Metal Gear Solid V on Xbox One and PS4 will look better than E3 trailer

The Metal Gear Solid V E3 2013 trailer was "more tuned to current generation," says Kojima.

292 Comments

The final version of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will have better visuals than the trailer shown at the start of Microsoft's E3 2013 press conference, game director and series creator Hideo Kojima has said.

No Caption Provided

In an interview with Polygon, Kojima says that the team is currently focusing around the Fox engine on a PC development platform, but with the 360 and PS3 in mind. "While we were developing on current-gen," says Kojima, "next-gen came along. We're really trying to reach the peak of the current generation right now--360, PS3--and then see how much we can take it up for the next generation."

The trailer shown at Microsoft's E3 2013 press conference was "more tuned to current generation" models and textures, according to Kojima.

"Once we start going into development for next-generation we're definitely looking for something better than [what] we have shown today," concluded Kojima.

Support for mobile and tablet features will also be included in Metal Gear Solid V. "I feel that [using] multiple devices, tablets, and smartphones and how to interact with it socially is a big step forward," said Kojima.

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain were formally confirmed this week at E3 2013.

New Metal Gear can go away, that game is nothing more than an reboot. Its the same old shit! I rather play Splinter Cell because it atleast they keep it fresh. There will never be another Metal Gear like the Old games.

@OzmaHD I could not disagree with you more. MGS1, 2, 3, and 4 all felt innovative and different. Splinter Cell has always been a shallow series that follows the typical "Good guys vs terrorists" script, while the MGS games challenge the player with deeper questions. MGS makes players ask themselves, Who or what is an enemy? Who is the real terrorist? What is the true meaning of war?

@OzmaHD What so you want something fresh, but still want the old games?? You make no sense. This is Metal Gear that is Open world!!! That is the greatest combination ever! If you want the old games, buy the collection and go play the old games.

I don't think that can actually be true. I have spent 3 hours playing Last Of Us, while the game looks absolutely beautiful, it was behind what was shown in that trailer...

Why are so many people so shocked it was running on current gen specs? Arkham , Gears, Uncharted , and even MGS4 all still look impressive. This gen is still going hard graphically, which means next gen will look mindblowing

@vickissv2 I can't imagine what the graphics and features will be like in next gen games 4 years from now when they have had more time to learn the ins and outs of each console. Mind blowing is a great bar to strive for!

@vickissv2 Agreed...There are still plenty of PS3 games coming out that are going to look great and mind blowing as well. The PS3 is still going strong and I hope it will continue to for quite a bit longer for the people that don't have enough money to dish out 400+ dollars for a new gaming system. I'm completely happy with the PS3 right now...have been for the past 6 years. Graphics are still mind blowing. With GTA 5, GT6, The Last Of Us, Watchdogs, Beyond 2 Souls, and Battlefront 3...It's still great to be a gamer!! That's 6 new games I want to play...4 of them are coming out later this year and Last Of Us comes out tomorrow...Super excited!!

So the PC, a superior platform in every sense of the word...gets current gen technology while the new consoles get something new. What a joke.

@Gimpy2k7 Stop whining and just get a console. Restricting yourself to only PC games is only going to make you a jealous scrub who makes an online petition everytime a good console game doesn't come to PC.

@freshprinceali @Enforcer246 @Gimpy2k7

Buy a console then you have to buy dispose the whole unit when a new console arrives or if a part of it got busted (the repairs of console is very expensive, almost like buying a new one)

The reason why PC is much better than console is you can just change individual parts when you wanted to upgrade or some parts are damaged which is not the case for console and you can do more in PC than what consoles can offer.

I need to go back and play MGS4 again because if this is true then he really sucked every graphical drop out of these systems.

I think this could be said of many of the games shown at E3. Some were/are clearly unfinished graphically and gameplay-wise (as is quite often the case at these kinds of shows). I did, however, enjoy watching Ellen Page knockout a guy by punching him in the foot during some of the Beyond Two Souls footage :P

@GunEye It is coming to PC but after the PS4/X1 versions.

Very sad that games are developed on the PC but not released on it or released late to make people give in and buy consoles.

I know that most people just look at the upfront cost and say OMG PC gaming is so expensive; but the truth is that the GAMES themselves are far, far cheaper..

For e.g. I just bought Witcher 1 + Witcher 2 for $12.50; last week I got Saints Row 3 + all DLC for $7.50...

Nope, it's being developed on PC based work stations just like most if not all console games but it's not coming to PC, guess konami abandoned the idea after the few not very profitable PC ports (MGS1/2).

Thank god it's coming on next gen too. I don't have to fry my old poor PS3, instead I get to play it on my new shiny nice PS4. Only thing better would on PC or even keyboard + mouse support of course.

Well, ps3 is one fine blu ray player,one of the best--- fast load times ,silent disc drive and wifi / web capable, that's what I told my wife 7 years ago.

I'm running out of excuses for ps4 tho... But box1 won't be a problem, she'll be amazed by how many things a cable box can accomplish,and it even plays games on demand!

Everything about this game is looking awesome. That "Kaz... I'm already a demon." line at the end even sold me on Kiefer Sutherland's voice for Big Boss- he sounded so somber and I'll bet he'll do a great job in the full game.

This is obviously running on high end pc. Will not look this good on xbox 360 for sure. They will have to scale it down.

MGS4 can be played stealthy, one can even finish the game without triggering any alarms and killing any enemy but , but you can go guns blazing as well, and yet you'll still feel perfectly at home. A game so flexible that everyone can pick their own paths.

That's where MGS4 really shined. It'll never say 'ooh no no, you did it wrong, you're supposed to do this'
