Kojimasan is no slacker; he develops the best of the best there’s not denying the fact. His latest effort, MGS: Peace Walker hits store shelves in April for Japan and May of this year for the west but don’t be fooled, it’s not some rushed out half-stepping title, it’s a “true MGS game in the Saga”.
“PW is going to be released as a portable game, but it is a TRUE MGS game in the saga, not a spin-off. Of course, we have put a lot of power into the story. It should be pretty exciting. The potential of a portable game, an innovative system that changes the nature of future MGS is what makes this a game a title to look forward too,” the boss said though a tweet. By the way, the man’s addicted to twitter.
He also gave details on how the story for Peace Walker came about.
“The idea of PW sprung from news I saw about 5 years ago. At the time, the President of Costa Rica was supporting the U.S. in the war with Iraq, and a college student took legal action and won stating that the support of war “breaches the constitution” of the country. This was a key hint for me to write a script about a “country without an army” and ‘soldiers without borders.”
Personally I’m a huge fan of the franchise and have played every title available, I’m also intensely awaiting Peace Walker. It’ll be a hit for sure.
See the thing is, there are certain titles you could let slip on your radar, but if you’re Metal Gear Solid fan, no title can pass without you taking notice, it’s just impossible.
Thanks, PSXextreme.
