This Is How You Cosplay Metal Gear Rising Characters

Baltimore hosted the 20th Otakon convention last weekend, full of pop culture celebration and cosplayers. One particular group of four people—Pro Voltage—did a hell of a job showing off their Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance cosplay, dressing up as Raiden, Monsoon, Mistral and—in this case, transforming to—Bladewolf. Check the gallery below for more Bladewolf (that thing…

Metal Gear Solid 4′s Story Summarized, Impressively, In One Minute

These “Lore in a Minute” videos are always fun, but lately they’ve been mostly for games that don’t have all that much lore to begin with. So it’s nice to see them take on a monster like Metal Gear Solid 4 and manage to succinctly capture the entire narrative setup in so little time. I…

Metal Gear Artist Draws Kick-Ass Pacific Rim Poster

Need one more reason to get excited about Pacific Rim? How about the fact there’s a poster for the movie that was done by famed Metal Gear artist Yoji Shinkawa Done as an exclusive for the 3D release of the game, while the poster you’ll see below is for the Japanese market, those in the…

That Rex just realized Metal Gear Solid‘s Snake is right in front of him. How fast can those mechanical legs run away? Amazingly detailed artwork by ChasingArtwork and it reminds me of Yoji Shinkawa’s original concept arts, which is not a bad thing. Dayshot is an image-based feature that runs every morning, showcasing some of…

The level of camouflage technology Snake from Metal Gear Solid 3 uses to blend in his surrounding environment—in this case, a brick wall—is truly impressive. Dayshot is an image-based feature that runs every morning, showcasing some of the prettiest, funniest game-related screenshots and art that we can find. Send us suggestions if you’ve got them.

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Is Out July 9th For The PS3

Here’s the first trailer for Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy. 8 games in all, plus a couple of graphic novels. It’s a trip down memory lane for those of you that have played any of these titles over the last 25 (!) years.

At Least One Developer Wants To Remake Metal Gear Solid

Game designer Hideo Kojima might not actually be actively looking for someone to remake his magnum opus, but at least one developer wants to step up to the plate. Earlier this week, rumors circulated that Kojima and crew were looking for a game studio willing to remake Metal Gear Solid on their fancy new Fox…

Kojima Wants Someone To Remake Metal Gear Solid, But That’s All.

There was a rumour earlier this week that Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima was trying to sign up a developer to handle a remake of Metal Gear Solid using Konami’s new Fox Engine. It’s not true, though there are the very best intentions behind it. Kojima first said this yesterday morning: There’s a rumor about…

It’s The Hook That Brings You Back To Metal Gear Solid V

I ain’t telling you no lie. The hook brings you back — even if you’ve got one eye. Thanks to the E3 2013 promotional art for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, I’ve had Blues Traveler stuck in my head since Monday night. Still can’t nail that damn harmonica solo.

This Nine Minute Metal Gear Solid V Trailer Is Pretty Gross

Nine minutes! That’s a long freakin’ time. Not all the footage is brand, brand new, but be warned, it’s rather graphic in places. Heads up, if you are squeamish. To contact the author of this post, write to bashcraftATkotaku.com or find him on Twitter @Brian_Ashcraft

Metal Gear Solid V On the Xbox One Looks Fantastic

Today during the Microsoft press conference at E3, Microsoft unveiled a ton of new Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain footage. Snake seems to be in Afghanistan, can ride horses, and still does that whole sneaking thing.

Hopefully This Is A New Move In The Next Smash Bros (And Other GIFs)

E3 is in just a few days, but that doesn’t mean this week is devoid of weird and screwy GIFs the Internet likes to have fun with. Quite the contrary. So before we prepare Photoshop for undoubtedly silly GIFs from the big E3 conferences, let’s see what the Internet has been up to this week.…

Here’s A Pretty Crazy Conspiracy Theory About Metal Gear Solid V

Many Metal Gear Solid fans aren’t exactly happy that David Hayter will not—as far as we can tell—be reprising his role as Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V. That much isn’t surprising. Amusingly, the inability to let Hayter go has led some fans to concoct a ridiculous conspiracy theory about what’s actually happening…

Weird Moments With Kiefer Sutherland, Also Known As The New Snake

Snake’s Cat’s out of the bag: Kiefer Sutherland will play Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain.

Sutherland is a perfect fit,…

David Hayter Snipes At Konami On Twitter

Wow! I guess David Hayter is really upset he won’t be returning to the role of Snake for the next Metal Gear Solid game. Or maybe he’s still participating in a long con with MGS creator Hideo Kojima? Check out what he just tweeted: New Coke, of course, was Coca-Cola’s failed attempt to change the…

We Liveblogged Konami’s Pre-E3 Show Right Here

In the usual fashion of events leading up to the big E3 gaming convention (which is, scarily, fast-approaching) Konami is among the handful of publishers hosting a pre-show to reveal what will likely entail some next-gen game announcements. At the very least we know we’ll hear more on Metal Gear Solid 5 and, in particular,…

Is David Hayter Playing Snake In MGS5? We’ll Find Out Next Week.

Ever since David Hayter tearfully announced that he wouldn’t be returning as Snake for the next Metal Gear Solid game, I’ve had a gut feeling that he will be returning as Snake.

Acapella Can’t Make The Metal Gear Solid Theme Kick Any Less Ass

Not all music can survive the a cappella treatment, let alone the “Geekapella” treatment. Goofy dudes (Max and Sam) singing geeky music, sort of in tune and sort of out of tune… a lesser theme song might lose some of its dramatic heft. Not Metal Gear Solid No, when the heroic theme entered at 2:22,…
