Where do zombies fit in…?
Anextended demoforMetal Gear Survivewas shown at the Tokyo Game Show this past weekend. In addition to looking boring as all hell, the game drew the attention ofMetal Gearseries creator, Hideo Kojima. His response wasn’t exactly enthusiastic.
In an interview posted on IGN, Kojima was asked if the idea forSurvivehad come from him. He responded, “That’s nothing to do with me.” Yoji Shinkawa, a former designer on theMetal Gearseries also added, “If I had worked on that game, it would have mechs in it.”
Confusingly, Kojima then stated, “TheMetal Geargames are about political fiction and espionage. Where do zombies fit in with that?” I can see where he is coming from, butMetal Gear Solid Vhad zombies in it, so what is the difference?
Either way, at least I’m not alone in my apathy forSurvive. For all intents and purposes, it could end up pretty great, but I don’t see that happening. That 15-minute video has a lot of re-purposed assets fromThe Phantom Painand that always drives me insane.
