Hideo Kojima Hints Metal Gear Solid V Was An “Unfinished Masterpiece”
Due to a new posting on social media, Hideo Kojima may have inadvertently confirmed that his version of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was unfinished. It’s no secret prolific video game maker, Hideo Kojima, likes to do two things: post on social media and tease fans, and today he may have done both. In a new "post on X" (formerly Twitter), Kojima posted a published article from "Inverse" that’s titled “10 Years Later, Hideo Kojima’s Unfinished Masterpiece Is Still Influencing Today’s Games,” w... Before the Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater remake, the complete MGS5 is going cheap
If you're looking for something to keep you occupied ahead of the Snake Eater remake, dive into Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 5 Definitive Experience, a masterful take on the tactical espionage action genre. Set in two parts, Ground Zero acts as the amuse-bouche, a Pesto Scallop if you will, a tiny bite of flavor that gets your mouth watering, ready for the main meal, The Phantom Pain, which offers one of the most emotional experiences in the history of videogames. Right now, you can get both ... Solid Snake actor David Hayter is no longer a hater of Metal Gear Solid 5, reveals it's his 'favorite gameplay of the series' despite his replacement in the lead role
In an interview with "VGC", beloved Metal Gear Solid voice actor David Hayter revealed that, not only has time healed the sting of getting recast in Metal Gear Solid 5, he has played the game and loves it... "Read more." He once said playing Metal Gear Solid 5 would be '60 hours of humiliation,' but Snake actor David Hayter finally played the game: 'All is forgiven'
Metal Gear Solid 5 came out (oh my god) 10 years ago, but it can still spark discourse like a game half its age. Did Konami mistreat Hideo Kojima? Did Kojima push his luck too far? Will we ever get Episode 51 (no)? Do we regret our words and deeds more than the regular amount? And can we ever forgive the way the series unceremoniously jettisoned David Hayter as Snake's actor so Kojima could hang out with Kiefer Sutherland, who voiced MGS5's Venom Snake?.. "Read more." After 10 years, there's a functioning Metal Gear Solid 5 co-op mod so you and a friend can be played like a damn fiddle together
For my money, Metal Gear Solid 5 remains the watermark for open world action games thanks to its excellent espionage toybox, its mercenary company management systems, and the timeless satisfaction of abducting enemy combatants with a little balloon. 10 years after its launch, it just got even better thanks to "Dynamite", a functioning two-player MGS5 co-op mod from modder unknown321... "Read more."
