Kojima updates: Business dinner, and game checking shows MGSV pause screen and checkpoint system
Kojima has retuned from his business trip to Los Angeles, and is back in Japan, where he had a meeting with Yoichi Wada (board chairman at Square Enix) and Julien Merceron (recently appointed worldwide technology director at Konami), among others.
“Had dinner with Mr.Wada. Cheer to the future of Julien and the attack to stagnating industry.”
Another interesting update by Kojima shows Metal Gear Solid V’s game over screen running on a (by the looks of it) current gen hardware. Not much to see, but better than nothing at least.
“Typhoon is gone but still is in my head giving me a headache. Not easy to proceed game checking.”
Looks like it’s running on Xbox 360. It may very well be a placeholder screen though. For now, it seems that the game will feature checkpoints, and you can also restart the entire mission or go back to the title screen through the pause menu.

Hmmm… that screenshot seems like more of a Game Over screen, personally.
Both are possible I would say. So yeah, it could also be a game over screen.
Business dinners !
Like cool !
good Kojima, you gave us that and what the checkpoint screen may look like. Now give us a story detail or two; I’m craving for more MGS and must satisfy that craving with information!
I wouldn’t expect many concrete details, but hopefully some small updates at least.
yeah, just a small update would do me good. A trailer or details at Spike VGA perhaps?
Yeah, that’s a possibility. Would be nice.
Yep. 🙂
By the way, who is down-voting most of the comments here?
the asshole Anonymous of course.
By the way, could you send a reply to a no-life fail troll known as “Truthteller”?

I did. he got what he deserved.
Agreed. By the way can you do me a favour? can you delete Anonymous’s comments cause he’s giving me a headache and he’s making me sick with all of his hate comments?
Yeah, I’m kind of done with his trolling myself.
Me too and thanks, this site can finally have peace 🙂
you crave more of a shitty series? good for you kojimadrone
Religious/Politically conservative morons (including *cough* “Anonymous” *cough*) should take their ignorance somewhere else.
how much of a goddamn loser can someone be
@Anonymous of America
And…how much of a moron can the 2nd version of “Anonymous” be?
The font in the game over screen reminds me of PS1 somehow.. (and I rike it!!)
AWESOME!!!!
…not
…Yes*
All of Anonymous’s comments have been deleted now
He’s also been banned. That guy has serious issues.
True. Well he’s learned his lesson from now on
im sure he has, he’s learned that all mgs fans are gay as hell and drone to death
Now I can see why you made a new account
Next time he makes a new account, it would be best to ignore him. I’ll ban him and delete his comments as soon as possible.
Yep. But this is the “Internet”, where almost anything is possible, according to SCIENCE.
The “Anonymous” user does NOT give up easily.
Yeah thanks. That guy should always be banned for trolling
Agreed. 🙂
no
Yes*
awesome stuff 🙂
goddamn do i ever hate this fucking series. what a shitty game
…
actually it doesn’t look like a pause screen, but a game over screen since it’s similar to Peace Walker’s game over screen.
I changed it to ‘game over screen’ in the article, since most people seem to think that’s what it is, and it makes sense.
This is awesome
no its not
