Konami is no stranger to controversial microtransactions, but the company's decision to sell save slots in Metal Gear Survive just might be its worst idea yet.
Metal Gear Solid Delta is going to have to overcome the same obstacles that helped sink the franchise's last installment, Metal Gear Survive.
"In addition, the game will likely lack the bizarre charm, humor, and depth that can only be found in games that Kojima himself worked on."
If its a remake that stays loyal to the source material how is this an issue?
Kojima cultists are wacky
If they change the script that’s where they would f up big time. They would be stupid to do that
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "No matter what you think about Konami these days, they are sitting on a beloved IP that still has tons and tons of potential for great new stories."
"They're still part of the main series"
No one said otherwise.
MG 1 and 2 aren't Solid games tho. Title literally says "Solid"
Just stating facts.
Likely nothing. After Survive failed Konami knows they can't capitalize on that franchise without Kojima. And Kojima doesn't want to make MGS games anymore, for a decade he kept saying he wanted to make other games.
It's so frustrating that we hear absolutely nothing. Remember, this is what Konami said six years ago: https://www.metalgearinform...
Lets guess that Konami wants the MGS franchise to continue to be multi-platform. Hence don't want to partner with either MS or Sony.
They can easily collab with other Japanese studios (if Konami is unwilling to do MGS with non-Japanese devs) for future games, like they did with MGR:R.
Hypothetical like: Even though Capcom is a long rival, but given the recent state of Konami, they can partner up with Capcom for an awesome MGS revival. Konami directs and publishes, while a Capcom sub-team just develops the game using the RE engine.
They could easily remake old MGS games with the TPP game mechanics and engine, but they won’t.
It’s a shame one of the most innovative game directors also spent most of his career establishing his ideas with a company that doesn’t take pride in innovation.
Pachinko machines work for Konami, so they will continue that until it doesn’t.
"easily"
MGS1 was isometric. Not tps or fps.The first person view is what broke Twin Snakes (Gray Fox & Ocelot fights)
How would the laser sight tracking on handguns from MGS1 work using TPP game mechanics and engine for example?
You might have to think over a few hallways for the older games, but that is being done right now for Dead Space.
And for your second point, I guess they could not have lasers?
I’m not saying it would be an “easy” copy paste job, but it could absolutely be done in a profitable manner. Or, they could just make another pachinko machine.
Konami has updated all of their MGS games that are available on the current-generation consoles. This includes Metal Gear Solid V and Metal Gear Survive.
- Modification of the Agreement Process
These are the patch notes that are accessible on the PS4. The update has been reported to be just under 500 MB. It will be available to download on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. Just don’t expect to find any new content or a patch to upgrade the game for the PS5. There is no such change included in this update.
Headline had my hopes up for a next gen upgrade but... it’s Konami, I should know better.
Whoa! I completely forgot Metal Gear Survive existed at all. It's like it was actually just erased. Weird. I wonder if it's actually as bad as people said it was...
I've played the game a lot. The online multi-player is good fun, but it gets repetitive quickly due to the lack of maps. For a game with micro-trash-actions, there is no excuse for the low number of maps to play in.
The single player on the other hand is awful. It's just nothing but grindy filler. Nothing special, interesting, or memorable happens. One plot twist that was okay, but not worth playing the game for.
The issue is that you must play lots of single mode player in order to improve for the multi-player mode, since your character progress is linked together.
Most people who hate the game never played it, much less experienced the thrills of 4 player online cooperational play. But at the same time, the game is an easy skip.
There are many games worse than Metal Gear: Survive released each year, but also there are many games better released each year as well.
Just don't buy them, or the game, and it will be okay. Konami's straitjacket is just on too tight again.
Not many folks seem to be interested in this game anyway, and Konami is just adding reasons to completely ignore it...
"Just don't associate with it, son!"
"Yes daddy".
This is ridiculous
I wish MGSV had multiple save files but there were none, and now Konami is screwing over people who’d want that feature in the next game
