Dante Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 While Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima just mentioned two days ago that it would be a few more weeks until we find out what the next Metal Gear game is, we may already know today. Metal Gear Touch for Ipod Touch
Nolan Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Still just a rumor atm. Although I suspect that to change shortly.
Ganepark32 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Confirmed by Konami. http://kotaku.com/5112011/konami-confirms-iphone-metal-gear Can also look forward to a few other Konami titles on the iPhone as well. http://kotaku.com/5112024/konami-also-bringing-silent-hill-ddr--frogger-to-the-iphone
S.C.G Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Metal Gear Touch for iPhone... meh, I doubt it will sell a lot and it will probably fall short in some way like Portable Ops did.
Ganepark32 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 The number of people already moaning about it elsewhere is phenomenal. I think we all knew deep down it was going to be an iPhone title but people are still moaning about it not being a 360 Metal Gear title.
S.C.G Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Lol I'm not really bothered either way tbh... I already have MGS4 on the PS3 and it was awesome, if it came to the 360 I might buy it again but I'm not too fussed, tbh I'd like to see a more classic top-down Metal Gear but with upgraded gfx obviously and maybe a cutscene here and there, the DS is perfect for it or even make it Wiiware, won't happen though so w/e.
Owen Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Looks good, i'm happy anyway! Thing is i'm not like a uber MGS fan so i never minded if it was or wasn't coming to the 360 or Wii anyway..
S.C.G Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Yeah but iPhone is mostly a bit of a non gaming platform, yes there are games out for it but they are mostly just ports only warranted by the fact that there is a tilt sensor inside it.
EchoDesiato Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Must feel bad for X360-only owners who were hoping for it to be MGS4 for 360.
Babooo Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Must feel bad for X360-only owners who were hoping for it to be MGS4 for 360. That's absolutely shit. Agreed. What a let down.
Ramar Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I never got myself excited so it's no real loss.
Caris Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I'm quite happy over this, the fact that Silent Hill etc are coming to the iPhone+iPod Touch means Apple really are pushing them as a portable gaming machines.
S.C.G Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 It might look good but I bet it falls short somewhere in the gameplay department.
Shino Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 So you aim with your finger right in the middle of the screen? I don't think they thought this trough. Why are devs supporting this thing? Its just what we need in gaming, a brand were the fans are more fanatic than console fans.
Caris Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Why are devs supporting this thing? Its just what we need in gaming, a brand were the fans are more fanatic than console fans. What do you mean by that? Also the iPhone is a pick up and play console, i don't think this is meant to be a long immersive experience. Just a bit of fun based on MGS.
Dante Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 got N-Gage Metal Gear Solid Mobile then? screens
D_prOdigy Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 MGST eh? I find you can learn quite a lot from the URL of these things. http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/mgst/?ref=kjp_eng Now, even assuming the "t" would stand for something like "teaser", the "s" is surely indication it may very well be an iteration in the Solid series. </smug>
Goron_3 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Wow can't wait. I've got a 32Gb iPod touch and it's a great pick up and play console. Can't believe I'm saying this but i enjoying the games on it far more than I am my DS. Some great games on their too (the new brothers in Arms looks solid). Should be interesting to see what they do with this, but the most important thing is that they nail the controls.
dwarf Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Im glad it isnt MGS4 on the 360 because I would have died a little inside after buying the PS3 largely due to the game. I'd still have bought it for the other exclusives still though. I tried some games on the Touch recentlyand was pleasantly surprised at the quality - maybe iPod could become slightly more games-focused.
Sheikah Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 That's absolutely shit. XD Brilliantly put. What an anticlimax.
Hellfire Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Wow can't wait. I've got a 32Gb iPod touch and it's a great pick up and play console.

Can't believe you're saying it either lol They seem to be interested in making MGS games I can't play. :P
