Sadly, the more I see of this game the more I'm convinced this isn't the WWI shooter I want.
If you're this interested in WWI shooters than you've probably already heard of and tried, but have you looked into Verdun? Gameplay wise it feels much more WWI to me than Battlefield One, which has this sort of weird WWI-tech-but-WWII-tactics thing going on.
I now have a passionate and irrational hatred of all the people in this video, but at least they seem to be real people unlike Ubisoft's voice-acted dudebro trailers. This also looks like a really fun co-op game with some real purdy water. I mean, wow, that water. I could swim in it.
I watched Ghost in the Shell some time ago and found it stylisitcally cool but underwhelming from a story perspective. I never understood why so much of a fanbase emerged around a movie that didn't really have much of a plot, but after watching the quick look and reading some of the comments here, I think I understand a little more. Is Stand Alone Complex worth watching for some hot cyberpunk dystopia action or not so much?
Also, the excellent HL2 mod NEOTOKYO° continues to be the best Ghost in the Shell game.
Those chocolate mug things actually look pretty good. You could even warm them up a bit for some hot chocolate mugs...Move over, Paula Deen, Jeff is truly America's next great cooking sensation!
"I'm curious to see what will come from this. Maybe it's cynical--or maybe it's just a sign of the times--but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Kojima on stage at E3 announcing a Kickstarter campaign"
Man, @austin_walker, that was the first that came to my mind the moment I saw the headline.
I don't know, I feel like Kojima is still a well-known enough, relevant dev for Sony or another publisher to fund him for a game. The Kickstarter route makes more sense for niche games like Shenmue that publishers don't feel like they'll get a big return on. I can only imagine a triple-A story-based Kojima franchise would do pretty well, especially after MGSV.
To be fair, I'd take the more honed in story of the first act of MGS V and really good gameplay mechanics in a new game.
I kind of regret that I wasn't able to play Zone of the Enders the first time around but if Kojima's new game would be a mecha or better yet a throwback to his older projects, I'd be really stoked.
EDIT: My take away from this is Andrew House being fluent in Japanese. It was pretty pleasant watching the entire thing with him and Kojima on the same couch.
Also I'm kinda digging Kojima's facial hair.
To be fair, most of the second act messiness in MGSV was because Konami rushed Kojima. As long as Sony gives him a blank check and a fair bit of time, whatever he does next should be as polished as any other AAA title.
I'm going to do some really blind speculation on the new logo for Kojima Productions and say it kind of reminds me of some sort of space marine or cyborg so mecha might not be too far off...
