Metal Gear

[Marissa Moira]

It'd be cool if they remade Portable Ops and Peace Walker in the FOX engine.

Bluepoint is supposedly remaking Metal Gear Solid. So it would be a bit before we would get the PSP games.

 

[Captain Syrup]

Portable Ops is the only "canon" entry I haven't played at all, I remain curious about it due to the return of characters like Paramedic as well as a young Campbell.

You can tell Kojima had absolutely no interest in PO since he discarded all of those characters before Peace Walker.

The game is very derivative. Everyone is from a previous game or, in the case of Gene, a pale copy of Big Boss. Each thrown in the mix with no rhyme or reason. Even the recruitment system sucked; which is why the Fulton was such a godsend.

And yet the irony is PO had an influence on the series that lasted all the way to The Phantom Pain, it was the game that started the whole idea of Big Boss recruiting NPCs.

Sokolov showing up for 5 minutes > Otacon Clone

Also whatever happened to Amanda, Chico and that French Woman in MGS V? Kojima couldn't stop just discarding characters the further he went.

The fact the game is derivative is why it's not such a fucking mess compared to every other post MGS3 game Kojima has made tbqh. That being said, it's not something I think you'd enjoy Dom. Storyline is very light, it's a very gameplay focused game and the gameplay in Peace Walker outside grindy boss fights is much better. I mean play it if you can get the chance but I wouldn't go out and find a PSP just to play it.

I still have my old PSP but the battery got fucked up and I think the screen had some dead pixels, if I played it I'd probably emulate it but it's a question of whether I care enough.

This is the one time I'll give him credit for improving on an idea. There is a skeleton of a game in PO.

Chico was killed when the rocket hit the helicopter and Amanda is alive but is an abandoned character.

Chico was killed in Ground Zeroes.
Amanda and Cécile are not seen again in the franchise.

Amanda gets mentioned in MGSV.

Cécile fucked off back home before the inspection. Since she didn't get betrayed or vagina bombed or set on fire or cloned or browbeaten by an AI girlfriend or anything, I think Cécile might be the winner of the entire franchise.

That's because she was chosen by god himself. no, seriously it's a cutscene on Peace Walker

The japanese version is even more insane.

Kaz missinterpreted Kojima for Konami.
Kojima's the angel of the morning who wants to be the big boss, but was cast out of paradise.

Humorous, enjoyable, and campy, and entirely in line with the weird Cold Wars pulp theme the game has, but really, that's the infamous Big Boss, evil genius and mercenary mastermind?

One thing I disliked about MGS4 was that it wasn't very funny. It had its moments like at the end but my overall memory of it is that it wasn't very funny and I always appreciated the silly humor.

To be fair, I always found that contrast quite unique. Big Boss fighting the man that resembles the one he will become. Kind of poetic if you ask me, as in "Beware the one that fights monsters...."

Meh, MGS 4 just wasnt built for humor. I think with all that it has, humor would just be so out of place. I legit dont know how you could add humor to a story where Snake is dying and is just barely capable of pulling this mission off without the help of a muscle suit to compensate for his degrating body.
MGS 4 is just meant to be lowest point of the series, the beginning of the final act you could say. Its the end of the whole saga, so humor by that point wouldnt add much. Thats all my opinion at least, I love MGS humor but Im glad it wasnt all over MGS 4 specifically.

 

[Captain Syrup]

An important element is that warmth of camaraderie. The Tanker mission ticked all those boxes, too.

Metal Gear stories don't allow for humor, really. You're a man on a mission; in and out.

Remember that people complained that MGS V still didn't show us "Big Boss becoming the villain" despite the fact that this entire fucking speech was the ending to Peace Walker.

Yeah, people are fucking retarded.

You think the average kojima fanboy has played peace walker, you're giving them way too much credit.

Paul Eiding (Roy Campbell) says his most-hated line:

 

[WhoIsSutterKane]

I still need to replay MSG V: The Phantom Pain, I got really far but never beat it then some other game came out and I stopped playing it.

How do you think Kojima feels about the newest Bond ripping of Foxdie with Nanomachines?

Probably honored.

Kojima was ripping off Escape from New York's injection of "microexplosives," so it's full circle.

Les Efants Terribles was ripped off from the world renowned Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Twins.

My dude, you are preaching to the choir. From elsewhere on this board:

I need to watch that again; from what I remember, this sounds really plausible.
Speaking of now-obscure 1980s movie references, though:

No kidding.

I was chasing childhood memories via home video a few years ago, and it'd have to be a huge coincidence how much

1. clone angst
2. completely plausible and well-researched explanations of genetics and biology

from Twins just went straight into MGS1.

1988, don't know how well the movie did in Japan, but you cannot dissuade me from my theory.
