Hideo Kojima explains Metal Gear Solid 4's main themes in the most Kojima way possible
Another day, another reminiscence

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima's trip down me🌞mory lane has taken him to Metal 💞Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
The game director has been doing a fair bit of reminiscing recently, revealing last week that Metal Gear Solid 3's The End fight was meant to take place 𒁃across multiple areas. Now, the serie💖s director has spoken to Metal Gear Solid's core themes an♔d concepts with the very Kojima-like reflection just below.
MGS2 was a wake-up call to the digital society, but MGS4 is about the digitalization of the battlefield. Drones🌜, SOPs, personal identification of weapons, weapon laundering, etc. From "humint" to "sigint" to "osint. It is no longer science fiction. //t.co/KWU8q8xHa4
Whereas Metal Gear Solid 2 hinted at our digital future and society at large, Kojima says Metal Gear Solid ꦍ4 is all about the "digitalization of the battl🙈efield." Kojima points to aspects like drones, personal identification on weapons, and namely weapon laundering as aspects that lean into this core concept for the sequel.
Somewhat predictably, these two tweets from Kojima have fans in the replies begging for a re-release of the classic Metal Gear Solid games. Of course, it's worth pointing out Kojima has zero control over the series now, since he departed Konami a♑nd left the rights to the series behind bac🌳k in 2015.
Last year actually, a former Kojima Productions developer revealed 澳🌠洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metal Gear Solid 4 could've come to Xbox 360, but it was simply too complicated to pull off. The developer dispelled the common notion that PlayStation had an exclusivity deal in place for the game and revealed the sequel co🌃uld've come to platforms after all, if the entire porting process wasn't so downright complicated and time-consuming.
A Metal Gear Solid actor also revealed how they ended up in a Ford commercial, if you're curious about how one of the weirder crossovers in history came to be.
