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.

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.

Better? The visuals were already stunning. At this rate, they'll be better than real life 'cause real life needs a visual update. :D

In Kojima we trust...



To get mindfucked as always.

Seriously, I love everything this man says. He could probably convince me that we're actually living in the Matrix. I'll believe him.

wow those graphics were amazing in the trailer and it wasnt even the FoxEngines true potential :O still sad that Kojima didnt announce it for the PC as well thou :( I bet it would look even better on the PC best example is BF3 where the PC version outclasse the console versions, lets just hope Kojima will recognize the potential of the PC market as well.

What the hell?! I thought it was already one of the best looking games of the show. How the heck is that current gen? I was planning on the PS4 version any way. To think that's somehow supposed to look even better...

@H4rgen In all fairness, MGS is pretty ludicrous to begin with. :)

@Liquid-San @H4rgen I know mate, and I love it for all the crazy stuff, but is funny how he put on the trailer all about the stealth, and the snake is faling close to a enemy with a rifle on...LOL

But as I said, this is a must have.

So if they're using a PC development platform, does that mean there's hope for a PC release?

@Neomaniac15 Nothing against PC, but I don't get why PC gamers insist on holding out hope that every major games comes out on PC instead of just getting a console as backup and not having to worry about it. In today's gaming age, you have to assume games either won't come out at all on PC or it will come out way later.

@Pirate700 @Neomaniac15 Funnily enough, I can't afford console gaming... true my kickass PC cost me $1500; but I buy ALL games at $20, not a penny more, and I buy 2-3 games a month,

So I save $80-$120 per month or $960-$1440 a year by gaming on the PC; and I have not even counted all the DLC I do not buy because I just wait for the steam sales that include em all with the game ;)

If I do buy a console it will just gather dust as I won't buy anything for it besides these 1-2 'exclusive' games... so instead I hope these games come to me, the patient PC gamer :)

And in fact 90% of all console games come out on the PC too at the same time ;)

@Pirate700 @Neomaniac15 All I want is to not have to put down money on a new console at this point, i'm just not ready. For Metal Gear, I'll do it. I'd rather not, but i'll do it. And to clarify i'm not an any kind of platform gamer. I'm just a gamer. I play the games. Not the platforms.

@Neomaniac15 @MAD_AI @Pirate700 because I already pay money for the internet provider and because multiplayer is much better on the PC and I hate playing FPS games like Halo and Killzone with a gamepad and there are far more reasons but those put me off the Xbox 360 for sure.

@Pirate700 @Neomaniac15 No. Some experiences are only capable on a PC. I don't think games like League of Legends or World of Warcraft would even do well on a console where you're confined to the number of buttons on a modern controller. No, all platforms have unique experiences that can only be gotten by buying those platforms. Which I aim to do. Well...Xbox 1 i might wait a REALLY long time for but you get my point.

What if he wants to play Wasteland 2. Star Citizen, Total War, StarCraft 2, Arma 3 or Project Eternity etc...?

If he has the money, then getting a PC and a console would actually mean getting all the games.

@Neomaniac15 If you're just a gamer, then consoles are the way to go because you'll always get the games.

He said in another interview it was something they're going to do eventually but not a top priority. So it might end up like MGR.

@MAD_AI @Neomaniac15 One can only hope. This gen will probably have a lot of never before seen titles hitting PC, (FF XV and KH3), hopefully since of the PC development used in them. In fact, I'm hoping not to even go next gen if this happens.

@MissionCreep If that's the case then I see no reason to call attention to it. Which is why I asked to begin with. "Just so you know, we're doing what everyone's been doing for some time now. K? K."

@MissionCreep @Liquid-San @MAD_AI @Neomaniac15

Yes there has, we've moved away from developing PPC (360 and PS3) architecture first then porting it to x86 (PC) later if the devs felt like it, to developing solely on x86-64 (PC and next gen consoles). So it all boils down to exclusivity contracts in my opinion.

PC is always used to develop games. There has been no change in development process.

@Liquid-San @MAD_AI @Neomaniac15 That's exactly my plan. If I can get MGS5 and Destiny on PC I'm holding off on a new console for the forseeable future.

@Liquid-San @MAD_AI @Neomaniac15 Shit, who am I kidding, i'm not waiting. I've been playing Metal Gear Solid since I was about seven or eight (when did MGS1 come out? Go about 3 months after that), I'm not waiting for a port. I don't like the idea of slapping down $400 for it, but I guess I can put all my eggs in one basket, buying Destiny as well as other games for the platform.

@Double-Ego @corrus No it wasn't. MGS4 appeared at around a year after the PS3 came out.

@Neomaniac15 @Double-Ego @corrus Thought it was a launch game, my bad. But that still doesn't negate the fact that MGS4 looked amazing very early in the PS3's life cycle.
