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.

@todd_360 @mrd0nlov3 @Foppe Yeah! I just remembered MGS1 and 2 also came out on PC, so that would make mgs4 the only exclusive PS title, wow.

@mrd0nlov3 @Foppe Except it wasn't? MGS2: Substance came out for the original Xbox. Then more recently the HD collection came out on 360. At present the only exclusive MGS title is 4. It was strongly associated with Playstation yes but I wouldn't consider it as losing a big exclusive franchise.

@Axile11 @Ibra8 As long as they don't use uncompressed audio like in mgs4, probably 2 or 3.

@fredyellowone At the end of MGSV they may introduce a young solid snake voiced by Hayter. That would be the best way of bridging the entire series together to feel more coherent. Hell, even if it's just a quick scene where we see liquid and Solid as young soldiers that would be awesome.

Probably a post credits audio thing in 1990s with Master training recruits, and giving them there codenames, then he tells a recruit named David his codename, Solid Snake?

@fredyellowone Check your nearest cardboard box
Stupid puns aside, I am now for whatever reason thoroughly convinced that the two kids in the trailer are Liquid and Solid. I guess we'll find out for sure, but my thing is that eventually, they'll redo Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid Snake.

@Neomaniac15 @fredyellowone which two kids? you don't mean Eli and Chico...

Eli is most likely Liquid but Chico IS NOT Solid.

@Neomaniac15 @Super_Tramp i wouldn't put too much stock on the wiki. since they like to add history to characters that kojima himself never confirmed. anyway, i announced my predictions.. i'll have to bookmark this page so i can do the 'i told you so' to everyone over at gamefaqs when/if they come true.

@Super_Tramp @Neomaniac15 Well a "Ghost without a Past" is going to have a lot of ambiguity to them. As far as Kojima confirming that, I missed it. But it's on the wiki very matter of fact-like so i'll take it.

@Neomaniac15 @Super_Tramp true, theories are great. i just like to correct people when i'm almost 100% positive otherwise. As for Kojima saying Chico was that boy.. yes, he confirmed. I don't have a link for you but if you don't believe me google it. you'll find it eventually.

Yes, that is definitely Psycho Mantis as a child but as for giving you a reason why his father would be commanding a platoon of troops against Big Boss.. I can't think of one that a consensus would agree on.

@Super_Tramp @Neomaniac15 No, of course, and I pretty much agree, I had forgotten Code Talker but that does make sense. Did you see that like two second part in the trailer? Kid with a gas mask? Mantis?

This is what we do right? Come up with theories. We're fans, we love the game, we want to know as much as we can.

@Neomaniac15 the lighting kinda doesn't help with chico's scar but if you watch the new extended trailer you will see Chico helping Big Boss hold down Paz during the surgery.. you can see the scar then.

As for Quiet, I think she is definitely related to Sniper Wolf. Huey is Hal's father. Code Talker is a navajo.. i don't think we can put up links but google code talker.. it will explain the relation with Navajo. Therefore I believe Code talker to be father/grandfather of Vulcan Raven. Skull Face is completely burned.. this could be Psycho Mantis father.. who was said to be burned to death when mantis was a child. <that one is a little far fetched.

am i missing anyone? these are my theories but they aren't without merit.

@Super_Tramp @Neomaniac15 @fredyellowone If you read the Wiki, Quiet might actually be Wolf. I've got nothing on Skull Face, Huey is definitely Hal's father. What scar? I just pulled up the wiki to make sure, and there's no scar on the character model. Does he get this at some point in Peace Walker?
Edit: I see it on the comic book representation, but the full 3D model seems to have it missing. I also don't see it on the kid in the trailer
Second Edit: the Wiki does seem to believe that this is indeed Chico, but I just don't see how that can be known for sure before we either see a factual statement from Kojima or we hear the child referred to as such in the game.

@Neomaniac15 @Super_Tramp @fredyellowone we know it is chico because he has the cross scar on is right cheek.

MG is an operation that is handled by Foxhound. Foxhounds commander at that time is Big Boss. Solid Snake is a member of Foxhound. I believe he was a new-ish recruit.

Sins of the father could mean a lot but I think most of these character Code talker, Quiet, Huey, Skull Face... are all parents to MGS1 characters.

@Super_Tramp @Neomaniac15 @fredyellowone We have NO idea if that's actually Chico or not, like I said we'll find out for sure. He sure doesn't look like Chico, Chico's blonde if I remember right. And then there's the fact that the song that plays in the trailer is called "Sins of the Father". There's also the fact that in Metal Gear, your "Colonel Campbell" character is Big Boss, with the player playing Snake. Snake obviously knew him beforehand to be working with him.

I'm buying this game for PS4 regardless, but I want to see what it can look like on PC. And there's a really good possibility of that happening after they release Phantom Pain, and work out all the kinks if need be. Super excited for this game.
