talking out your ass here. Almost every MGSV thread is a bastion of negativity with regards to the plot. Check any MGS fansite or forum. It was crazy during MGS4 and was nearly as bad for V. At best, you could say Kojima would get benefit of the doubt. Konami's last non-Kojima AAA title was NeverDead.

I will say that in a bubble, the reaction to the trailer is overblown. But it's really because fans see this as the direction the series is headed instead of a mere spinoff or dlc.
 
Worm holes and alternate universes aren't outside the possibilities of the Metal Gear universe. What's stupid is that it happens during Mother Base getting attacked, losing that emotional impact that was the centrepiece of MGSV now that you know so many survived. Also, I think it's safe to say that they won't even try to explain why there was a wormhole or maybe why is there an alternate universe of zombies either.

Maybe you're also just believing what you want to believe? Or maybe we're both right and it's somewhere in the middle.

I have never criticized or made jokes about his writing or characters here, on Reddit, or on Twitter without getting an earful from lots of people, and then the conversation spiraling. Some people agree, some flip out. Hell, my entire time in the MGS V thread was about people saying V was the first time he finally wrote a bad story, and constantly praising his previous brilliance.
 
I think the thing that's immediately striking is that the 4 characters have no charisma and just look... generic as hell. Say what you will about the older Metal Gear Solids, but the series was always good at making memorable looking characters.

"B-but what if this insipid, generic idea was conceived by this other guy??"

It wasn't, and I'm pretty goddamn sure people would be calling Kojima out for such an out of character, follow-the-leader concept for the MGS series. Just look at the reception to MGSV after the honeymoon period.

Unless Konami actually tries to keep cheating down on the PC version, I'm not even going to bother looking any deeper than that...

This makes no sense. This is 4 player coop, not competitive. If I choose to play with 4 friends, I am not going to have a problem with "cheating"
 
Konami really thinks the MG fans are idiots. I think I have never said this about anything but I would love to see this fail miserably.

VOCALOID is back on "Fox!" Enjoy your favorite tunes reimagined by way of Metal Gear ZEKE as you experience the Metal Gear saga's legendary "missing link" the way it was meant to be in the all-new Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker: Heavenly Divide Edition. VOCALOID tracks will be available via various digital distribution platforms and include memorable fan favorites, such as "Kingdom of the Flies - The Final Standoff" and "Kingdom of the Flies - It's Not Over Yet." Purchasing both tracks will reward users with 30 Mother Base Coins, and 30% off a bonus unreleased track heard in PT as a part of the teaser's post-game scene, all in celebration of Metal Gear's 30th Anniversary.

Unless, you know, the game is actually good; god forbid someone actually makes a good game regardless of drama and the franchise it is attached to, I know

The true Metal Gear spinoff refused to sequel.
 
Pass. I'm not really interested in multiplayer Metal Gear that doesn't look anything like Metal Gear.

Especially when Kojima is gone but Konami's still here.
 
Nooooo, this is the opposite of what I want! If there was more MGS5, it should have been the content that was removed from the game first, or additional story content that attempted to fill in some of the blanks... not another stupid zombies/survival game. Ugggghhh....

I think that's because most of the characters look like they were made in the MGO character creator. Makes me wonder if this is a whole new game or DLC.
 
All I hope is that the survival aspect isn't overboard. No hunger meters and all that sort of thing. Should be nothing more than getting items and crafting weapons.
