In the past few days Hideo Kojima has been tweeting about a 10 part series of commercials he will be releasing for Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker. He was concerned that he wouldn't be able to show off the game correctly and that the PSP's limited graphical powers (compared to a console) would turn people away. On Friday the first ad popped up on Kojima Production's blog. If you check it out above I would say they did a pretty good job. Who knows what it says, but it sure looks good.
That's not the end of the story, however. It turns out that this ad was not supposed to go up yet, and Kojima is none to happy at his PR team that it did. He went back to tweet that he was plenty angry about the video getting out, saying, "Jiro (Kojipro PR) did it again. PW's 'teaser commercial' was getting around the net and I was in dismay. I looked for the origin and it ended up originating from our Kojipro blog. Jiro, are you out of your mind! I never gave you permission to upload this!"
Damn you, Jiro! Damn you to hell!

I'll most likely pick this up anyway, so I can be one step closer to owning all the Metal Gear games. I'll play it too, but I just can't help but wish this were on PS3.
Personally, I'm very much a "good enough" person. Once the Playstation 2 came along, the graphics were good enough that I could ignore them, and all graphical improvement would be wasted on me. Likewise, anything less than that and I can not ignore them, and the game becomes hard to play. I wonder what that thresh-hold is if you are a developer, because this game looks "good enough" for me.
did u play the demo for Peace Walker? I thought they nailed the controls compared to Portable Ops. That game's controls frustrated me to the point of quitting.
I agree with you in that a second stick is almost necessary.
take it back I don't want it
Yes, I played PW and PO, both of them have terrible controls. Everything is so inaccurate, from movement to shooting, it just really killed the experience for me. I'll agree they are better, but they are far from good.
I have a PSP but I'm not used to it... Can you play PSP games with a PS3 controller? Or port games from the PSP to the '3? Thought I heard something about it a while ago but I wasn't playing attention.
@ x1251: I got an A on my first playthrough of the Peace Walker demo. I probably shouldn't have played the demo before I played Portable Ops as I'm kind of forcing myself through that right now. But really, anyone who's wary of Peace Walker's controls has no reason to be and they're very customizable. Peace Walker is godly.
Silly japanese and their ancient chinese secret trailer leaks, tee hee.
