Kojima says Ground Zeroes is 2taboo4u

Posted on February 27, 2013 09:06 pm by Ravi Singh

Talking to some guys, Hideo Kojima talked about how Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes will be 2taboo4u and that he isn't even sure if the fucking thing will be released or sell decently.

“I’m going to be treading a lot of taboos, and a lot of mature themes that really are quite risky. Honestly, I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to release the game. Even if I did release the game, maybe it wouldn’t sell because it’s all too much. But as a creator I want to take that risk. As a producer it’s my job to try and sell the game, but I’m approaching this project from the point of view as a creator. I’m prioritising [sic] creativity over sales.”



The fuck? We've already got implied child rape. Then there's almost statutory rape. Then there's cutting law enforcement up into tiny exploding pieces. So what will Ground Zeroes bring to the table? Will Big Boss finally go full-batshit-insane and devour the eyes of war torn orphans while snorting lines of cocaine off of Gray Fox's teenage erect penis?

"Video games as a medium haven't matured very much at all in the last 25 years. [...] Over the past 25 year I have tried to work with the Metal Gear series to introduce more mature themes, but really it hasn't gotten there yet. Compared to movies and books it still has a long way to go."

It's true. He tried so hard with references to poo poo and pee pee. When I first played Metal Gear Solid I was but a boy. Then after watching Snake and Meryl ride off into the sunset I was suddenly had six hungry mouths to feed and a pile of bills to pay. Metal Gear ruined my childhood.

I guess Kojima was tired of the whole "no really guys this is my last one ever, no more after this oh wait lol nevermind" thing and changed it to "no really guys, im not even releasing this one oh wait lol nevermind." This is the dawn of a new age, I suppose.

Hideo Kojima riked The Phantom Pain trailer

Posted on January 21, 2013 09:10 pm by Ravi Singh

Hey I know we didn't cover it but as you probably should have noticed if you are relying solely on us to give you news then you're missing out on a lot of it but yeah, there was a trailer for M̶e̶t̶a̶l̶ ̶G̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶S̶o̶l̶i̶d̶ ̶V̶ The Phantom Pain where S̶n̶a̶k̶e̶ Some Guy stumbles around a hospital. I wouldn't say H̶i̶d̶e̶o̶ ̶K̶o̶j̶i̶m̶a̶ Joakim Mogren wowed anyone at the VGAs this year with the trailer, but it did make them scratch heads and go Lone Gunman mode.

Hideo Kojima was asked about it by IGN Middle East (seriously, IGN Middle East) and here's what he has to say about it.

"It was very visually appealing. The lighting was very good.:

When the interviewer brought up how the main character in the trailer i̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶t̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ resembles Snake, Kojima responds that it may have been an inspiration.

Man, we are all going to look so god damn foolish when Kojima comes out and is all like "[laughs]" and "This is not The Phantom Pain this is MGSV developed by Kojima Productions not Moby Dick Studios and it is the FOX Engine not WHALE!" Seriously, we're just going to look like the dumbest fucking gullible pieces of shit when that happens. We'll be like "OHHHH SHIIIIIIIT!!!1111" and he'll be like "Yeah, didn't see that coming, did you? I can't believe you all bought Revengeance too. Seriously guys." It'll be like how it probably feels to realize your internet girlfriend doesn't exist.

NA Revengeance box art gets straight to the fucking point

Posted on December 14, 2012 09:40 pm by Ravi Singh

If you have no idea what the fuck Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is all about and you live in North America, you would still get an idea of what the game is all about from just looking at the CG-of-course box art.



However, in case the gameplay style is seen as vague to customers, I suggest Konami to somehow make the game box also work as a musical box so that when they open the case, the breakdown of HORSE the Band's Cutsman plays: "CUT... CUT... CUT... CUUUUT!"

Yes, I know that song is actually about a Mega Man character, but whatever, it's all about being wrong anyways.

HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD WOW WHAT

Posted on September 02, 2012 04:26 am by Ravi Singh

LOOK AT THIS SHIT HOLY FUCK CURRENT GEN WOW I MEAN LIKE WHOA ACTUAL SNEAKING NO BULLSHIT CAMOUFLAGE DRIVING VEHICLES AND HOLY SHIT AMAZING REAL TIME CUTSCENE BIG BOSS CAN CRAWL AGAIN WHAT WHEN?!?

Also, hahahaha fucking IGN thinks Paz turned into a young boy, somehow:

"Regardless, we're next shown a child in a cage - Paz - who appears to have headphones plugged into her chest (she unplugs them, replugging them into an old walkman). She's betrayed the man somehow. He tells the girl to give his regards to her "Boss" (yes, capital B in sub-titles) as he leaves."

New Rising screenshots from SDCC12 1up'd by fake MGS5 shots

Posted on July 18, 2012 09:38 pm by Ravi Singh

It's kind of telling that a lot of people are not even aware of the new Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance screenshots that were released during San Diego Comic Con, yet everyone and their pet foamed their mouths over the obviously faked snapshots of what was supposedly a super secret Power Point presentation about Metal Gear Solid 5.

With that said, here's an official screenshot released by Konami of the next installment in the Metal Gear series. Brace yourselves for the amazing detail or whatever:



Beautiful. Anyways, even though Hideo Kojima and Badass Ken confirmed the MGS5 bullshit as, well, bullshit, neither of them said anything about that MGS6 presentation I blacked out at.
