Seriously, those complaining about 'the plot' of this game have you played MGSV?

No. Seriously.

I mean metal gears plot is crazy shit but a wormhole transported zombie survival genre is outlandish even for metal gear.

 

[JCG]

Metal Gear...Survive?

Well, I guess that's certainly something! Quite a weird direction to take the series in.

I'll wait for impressions about whether this is at least playable or just as bad as it sounds.

 

[NoFoX]

 

[Ratrat]

One of the only sane comments in this thread. Give the game a chance people.

Feel like this is only true if you like Metal Gear Online. A zombie 4-player coop game is not going to be very stealthy.

 

[Batzi]

Never thought I would say this but I am actually intrigued.

 

[Mistouze]

I'm not a Metal Gear/Kojima fan, so excuse my ignorance, but I can't understand the reactions in this thread. This is the same universe where Metal Gear Rising is based in, if I understand correctly. This game has a single cyborg human cutting down building-sized robots with one swing of a sword, also a man enhanced by nanomachines and able to withstand direct hits with that same sword and beating the mentioned human cyborg into a pulp with his bare hands, but somehow wormholes and alternate reality is too much and doesn't fit in the universe?

MGS fans can only swallow that shit when Kojima's holding the spoon.

Seriously, those complaining about 'the plot' of this game have you played MGSV?

No. Seriously.

Because MGSV was weak narratively, it makes this overplayed zombie trash acceptable?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

MGSV get's really boring if you play it like a third-person shooter.

 

[FantasticMrSnake]

Not sure how to feel about this, it looks boring.., is it only going to be a tower defense / horde mode?

More games with mgsv's mechanics are always welcome

It looks more like MGO3 mechanics, but I guess you were talking about the fox engine?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Wormholes??
Crystal zombies??
A co-op focused title??

Nah.
FucKonami

 

[Nickle]

A zombie game? That's what they thought of?

 

[Petrae]

"...a co-op survival game set in an alternate reality"?

 

[Magnet_Man]

I am glad I lived to see this day.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Now that I think about it, "Survive" is a pretty apt title, given Konami's refusal to let the series die with dignity.

 

[THEaaron]

I mean metal gears plot is crazy shit but a wormhole transported zombie survival genre is outlandish even for metal gear.

this.

 

[AusRoachman]

so it's metal gear without the stealth ? No thanks

 

[hans_castorp]

I had no idea Germany and Japan celebrate the 1st of April in August : /

 

[Ludens]

KONAMI SENT US TO HELL, BUT WE'RE GOING EVEN DEEPER.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

It looks gorgeous, the Fox engine is a beast.

Rising isn't canon

 

[Ratrat]

MGS fans can only swallow that shit when Kojima's holding the spoon.

1. Rising isn't canon
2. Have you ever seen a MGSV thread? Kojima's been torn to shreds.

 

[swearing-circle]

I'm in 100%

 

[Guess Who]

If Konami is indeed not letting Metal Gear die with some dignity we better at least get a fucking Rising 2 out of the deal.

 

[KingBroly]

Jim Sterling's gonna have to make a special video about this. And what a video it shall be.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Wow....

 

[120v]

this game probably won't be my cup of tea but... i don't think it looks horrible. i expected "the next metal gear" from KONAMI *thunderclap* to be way, way worse, and not on pc/console

like others have said it looks like it was planned as part of mgs5 from the beginning but scrapped at some point.

 

[Korigama]

Rising isn't canon

Here we go with this again.

 

[Village]

1. Rising isn't canon
.

rising is canon

 

[YianGaruga]

Seriously, those complaining about 'the plot' of this game have you played MGSV?

No. Seriously.

I did. Not even Kojima would seriously consider "alternate dimension with crystalline zombies co-op stealth"

The guy has some standards

 

[GrantDaNasty]

I wake up to THIS?!

What the fuck....

What the fuck does any of this have to do with how you play Metal Gear? Can you even stealth the zombies?

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[packy34]

Here we go with this again.

Here we go with what again? The truth? Kojima made this clear MANY times.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Because MGSV was weak narratively, it makes this overplayed zombie trash acceptable?

Spoiler

Vocal parasites, son.

And what about the Burning Zombie?

 

[Drencrom]

Less than a year since Kojima's departure and they've already started shitting out some zombie shooter spin-off...

Bravo Konami, you weaseling fucks!

 

[Philippo]

 

[Marvel]

Wtf lol

 

[Korigama]

Here we go with what again? The truth? Kojima made this clear MANY times.

Did he now?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Here we go with what again? The truth? Kojima made this clear MANY times.

No he didn't.

 

[Dr. Harford]

What? Not like this.

 

[Aztechnology]

So Konami is basically trying to replace the void Resident Evil 7 will leave for that style of nonsensical zombie action. I think I'll pass.

 

[YianGaruga]

Spoiler

Vocal parasites, son.

And what about the Burning Zombie?

supernatural elements =/= crystal zombies in another dimension

come on now

 

[outsida]

 

[Nessus]

Konami recouping their investment in the Fox Engine while reusing MGSV assets and not having to worry about a single player campaign.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

These coop zombie games are so hot right now.

 

[J4g3r]

Someone needs to warn Kojima and the rest of his crew to put a "Metal Gear Survive" filter on their Twitter accounts.

 

[Village]

I'm not a Metal Gear/Kojima fan, so excuse my ignorance, but I can't understand the reactions in this thread. This is the same universe where Metal Gear Rising is based in, if I understand correctly.

yes series introducing trans humanist concepts in the form of cybernetics in the first game ( or 4rth actually , mgs was after 3 game iirc) eventually becoming super human robot cyborg people is literally inline with everything from the get go.

Alternate dimensional portals, are not.

 

[Yukinari]

The best part is that when the game gets more footage and is about to come out all the MGS fans will experience the same shit that Metroid has been dealing with the past few months.

"Haha fuck the whiny fans of this beloved series the game looks great" Even though the people that would be most interested in a new MG title are fans.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

You lied to us, Batzi...

 

[MattyG]

Here we go with what again? The truth? Kojima made this clear MANY times.

What? No he didn't. He only ever explicitly said that Portable Ops wasn't canon.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Huh....?
