Videos of GC Press Conference
Posted by finalfantasy7 on 14 Sep 2004, 02:20 PM

New videos of the Metal Gear Solid 3 press conference at the German Game Convention have surfaced on the web. In these videos Hideo Kojima explained the Game mechanics in detail via the help of a Power point presentation. While the information is not exactly new, it does confirm some of the game play aspects that were in doubt prier to this press Conference. We now know that snake has the ability to sleep to regain some of his stamina. Not only that snake can get burned, break bones and get severally sick. He also has the ability to take out bullets that are lodged into his body. But it is a choice a player has, you can either treat your wounds or let it just heal, which will leave a scar on snake’s body. Kojima-san said if you don't treat yourself from start to end of them game, snake’s body will be deformed with many scars.
He also confirmed that MGS3 will tie in the trilogy with the three themes, Genes x Memes x Scene:

“..And now that we have all three games, the grand theme comes together and becomes final. And when you pass on to your future generations through your genes and when you pass on your memes, all this, and whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, the standard has changed upon time. Something that was supposed to be great 100 years ago might be something very evil in 100 years and that’s why we're basically taking a slice of history which is scene.”

UK gets the demo too!
Posted by finalfantasy7 on 13 Sep 2004, 02:10 PM

As many of the UK fans have been wondering, will they even get the MGS3 demo that US OPM buyers will get? It turns out that UK Official Playstation Magazine will also be having the same demo US OPM has promised. But it is yet to be known which issue of the magazine will contain the demo. We will let you know once we get more information about this.

“When will a MGS3: Snake Eater demo get on the disc?

The plan with any demo is to get the game on the disc the issue before the review. MGS3 will, of course, definitely get on the disc, but right now we can't tell you which issue - it will depend on when Konami decide to release the game in the UK. But be sure that when we do find out, we'll be singing it from the paper rooftops of OPS2.”

English version might contain an option for Japanese voices
Posted by finalfantasy7 on 11 Sep 2004, 08:13 AM

It seems that Kojima-san is considering to include an option to be able to hear Japanese Voice acting in the English version of MGS3. This is good news for numerous fans that were less than satisfied with some of the English voice actors mediocre performances presented in the GC trailer.

“During a brief Q&A session at E3, Kojima said he hoped the option for Japanese language support would be in the US version, but there's no telling if it'll happen until the final comes around.”
