Metal Gear Solid 5 ‘will launch Summer 2013 at the earliest’, says mo-cap actor

In an interview with Silent Haven, Bossic discussed his recent work with Kojima Productions, “My past motion capture session was for an upcoming Metal Gear game, I will be back with Kojima again in the fall, and maybe other sessions. This title is a long way off.”

When asked which Metal Gear project he was working on, Bossic added, “I am working on a future metal gear, not to be released until next year summer at the earliest, if not later then that. Im doing motion capture only.”

“I can 100% say my voice will not be involved in this. I dont even know what the title is, they are all very secretive and sometimes even the scenes I act out I dont even know the full story, because they want to keep it secret.2

“I suppose it is fine to mention I am working on it, everybody knows Kojima is making something now, and I posted the photo on my page here with him. The only thing is that I cant ever answer any questions about it or talk about, not for sometime.”

NO ******* WAY

PS3 will go out with a bang, since the PS4 is launching next fall.

Can't Wait.

 

[swendro]

**** that. Give me MGS5 as a PS4 launch title.

 

[mister916]

Soooo... anyone get Counterstrike: Go? Is it worth it?

Yes. For $15 It's worth it.

 

[Moderngz]

Exactly what I was thinking I thought MGS5 would come with the ps4. But I'll take it

 

[bamez]

i know cs:go is worth it for pc.  But is it worth it for ps3 if i already got it for pc?

 

[mister916]

Probably not.

Only thing I dislike is that the game maxes out at 10 players.

DOA5 lead: Japanese view of women in games 'not going to change'

The Dead or Alive franchise is notorious for its blatant emphasis on sexy female fighters in tiny, physics-defying outfits – in the western world, at least. In Japan, this form of female representation is "common sense," Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi tells MCV.

"With the representation of female characters in the Dead or Alive franchise, we've always wanted to make the girls look as attractive as possible, and that's something that's not going to change for us at all," Hayashi says. "We are a Japanese developer, and we're making the female characters with our common sense and our creative sense. When you take that to countries outside of Japan, it tends to be very misinterpreted in some cases, people considering it sexist or derogatory, etc."

In February, Hayashi said Team Ninja would attempt to shift focus in Dead or Alive 5 away from sex and violence, heading instead in "a direction that contains emotional experiences that can move players." It's entirely possible that Hayashi was pandering to western sensibilities with that statement, but it's also possible he plans to combine deep, emotional experiences with sex-infused character models. There's nothing immoral in making beautiful things, as Hayashi sees it.

"For us, within our culture, we're showing women like that, and we're trying to make them look attractive," he says. "We can't help if other cultures in other countries around the globe think that it's a bad representation. Within our nationality and within our national borders, we obviously have morals that we create our female characters from, but within our Japanese sensibilities, we've made those characters the way they are and we're not going to stop doing that."

With that said, bring on the jiggly room!

Wipeout developer Sony Liverpool closed

Sony confirmed this morning that Wipeout developer Sony Liverpool has been shut down. It is currently unknown how many people have lost their jobs. MCV reports that the campus will remain open for various Sony Europe logistic services, but that the studio itself has been terminated as part of Sony's quality review process.

"We have reviewed and assessed all current and planned projects for the short and medium term and have decided to make some changes to our European Studios," reads a Sony statement released to MCV.

"It has been decided that Liverpool Studio should be closed. Liverpool Studio has been an important part of SCE Worldwide Studios since the outset of PlayStation, and have contributed greatly to PlayStation over the years. Everyone connected with Liverpool Studio, past and present, can be very proud of their achievements."

Sony Liverpool began life as Psygnosis back in 1984, releasing under that name classic games such as Shadow of the Beast and Lemmings. In 1995, the studio created the Wipeout franchise under Sony's ownership, with Wipeout 2048 releasing on the PlayStation Vita earlier this year. It's not known if the studio was working on any future Wipeout games or any other Sony releases.

No ***** given

Black Ops 2 Create-a-Class App for Excel and Google Docs

As you may know, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is set to feature point-based system for its Create-a-Class system. In previous Call of Duty titles, the perks and weapon mods you could select were limited to preset values, so it wasn't possible to roll a perk-heavy class by sacrificing your weapon.

With the introduction of a point-based system, you can now go armed to the teeth with a heavily modded weapon but be thin on perks, or choose from any variety of set ups to define your personal play style.

Although the game has yet to be released, how the new Create-a-Class system works has been heavily documented. As such, a DW24/7 staff member has put together a little app which works in both Google Docs and in Excel, allowing you to plan your loadouts for Black Ops 2 for when it comes out.

Here's an example(via reddit) of how it looks like:

Now this is pretty ill

After not playing MW3 for about 2 months, I threw it in tonight.

Rumors of the PS4 supporting 4K resolution...when the PS3 hasn't even maxed out the potential of most games being in 1080p. 

Empty promise...because only a handful of games even run in 1080p...most run in 720p.

That's true, but Sony always likes to tout (no WWE) themselves off as being "future proof"

I play it on 360. I just cant deal with the connection issues late at night. IW has made no effort to correct any issues regarding that or the hit detection... but yet I am still downloading patches every month for that game.
