The Sun Is In Your Hand: Kojima and PSP Go!
Akiba | 2:45 AM on 06.01.2009 7 comments




Has anyone theorized that Kojima's next game might actually be games? Like, more than one? I was almost convinced that the teaser site was hinting Boktai 5 until the Big Boss and Raiden images all but confirmed the existence of another Metal Gear, but the blinking letter/numbers/symbols were so cryptic even Robert Langdon couldn't make heads or tails of it. And I'll admit, I fapped my ass off. But, like everyone else, I was let down that Kojima wouldn't be releasing anything new outside the Metal Gear franchise. And then the second teaser site appeared, and, more recently, there was mention of a new Metal Gear in the leaked Quore video. WTF, right? I find myself more pissed off than exited with all these teasers and theories. I hope that every theory is right. I hope we get a new Metal Gear, a new Z.O.E, Boktai 5 and whatever else, all at the same time.

Christ, I love Kojima.



Secondly, the PSP Go!
I like it. A lot.

Based on the size comparison above, all the bitches that have been bitching about how uncomfortable it will be to hold need to stop bitching. It's a slimmed down PSP meant to evoke a cell phone. It's no iPod touch or Zune HD, but it'll get the job done, and with 16 gigs built in Sony is heading in the right direction. I just hope it won't cost a small fortune to get my hands on one. But I know it will.

FIRST! Hah! n00bs.

As far as the PSP Go goes, if there's no UMD drive, then it's worthless to me. If there are any downloadable games I want, I'll just get them on a memory stick. It's not worth sacrificing the entire PSP's library just for downloadable stuff when the current PSPs do all of it anyway.

Kojima's thing? Who knows, it'll be done soon.

I was just thinking that last night when I finally went back to see the site again at countdown 16:00:00 or so...it could actually be MGS 5 and 6 plus MGS PSP/DS with Boktai 5 and Zone of the Enders 3. All culminating in the big reveal of Snatcher 2 for the colecovision. That would be amazing!

I'm not excited at all for another MGS title. The story, presentation, characterization, and script of MGS4 was upsetting to me. Unless there are some major changes in the next game, I might actually forgo it all together, and I might just acknowledge MGS3-MGS2 (games' timeline) as the only titles to exist.

I think the PSP Go! is supposed to be a cheaper alternative to the regular PSP. They removed the expensive drive spindles, lasers, additional hardware, so the thing should actually be priced competitively low.

The thing that gets me about the Go is that there's no UMD drive. Are they going to put every single title on the online store available in UMD format now? I told one of my friends yesterday that some kid's Christmas is gonna be ruined when he gets a Go and a whole bunch of UMD titles he can't play...XD

Failing that, I'd honestly hope there's some way to transfer UMDs to the Go. The only titles I've seen on the online store have been games that are quite old or were not very popular, and then stuff like Patapon 2.
Discarded Couch Sandwich's Destructoid Blog
I'm hoping Kojima has more than one game up his sleeve, maybe one for each ridiculous countdown they've done. It'll put some rest to the speculation anyway.

And for the PSP Go, it just makes me want a 3000 more. The Go doesn't seem to do anything that the 3000 doesn't, apart from have a slide screen and be a little smaller. Plus to me the old design is fantastic enough for a new one not to be relevant for a long time.

Why do people care about UMDs? The only one I own is Gitaroo Man.
