I’m a sucker for the Metal Gear franchise, it’s easily my favourite series followed by Resident Evil. I also love cosplay so when the MGS series comes together and meets cosplay, the results can be astounding…as is evident from the pics below. I came across this amazing feature on Kotaku.
Here’s Rick Boer with some awesome and very talented cosplay.

And yet another hugely prolific developer has taken the covers of their lineup for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2015. This time, it’s the turn of Konami and it isn’t a big lineup as yet but the full lineup might be revealed as the show looms closer.

I really can’t wait to see Tokyo Xanadu for the PS Vita, that game is looking absolutely awesome!
Fans of Metal Gear Solid will have heard by now that the fifth installment, The Phantom Pain, has been given a release date of September 1st. Thanks to a clever partnership between Sony and Konami, one of the smexiest Playstation 4 units ever seen has just been announced.
Sporting a stunning colour palette of gold, burgundy, and of course black, the design is said to have been inspired by the bionic arm that Snake wears in the game. With a design this impressive looking, it’s sure to be a fan favourite. Here’s a better look at the console and a closer look at the DualShock 4 which comes with a Diamond Dogs logo on the right hand side.
As with everything this good looking, there’s no word yet on whether this will make it to the West but we can have hope…and keep our fingers tightly crossed.
As mentioned yesterday, Kojima Production were planning to show off some footage from Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain. The footage was to be screened during the recent Kojima Station which aired this morning. The footage shown was very brief and features character Quiet dropping in amongst some troops using some very stealthy camouflage. What’s more impressive is that the footage was running in real time on a Playstation 4 console.
Hopefully there’ll be more footage at Tokyo Game Show next week. We’ll let you know once we’re on the showroom floor!
Kojima Productions have today announced that tomorrow’s Kojima Station update will be bringing with it a look at the TGS trailer for Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain. But on top of that amazing revelation is the news of what they’ll be bringing to TGS around this game. From guests, goods, stage events and more at the Konami TGS booth, all will be revealed tomorrow.
Konami will also be hosting a “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Stage” on Saturday 20th September which will see various voice actors attending. Akio Otsuka (Snake), Stefanie Joosten (Quiet) and Satoshi Mikami (Ocelot) will all be appearing. More voice actors will be showing up on Sunday 21st September as well. As soon as the news breaks, we’ll have it up here. We can’t wait!
Kojima Productions have taken the covers off a character to be included in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain who they say will be too erotic to cosplay. The female character is called Quiet and the 3D motion capture responsibilities fell on the shoulders of Dutch model Stefanie Joosten.
The request to make the character too erotic to cosplay came from Hideo Kojima via a Twitter post: I’ve been ordering to Yoji to make the character more erotic, and he did it well. Recently I’ve been making characters this way.

You can catch a video below of the 3D motion capture process along with some 3D render images.

At the recent GDC, Hideo Kojima took the covers off the Metal Gear Solid V trailer and released it onto the world. But despite Kojima being on hand for the proceedings, there was still confusion with fans thinking that The Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes were one and the same.
Today the issue was cleared up with the announcement that the two titles are in fact two separate games. Jay Boor, Konami’s Director of Public Relations, had the following to say, “Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are two separate games. GZ will be a prologue to The Phantom Pain.” When he was pressed further about the platforms they’d be appearing on, he reaming tightlipped regarding Ground Zeroes. However he did reveal that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is “definitely 360 and PS3.”
A few of you have probably seen this already but it’s so awesome, we thought we’d post it as well. The trailer previously known as a teaser called The Phantom Pain launched a barrage speculation on the interwebs with many claims of this being the new Metal Gear Solid V. And this time, speculation was correct.
The trailer from the recent GDC, show off the Kojima Productions’ Fox Engine which looks amazing. Incredible texture detail on the faces of the medical staff, rain effects and more. No doubt this game will have a huge presence at Tokyo Game Show ’13!
Word’s coming out of Japan that the next issue of gaming publication, Famitsu Weekly, will have some kind of surprise for fans of Metal Gear Solid.
No solid facts on what it is but rumours are aplenty that it may have something to do with the recently announced “The Phantom Pain” which has everyone speculating that it is in fact, Metal Gear Solid 5.
We’ll keep you posted.
