[Kotaku] Kojima on MGS Touch: "Simple, Yet Solidly Playable"

Hideo Kojima gave an interview to Famitsu iPhone magazine, and gave up a lot of detail on the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid Touch.

Your next Metal Gear is a 20 stage game but, ruh roh, you don't get them all at once. "Of these, 12 stages will be available initially," according to Anoop Gantayat at Andriasang.com, who translated the piece. "After a while, Konami will distribute a full version of the game. Those who purchased the initial 12 stage version will be able to upgrade to the full version for free." Commence knee-jerk DLC *****ing now.

The game also is brought to us by Kojima Productions' first female producer - Yasuyo Watanabe. Kojima explains he brought her aboard specifically because of her experience with the iPhone. "If someone like himself were to make an iPhone game, he would make it with game-like ideas," said Gantayat's translation. "That's fine for a pure game machine, but with hardware like iPhone which is mainly used as a phone and music player, he felt that her promotional viewpoint would be useful."

Kojima called Metal Gear Solid Touch "simple, but solidly playable." He thinks the volume offered by the iPhone and iPod Touch's installation base will translate to solid growth for "one idea products" - games that are well designed but not too complex (I think that's what he means.)

"I believe there are many people who know about MGS's existence. However, I believe there are also many people who don't play it because they think it looks hard," Kojima said, according to the translation. "I'd like those people to sample the MGS world as lightheartedly as one would listen to music. Of course, I'd like fans to also enjoy themselves."

My eyes and mind cries when I see this...
OMG, kill it! What is it is that fur thing sitting next to snake?
I have pitty on them for actualling thinking they could sell a ****ty flash game and convert it to the iPhone (and add pretty new levels and difficulty)

I have even further pity for those who buy the damn thing.

this is why i have a jail broken itouch
None of these posts make sense. You guys are judging the game to harshly before anything but the mention of it's existence has been released. Also, having a jail broken iTouch is irrelevant not to mention not making sense in the first place.
haha i might consider getting an itouch just for this game


why not just create a msg5?

Have you seen the game yet?
When you've seen it you can stand in line for the bashing upon this game.
EDIT: this game hurts my MGS feelings as a MGS fan...
