I wouldn't mind do demo but then can't do speech simultaneously. As stealth game, MGS requires delicate control play/you get spotted easily.

Then what is "beauty play"? Since developer side has knowledge of map and strategy, they move straight to the answer. (cont)

e.g. if climbing ladder to roof top, u tend to go straight to the ladder but it won't happen for someone plays in 1st time. (cont)

The correct answer is that to find the ladder and decide what to do next.

One of my staff, called "Let's" has much experience of "beauty play" & he moves just as I expected except in battle seq w/ limited time.

We showed off gameplay to Mr.Avi Arad that we've been working on. The beauty play by "Let's" amused him well & he said it was "cinematic".

Welcome back Nyxus!
Thank you, good to see you still here.
interesting. too bad it won’t be live streamed.
Yeah, hopefully Kojima posts some pictures, but probably not.
What? They won’t even show the video to the public?
Doesn’t look like it.
Then it looks like i got excited for nothing… And hyped a couple of my friends too. 🙂
Well, we never know what happens. But it’s probably best to keep your expectations low.
I’m kind of happy, I didn’t want to watch it because I know there’d be spoilers, but I probably wouldn’t have been able to resist… Now I don’t have to worry about it 🙂
I think its prep for TGS, he will reveal the same gameplay probably there.
Most likely. I can’t wait!
Where is your source to Ken’s statement about the video not being streamed or shown to the public? I saw his tweets and he says nothing about the demo at all.
One interesting tweet that I noticed however was when Ken was asked by a fan about KP not attending Gamescom and Ken replied saying that they were too busy with “MGS: Ground Zeroes” rather than saying MGSV. It seems to me that Ground Zeroes even though it is a prologue to The Phantom Pain and part of MGSV is coming out first while TPP will be released later.
It was asked by metalgearsolid.be, and Ken responded that there won’t be a stream. Follow the second link in the source section if you want to check it out.
Ok thank you 🙂
I think you’re right about GZ Batzi. The early emphasis on GZ as game in and of itself, the strange ways Kojima has tried to explain the relationship between the two in terms of distribution, and the various slips that seem to have come from Konami about it, are part of the reason I feel confident that GZ will be released as a separate game before TPP. If you’re interested, I discuss possible release dates and other evidence concerning this in my blog post: http://mgsconspiracy.blogspot.com/2013/06/mgsv-phantom-pain-release-dates.html
Thanks for sharing. I will check it out.
Hope they at least put it up on the konami youtube channel
glad that you are back, Nyxus. to bad Kojima won’t show us the gameplay demo.
Someone from IGN twittered we will see more MGSV ‘very soon’. Not sure how to take that though…
can’t wait for this!!!
