Studio Wanted To Sue Kojima For “Ripping Off” Escape From New York

THR has a great interview with John Carpenter up on their site, and tucked away neatly in one corner of it is some interesting stuff about a Metal Gear lawsuit that never was. While discussing an old lawsuit between Canal+ (co-owners of Carpenter’s classic Escape From New York) and Luc Besson ’s 2012 film Lockout…

Terrific Raiden Cosplay Has All The Moves

We showed off Masazi’s Raiden outfit when it floored people at this year’s TGS, but in the meantime she’s gone and made this very cool short film with Rescue the Princess which really showcases what the suit (and helmet) can do. You can see more of Masazi’s cosplay at her Facebook page

We’ve already seen the official Metal Gear timeline, which helps keep the games in chronological order. Now, we get the complete—or damn near complete—timeline of the epic story, including how The Phantom Pain fits in (click here). Warning, there are spoilers!

No, It’s Not A Good Idea To Use Snake’s Abilities In Real Life

Mega64 is back with a new video, messing around with Metal Gear Solid V features, trying to rocket punch everyone on the street with Snake’s Bionic Arm. No one gets fultoned, it’s just a ton of disapproving reactions, as always. 27 of them to be exact. Enough for Rank S! To contact the author of…

Fantastic Metal Gear Solid V Cosplay Has A Real Diamond Dog

Look, I’m not trying to take anything away from Maul Cosplay and Maja Felicitas’ incredible work as Snake and Quiet respectively, but having actual live wolves in the shoot steals the show. We never actually find out what breed of hound the game’s D-Dog is, but when grown up he looks pretty wolfish, so these…

Konami Denies Hideo Kojima Has Left, Says He’s ‘On Vacation’

Earlier today, The New Yorker published a story reporting that Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima parted ways with Konami earlier this month. The Tokyo based game company is denying this report, saying that Hideo Kojima is still an employee and is currently “on vacation.” Update 7:32am – The author of The New Yorker piece,…

For more details on what went down, you should read the piece.

One Unexpectedly Awesome Week With Metal Gear Online

I’ve spent the last week playing through the multiplayer portion of Metal Gear Solid V—and I gotta say, despite the initial launch hiccups, I’m pretty sure I like it better than the base game. Let me explain. Metal Gear Online is everything that makes Metal Gear Solid V so damn good—the wonderful tension of sneaking…

Metal Gear Style Robberies Sure Look Goofy 

For the past two years, a 40-something year-old man has allegedly robbed over 180 different locations across South Korea. If true, how did he evade capture? Stealth, it seems. According to Korean TV media (here and here), the suspect, who is surnamed Choi, allegedly made off with over $60,000 worth of goods during his two-year…

Metal Gear Solid V Looks Beautiful When It Breaks

What you’re seeing here isn’t a mod, or a tweak. It’s a bug, which kingoddball KOB discovered while trying to play Metal Gear Online on PS4, that means most of the game world’s textures simply fail to load. I wish it was a mod, though, or a settings option, because it looks great! Like a…

Getting Fultoned In Metal Gear Online Might Be Worse Than Getting Teabagged

And now to broadcast a moment of utter embarrassment for me in front of thousands of people. After spending many hours trying to get Metal Gear Online to work yesterday, I was finally able to find an actual match this morning. Unfortunately for me, I wasn’t at all prepared for how hardcore Metal Gear Online…

Hilariously, Metal Gear Solid V’s wandering Mother Base soldiers will actually recognize you if you’re in a box! This, along with other rumors are tested in DefendTheHouse’s latest mythbusting video.

Fan’s Remaking The Original 1987 Meal Gear In Unreal Engine

Sounds like an ambitious project, but not an impossible one. Hideo Kojima’s 1987 one-man sneaking title Metal Gear is much smaller game than the ones that followed. A revamped fan-version makes sense. Metal Gear fan Boker posted early shots of this project here. We can see the tanks and the environment of the game’s first…

Konami Goes Microtransaction Crazy with Metal Gear Solid V…Insurance [Update]

Metal Gear Online is launching today. We previously checked out the game at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. It’s a lot of fun as is Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain. You know what isn’t fun? Charging people for what’s essentially a cheat mode. 10/6/15 – 8:35am Update: The title and text were changed to…

Sounds Konami could be making Metal Gear Solid…pachinko. KPE, Konami’s pachinko company, has filed a “Big Boss” trademark. It covers video games, board games, smartphone games, medal games, slot machines, pachinko machines, etc. The pictured image was included with the filing.

An Ocelot Never Lets His Prey Escape

Revolver Ocelot, the eccentric gunfighter of the Metal Gear series, returned as a rather calm and reasonable figure in Metal Gear Solid V. He changed a lot. But for some people on YouTube, such as Lakitouille, it wasn’t enough. The top gif is just a tiny part of Lakitouille’s clip. He made an entire compilation…

Pausing In A Porta Potty In Metal Gear Solid V Makes Me Happy

As I write this, Venom Snake is waiting in a Porta Potty north of Kabul during a sandstorm. I feel a little bad about it, to be honest. I’d rather leave him at Mother Base or with Pequod in his helicopter. In a pinch, though, when Snake is in the field conducting an operation and…
