At the top it says:
Metal Gear Solid Hollywood (in katakana) and what I believe to be the first kanji for movie.

So yeah, guess there is a movie coming

so nice!

Avi Arad
“We will take our time and tell the story with all the nuances, ideology, cautionary tales needed.”

They better, wanted a MGS film for years but have always feared at how it would be messed up.

Winter47th4260d ago

I don't know why you all are happy. A movie was supposed to come a decade ago, even if there's a movie coming now, look at Bioshock, a movie was in the making for half a decade now and it's still going through the shit. Big.Fucking.Deal.

LastDance4260d ago

I look forward to seeing how badly they ruin the MGS franchise.

BitbyDeath4260d ago

Avi Arad is a great choice, for those that don't know he's the guy behind Spiderman, Iron Man, X-Men, Blade etc.

Also he's recently been attached to the upcoming Uncharted movie.

crxss4260d ago

just really hope they cast it correctly.

Commander_TK4260d ago

Let me direct it. I will cast David Hayter as Solid Snake!

bodybombs4260d ago

its too bad kurt russell is to old to play snake, they did base snake off of him after all

NewMonday4260d ago

Avi Arad is something of an expert in making movies from comics, lets hope he can do the same with games, his comments are great for a start

irepbtown4259d ago

After The Batman Trilogy, Christian Bale should be considered. I'm not exactly sure why, I just think this role fits well for him.

I'm sure he's got use to wearing a tight suit anyway...

Eyeco4259d ago (Edited 4259d ago )

why did bodybombs get disagree's for stating a FACT, Solid Snake is based on Snake Plissken from Escape from N.Y, who is played by Kurt Russel infact in MGS2 Snake takes the name Plissken to hide his identity.

Anyways i really hope they don't screw this up, part of me is hoping they won't but i have a feeling its not gonna end well MGS features complexed themes, questions the morality of war and political action i doubt it would do well with modern audiences that are attracted to stupid sub-tripe abominations like Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Especially after MGS4 that story is more intricate than even the more complicated Hollywood movies, imo a story of that caliber could only be conveyed through a video game , the microwave tunnel sequence alone is one of the most tense, emotional experiences i've had in any entertainment medium, and who said games could never be art

I knew his earth shatering news would be underwhelming. I dont really care about an mgs movie, unless the movie is a sequal or prequal to the cannon series. If its just based off of an existing game, then I already knoq the story, so I could care less.

I wanna hear about an MGS 5 and the return of Metal Gear Online in some way, shape, or form. I understand Kojima's love for films, but I prefer games with great stories, and with high replay value (something a film will never have) over most movies nowadays.

DeadlyFire4260d ago

Best for last man just wait. This is first 30 minutes of 4-5 hour thing. So give it time.

doogiebear4260d ago

Yeah thats why im up this late 4 am in nyc...because I love MGS, but i dont give a damn about a movie. It probably wont even be cannon. I want MGO ever since it got shut down 2 months ago... >_<

Then I might care about other stuff like movies and stupid Android phone mgs spin offs

Moby-Royale4260d ago

Lol sequal?

Really?

Sequal?

Wow.

irepbtown4259d ago

The movie has to be a prequel. It's the only logical thing to do. Snake is old, can't see him going on for much longer after MGS4.

I cant wait for MGS5 though, I know Hideo Kojima has something up his sleeve. From what I've read about the clip, it must be magnificent.

Good to see Sony will be handling the movie as well.

HammadTheBeast4260d ago

I want Jason Statham to grow some hair or put on a wig and be Snake. If it's Shia Lebeouf, I will burn the set down personally.

GamerElite4260d ago

Strataham needs to grow some acting skills first. He plays the same character in every movie.

PirateThom4260d ago

I can't believe coverage for this is so poor....

I've heard rumours that FOX engine will be free to licence to developers, but there's nothing concrete about any of it.

NovusTerminus4260d ago

Most sites don't cover Japanese devs anymore. Really sad.

But I did not even hear about the FOX engine being free... That could be very interesting! (If true)

PirateThom4260d ago (Edited 4260d ago )

I'm having to read a Neogaf thread just to know what's going on.

Movie.
Metal Gear Social Ops - Phone game.
Sunny will be in Rising.

HebrewHammer4260d ago

Only if Taylor Lautner plays Snake. Amirite guyz?

humbleopinion4260d ago

Kurt Russell is the only valid choice. Snake is based on his Snake Plissken character anyway.

stevenhiggster4260d ago

1000% agree with Humble, it can only be Kurt Russell. It'd have to based on old snake though, Kurt ain't the sprightly young thing he was when played Snake Pliskin.

FreydaWright4259d ago

Chuck Norris would fit the mold for my tastes the most. It's a shame he isn't 20 or so years younger.

seinfan4259d ago

I don't understand why anybody wouldn't want it to be all CGI. In this manner, we can have all the original voice actors.

There is already a movie, was released exclusively on blu-ray couple of years ago

Lmao, I knew it! Finally some clever trolling on this site!

I'd like to say that's not funny...but I loled so I guess it is...

dcortz20274259d ago

LOL! I'm a Sony fan but that was hilarious! This site needs more laughs, it's gotten way too serious in here, it's NOT normal! I miss the good old days when us Sony fans would go at it with the Nintendo,Xbox,and PC fans.

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Popsicle41d ago

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater - Official Unreal Engine 5 Trailer | Xbox Partner Preview

Get a glimpse at how the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be updated through the use of Unreal Engine 5.

Snookies12186d ago

It looks wonderful visually. Frame rate is very inconsistent though, and definitely running sub-30's at times. I get that this is an alpha version. I just hope we can hit a locked 60 on the final release. Also, I kind of wish they'd expanded the areas a bit. Might feel a bit odd going through these sections that are still clearly going to be on a PS2 scale in size.

neutralgamer1992185d ago

They should expand where necessary and I really hope they do justice to this remake. IMO this remake should be top tier like dead space, resident evil 2 & 4 and demon souls

I am speaking quality wise

CrimsonWing69186d ago

Holy sh*t that looks good! I hope they don't censor it.

GamerRN185d ago

What is there to censor, I never played 3

An Xbox adventure in the jungle

BehindTheRows186d ago

*A multiplatform adventure in the jungle.

autobotdan185d ago

Mentions xbox on n4g. Prepares for nasty n4g comments replys

BehindTheRows186d ago

I mean, you can say that to yourself while you're drugged up on Xbox pills. Changes nothing. :)

autobotdan185d ago

Man you get insulted whan someone mentions xbox. You might need medicine

BehindTheRows185d ago

"Insulted" — says the guy running around like a headless chicken trying to convince folks to care about his favorite box. Ok champ!

BehindTheRows185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

If you actually have a counter argument to this being a multiplatform game and how "A multiplatform adventure in the jungle" was a "nasty reply", I'm all ears.

I'll even help you... what is the counter to this being a multiplatform game and why is that a nasty reply?

autobotdan185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

I was never in any argument or debate. You accused me of being on xbox pills. That was a nasty reply. I am done here. Not going to waste my time here

BehindTheRows185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

I mean, if someone responds to you with a factual correction and you reply with "Xbox xbox xbox", I'm not sure what kind of response should be expected.

If someone replied with "Ps ps ps", I'm sure you would wonder what is going on, especially if nothing wrong was said to you.

autobotdan185d ago

A factual correction?? What the..? I'm very confused here What were you correcting?

BehindTheRows185d ago

I thought you were done? :P

Answer: it's just as much a PlayStation/PC adventure as it is Xbox.

autobotdan185d ago

So i hurt your feelings by not mentioning Playstation/pc on an Xbox event article correct?

BehindTheRows185d ago

Hurt MY feelings? Once again, if someone replies with "Xbox xbox xbox", it's clear that they are affected by something more than they should be. You then double down with some BS about N4G (like this place is immune to trash talked about anyone else but them).

Plus, I thought you were leaving? You can't help yourself. XD

Unreal Engine...how disappointing.

Apovyk186d ago

UE5 is the best looking engine on the market today - why is that disappointing?

RedDeadLB186d ago

Because, at the moment, the most technically problematic and disappointing games run on it. 540p upscaled next gen goodness.

DarXyde186d ago

Disappointing if resolution is a huge deal for you.

Personally, I feel a re-tooled FOX Engine would have done great. If it was a PS5/PC only title, I think Decima would have been an excellent choice.
