The fact that Snake in Metal Gear Solid is based of Snake Plissken from Escape From New York isn't exactly a close guarded secret It's a little trivia factoid that will from time to time come up on pub quizzes and the like But people have always wondered, how was this legally allowed to slide? Well,[...]

What a strange world the games industry can be. In news today, it was announced that Konami are incorporating insurance in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain to protect your FOB bases from getting their resources stolen That has been a big annoyance to a lot of players, who have not wanted any part of[...]

Sahelanthropus is one of my favourite things in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Not only is it is a huge mech with a rather phallic gun, but it was also fun to hear the voice actors stumble over its pronunciation each time it was talked about.  Hideo Kojima has been tweeting pictures of models for[...]

I know people can get weird about spoilers for every little thing in Metal Gear Solid V, so lets give you guys fair warning If you don't want to know what rewards you get for S ranking every story mission in the game, turn back. For everybody else? Cool We are still here. Yes, it turns out[...]

A lot has been made of Quiet's representation in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Her ludicrous outfit and the camera's fascination with her breasts has kept people debating since well before the game's actual release. No matter where you land on that discussion though, here is an alternative I think we can all get[...]

So, there spoilers for the end of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain here, so if you don't to know any of that, begone from this place. Right, everyone else still with me? Cool So if you have reached the end of Chapter 2 of the game, you will notice there is a pretty big[...]

Going into Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the only ideas of story I had were a few catch up videos going over the entirely convoluted narrative of the franchise So now having spent 30 hours with the game, as someone new to this series, how does it hold up? Well, I don't think it's[...]

Seeing how big Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain sells is going to be fascinating The series, while being a classic, has never seen humongous sales, but in a world where video games are at their most popular and marketing budgets are bigger than ever, perhaps we can see the game do serious bank. Here[...]

By Josh Hechinger Welcome to From Strip to Script, where I take a page of finished comic art and try to derive a script from it, to see what I can learn from the exercise. By the time you read this, I will already be playing the new Metal Gear Solid game Probably I have to replay[...]

Very few franchises have that kind of pedigree, and even fewer are defined by one director. Kojima is now supposedly stepped away from Metal Gear for good with today's Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain release To celebrate the series, the work of the man and the fans who love his games, Konami have released this[...]

It was a nice surprise when we found out that Metal Gear Solid V was being brought forward on PC The port was initially set for a September 15th release date, but has now seen a bump forward, meaning it will fall in line with tomorrow's universal platform release. This was at a cost to the[...]

I don't actually remember the last time I tried to install a game off of a disc myself. Having said that, I understand it's a useful tool for those who have slow internet, installing straight from the disc, and not through downloading the content over a network. Well, if you bought Metal Gear Solid V on PC[...]

Many games claim to be sandbox, open-world affairs, but Metal Gear Solid V does offer incredible freedom Yes, there are missions, but it is truly up to you how they are tackled When we have shown it to the press, the interesting thing is that they don't discuss just the missions or what they played, but[...]

Ever since Hideo Kojima and Konami have had their rift, the creator has more or less kept his mouth shut, instead keeping his head down to finish off Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The other day though, he gave the closest he has come yet to a statement on his intent going forward[...]

IT really does cement him as one of the true auteurs of the video game world. And here is a brand new one for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain The latest takes us down memory lane somewhat cutting together footage from the older game, before culminating in a rather huge scene with a rather[...]

What about those Metal Gear Solid V reviews, huh? If you hadn't noticed, several perfect scores have been flying towards the game in lieu of the embargo being up last night (our review will come at a later date) So lets put a downer on this party As GameSpot reports, it seems that Metal Gear Solid V has[...]

It's scary how close we are to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain In just 12 days we will be running through what promises to be an absolutely ginormous game. The PC version of the game has recently been brought forward too, now launching the same day as the console versions Unfortunately though, you won't[...]

I'm actually somewhat of a stranger to Metal Gear Solid I've played half of the first game, but beyond that, the games just never quite penetrated my playing habits when I was growing up And yes, I am terrified I'm not going to have the slightest idea what is happening in next month's Metal Gear[...]

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is going to be a huge game We have probably seen a couple hours of pre-release advertising, but in the grand scheme of things, we really don't know much of anything in the game The story is still a total mystery, and a lot of the mechanics are[...]

Konami have now reportedly spent over $80 million on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, thanks to delays and Kojima's detailed demands That is understandable and could be just another case of artist and business colliding Konami found a cheaper, more profitable way to make games and want to follow that That is their[...]

In all the pre-release material for Metal Gear Solid V, Snake has sported a red bionic arm This has been a pretty important part of the marketing thus far, and may be one of the most mascot-y type thing from the game this far (Diamond Dog a close second of course). But here is something interesting[...]

On the Xbox One, Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes will make up the triple AAA title of the month This is the prequel to the upcoming Phantom Pain, which comes out in September so it's perfectly timed too To round out the month, from August 16th and into September 15th, How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition[...]

The split between Konami and Hideo Kojima continues to be one of the big stories of the year in gaming. It has been splashed across websites since the

So this is interesting. A video has turned up online showing a secret mission in last years Metal Gear Solid: V Ground Zeroes that seems oddly prophetic The mission is called Deja Vu and has you dressed as Metal Gear Solid 1 Snake running around finding old Metal Gear Solid game logos As you aim at them, most[...]

Kojima clearly enjoys his position as an out there auteur and he is one of the few who really could demand such an authority over a single game. It seems that, at least where Konami is concerned, that won't be the case with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Since their secretive break up, Kojima's[...]

On his Twitter account (via Gematsu), he said: Kojima Productions was forced to disband, but it appears that the work that the team has been putting their utmost effort into is nearly complete. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I expect it will become their greatest masterpiece. But even if this is the end, Metal Gear Solid is immortal So[...]

During E3 we were treated to 40 minutes of play from Metal Gear solid 5: The Phantom Pain It gave us a hearty portion of what to expect from the game, which is to say, it looks a lot like more Ground Zeroes. One of the big things about the this game though is that there[...]

He is in just about everything, and even if you don't know him, if you've played more than a handful of games in the last few years, you will have come across one of his performances. He is going to be playing the role of Revolver Ocelot in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom[...]

For a game that is out in just a few months, I was surprised how little Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain crossed my focus during this year'ss E3 Maybe I just missed it, but the buzz seems a little subdued for such a big title Maybe that is down to the lack of a[...]

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain promises to be one of the very biggest games this year Despite the rift between Konami and Hideo Kojima, the game is going forward and we aren't far from its release. Surprisingly we didn't see it at any of the press conferences yesterday, but this new trailer put together[...]
