So MGS5 with Big Boss and Raiden (or Grey Fox) Anyone else ridiculously excited for this?
[edit]Oh Snap! Here's am (admittedly unconfirmed) translation of the article from Playstation insider/ with summary's from
Genki JAM's Dtoid Cblog[/edit]
"1. (The Big Boss image is posted above)
Interviewer: "Is that Big Boss?"
Kojima: It's a little different from XX
(or XXX's next form is a little different)
Interviewer: "Whaaaattt? Different???"
2.ã
Kojima: I still can't tell you what the title is, but this is the real
deal. Put it this way, it's part of the orthodox "Metal Gear Saga"
(The text below was mostly blocked out, but it talked about what
timeframe the game is based in, and it appears that it's across all
time periods)
3.
Kojima: I want the game's core to be aimed towards Japan, and released globally. XXX... It's being made by MGS4 staff
Interviewer: That's awesome!
4.
Kojima: The symbol on the cap of the old man (he did not say Big Boss) will be important
Interviewer: This symbol is different from the fox, it looks like a world map
Kojima: No just the mark, but the system of the game will be new!
Note: Kojima uses "This old man" a lot through the interview rather than referring to Big Boss
5.
Interviewer: It sounds interesting, but do you think people will understand it at all?
Kojima: I think people will understand
Well... Tried my best to translate it, but it's so hard with all the
blocked out text... bloody Kojima. That's all I can do for now, maybe
I'll give it another go later
Summary:
Interestingly the old man in the cap might not be Big Boss, the story will be part of the main MGS saga and it will go through different time periods. New game system, and it's being made by the staff from MGS4
And yet another translation:
Famitsu: Is the generation XXX?
Kojima: No, it's XXX. If I were to say it all, perhaps XXXXX. I'm currently doing the game design and direction.
Famitsu: Really!
Kojima: I believe Japan will be the focus, but it will be sold
throughout the world. Within me, this is XXXX. I won't say it's X, but
I am making a proper story, and it is being made by the MGS4 staff.
Famitsu: Really! That's amazing.
Elsewhere, the interview touches a bit upon the content of the game:
Kojima: The mark on the old man's hat is very important
Famitsu: This mark is different from a fox. It's like a world map.
Kojima: Not just the mark, but the game systems are also new.
Famitsu: Is it XX-XXXXXXXXXX?
Kojima: Yes. We'll be doing stuff that one would expect of
XXXXXXX. XXXX and so-forth are obvious, so those will be included.
Uh-oh... I said stuff that was unplanned (laughs)
Famitsu also asked Kojima about the setting. "The setting is
XXXXXXX," responded Kojima. Apparently, something called "XXXXXXXXX"
happened in this location, leaving it as a "XXXXX" country.
And some rumors:
"It's going to be 1 game PSP and 1 PS3 with interconnectivity between
the two. They hinted at advances in story by playing through both. The
New Metal gear takes place about 7 years after MGS4. That is not Big
Boss, that is actually his most recent clone. I'll give you a hint, he
played a roll in MGS, MGS2, MGS4. The deceptive part is his age, over
the last 7 years his aging has been rapid (Our translator guesses it
could posibly be Akiba?)."
XXX are because the interview is censored on Kojima's request (what a tease)
