Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Was Originally MGS5 [Konami]

Last May, Kojima Productions launched a teaser site with either a “S” or a “5″. It was a number “5″. And it belongs to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. According to Konami spokesperson Jirou Oishi, Peace Walker was named Metal Gear Solid 5 during the planning stages. These are concept logos for the game. Peace Walker no longer carries the “5″, but for Konami, the title lives up to its the number. “This game is an MGS5-class game,” Hideo Kojima stated in July 2009. “I am supervising, designing, producing, directing, and editing this title together with the MGS4 team.” Metal Gear: Peace Walker will be released on April 29 in Japan, May 25 in the US and May 27 in Europe. The game will require “hundreds of hours” to complete. MGS PWメイキング 第01回これは続くのか！？｜「コジブロ」コナミ小島プロダクション公式ウェブログPowered by Ameba [Kojima Pro]

How Does Konami Do Without Metal Gear Solid? [Konami]

Konami has a handful of big franchises, but its biggest are Metal Gear Solid and Pro Evolution Soccer. Last year, a Pro Evo game was released, but other than an iPhone game, no MGS. How did that affect the company? The Tokyo-based game company has announced its consolidated results for the nine months ending on December 31, 2009. Net revenues were

Metal Gear Solid Gets Singing Weapons [PSP]

Just in case the Metal Gear Solid games were seeming conventional to you, the next one will include singing weapons. The late May PSP game Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker , which so impressed me at the Tokyo Game Show last year , will have so-called AI weapons, publisher Konami announced today. Better to have them explain this: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker also introduces new AI Weapons – giant unmanned behemoths that Snake must overcome to complete his mission. These include hover, airborne, and tank-style vehicles. Each AI Weapon can speak and even sing during battle using VOCALOID technology, hinting at a surprising level of intelligence. The company also announced the inclusion of Mother Base, a hub area where players can amass and use soldiers they’ve recruited in the game to expand the base and “access new functions.” Konami also indicated that the game will support three-vs-three battles over local wireless connections, in addition to the already-demoed four-player co-operative mode. I’ve included images of two of the AI weapons. I have no idea what kinds of songs they might sing.

Metal Gear Movie Probably Not Happening [Hollywood]

What seemed like a match made in heaven, Hollywood and Metal Gear Solid , does not look like it was meant to be. The stealth series, created by game designer Hideo Kojima , was known for its stealth game play and movie style cinematics. Metal Gear Solid looked, if not played, like a motion picture. These cinematic stylings were no accident — designer Hideo Kojima has cited numerous movies that have influenced the MGS games. When it was announced that a movie version of Metal Gear Solid was in the works, it seemed like a perfect fit. Initially there were rumors that Christian Bale would be snake, chatter that Snake voice actor and Hollywood scribe David Hayter wanted to do the script and word that Kurt Wimmer, whose directing credits include sci-fi action fodder like Equilibrium and Ultraviolet would be helming the project. Producer Michael De Luca, whose credits range from the good (Boogie Nights) to the not-so-good (Little Nicky), was spearheading the Hollywood version of the flick. In a recent interview with Collider.com, De Luca describes how the entire project has stalled: I don’t think it’s going to move forward because I got the sense that there may not be enough of a coordinated will at this point on the side of certain parties to see a movie get made.” According to De Luca, a movie can only hurt a franchise — not necessarily help. If the film is good, then it will sell games. If the film is a stinker, then it tarnishes the franchise’s image. It becomes a black eye. “Video game companies are very protective of their property and there are certain things a studio requires freedom-wise to market and distribute a movie effectively in a global marketplace and sometimes getting those two things to match up is really hard,” says the producer. “And in the case of Metal Gear Solid, the agendas just….not because the parties weren’t amicable, it was just kind of impossible to get the agendas to match up.” In spring 2008, De Luca spoke at length about the “rich universe” Hideo Kojima created and how cinematic the series is. “Not mess with the DNA of the game but provide a movie that is an adaptation but that has it’s own cinematic identity so even if you don’t play the game you know, you’ll come out of that movie feeling like you did at the end of The Matrix or the end of Robocop,” the producer said at the time. Several sources close to the project have confirmed that the Metal Gear Solid movie isn’t happening. The reason, however, seems to be an issue of money. Sony Pictures was willing to finance somewhere between $40 million ~ $80 million for the film; however, Kojima Productions and Konami balked, believing that the figure was not enough to create a proper cinematic version of the game. By today’s standard, the budget would have put Metal Gear Solid at the lower end of the production scale. For comparison’s sake, Sony Pictures film Spider-Man 3 had a $300 million budget.
