E3: Kojima announces Metal Gear Arcade News

PlayStation 3 News by Oli Welsh

3 June, 2009

Hideo Kojima has revealed the first ever Metal Gear title for arcades: an adaptation of the PS3's Metal Gear Online with 3D visuals called Metal Gear Arcade.

"Metal Gear Solid finally makes its appearance on the coin-ops," he said at Konami's E3 press conference. "It's coming back from the PS3's Metal Gear Online. That was quite a hit, so we're going to bring it to the coin-ops."

Metal Gear Arcade's imposing, enclosed cabinets were shown on screen in suites of four, but they will also be connected between arcades via the eKonami system. They will offer full 3D visuals through goggles. "If you put on these goggles which allow you to see the 3D view, you'll be able to see the enemies pop up in 3D," Kojima said.

Metal Gear Arcade is being developed by Konami's arcade division in collaboration with Kojima Productions, the creator revealed. Konami aims to release the machine into arcades in Japan this year, and has plans to introduce it to the rest of the world soon after.

Inspired by MGO? Does that mean sitting around for half hour waiting for the game to update and a painful online system?

Sounds like a lot of pop up in this game.

EDIT: And I bet everyone will have to register for konami id, game id and a skin condition check before being able to put the goggles on and step into the machine.

This will have proper 3D, as in binocular vision.

3D graphics in games aren't really 3D, because you are viewing a screen that is only capable of converying information in 2 dimensions.

Kojima is really whoring Snake and co. out at the moment isn't he?

And people complain about 4 Halo games in 6 years.
