Kojima-san Talks Open World For MGS5 News

Although Hideo Kojima stuck to his words and decided against showing what he's currently working on during his GDC keynote speech, reading between the lines could possibly hint towards a change in design for the next Metal Gear title.

I don't really know if an open world MGS is in the best interest of the series. I personally felt MGS4 was quite open. Probably the most open of all the games.

Snake isn't the type to jack a car or rob a bank or do the general stuff that makes open games fun. He isn't an assasin or a fugitive like sam fisher for SC conviction. I just don't see how open world can benefit the game.

But if kojima says open world i'll follow, All his MGS games have been ace as far as i'm concerned so i'll just cross my fingers that MGS5 will follow

This is very interesting to be honest.

w/e kojima decides to go with , ill buy it

Unbiased15540d ago

This could be the most awesome thing ever, just think for a second.

MazzingerZ5540d ago (Edited 5540d ago )

You are talking about Snake and perhaps Kojima is talking about another character that is now accepted by MGS fans = Raiden, a Ninja is the perfect character for a semi-open world with side stealth missions for an assasin.

They already explored a litte of that in MGS Portable Ops (side missions) and it didn't hurt the story. I'm sure whatever he does will be great...don't know why, I trust the man :P

Jecht5540d ago

You're assuming that MGS5 will have Snake as the lead character. The rumours are Raiden. And he's anything like he was in MGS4, an open world game could definitely work.

Milky Joe5540d ago

An open world environment like a huge enemy base or something could be really cool where you're given a whole bunch of objectives and you can tackle them however you like, in whatever order you like. That could work well I think.

And like right at the start, you have no weapons bar a knife and your trusty tranq gun, but then you can go off searching for weapons and items to make mission easier. Also, you have to sneak around everywhere at the start, but as the game goes on you can get hold of disguises and such.

That would be absolutely amazing!!!

bpac1234567895540d ago (Edited 5540d ago )

IF Kojima did this it would be an instant must buy. I know that if he makes it open world it will be good, there's no doubt in my mind.

Edit: Not to bash the 360, but if Kojima does make this game open world than every 360 fan can completely scrap the idea of it ever coming to there system. There's no possible way an open world metal gear game is going to fit on a dvd 9 disk. With the ridiculously long cut scenes (all in hd)and dialogue, coupled with the amount of space an open world game takes up, its just not going to happen.

DaTruth5540d ago

Definitely not coming to 360! Imagine a open world game with 7 disks.

Seriously though, an open-world game that blows away Infamous in the technical department.

cactuschef5540d ago

I never felt that MGS4 was too open. Felt pretty linear to me.

Confirmed not on xbox to my knowledge

i guess that means we will see the 100Gig blu ray for this game soon

Montreafart5540d ago

As if there was any doubt.

Go cry us a river, xbots.

Panthers5540d ago

I think he means that you will have tons of option on how to complete an objective. You wont have to follow a specific path. Maybe you pick your own point of entry and stuff like that.

It would be bad ass.

El_Colombiano5540d ago

@ Panthers

You mean like MGS4?

ThePlaystationFour5540d ago

I'm going to jack a 2073 Metal Gear with 65' inches of beauty!

PirateThom5540d ago

Open World for MGS is an interesting idea. I mean, if there were separate warring factions and you had to actively infiltrate their bases to accomplish missions and so on, it wouldn't be that dissimilar to the "mission" structure of Portable Ops, but without the menu.

HOWEVER!

And here's the big problem, Open World game's generally don't work from a story perspective. It all hinges on the player reaching a certain point, no matter how much time passes and that doesn't work for Metal Gear. The story is one of the most important aspects of the series.

HOWEVER 2!!

It would be interesting to see how Kojima works it.

PirateThom5540d ago

Since before Metal Gear Solid 2, I have always worried. I know the game will be good, but will it meet my ridiculous expectations... Kojima's yet to let me down and I think once he does, it will be heartbreaking, so he better not.

rockleex5540d ago

The However sequel ends with a cliffhanger... in which we all have to wait for However: The Prequel.

DaTruth5540d ago

Didn't Kojima have a role in that game? That game was full of fail. Kojima must have been on drugs when he made that game. Total let down there. I guess nobody's perfect!

xabmol5540d ago

You couldn't be further from it.

Aquanauts Holiday at $500. Nice

I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.

Profchaos1d ago

I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions

Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .

P_Bomb1d ago

I still have Afrika. Who knew it’d be worth something?

MrBaskerville17h ago

Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.

Chocoburger15h ago

She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

Thought I was the only one who remembered Trinity lol very underrated

Yui_Suzumiya3d ago

WET and Quantum Theory were both phenomenal

P_Bomb3d ago

I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.

Chocoburger3d ago

Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.

-Foxtrot3d ago

WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly

It had a lot of potential

Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
