Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will utilize Vocaloid photo

If you love all things Metal Gear Solid like my good buddy Rey here at the office, I'm assuming you want to get your hands on Peace Walker. Kojima says it'll make you buy a PSP, due to some surprise feature that's yet to be revealed. And now Famitsu reports (Via Joystiq) that the game will also feature a little something very popular in Japan: Yamaha's Vocaloid software. Yep, the same one that made virtual idol Hatsune Miku's (not to mention her PSP game Project Diva) a runway success. 

We can't be 100 percent sure on this just yet, but it's implied that the software will be used to allow in-game weapons to make sounds. Like singing. Not the first time a weapon has made a sound in a game, for sure, but if you're familiar with the general sound of vocaloid software, it does seem like a bit of an odd choice. Maybe they'll do something to make it sound super tough. Who knows.

Another reason for me to get the game *^^*. There better be a Hatsune Miku cameo or a few(think like the Akina stuff in MGS4).

Much like playing a MGS game I find myself thinking "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?" But also like playing an MGS game I find myself completely unmotivated to find out.

Portable Ops made me buy a PSP. This is one of those games that doesn't even need marketing.
