MGS: Peace Walker is 100% MGS5-Class Game
Metal Gear Solid: Rising seems to be taking the story in a slightly different direction by expanding on Raiden‘s story. While we are all scratching our heads at what exactly “Lightning Bolt Action” means, Kojima was recently quoted that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker continues the true Metal Gear Solid saga.
This game certainly turned some heads at E3 and completely took everyone by surprise. The last we heard of Metal Gear Solid on PSP was supposed to be a sequel to Metal Gear: Portalble Ops. From Kojima’s own admission during Konami‘s E3 Press Conference, Peace Maker is the “true sequel”.
“This game is an MGS5-class game. I am supervising, designing, producing, directing, and editing this title together with the MGS4 team, therefore in that sense, ‘METAL GEAR SOLID’ has not ended, and the ‘METAL GEAR SAGA’ continues.”
- Hideo Kojima, Kojma Productions [Via]
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is due sometime in 2010.

i still wish this was a ps3 game…
but the psp titles that were recently announced at e3 are getting me really excited for the pspgo. im hoping for some kind of sweet ass metal gear solid peace walker pspgo bundle.
why was this posted so late?
@skullking123
i know. i thought this was shown at the E3 PSL coverage?
I hate it when they release sequels on handhelds. I haven’t had a handheld since the GameBoy Color. I just never have any use for them, I never have down time outside of the house to sit there and play games and when I’m in my house I would rather just play my PS3. I don’t understand why they would limit a great game like this to the handheld audience.
If Peace Walker was on PS3, it would also have been on the 360. Kojima pissed in Microsoft’s face when he announced Rising, they were expecting MGS5 to be on their console but they only got a spin-off.
Kojima himself said in a Famitsu interview that he didn’t want to create Rising, he was probably forced by Konami. So releasing it on the PSP was the only way to stay on Sony’s side for now. But maybe the true MGS5 will be a PS3 exclusive when the 400GB Blu-Ray will be released and Kojima will have no choice.

Peacewalker is the “true” MGS5, Kojima said it himself. It is basically MGS5 with PSP graphics.
i am still interested in the PS3/360 games since it is going to follow Raiden. I want to see if they continue to make him a killer, instead of a whiny girl-man
@ dbigfeet
i think he has a right to bitch and complain.. his wife incident, the kid and than being changed into a cyborg. He had a death wish going on in MGS4. His world was torn apart and from a realistic point of view his life went downhill, he couldn’t even be admitted into society without standing out. I don’t blame the guy for bing pissed off and depressed.
Do you know everytime Hideo comes out and says things like this it makes me even more proud to own this great console. And now that he is backing the psp full force i believe we are about to see why the psp (go or slim) is to also be considered as one of the greats. Im praying that Peace Walker out shines Rising as far as story and all around game play to makes Microcost”s tactics of so called “taking all of sony exclusives” look pointless. And for those who dont know sony’s best exclusives come from there worldwide studios………………………………. so i think they can let a little spin go LMAO!!!!! Owwwwwwww!!!! KING PLAYSTATIONS REIGNS!!!!!!!!!
I guess it’s not on PS3 so Kojima can get it out faster. He has good reason for putting it on PSP. After MSG4, Kojima and Sony know Metal Gear moves Systems. Sony has a new System coming (which it’s previous version weren’t very successful/as successful as they hoped) and people want more MGS.
Lighting Bolt Action for Rising, I believe, describes the Ninja Gaiden gameplay style quite well.
Although, building such a game for both PS3 and Xbox360 will be quite odd, I think this will be one of those games where people will say, “you have to buy it for_____” (PS3 being the more powerful system, and able to hold more game space, It think PS3 will be in that blank. PLUS, Kojima already Maxed out DVD back in MGS3 and Bluray during MGS4, so going back to DVD9 for him will be sort of funny. “I want this Character Model” “Sir…that would take up the entire DVD”)
[...] getting rave reviews, many people still wonder why the PSP was the chosen platform for an “MGS5-class game.” If the game was on PS3, it would benefit from the greater power of the PlayStation Network [...]
