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.

@Metronoid Why would we think it's next-gen when he literally states, that it's current gen?

@MateykoSlam @Metronoid @KemistiOMg I'll have to agree with Metronoid here. I played Far Cry 3 on 360 and I recently bought a killer gaming PC. The game is totally different now, in a better way.

Although MGS5 looks better than Far Cry 3, probably because i love big boss so freaking much lol :D

@uksens The games will be made on PC hardware and will be ported left and right as console version.
I dont expect any differences.
Only the inhouse exclusives will use specific advantages of each console..

@sladakrobot @uksens Actually multi-plat games will be mostly made with XBone in mind as its the weakest of the 3 plats but there is also a strong possibility that there will be a tie with the PS4 and One this time...some may use PS4 as the lead platform ...

It always was like this with most multi-plat games in all console cycles..

@sladakrobot @uksens pc version will be top then they will scale down (not by much initially ) to first ps4 then down to xbox one..look if people have a problem with excepting that xbox one has less horse power that ps4 TOUGH!!! get over it!!! all third party games will be better on ps4 by how much is dending on them but at the very least more AA and anisotropic filtering will be added to use up the extra horse power has this takes zero effort .

@hairdie @sladakrobot @uksens True true; and its not a small factor; the PS4 is 50% more powerful in raw horsepower and has 76% more memory bandwidth than the X1

In multiplatform titles the biggest difference is going to be in frame-rate; the X1 will struggle to keep 30/60 (depending on the dev's choice), while the PS4 will do so easily.

Personally I am a PC gamer; but if I had to buy a console, it would be the PS4, and that was before the DRM shit that MS pulled and wayyyy before they decided to ignore Asia (and India) altogether lolz..

@mantano68 @hairdie @sladakrobot @uksens The butthurt and fanboyism is strong in this one...best of luck in living in your world of denial and trying to convince yourself that the PS4 is weaker than the One to make yourself feel better.

@uksens Don´t care, Xbone is already the winner with the hologram projector, and the graphics will stay , using 1tflop as base for the 2.

I want to clearify what a exclusive game means to playstation fans:
"I dont care on how much plattforms this game will appear as long its not on a Microsoft console."

ok then i gota few questions...

..... the current generation version ps3/360 of the game will be release it at the same time as the next generation ( one/ps4 )? , but the one/ps4 version will be better that the current generation console version?...... so whats the point on release it on the current consoles?, better focus all the money and resources to improve the one/ps4 version, or its because of the no backwards compatibility?.........and yes i wonder how many discs it will be on the 360 version if LA Noire are 3 discs... i think maybe 4....

@EDX1 Because its already in development, you don't just stop working on it because new consoles are coming. Also not everyone will get a new console on day one. I plan on waiting a bit myself, my PS3 is still good enough for now and there are lots of games coming. Last of Us, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, MGS:V, GTA:V, Batman: Arkham Origins, just to name a few.

@EDX1 The game costs pretty much and the installbase of current consoles is around 150 millions.
The game will sell much less on new consoles due low instalbase there.

@sladakrobot @EDX1 IF I remember right the reason MGS4 took up so much space was the uncompressed audio, maybe that will factor in?
