Metal Gear Solid 4 – Mr. Kojima Interview

Here is a magazine scan of an interview with Mr. Kojima.

We can extract the following information from the interview:

– Seeing from the first glace of these pictures, the world of MGS4 is a war field.
Maybe this time the mission would become “infiltrate the enemy base” or “infiltrate the battle field of several forces”. The identifications of the forces are unknown currently.

– The name of the mysterious Mech is “Metal Gear MK-II”.
We can assume that the video captured by the camera on its head will be transferred to the device on the left side. Now, a mech with the same name was present in the game “Snatcher”.

– The maker/terminator of the Metal Gear, scientist Otacon.
The scientist rescued by Snake in MGS1, then became the partner on equipment and missions. If he will show up in MGS4, then is the old man THE Solid Snake?

– The 2-foot walking weapon in the picture
The strange walking weapon in the street. The shape looks like the Metal Gear REX from MGS1. Could be a mass-produced sub-model?

– Mr. Kojima
Then we are trying to add “Psychological War”. So far, the enemy soldiers in the game solely tries to attack. This is really unrealistic.  The psychological state of a human can be affected, thus making the fixate vary. Players can makes use of this to reduce the combat ability of the enemies.

Raiden will be very active in MGS4

Thanks to Ian Fisher for the scan! 🙂
