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.

I hope Kojima can score the unthinkable, to make a game that's better than MGS4. I really do.

MGS4 is the best game in history, the presentation ,the story, the actions and a level of polishing other games can only dream of. It was the one perfect game. The only one. So far.

@laylax MGS4 was great but i'd take MGS1 over it. I'd like a game that isn't centered on BB, again. I'm excited though. I'd love a Liquid Snake game (and i'm not talking about the idiotic Liquid Ocelot).

I'm stuck on getting it on PS3 or 4 because i never buy systems at launch. Ugh...

Kojima you be lying.

So this trailer was current-gen?

Yeah okay and the GTA V screens aren't touched up. If this games does look this good on current consoles the frame rate will be negative and you will be watching a slideshow with constant pop ins.

@cavs25 Notice the careful choice of words like "more tuned to current generation", it basically means that this a PC build that will be scaled down to ps3/360 and scaled up to ps4/x1/high end pc.

MGS 4 was a full year late for ps3. But we'll worth the wait. So I'd say take the time and make it damn good.

I don't like the new voice for Snake(nothing like Hayter saying "KAZ!"), but this game looks incredible. looks like one of the only games worth playing of this gen.

@atakan5 Uhh...sorry but most of the main MGS games were never on PC....you guys may get a MGS: Revengeance sequel or another MGS spin-off of some sort but PC fans aren't true MGS fans...and you won't even get the story if you directly jump into Phantom Pain..

@MateykoSlam Solid Snake was 12 years old during the 2nd part of Metal gear Solid 5 which takes place in 1984. Solid Snake was born in 1972. So what you are saying about Snake being in his 20s' will not happen in this game.

@Ladiesman17 @HiroArka @Dredcrumb9 @MateykoSlam I believe his accelerated aging was in fact due to planned and altered genes during his cloning stage... if I remember correctly, they did it as a defense mechanism to stop other people cloning them further, but that bit may be wrong.

@HiroArka @Dredcrumb9 @MateykoSlam That only happened around the time of MGS 2.

Up to that point, his aging was normal.

Why did hideo kojima show off metal gear solid 5 on Xbox one and not PS4?, I'm fine with MGS5 coming to Xbox, but, MGS Games have been more of a playstation title than any other gaming device. Did hideo kojima just decide to screw playstation?

Well Microsoft was paying publishers money to not show they games on PS4 at E3. So maybe that has something to do with it.

@bluebird08 "Once we start going into development for next-generation we're definitely looking for something better than [what] we have shown today," concluded Kojima.

It never ran on Xbox One! It was a trailer. Read the article!

The trailer was prepared on their PC based work station , it's only a video clip , not the actual program. No way a prototype in development can make it to the actual consoles (x1 and ps4) this early.

On a work station, everything is possible as long as the engine can handle the work load. They can even apply uncompressed full resolution multi textures if they're in the mood.

It is not possible. MGS 5 for me was one of the most visually appealing games at E3. If this was current gen then everything is a lie.

The horse section looked a lot like red dead redemption, but with silly horse stealth. This game is totally different from the other MGS games and im still a bit skeptical about it. I just hope it comes to PC so I don't have to pay for essentially another graphics card that can be connected directly to my monitor without the pc. that in my mind is what a console is.

My only hope is that both current and next gen. versions of the game come out at the same time. I'm not sure I could wait around for the (hopefully) superior version.

@JamesJoule I think we might just see a PC version seeing as the next gen consoles are PC based it would not take much work to port it to PC. Doing so would probably increase sales a bit seeing as most people with PCs would go for the PC version including those who game PC only.
