Kojima Countdown: Analyzing the METAL GEAR SOLID Series- Part 1

Karan writes- "DEATH STRANDING is on the horizon. Which means that no matter which way you slice it, the name of Hideo Kojima is going to be all over every form of gaming media there is. Whether you think this is a good or bad thing, depends entirely on you. You could be a longtime devotee, an eternal skeptic, or someone who does not give a crap. Either way, you’re probably familiar with him and his body of work. To be specific, you’re probably familiar with METAL GEAR SOLID (or METAL GEAR, for purists)– His famous stealth-action series that is both lauded and reviled in equal measure to this day. You either love it or hate it. And in either case, you’re probably justified. Either way, if you’ve been playing games for a while, you probably haven’t been ignoring it.

To celebrate (or is it dread?) DEATH STRANDING, we’ve decided to re-play all canonical Kojima-directed METAL GEAR SOLIDS to update our opinion on them before release date hits for his latest game. While time and memory often blurs our initial perception of things, we decided to go with a clear and open mind on this one."

Helldivers 2 weapon rebalancing to get massive buff with studio’s new Chief Creative Officer

Pilestedt writes: "Very good question. First thing we got to do is ensure we get more devs time playing the game. It's hard to make the right decisions if the eyes aren't on the road.

Secondly, I want to ensure we actively look at the sentiment and create a holistic view of WHY feedback is given. And my working theory is that TTK is too high."

They need to give us weapons that are fun to use. Right now you will have over 30 enemy patrols that randomly appear around you in a near never ending horde. Most of the weapons we are getting are either semi automatic guns that can take out 1 light armored mob if you hit the weak point or low damage automatic rifles with high recoil.

To make the game more fun, we need some fun futuristic weapons. I would love to see a gun that can fire elemental rounds except for incendiary and a proper thermite grenade.

It will be something like "we erased gameplay all together it's just a movie now"

purple10122h ago

every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'

from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4

and now we will see what they do with ps5,

Press X for doubt at "PS5"

Arrogant asshole who sniffs his own farts bigs up next game…sounds like typical PR to me

You know what I find interesting? Almost every site reporting this as the main title where the REAL interesting bit of the interview is Neil praising AI and saying it will be used to help push story, characters, dialogue and more.

It’s super shitty to big up AI especially when it comes to story telling and other creative elements.

Just because someone says this type of stuff, it doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to be good news.

You can say this about microtransactions. MXTs revolutionised the gaming industry.

He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.

CrimsonWing6919h ago

I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
