I've been silent raging for a while since Metal Gear Peace Walker was sold as 'the next really Metal Gear'. This Kotaku story however is too much. I understand that you don't want to spend another 4 years making another real MGS game. You've spent the last decade constantly pushing the visual bar for console games, now you expect that people will take this game serious because it's going to be a sweet looking PSP game? Ridiculous.
The MGS games have been a love it or hate it series since MGS2, many people (including myself) have had a really hard time dealing with the crazy, self important story. Others have problems with the odd control schemes used to play your 'stealth games'. Regardless of these issues and complaints many people push through for the amazing cinematics and top tier production values.
So what are you trying to offer people this time? Even less intuitive controls, even for your core fans? Laughable graphics, somehow we should be impressed because they are on a handheld? So I guess all that leaves is more off the wall, cringe-worthy 'story' that I can hold in my hand... I can't imagine who this game is for, other than like I said at the beginning, Kojima himself, because he doesn't have it in him right now to do another real MGS game.
I'll pass, again. Please stop trying to sell it so hard.
