Release date: June 8 2010 (US), April 28 (Japan)
I just watched this show on NHK which chose to dedicate an entire episode to the game. In it, they interviewed Kojima and a Sony executive about the decision to release the game for PSP, and other things such as new features in the series and how the MONSTER HUNTER tie-in came about.
I think most of you guys who have been following the game know about it already, but for those of you that don't, MGS: PW allows Snake to hunt MH monsters in an MGP2G setting It's a bit unfair though because he has guns.
A few of the interesting things Kojima says are:
- Future of gaming will be in cloud computing, and not high end graphics intensive consoles
- PSP platform was chosen to attract younger gamers who aren't familiar with the MGS series
- He wanted to experiment with Co-op play
It was also funny watching the Sony executive they interviewed. Basically, all he said was that the relationship between Kojima and Sony is extremely important and at the moment, Kojima can do whatever he wants and that Sony will support him all the way~! As expected.
So there. Looking forward to this game a lot.
Anyone else getting it?
