Corporate vice president of Xbox Live, John Schappert has told the BBC that now the Metal Gear franchise is heading to Xbox 360, the company now has "all the franchises" and "the best games."
"The Metal Gear Solid franchise was the last franchise that we were really truly looking to get on board," he said
"We've got the best games and we've got all the franchises that might have started their lives on other consoles coming to the 360."
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.
I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.
It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.
Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.
This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.
I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.
kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.
Hence i said script
i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements
Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.
Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.
Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.
i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.
i think its not easy to replicate.
I doubt it could.
Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.
I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.
Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.
Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.
Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!
In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
Both of the HD systems have a bunch of solid games. Sony definitely outweighs MS in terms of the volume of console exclusive franchises though; that won't appear on PC or anywhere else.
I guess I'm waiting for the Tokyo Game Show for MS to announce their JRPGs (I skipped Star Ocean as the character designs/ voices looked annoying, but will be picking up Magna Carta 2 and the 99 Nights sequel). Unless they've just given up on Japan at this point. I'm curious to see how Square Enix behaves at Sony's conference today - that will be very telling.
Uncharted, GT, Killzone, Socom, God Of War, Motorstorm, Ratchet And Clank, Resistance and thats just off the top of my head which have got more than 1 game to there name, but i suppose if i was getting the money he is i'd say anything to.
It's true the 360 as all the franchises now there's nothing left for Sony and their pathetic fans.
I wonder what MS will do next year now that they have all the big 3rd party franchises
That's one thing that annoyed me from the MS conference. They kept repeating best this and best that. Isn't that essentially a form of brain washing? Keep repeating something until people start to believe it, even though it might not be true.
