LOL.Konami testers speed-ran the main story in 5 mins.
PS4 version looks better than Xbone version.
TPP sounds like a very expensive game to develop. I guess that's why Konami is doing this kickstarter.
Maybe they might be free? If that's the case then it might justify the price.
Very interesting Kojima interview in the issue. Basically talks about how he got into gaming and how he is stuck being the Metal Gear guy. He claims he does not want to be known as that man, he claims he doesnt have much time left cause he is 50 so he wants to write a list of all he wants to do before he dies and make sure he does it which includes writing a novel and making a movie.
He claims he likes simple stories, ironically. He said he always tries to make a simple story. He says he wont let series canon hinder him from telling the story he wants so if he has to contradict a few things he will.
There was a comparison of him and James Cameron with Aliens where that franchise was handed off after Alien and it was successful. Kojima said his situation is more like Terminator where if he left it would become a mess. He claims he has had no success in passing the torch which implies he has tried. There is a lot about Japanese culture and how he doesn't relate to any Japanese developers anymore except Platinum Games.
What I found most interesting is his talk about GTA and Konami. Remember that GTA tweet about how amazing an open world it was and how he was jealous. Well he says he is jealous of Rockstar that they are able to pump all their resources into making the game they desire. He says he can't do that, he still needs to work with Konami and partner on different projects and make sure things are balanced for Konami as a whole.
He says he just got into Breaking Bad and he is pissed cause he wasnt the one to come up with that story, he wants to tell that kind of story. He says if he pitched a story like that to Konami they would probably say no. He also loved Gravity, loved how simple it was and he says trying to create a game that simple would be hard with Konami. He says that movie really impacted him, making something out of the ordinary a big success and is jealous of it as a creator, says it stirred something in him.
He talks about how he is close friends with Guillermo Del Toro, says he would like to work with him one day.
This sounds funny, lol. I know Kojima is a huge movie buff but if he takes a look at his own story, he would have found out how messed up it is. Breaking Bad is nowhere the same level of mess.He says he just got into Breaking Bad and he is pissed cause he wasnt the one to come up with that story, he wants to tell that kind of story.

Even 4 hours for 40$ is ridiculous.

- mobile app for realtime map info
- great gameplay
- regular content downloadable packs between GZ and TPP
Where did you get it for £25? PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 cost around that much.
That made me smile so much I almost broke my face.Holy shit. $40 for two hours of content? That's Hideo(us).
I'll see myself out.

Sounds like he's generally sick of the shit he puts up with, and wants to branch out. Too bad. Those MGS games won't make themselves for Konami!Very interesting Kojima interview in the issue.

I'm getting the PS4 physical edition for 33 euros, so that's not too horrible. I would boycott the shit out of this, but Metal Gear is one of my two favorite videogame series and I can't say no to playing MGS on my PS4 next month.
I'm ok with this.
As I get older, I'm really really pining for more short experiences. I'd much rather a short full experience, than a long, drawn out padded one. Which to be honest, most games feel like these days.
WTF Catlevania Lords of Shadows 2 got a 6?!?!??!?!?!?!?

That full 5 minute experience.I'm ok with this.

How did the first one score?
Infamous Second Son preorders just went way up.
If a game was half price, the same general length for a single playthrough, but an indie title, would some of you give it more of a consideration?
Don't get me wrong, I think $40 is ridiculous (for me, personally) for an experience that short, but I also know that I would give more consideration to a $20 game from an indie studio even if I knew--expected even-- ahead of time that the length of the game was really short. I just weigh my interest in what the developer is going for vs. the asking price.
Having said that, I've never seen an indie game with the kind of production value rivaling the screens we've seen for GZ. That kind of polish doesn't come cheap and the end result is the price we're being asked to pay. It might not be worth it to you-- and personally I am going to have to wait for a serious price drop on this-- but that's my takeaway; If you'd pay 1/2 the price for an indie title of similar length, does the added $20 justify the extra polish?
Well if GI is reporting 2 hours... then the average game playing time could be 3 1/2.
Nobody rushes through games like reviewers. Nobody believes playtime count from Devs.
I think alot of gamers aside from the core enthusiasts play at a very moderate pace when it comes to playtime completion. However, I expect alot of people finishing this one right when they were getting in the groove...

But for the same money you can get games that are also great and longer too?
I don't see why people keep bring up this poor argument.
Konami themselves are boasting Lords of Shadow 2's 20+ hour length for almost the same price!
That makes sense. The mission is finding Chico so if you know exactly where he is in the base camp, it seems obvious you could just speedrun the mission with ease.
Really wonder how much of that 2 hours is composed of cutscenes.
