Kojima comments about a possible Playstation 3 port for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Hideo Kojima briefly discusses the possibility of porting Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker from the PSP to the Playstation 3.

[mjolliffe]

Do it do it do it, please, Mr. Kojima!

[raztad]

A MGS fan would play the game as is right now. Stop begging, it aint happening.

@Nitro

The story in PW is pretty deep already.

Besides, I would totally prefer a NEW MGS game than just a remake of a PSP game, that I already played.

Honestly doesnt suit me to be begging and waiting years for a game you can play NOW.

[Nitrowolf2]

"And if I had to port it to another console, I would add even more depth to the story."
A MGS fan would want this or at least i would

[DJexs]

raztad probably thinks that MGS: Rising is great and actually a part of the series.

[Count]

I hope that your comment was sarcastic, because if not, you're either sore or ignorant. Maybe both.

[Bobbykotickrulesz]

@ raztad

lol, I played/bought the original Metal Gear games the day they came out on the Nintendo, so shut the fuck up and stop acting like you're the coolest MGS player around.

Because really, I'd bet money you'd never even played a Metal Gear game til the 3rd or 4th installment.

[Count]

Then bet away.

I don't think that I need to tell you how stupid it is to make bets, especially on what you don't even know you can win.

[DJexs]

It is not sarcastic MGS:Rising isn't a real metal gear solid. Hideo didn't make it, his team did. It isn't his work, its his teams. I do not consider it a real MGS because of that sole fact.

[Bobbykotickrulesz]

Hey Anomen, was I talking to you? No? Then why the fuck are you talking to me?

Anyway, I would bet that 90 percent of MGS players had never even heard of the game until it came out on PlayStation. Maybe even PS2.

[Eamon]

raztad isn't an MGS fan.
Don't fall for his trolling.

Every MGS would want a port to the PS3. Especially those who don't have a PSP.

[Army_of_Darkness]

we all would love an HiDef, 60fps remake/port of MGS:PW Rite?! so what's all this commotion about?!
If it happens, Great! If not, get a psp!

[morganfell]

Not all of Kojima's personal team is involved with Rising. He stated that the best people are working on his next project, not Rising.

I always want more true Metal Gear...done right. But anyone foolish enough to think that Peacewalker isn't already a full, deep, stirring, and most realistic Metal Gear to date needs to take 20 feet of good rope and locate the nearest tall tree.

[Insomnia_84]

True and I've put over 70hrs into this game and I'm not done with it yet. It's so f******g addictive!!

[DaTruth]

The game is custom built for the PSP and the levels are designed around that. You can literally play levels between bus transfers!

It wouldn't make sense to port it to the PS3 and if I had my choice I would prefer Kojima get to work on the next installment, rather than me playing the game again!(And it's the type of game where you play levels multiple times in the story mode, so that would kill it even more)

Edit: Actually, I'd prefer he even go work on MGSR to make sure it's a game worthy of the name!(Playing a good MGS game is more important to me than mocking 360 fanboys)

[badz149]

I would rather have a new MGS game over MGS PW PS3 port any day. I haven't played PW yet due to my PSP being fvcked up at the moment and I'm too busy playing on my PS3, but I still hope PW stays on the PSP. PSP's library is building up and making more of its games available elsewhere is counter-productive in terms of popularizing it and appeal it to more gamers! PSP is an awesome platform but it still can't run away from the image of being just 'another' PS platform outside Japan! people need to see the PSP as THE platform for awesome games and these exclusive games are helping it to achieve that. it's a hard battle for Sony but seeing as they are already considered successful in Japan, PSP is here to stay and YES, the games as well; lets just hope they stay on the PSP exclusively!

[raztad]

LOL what a commotion up there. I even was called troll.

@MAJOR

Congratulations. It doesnt change the fact you are not playing PW, or are you? Now GTFO!

@Eamon

Dunno why are you calling me troll. MGS:PW is a game built from the ground up for the PSP and it works very well. The only reason you want it on the PS3 is because you dont own a PSP. That's not my case. Besides the little machine needs this game much more than the PS3.

BTW, I never mentioned Rising. I'm not excited about that game or expecting great things about it. In a recent interview Kojima talked about the New Project he is working on:

http://n4g.com/news/559353/...

I'm surprised nobody paid attention.

[Deios]

We don't all have a PSP, so I will also like to see a port on ps2 or ps3.

[creatchee]

Raztad got called a troll in this particular article! BWAHAHAHA!!!

First off, he's a solid PS3 fan. I won't say fanboy, although his allegiences are unquestioned.

Second, he's on my PSN friends list and I've SEEN HIM PLAY MGS!!! How the hell could he possibly troll this article?

People throw "troll" and "fanboy" around way too easily (and frequently at those who aren't anything of the sort).

[mt]

i played the game , so i want new MGS.

[Hideo_Kojima]

I wonder how many people have threatened to kill him this time...

[sikbeta]

As a MGS Fan I want MGS5 aka MGS:PW on my PS3, I'm not dismissing the PSP Version, It's Awesome but I want PW on the PS3...

[HSx9]

I'm not going to play this game even if they port it to PS3, this dude sold himself out by Microsoft, he basically slapped all of the PS3 community in the face.

[HDgamer]

You most likely watched the gt retrospective then watched the mgs4 youtube gameplay video's then claimed you own and played most of the series to completion which would be a apparent lie. Real die hard fans already know about the 3 MGO's that is still going strong till this date. The original which started on the ps2 was really the very best of it's series besides a few glitches.

[Nitrowolf2]

"The original which started on the ps2 was really the very best of it's series besides a few glitches. " are you speaking of MGS3? yeah that was a great game, but the Original MGS1 on PS1 and before that was the Metal Gear series

If your talking about timeline then yes MGS3 (not counting MG games)

[HDgamer]

I was talking about the online portion lol. Subsistence started the first ever metal gear online. I still miss the old maps and random complaining.

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

Id buy that for sure. I wonder if it would be 40, or 60. Id pay 60 but a port of a psp game should cost less.

I dont plan on buying a psp, so this would be great, more people could buy it. There are alot of people who would but it on ps3(HD with AA I hope) who dont have psp.

[Consoldtobots]

well jack-hoff I think got you beat, I played metal gear on the turbo gfx 16.
talk about a broken game, I got stuck in a room with no way out and thats as far as the game went. lol

[theEnemy]

I don't want to play MGS5 on a freaking tiny screen with PS2 Graphics.

[starvinbull]

Let the portable game have its day first. Give a year head start and then start on the PS3 version.

[execution17]

PSN+ or MGS PW... T_T i want both but i can't afford both with the budget i'm on

[-Mezzo-]

I hope he does it. i still haven't bought the game yet.

[Hellsvacancy]

Neither me, i aint gotta PSP so thats a bad start, id defo buy it if it was released on the PSN though

[sinclaircrown]

Although, I haven't played 1-3 yet, so I would love a remake of those on PS3. MGS4 was epic!

[NecrumSlavery]

Playing MGS4 without playing the predesecors is insane. There's so much story, so many hidden Easter eggs. Play the prequels and play 4 again. It'll be a whole new experience.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Definitely.

[Ares84PS3]

...an MGS1 remake. IF they would do that I would be the happiest man.

[PirateThom]

MGS1 already had a remake and a digital graphic novel release...

I'd rather a remake of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, if anything has to be remade.

[Ares84PS3]

As in terms of graphics.

What you guys call "remakes" are not that great and aren't out for the PS3.

[asyouburn]

twin snakes as well.

[Ocelot525]

but they replaced the good soundtrack from the PS1 by a stupid one

[PirateThom]

"I would add even more depth to the story."

Oh lord, please do it!

The story is incredible as is, who doesn't want more?

[ThanatosDMC]

Also, it'd be really nice if we can hunt again. Big Boss joked about it with Paz and the french girl.

"Kojima is god!" -Kaz (aka Miller)

[DA_SHREDDER]

Thats a great idea. Personally I thought Peace Walker was a way better game than MGS4. Thats saying alot.

[UnwanteDreamz]

Don't say that dude. I was gonna wait for the price to drop before I got it and it is hard when you go saying stuff like that.

[raztad]

I second DA_SHREDDER opinion. Of course within the restrictions (and advantages) of a portable game. PW is fantastic.

@Unwanted

Sorry bro :) it cant be helped. I checked Amazon prices and no price drop as of yet. I guess game is selling very well.

[UnwanteDreamz]

Damn no help...

[ThanatosDMC]

The boss fights in PW is much better compared to MGS4. Type II AI enemies will make you use support boxes like crazy.

[StarScream4Ever]

Please, oh, please do it. I really want to explore Big Bosses pre-Outer Haven events. :D

[Stealth20k]

Metal gear solid 1 already got its remake.

[StarScream4Ever]

For the Gamecube yes.

[theEnemy]

MGS1 Remastered would be much better.

ya know, like the Shadow Moses on MGS4.

;)

[BABY-JEDI]

It's a brilliant game. I've played all versions & loved it. I don't want to see this going down the route of Resi Evil 1 with 5 million versions floating about. Let's keep quality not quantity. Time to move on with the MGS franchise. We all want to see a young Snake kick azz ; )

[TheGameFoxJTV]

As long as it actually looks like it belongs on PS3, and not a shitty PSP port. lol

[cranium]

Dude, it's Kojima. Even if it comes out his ass it's pretty much guaranteed to be gold.

[TheGameFoxJTV]

MGS: RISING. lol

[insomnium]

*a gigantic facepalm*

[Prcko]

but if they do it,will they improve graphics and those kind of stuff??

[DA_SHREDDER]

You obviously aren't familiar with Kojima Productions.

@yewles1

LOL!! :)

[yewles1]

*starts gathering money together for a hopeful pre-order*

[Akagi]

Financially, this would be a smart move.

[PirateThom]

In theory, the problem is Peace Walker has more content than just about any current gen game, way more than MGS4 even...

PSP development is a lot cheaper than PS3 development and they probably made a good profit on the game as is...

Now, even with the MGS4 engine in place and a lot of Peace Walker assets in place, they'd still have a lot of work to make it a "PS3 game" and that does cost money. I'd love to see it though, because it would sell a ton on PS3, at least as much as MGS4 and the co-op elements would probably draw in more people as well.

[Akagi]

I imagine if they did port it to PS3, it would not be handled by Kojima, it would be relegated to one of the smaller 1st party devs Sony carries in its pockets "like so many nickles and dimes". Now, I appreciate that Peace Walker is abundant in content, but that should be another reason why it should experienced in true HD.

[Danja]

Aslong as it has upgraded graphics and control scheme ..Hell Yeah

[Prcko]

sry,i asking,can you answer?

[inception123]

metal gear rising/ps3 version of peace walker special edition on the ps3.

[saimcheeda]

I love this game on the PS3, I had over 40 hours of gameplay before I finished everything. Excellent replay value and the story remains magnificent!

[Game-ur]

"And if I had to port it to another console, I would add even more depth to the story"

Reading between the lines, I find a confirmation

[DarkBlood]

i put in more then 38 hours i believe and still working on the side quests, anyways i would totlly buy it again for ps3 if they come through with it

[telekineticmantis]

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ! ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ? !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ! ?!?!?!?!?!?!? what was that ?

[Stealth20k]

Totally not happening.

He was just asked a question and you people think its true.....

Not happening

[Platinum_k]

do it!!!!

[Vortex3D]

That is one of the advantages of focusing on more gameplay contents than pretty graphics. Just look at many PS3 and X360 games today with very short gameplay contents. While online multiplayer looks like has more gameplay contents but in reality, it's just about replaying the same group of maps over and over again for more scores, not necessary more gameplay contents.

And, some gamers want next gen consoles to have more graphics power. Do they ever think with more focus putting into more details graphics, the gameplay will continue to be reduced? There is only so much money and time to develop a game. Put too much efforts into one area especially graphics, and some other areas that are more important to the gameplay will suffer. Yet, too many gamers don't seem to understand this. They just want better graphics and more gameplay at the same time which is very difficult to do and rarely happens.

Yes, there are a few current gen games that have both great graphics and gameplay such as Uncharted 2 but how often do you get a developer that can do it right?

Now imagine how MGS Peace Walker gameplay contents will be like if the game was developed for PS3 level of graphics.

[wissam]

I wish this come true.

[drdre74]

This needs to be ported. I have it but on the ps3 the controls would be great.

[George Sears]

People just can't conform themselves over nothing. Remake this, port that. Play it now and stop bitching. It's a great game in which you can experience (or obsess with like I am) now.

[commander]

As a MGS fan I still cannot see the value in buying a psp. How about portable ops and peace waker together for $59.99 for ps3.

[tiamat5]

Whst's a matter Kojima? Are you chicken? Hmmm? You aren't doing it be cause you know you can't. Are you bad or are you bad? Be a man! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

[squallheart]

i still understand why people want a port of this game. Its fine the way it is. Is it just for trophie support¿

[Dellis]

It will be ported to PS2 like Konami did SILENT HILL 0

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

it's a newer way of milking the BC train... that I thought people didn't want?

[skyblue14213]

I was originally going to wait until the price drops(because I am on a tight budget) on the psp version of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker before I get it, but if this is true I will wait until it gets released on the ps3 if it gets released in hard copy form. Otherwise if it gets released as a "digital copy only" on psn I will just opt for a hard copy of the psp version. I fully intend to get this game in the future(GOD Willingly), but it is now just a waiting game before I decide to get it.

[memphis2]

do it do it. it would be the smartest thing to do.

[sam2236]

I'll pick it up if it does. I hate the PSP controls and having an actual controller to play the game with would be really nice.

[asyouburn]

you can pair dual shock to it. you still have to aim with the face buttons, but it feels great

[SnukaTheMan]

Whats next...metal gear solid 5 for the psp....its a slippery slope that wont satisfy anyone....its a great game on the psp...why would anyone want a downgrade from psp to ps3...

[DaBadGuy]

That wasn't a no. I want it on PS3 because I don't really care for playing games on the PSP, no dual analog, and it's really a pain. I don't even care about the trophies I just want to play the game properly in all it's 1080p glory on the PS3.

[N4BmpS]

If he does do a port it won't be seen too soon, Hideo always goes that extra mile so he might end up doing a full-fledged PS3 game. Then it would be MGS:PWII but there is always hope.

[CountDracula]

Why is such a talent like Kojima bothering with beating this LONG DEAD HORSE for so long?

He's only been saying that he was going to quit having a big part in the MGS series development for years now.

Although I guess don't blame him because I heard crazy low-life fans would send him (Life) threatening letters if he stopped directing the series.

I's funny, because I believe that's probably the reason why he's been creating such a bat-shit convoluted mess of the story line...Just to see if these crazies would just leave him alone, so he can pursue other projects already! And, as we all know, he has only been adding fuel to the fire! lol

(Ah...Poor guy)

[darkdoom3000]

Anyone who wants to play peace walker has probably played it. It doesnt need a HD remake.
I would rather see a MG1/MG2 remake. 90% of MGS fans havent played MG1/2.

Remember in MGS1, when snake was talking about the epic fistfight against grey fox, in the middle of a minefeild... souned so epic. What is it in reality? A punch fight in a square room, with mines in the walls of the room....

[BYE]

A lot of theoretical talk from Kojima lately, it's time he announces something!

[hatchimatchi]

I already play mgs:pw on my tv via the component cables, i then sync a ps3 controller to the psp and it's just like playing a home console version. I do that with all my psp games, it's awesome.

[Figboy]

and i'm certainly playing the game on my PSP, but i would 100% gobble up a PSN/PS3 version of the title that i can play on my 40" HDTV.

Kojima is one of the industry's greats, and he's earned a fan for life thanks to games like MGS, Boktai, and ZOE. i'll support whatever he makes, and i'll double dip without a second thought (release a MGS HD Collection and i'm all over it).

considering the state of the PSP in terms of software sales, a PSN, uprezed version could give it the exposure it deserves.

i'm not very far in it because of my work schedule(ironically enough, i just started my new job at Konami last week), but it's a great game.

i actually wish ALL PSP games were playable on the PS3, even if they weren't uprezed. i was hoping the PSP Minis would pave the way for more PSP titles to be dual playable on the handheld and the console.

who knows, maybe Sony will do just that.

[hatchimatchi]

"i actually wish ALL PSP games were playable on the PS3, even if they weren't uprezed"

You can do that, you can play any psp game on a tv. All you need is the a/v component cables. They are about 40 dollars, maybe less. You can then sync a ps3 controller to the psp and it's just like playing a console. I never use my psp as a handheld gaming machine, it sits right next to the ps3 in the entertainment center. I love playing psp games on the tv, i find it to be much more enjoyable.

[Figboy]

i'm still rocking the original model.

i'd prefer to have a nice catalog of PSP games saved to my PS3 hard drive, able to be fired up and played with my Dual Shock 3 at a whim, then, if i want to transfer it to my PSP for on the go, i can do that. i'd also like to be able to adjust the screen size of the games on my TV, or have the PS3 do some minimal upscaling so it doesn't look like a blurry mess.

i downloaded this program on my computer that let me run PSP games on my monitor at full screen, and it was GREAT. running Crisis Core and Final Fantasy Dissidia full screen was awesome. the games looked fantastic, even with the jaggies.

i still use my PSP has a hand held gaming machine, i'd just like to have that as an option.

[yourgodisdead]

Just putit on the psn so we can play it on our tv`s with Dualshock support.

[asyouburn]

you can already play it on tv withdual shock.

[StitchJones]

Go for it, just don't expect to charge full retail price for it, because that will not go over well at all.

[BlackCountryBob]

Nice idea and all but I would prefer a HD port of the excellent MGS Twin Snakes.

[moe84]

Naw.

Just in MGS6, make some uber-ultimatewtfpwnd edition with remakes of all mgs versions from the PSX and up with updated visuals. I'd pay a few hundred for that.
Hell, remake all of them NES version too. Do it!

And just for giggles, go go PC exclusive! I kid, I kid...

[zeddy]

probably would be on the 360 aswell

[Spenok]

OOOH, he sounded optimisic about a port. Please Kojima lol. I would buy it again if this happened.
