Konami has published a Q&A session with Metal Gear Solid series creator Hideo Kojima, head of Kojima Productions, revealing new info on Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the PSP exclusive set for release in 2010.
“I actually had the plan for this project in mind while working on Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops,” said Kojima. “Back then, I intended to place the project in the hands of the next generation of creators at Kojima Productions. However, in the end, I felt that it was still a little too early to leave it completely in their hands, so I decided to take the reins.”
With the main man at the helm we can expect a fully-fledged Metal Gear Solid experience, one that should be considered in the same light as Metal Gear Solid 5 would be.
“This game is an MGS5-class game,” Kojima explained. “I am supervising, designing, producing, directing, and editing this title together with the MGS4 team. Therefore in that sense, “Metal Gear Solild” has not ended, and the “Metal gear saga” continues.”
He added: “In regards to the quality of the game, the main staff of MGS4 are producing it. They are aiming for PS3 quality because they were creating MGS4 on the PS3 not too long ago. In reality it is hard to maintain the same quality as the PS3 but we strive for it and we are expressing this in ways only we can express it in.”
While Kojima says he can’t reveal all that much info on the title, he did say that the team is “implementing features that can only be realised on the PSP platform”, features he says everyone should look forward to. Box fans are also in for a treat – Kojima says the game will feature a variety of different cardboard boxes.
You’ll also be able to customise Snake according to your preferences and determine what kind of soldier you will be prior to embarking on a mission. There’s heavy gear configurations that make a lot of noise, but that allow you to equip numerous weapons. Or, there are other configurations that won’t allow you to carry many weapons, but will make Snake lighter on his feet. The game will also incorporate a growth feature, which will see the player’s character evolve.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is scheduled for release in 2010 only for PSP.
