MGS Peace Walker has base building News • News • Eurogamer.net

Competitive MP and singing tanks.

The upcoming PSP Metal Gear Solid game, Peace Walker, has base building, competitive multiplayer and singing tanks.

When enemies are killed in the game - due out 28th May - they die and go to Mother Base: your sea rig. Using the Fulton Recovery System they're put back on their feet and join your cause, gaining unique attributes to help Snake out.

The more you collect, the bigger Mother Base grows, gaining new functions as it does so. Snake's weapons can be upgraded or transformed into all-new armaments there, too.

We've known about four-player co-op for a while, but today Konami's confirmed three-on-three team multiplayer via the PSP's ad hoc connection. Much inspiration has been taken from Metal Gear Solid Online.

Oh, and Peace Walker's tanks, planes and hovering machines can talk and sing in combat. How? Apparently we'll find out as the story unfolds.

Kojima's new PSP game also introduces CPR for downed team members and even more giant bosses to hurt, facially.

I played the demo and found that once again, with a 3rd person action game where you aim a gun on psp the control scheme let's what should be an A+ game down why the hell did you not include an extra analogue stick

Ad hoc mode, how popularly used the mp components would be? Agreed if on PS3 would have been better as more online users.

Still looking forward to the SP game.

@ulikmegee - Mostly agree, although its weird that I had no problem with Syphon Filter or SOCOM (which I never played previous to my PSP), I guess its because we're so used to MGS with twin sticks.

@GamesConnoisseur

Just run the multi-player through Ad-hoc Party on the PS3, it works a treat. Free too.

I've used it for MHFU and I've seen others playing Disidea, Gran Turismo and Powerstone.

So hold on, you're rewarded for killing enemies now? Surely that's the antithesis of all that is MGS?

@Nuada: The article is wrong. You have to knock out, rather than kill the enemies. The Fulton Recovery System isn't some magic "bring them back to life" machine, it's a helium balloon that flies their bodies up and out of the battlefield where it is collected by a plane (see how Batman escapes the Hong Kong tower in The Dark Knight).

I think MGS is getting slightly too weird now. MGS4 was just about the limit, but this?

Oh dear...

I'm still buying it on release though as I friggin love the series.

Considering they had pooping cow tanks last time, singing tanks seem pretty reasonable.
