In the most recent update of the Postscript of MGA, the character designer shows off enemy and boss designs rejected for the first game. Then if you notice on the left bar under "links", there's a "Now Loading.... MGA2" which leads back to the same page for now! Pre-E3 hint? ^_^

 

[Defensor]

And here we go!

 

[FallenOne666]

Nice find. I hope it's true ^_^!

You didn't get the memo? MGA2 is MGS4. The ultimate Kojima trick.

 

[Miburou]

ِِِAnd the METAL GEAR ACID 2 link gives a 404 error.

well, I did get some memo that I didn't REALLY play MGS2 and 3, in fact, it was a false memory implanted in my brain while I was asleep by a.... ok, I'll just stop there. The comedy well of MGS2 plotline jokes ran dry about 4 years ago...

 

[Troidal]

I believe this news.

 

[GDJustin]

I am excited about this news, but MGA doesn't strike me as much of an "E3 type game, heh. I mean I'm the world's biggest Advance Wars fan (fuck off, I am), but even I couldn't get into AW2 at E3 when it was first revealed there.

 

[Bog]

Man, I hope not.

 

[Yusaku]

Get rid of the card crap and make Metal Gear Tactics.

 

[ChrisReid]

Excellent news. Can't come soon enough. Just need 5 cards and the 4 remaining passwords for my complete set.

 

[Belfast]

Get rid of the card crap and make Metal Gear Tactics.

The card system owns your ass! Anyway, the only thing I'm worried about for the new game is what the hell are they going to use for cards? They pretty much included just about every MG item/character/weapon/action in the first game, plus the most notable stuff from other Kojima games. Would they expand the card selection into other Konami properties? They could also add new mechanics to modify the old card system and make it fresh again, I suppose. Well, either way, the end of MGA sets it up for a sequel, so I'm not totally surprised to see it as a distinct possibility.

 

[aerodynamik]

vic viper lasering baby!

 

[gunstarhero]

Man, I hope so - I just beat the first one.

Be nice if you can carry over your deck from the first game into the second. I wouldnt want to give up some of the rare cards I got. (ug... I'm such a loser)

 

[duckroll]

Based on analysing the non-working links, I think there'll be a big announcement about Konami at E3. There looks to be a new studio (wasn't KCEJ just merged with another one?) under Kojima called Kojima Production which will be housing Kojima's games. MGA2 is pretty much confirmed now, but a look at the urls could give us some insight on something else.

Kojima Production: http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/kojima_pro/index.html

MGA2: http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/kojima_pro/002.html

So if MGA2 is 002... could MGS4 be 001? I guess we'll find out in a few days.

 

[Lakitu]

Kojima Production?? Oh hell yes!

 

[duckroll]

Oh man, it looks like whoever screwed up and put the links up early has been dealt with. :lol

[Odnetnin]

a MGA sequel wouldn't cost them very much to make. I couldn't get into the game though. Played it and gave up - went back to MGS3 as is.

 

[Wario64]

kojima's next game, fans am crying!

 

[duckroll]

kojima's next game, fans am crying!

It's already been discussed (maybe not enough) that Kojima Productions will most likely be announced at E3 along with a bunch of games under that label. MGS4 and MGA2 are just about confirmed to be there while other possible candidates include a new game actually directed by Kojima as well as a new game directed by Murata.

 

[Odnetnin]

MGS4 just about confirmed to be there

puts hand below waistline.

 

[imastalker co.]

MGS4 and MGA2 are just about confirmed to be there

i've been given a 100% as far as MGS4 ebing there goes. this is coming from my second best source, and a new one who's also heard the same. new guy and i have heard a lot of the same stuff, so i think he's cool.

as far as Kojima's game goes, im looking forward to it big time. as much as i like Metal Gear, i think his non metal gear stuff has been far and away his best work i think. being that this should be a new IP, im pumped since it's been forever since the guy has done something new on a console. possible Revolution game? maybe. i hear he's taking a big risk with what he's doing, and that the risk doesn't have to do with the games content. so who knows what my source was reffering to.

 

[The End]

Very much looking forward to MGA2. Throw in a couple more boss fights, tighten up the translation a bit, it would be perfect.

 

[BigBoss]

MGS4, MGA2, and a new Kojima game make me very happy.

 

[Socreges]

I was going to bitch and moan, but so long as MGS4 is there.

 

[Amir0x]

I'm not going to get excited... but... MGS4 + MGA2 =

 

[TheDiave]

They're bothering, why? Just give us MGS4.

 

[Dead]

They're bothering, why?

MGS + Card Game = Lame.

uh yeah

Have you even played it?

 

[Amir0x]

uh yeah

Have you even played it?

Is that what he originally said? He edited it out to seem less inflammatory!

I highly doubt Diave has played it

 

[ProgramFighter]

Well, I'm looking forward to this. Hopefully they'll show something at E3. I wonder what they'll add/change.

 

[duckroll]

They're bothering, why? Just give us MGS4.

Because they can give us BOTH? Since when was pleasing more people a bad thing?
