You have made a big Kojima Productions fan very happy. I was probably one of a few people in America who bought the original Zone of the Enders for something other than the included Metal Gear Solid 2 demo. I like how you continued this trend by including the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance demo in the ZOE HD Collection however. If it wasn't for ZOE,I may have never come to enjoy Metal Gear as a franchise. A human skull on an orbital frame,yes please.

Also as a fan of Raiden when he wasn't as popular,I appreciate how you continue to make him a character that more people respect and enjoy. It must be because I started with Metal Gear Solid 2 and not Metal Gear Solid. It was probably also due to Raiden being a character through most of the game. As a fan of games like Ninja Gaiden, Onimusha and others,the idea of a hack and slash Metal Gear is not odd to me,although others may disagree.

Thank you for everything and keep it up.

Delayed again? And talk about the "big news" announced at E3, what big news?! As far as I'm concerned, I prepared myself for a massive announcement that would have shocked me (as you bigged it up so much), and all we know now that we didn't before is that Rising is delayed.

wow I really loved the RISING E3 trailer, and for dome reason raiden looks cooler on his MGS4 armor (i didn't liked it on MGS4), can I play the game whit that look in my second run, that might be cool instead of black raiden.
also i heard that you are going to release a MG25th anniv disc, I know releasing it on the west might be to risky for you, but can we expect at least an itunes version for non-japan territories? and if you do please do not mutilate some tracks like you did on the 20th anniv, looking at that mgs3 main theme track still makes me angry and sad at the same time.

I am excited, but what about all of the reveals you guys said you had. You only "revealed" Rising and talked for ZOE3... you said you guys had a bunch of news and cool things coming up for E3 and only one game that only part of your studio is working on was revealed. This E3 I won't lie, was kind of disappointing and I still don't know how to get Peace Walker on my Vita because I have the UMD...

E3 was disappointing all around. No new true Metal Gear (I don't give two craps about Rising and it's game breaking canon), No info on Hideo's new game, boring conferences from the big 3, no good japan games being revealed... I almost wanted to stop gaming completly. Also I hope to god Rising isn't what you guys are releasing for the 25th anniversary... that's not how a true fan wants to celebrate. A new MG, A remake of MG1, 2, or MGS1, hell I'd even take a substance of MGS4 with new features since MGO is dying... and I hated MGS4! Don't let me down KP, Rising ain't for me, and it's not even the game you guys are developing! Stop only putting your cards into it!

Sorry for the complaining, it's just hard to know what the company is doing when they said there is a bunch of stuff for E3 and other promises and it then it doesn't happen. Even then though you guys are pretty secretive about what you do on a dailty basis. Maybe if the podcast team explained more about your certain jobs I wouldn't feel so high and dry on what's going on thanks! podcast is awesome!

Why did you return the Lightning on Raiden's body? On the Pre-E3 trailer you already removed it. It only happens on certain situations like Ninja Mode or after Zandatsu. Raiden looked very cool. But on the Demo in E3 it's always there. It looks ugly.

BTW, what's the use of Raiden's Face Mask? It doesn't even close on the Demo.

Excellent

When will we have our guest star on the podcast?

How come Kojima did not present Rising or any new game during Sony or MS press conference. I was very dissapointed because you guys have been saying that big announcements were going to made at E3.

Hey guys just wanted to tell you guys great job on the podcast! Question: Any chance we'll see the Gamecube version of MGS1 (Twin Snakes) ported in HD? It's a great version with awesome action cutscenes. Maybe on the WiiU? Thanks.

P.S.: I was fortunate enough to meet Shinkawa and Kojima @ UNIQLO 5th Ave. NYC where they signed my iPad. I've actually met Mr. Kojima before during MGS:PW tour 2010 and he signed my copy of MGS1. Here's some of my collection (I got more stuff).

Mgo? MGO!?!??! MGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why doesn't Konami stop being jerks and just sell the online rights to PSN so they can put MGO on those servers a lot of people play it especially me! Anyway, looking forward to news on games you guys are working on. Why do you guys have to be so secretive, can you at LEAST say how many projects and/or games you are working on, PLEASE stop being so secretive, you don't have to show gameplay and trailers but at LEAST let us know what you are working on. Everytime you guys announce a game, it takes 3-4 years until it finally releases. LOL! Anyway still love the podcast, keeps me going at my desk job.

Any news on MGO3? I'm proud that I was there from the MGO beta all the way through its last hours. I am a long time MGS fan and can honestly say I spent more time in MGO than all the MGS games combined. MGO is the only multi player online game I play and I would like to thank the developers and content creators for all the fun I've had. Just wanted to know if an MGO3 is coming with MGR or if one is planned for MGS5. I know thats a long way off but I have to know "something" is in the works.

Well Metal Gear Online has officially gone offline. It is the morning of June 12, 2012. Exactly 4 years since MGS4 and MGO hit the shelves. Metal Gear Online was a great experience, I met lots of cool people and was in the same clan for the majority of MGO's life span. All of them are pretty much on my PSN friends list and we along with most of the "MGO2" community await a possibly "MGO3".

Please leave a feedback page for "MGO2" and what the people thought of about its service and what could be changed for possible new MGO. There is a vocal community on who think and know what MGO2 could have had fixed or done better. All in all, thank you Koji Pro for a unique online gaming experience.

Even though i only played MGO occasionally, its still sad to see it go (not as much as MGO1 mind you, loved it to bits). My ps3s blu ray drive died a week ago so I didn't get to have one last hurrah like i did on MGO1...I still remember that final match.
Anyways...about that pic of Raiden above, from the trailer. Thats his MGS4 cyborg body, yet where is his cybernettic bottom jaw?......o_O

I don't understand.

Fair enough that we got to have a sneak peak for Rising... however, why is it that everytime Kojima or anyone from Kojima productions say something, they always hype it up.... and afterwards they end up showing us just one thing.

Rising looks cool, but I'm afraid you guy sneed to do more... I mean look at Ubisoft, they releasing Assassins Creed games every year...whereas we get a new mgs every 2-3 years...

I didn't hear any big news this e3...

Still waiting on what Project orge or MGS5 will be...that's the only importance!

My one regret is never getting to play MGO. I think I've posted that once before. i didn't grow up with MGS like most fans. The first game i played was actually peace walker. At the time i only had a psp and i knew almost nothing about video games. so i had saved up about 40-50 bucks from my 5 dollar a week allowance. A poor choice in games would mean that i'd be stuck with it, and considering GameStop's refund polocies.....lets just say i wanted to make a good choice. I checked online for for some decent game reviews and found that peace walker had been released about a month earlier. it had gotten some pretty good reviews, so i bought it. I thought it was gonna be a regular war game. imagine my shock when the Pupa AI came charging at me at 100mph...it literally shocked me. I spent the whole night playing it. I fell in love with the story. i loved playing as Big Boss...leading an entire army and battling giant walking nuclear tanks. but what I really loved most was the sneaking.
i swear the first time a guard came to investigate my cardboard box, my heart stopped. i was hooked. i borrowed portable ops from my friend, i saved up for ever to get my own PlayStation 3 and a copy of MGS4. i nearly barfed rainbows when i heard about the hd collection. That i would have a chance to play 2 of the most awesome-ist games ever...AT THE SAME TIME! the point is i LOVE metal gear.... i always will. and it pains me to see a game like MGR get shunned by it's most "loyal" fans. what i hate most is when people say "hey it's not 'metal gear' guys..." when it so very clearly is. and even if it's not (it is) THE GAME LOOKS FUN. isn't that
what's most important?....

-questions

-is there any chance you're planning to surprise us with an MGO3?

-if not, will MGR have any kind of online?

-is there any news on Project Ogre?
i'd like to here more about that

-when will the ZOE HDc be released?

-did you ever consider an online co-op mode in Rising? you could have Raiden and his Rival ('Sam', right?)
fighting off hoards of zombies ...
and at the 50th wave the zombies can all dance to Micheal Jackson's 'Thriller'....or something?

you probably wont answer half (or any) of these but any amount of news would be nice. keep up the good work guys.

Hello Kojima Productions. First I would like to say a very special thanks on reading my comment on the KP report a while back. I was so happy to hear my comment read on the air, and me being a huge MGS fan this meant pretty much the world to me to be known by Kojima Productions. I've tried very hard in the past and hoped that one day one of my comments would be read ever the report ever since Ryan Payton was doing the KP report back then. But then when I finally look back on it I find the timing kind of ironic when you were asking everyone their found MGS moments in their life. And this year, the 25th Metal Gear anniversary was THE BEST time to get that comment of mine read on the KP report. I thank you very much for having my comment read!

Is the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on the Vita running at 60FPS?

Miss mgo already...i hope mgo3 is in the works?

the e3 trailer of rising looks beyond amazing. the gameplay looks so fun and good. i love it. one thing i dont love tho is the direction the story is going. which is why im into metal gear in the first place. this game needs to be noncanon. one thing i dont get... is if this game is set outside the metal gear solid universe, then why the hell is it canon. i dont freakin understand why. i just want this game to be noncanon. but you know... they're never gonna do that. all im saying is that mgs4 ended the series perfectly. nothing should come after it. but i like how they somewhat managed to put stealth back in the game. anyway im done bashing on platinum games. kojipro should step in now and make this noncanon.then they could make as many sequels as they want without making they main series lose any credibility. so to platinum games, im sorry. and to kojipro, i dont know why u guys arnt making this noncanon. u can show what platinum games can do to the franchise while making it noncanon. in ur own little spinoff series... or whatever. just quit screwing around and give the fans who are actually into metal gear for the story something they want. make it noncanon.

On the VGA Trailer Raiden drops his sword on the train scene.

I wish that thing can happen too in gameplay then you have to pick up the sword. While you don't have the sword you have to rely on your hand to hand combat skills.

You should add this skill to Raiden.

Now that I think about it. Kakashi and Raiden are very similar. They have white hair and had an operation on their left eye. They also cover their left eye when not in use. They also use lightning. Hmmmmm

What about MGS4 trophies.

it's a joke that mgs2, 3 and Peace Walker have trophies and Rising will have them, too, but the big MGS4 doesn't.

please reconsider and bring trophies to mgs4. it wouldnt be that hard. Ryan Payton said it was made with trophies in mind in 2008-_- like a trophy for finding all camouflages for octocamo he mentioned on the report.

I am guessing u won't respond to my message but I was wondering if theses rumers on the web are true of metal gear solid 5 is in the works I really hope so I love metal gear franchise also am hopeing soon we also get some mgo3 news comon guys just a lil hint mgo3 ;)

Yo guys, I have an idea. Let's say you're giving the players the option regarding the LIGHTNING emitting out of Raiden's body.

Like

Constantly ON as long as the FUEL CELLS bar is not yellow like on the E3 Demo.

Only on certain occasions (Zan-Datsu, Blade Mode, QTE) just like on the E3 2010 Trailer and Pre-E3 2012 Trailer.

You can call the LIGHTNING emitting out of Raiden's body, the "FUEL CELLS INDICATOR" or "FUEL CELLS LEVEL INDICATOR".

So that it at least sounds/looks a little cooler on the options menu.

Rather than 'LIGHTNING = ON/OFF'

You can use 'FUEL CELLS INDICATOR = ON/OFF'

I'll admit I don't want the lightning completely removed. I still want it to appear on certain stylish situations.

Though I don't think that constant lightning whenever the FUEL CELLS bar is blue is necessary.

It's just that the Pre-E3 Trailer looks so impressive and serious without constant lightning on Raiden's body. But the Demo on E3 looks like it went back to the ugly VGA Trailer again. Just when I got hyped up, I got disappointed again.

Thank you very much if you read my suggestion.

And I love you very much if it gets implemented.

Looking forward on your next podcast.

Please clarify the Metal Gear canon. Is Metal Gear Rising canon? Is Portable Ops still canon, Peace Walker contradicted it a lot.

Thank you

I was playing Deus EX Human Revolution and after completing it, my yearning for a new snatcher shot up skyward. Ya know seeing as how hideo was impressed with The Last of US, Hideo should look to other games for inspiration too. My dream Snatcher game should be something of a cross between Heavy Rain (for the adventure parts), Deus Ex (for the conversation parts), and MGS4's gameplay (for the shooting parts). I pray for the day Kojima revisits Snatcher... the more you guys keep farming out MG to others like you did with rising... the less I care about it. That being said, I have faith in Kp's future projects... just not the current ones ha ha. Keep up the good work guys.

So the 25th anniversary is coming up July 7th or July 14th (I think). Can you maybe tell us anything on what's going to happen, if that is?

Also, loved MGO! I had so much fun playing that and played it for hours at times as I'm sure many others did aswell. Hopefully you'll continue making MGS, I love every game you've made and keep up the good work.
