Media Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain & Ground Zeroes

[Snake Plissken]

I think I look at manuals this way:

PS1/PS2 era: Companion piece.
PS3 era: Pamphlets.
PS4 era: Zip. Like us on Facebook!

I totally don't blame anyone for going digital nowadays.

I miss some of the old manuals, they were neat at times! Back story, tid bits, neat ads and some even had comic books! Though I didn't like how on the PS1, manuals were effectively cover art - no manual and that CD case looks awkward as ****

Later PS3 games are something like PS4 manuals though oddly enough some Nintendo manuals are still something

Physical copies for me, always, even more after the PT fiasco.

Metal Gear was one of the franchises that excelled at Manuals. They always have cool comics. I was abit peeved the HD collection didnt have the MGS2 manga in the manual. It was just the manga-less Substance manual

I was hoping for just a cool steelbook like Arkham City, but they only seem to have standard and two expensive collectors editions with statues i don't want.

Cool and simple:

I love that

Please be reversible, Please be reversible, Please be reversible, Please be reversible.

Well the west definitely won't get Shinkawa art in any form...

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

You thought we would? Cmon man you know better.

 

[Snake Plissken]

No I didn't, we never do. We get the worst boxart.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

I think he was talking about me

But didnt America get the reversible Shinkawa art? We in Europe for the first time ever didnt get any artwork

 

[FSLAR]

Wow, lame as ****. I thought it was just a place holder.

Silent Hills Publisher Konami Issues Apology, Explains

 

[Solidus]

The strength of Konami as a company, Hayakwa said, is in its “power to create groundbreaking IPs, and our power to refine them into progressively better products.”

But, they just got rid of their most brilliant IP in years (Silent Hills) to so they could experiment with mobile gaming .

 

[Dylan]

Maybe there is a reversible side. Really that's all that could save it.

Wow that was an incredible amount of fluff. They said nothing but a small "sorry for the inconvenience" They've really done nothing with this statement.

They claim their IP's aren't dead but have no plans for them? what is that. **** you Konami

edit.

Kotaku said it best:

Konami Sends Out PR Statement, Addresses Nothing

 

[Solidus]

Konami has dug their own graves as far as video games are concerned.

Say what you will about the man, but am I the only one that finds it weird that his name is not on the cover?

Man, it feels odd.

On another note, what the hell s Konami going to show at E3? Do they actually have a press conference? Will everybody boo them to hell?

Funny that a horror video game is what might be the final nail in the coffin.
