Okay what does all this MEAN? It means that MGS PSP is likely a squad-based action game based on Big Boss forming Foxhound as a rebellion of sorts in 1970. All the talk about white flags and losing troops seems limited to the wi-fi competitive modes, and it seems that in the actual game you'll be getting troops like you get cards in MGA. Instead of cards I guess there are different types of soldiers who can join Foxhound or whatever Big Boss is forming at first, and you can bet your troops in competitive matches or something. It makes no sense to have a setting for on/off in the actual game.

Thanks Duckroll. Taking place right after MGS3 with Squad-based gameplay. Sounds good to me. Oh and PS2 MGS graphics.


- PS2 MGS graphics
- Squad-based gameplay with your troops being able to die a la Suikoden
- Big Boss
- Set after MGS3, connected to the official storyline.
- Wi-Fi
- You can bet troops in battles, but if you surrender with the white flag before they die, you don't lose them.

Now THIS would definatley force me to get a PSP. I would have no choice. It would be like a bill I have to pay....only it's a game I have to play.

[seahorse]

wow that sounds pretty awesome!

[CrumCon]

first i have to look at the screen first.. then i will believe it

[Sephiroth_VII]

*droolz*
Wierd... I just played through MGS3(again), and what do I see? MGS-PSP will have Big Boss as the main character!!!

[cliffbo]

what if with your PSP you can play a soldier in an army on the PS3 MGS4. but when you die on the PSP that soldier becomes a none player character and yu can no longer play as him. perhaps the white flag enables you to save a point to return later. (cease fire)

We've blogged about this before, but Hideo Kojima in his podcast recently finally announced that Metal Gear Solid is indeed coming to the PSP in 2007.

This version of the game will not be a spinoff like the Metal Gear Acid games but will be part of the main series. The story of this PSP title will take place after Metal Gear Solid 3 (during 1970) and will be about the Big Boss' founding of Foxhound. According to this podcast, Kojima boasts that the graphical quality of this game will be on par with the PS2 titles.

Metal Gear Solid for the PSP will feature a different combat formula, wherein a player will control the fate of several troops. There isn't a Continue feature in the game, so if the troops die, they're gone for good. One also has the option to bet his troops before battle begins, although the consequences to choosing this action are unknown yet.

This game for the PSP is also said to feature multiplayer battles over Wi-Fi.

Expect Sony to have more details about this recently-disclosed PSP title at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). And hopefully, they'll offer clarifications about the still shady parts of the podcasted information.

That sounds pretty good to me.

like E3 wasn't big enough!

[VG Aficionado]

I didn't expect something so big. Excellent news indeed, mostly because of the story since we're going to find out what events happened between MGS3 events and the execution of the Les Enfants Terribles project. Thus, Metal Gear series storyline will be complete.

About the "no continue" feature, that was originally meant to be used in MGS3. It was discarded since it made the game too difficult to finish. Kojima wanted the player to look after Snake's life as if it was the player's own life. They may end up discarding it again, or maybe not if the gameplay is proper in spite of that.
