Kojima: Just a few weeks away from Metal Gear reveal [Update: MGS iPhone?] photo

#Metal Gear

When it comes to that naughty little Metal Gear tease that hit the Internet a few weeks ago, we're just as in the dark as you are. iPhone game? Xbox 360 game? Are Pogs making a come back?

Who knows? Everyone will soon enough, according to Metal Gear daddy Hideo Kojima. Speaking to 1UP's Sam Kennedy at the Spike VGAs this past weekend, Kojima said all will be revealed soon. To be more specific, he said it would happen over the next few weeks.

What could Kojima and company be planning for the new year? Who knows, but my money's on the Pog thing.

[Update: Oh hey, by "next few weeks" we meant minutes. A supposed scan from the latest issue of Famitsu (via GoNintendo) reveals that the Metal Gear game in question is for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

So there's that. More info soon -- including validation of this scan -- we hope. Thanks to ajay42 for quickly pointing this out.]

I hope it's MGS in Pog form. My JFK slammer is aching for some competition.

er, let.

I honestly don't care about the speculation, but I will care once it's properly revealed. Kojima can be pretentious all he wants.

taumpytears

We still play pogs in college.

eternalplayer2345

Dtoid pogs I want them

Iron Dragon

I was really hoping for either a PSP game or 360 port of MGS 4. Anything would have been fine really... Except this.

I don't have any grudge against Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo. I do however have a huge grudge against Apple and would sooner abandon gaming than give them my money.

HIDEO KOJIMA TO MAKE A MGS-THEMED POG GAME FOR THE WII.

007

Just watch, this is going to end up being a huge letdown.

MGS1 FOR iPHONE, CONFIRMED.

Kalmah

Whoa! Jim's topic just disappeared as I replied with my irrelevant incoherent comment. With that said, I will just comment on this topic... wait, what my comment about? Fuck!

cranes88

What a letdown.

pascuz46

Interesting! who the hell knows that that equation means. might be MGS on I phone OR maybe MGS4 on IMac Computer! Think about it, with all that Mac computer product placement in it, maybe it'll go on that. Of course then again this could be a bran new metal gear and not MGS4. dun dun dunnnnnn.

kapshhh

Finally something worth playing for the itouch/iphone. I'm actually happy with the news.

mr spooky

YEAH suckers. Go buy a PS3 and iphone together. :)

Pyroph

Yeah, fuck that.

Paul Soth

Second. Fuck that noise.

Diverse

The last thing I would do is give my money to Mac.

http://kotaku.com/5111964/metal-gear-solid-4-sackboys-yes-plural-level-pack-arriving-soon[/]New MGS News? Hmmm, Check!

Two

Stupid.

Monodi

Well if it's so, I can see coming Steve Jobs and the rest of the gang breaking it down in front of the three companies as if they got some kind of super achivement.

@Diverse

I REALLY expect you didn't bought an iPod or else your statement would have been hypocrite. And by the way, what's wrong wth Macs anyway? Not trying to make soem bullshit debate but yeah.

@Monodi

Almost completely closed supply, software, and hardware architecture. Apple gets a cut of almost everything.

Also, they put out new products each year with "features" that they intentionally held back.

Both Windows based and Mac based PCs have their share of problems. I'm just not comfortable with a company which intentionally limits functionality and encourages incompatablity.

Then again Microsoft is no saint either...

Tubatic

iPhone game eh?

That's dissappointing.

orao

I don't know any gamer worth his joystick that plays mobile games.

Tron

JUST RELEASE FUCKING METAL GEAR SOLID 4 ON THE FUCKING 360 ALREADY GOD DAMMIT! ALL CAPS!

Dan CiTi

WOW KOJIMA WOW I WANTED ACHIEVEMENTS UNLOCKEDZORZ IN MY METAL GEAR WOW. APPLE WINS AGAIN, :(

Endstiem

Oh for fuck's sake.

Wedge

So does this mean he'll be able to use an iPhone in the game on your iPhone and cause an infinite recursion scenario?

crackity jones

I'm actually excited for this as long as it's not too expensive I'll buy it

FakeplaceStudios

Considering a PS3 is actually cheaper than an iPhone and only slightly more expensive than an iPod, if I wanted to play new Metal Gear that badly, I'd just shell out the money for a PS3.

Noah

lame

ArrestedDeveloper

It's been confirmed by Konami now. Metal Gear Solid Touch, out Spring 2009. So saith the wise Alaundo

ParaParaKing

Another game with terrible touch controls. YAY!

gamadaya

Ok great. I guess we have to wait for Kojima to stop fucking around again before we get real games.

OMG I FUCKING CALLED THIS ONE.i feel like a million bucks and now i go to bed.

Timmeh

At least it doesn't look as retarded as the Silent Hill iPhone game. Nothing like bustin' a cap in a badly drawn Pyramid Head.

AgentMOO

Nah, you're all wrong!

Cataract

*looks to Ron*

TheGreatMango

LOL GAY!

Dexter345

In retrospect, that's pretty obvious. It's got the lowercase i and everything.
