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.

i ould never think of using any ps3 exclusive to defend ps3 has i had a xbox 360 its entire life span but unfortunatly for you this gen is different .the ps4 is indeed 30-35 percent more powerful and this time they are a piece of cake to program for so no struggling to get the best out of them both sadly for you that is. at the end of the day it doesnt matter what i or u say just wait for launch and see all the 3rd party youtube 1080p video comparisons that we will see no doubt

@hairdie then again when it comes to comparison games like COD will not count in my book because my friend has a 360 and that games looks and sounds better than on ps3 but that's mainly because they are being BYASS as ever and doing more than what the contract requires them to do

I read that all the Xbox games aren't played with xbox dev kits, but the ps4s were. furthermore, xbone was using Nvidia on high-end PCS. They weren't even using xbox's new AMD chips. Like seriously?? Now i'm really not surprised that the E3 xbox trailers aren't going to look like next gen. lol

Of course it's going to look better, the so-called "sky box" is not finished in the trailer.

They runined the game by 50% by not having David Hayter as voice of Snake.. Makes no sense, why did he have his voice in Snake Eater? And how come the *** version of this game has the same voice actor who performes Snake? But HELL NO we Europeans/Americans get's our beloved Snake =(

@TheZinoxy yup so Metal Gear has only and always been about the voices it makes me sick to hear you say that YES his VOICE is cool but if you couldnt have played the *** DUB and fall in love with MGS and then lose respect over VOICE and not even understand Kojima's reasoning for it then I cannot even bare to read your reply because you have not been fully enjoying METAL GEAR SOLID you've been enjoying a voice

@TheZinoxy Yes, they ruined the game by getting an established actor, someone who's been doing things like this for more than 25 years. Dude, Sutherland will impress, trust me. Also, I find it kind of weird that David Hayter was at E3 when he's not involved in the game and not a member of the press...

@Biggs613 @TheZinoxy I'm convinced Kojima is trolling us about Hayter. Keifer Sutherland will be awesome in whatever roll he is playing, I'm sure. If he is Snake, he is Snake.

I feel like Cartman waiting for the Ninentdo Wii with this new MGS. OMG OMG OMG!!!

@TheZinoxy ... stop whining... If you think the 50% of the game is ruined just cause Hayter isn't in it, then don't buy it.

@UrbanMessiah not nonsense. The MGS universe very much symbolizes parallels to real life. The "patriots" or the "Phillosiphers" are the same as the real world Illuminati. MGS games cover many real life issues that would seem like science fiction to many, but are in fact based in reality.

The article mentions support for tablets and smartphones. I wonder how using these will affect gameplay? Not that I'm gonna use these anyway.

Had to slap myself in the face to see if I was awake when I read this was running on current gen. I still don't believe it. MGS 5 running full spec on nex-gen is going to be insane.

@atakan5 @Navardo95 Ok I see but thats why I said *most* of the MGS games as I know two of them were released on PC....with all the platforms confirmed there is still no PC announced but time will tell...though I feel its highly unlikely..

@rIVAL_sWORD84 @gruoch1 If you really think about it, no, it's not a true "exclusive". Original MGS was ported to Gamecube, original Metal Gear started on MSX and Nintendo, XBox had MGS2, Snake Eater, Peacewalker as well as MG and MG2, so really, the only real exclusive Sony had was MGS4.

@Biggs613 @rIVAL_sWORD84 @gruoch1 Wasn't the original version of MGS (not Twin Snakes) ported to Sega at one point? Was it a Japanese release or a mod for Sega CD? I remember seeing something back in the day...

"Fox engine on a PC development platform, but with the 360 and PS3 in mind."

The impossible might just be accomplished.
