Hideo Kojima Misses PS3 Rumble
Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid Series, says in the latest issue of the Official UK PlayStation Magazine that he misses the PS3 rumble feature, while he’s currently developing Metal Gear Solid 4 for the console. The game will use the motion sensing feature, although few details are known.
“We can’t say how we’ll use the motion-sensing functionality specifically but we’ll use it for sure. The controls in MGS3 got a little complex, so you’ll have a little more direct control in MGS4. That said, I miss the rumble and even now I hope it will come back.”
Kojima also revealed a few details about the game, which will be more stealth based than before, and where the player will have the choice of joining a particular nation in the war.
“To use a funny analogy—in the past, the MGS series was like a bank robber trying to rob a bank at night; so there are guards, cameras etc. And when you get spotted you’re instantly known as the robber. But in this game, you’re going into the bank at midday. You might just be a customer going in to make a deposit, but you still have to sneak in to accomplish your mission. So you’re trying to deceive. You’re on camera, so if you do weird things you’ll be spotted as the robber, but if you don’t you won’t.”
