Joystiq.com has just reported that MGS Touch will indeed arrive this month. The full article can be viewed here : http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/06/metal-gear-solid-touch-dated-for-march-new-screens/
Looks like it has been approved already, maybe Konami is just trying to get some more publicity before they decide to release...I know a lot of people here feel this game won't be good at all, but no one can make that claim without actually having played the game first, so until then, no more "it's just MGS Duck Hunt" posts
Its showing in europe on the appstore search function too! (well the text is like your above screenshot)... Now if only they'd release Lets Golf this week I think this months library would be complete for me...
From what i can gather if it's showing up in the search already we should see it within the next few days.... Riiiiight???.......
I'm pretty much positive Apple has already approved it, and now all that needs to happen is for Konami to click a button or let Apple know when they want it released...could be anytime really, only they know
i think i might hold off on this and go for the new terminator i dont really know yet but by the ooks of this i dont have much time to decide...
Your'e gonna hold off buying this and wait till may 22nd for terminator? Good luck with that, I dont think I could wait that long to find out if its any good or not, I reckon by may 22nd we could already have the next free installment of MGST to play with!
Wow. There are way too many big titles coming out this month..... good for most, but bad for me. How does April look?
Honestly speaking, I am actually expecting the Terminator game much more than the MGS game due to the MGS game design. No matter what, the MGS on iphone will never be like on console. Thus, it will not be as intense as console ones(not to mention the well written story). I really really want to see some premium priced game for hardcore gamers on iphone. Hopefully, Terminator is going to be a FPS game with adequate graphics and game play time. I am a huge fan of Terminator series.
Im pretty sure the story in MGST will tie in really well with the console versions... I hope the terminator game is cool too but if its out in around 9 weeks time and all they have to show for it is an artists rendition and no actual screenshots let alone movies, i wont hold my breath in anticipation...
I don't mind that it's a tap screen shooter. They're analogous to light gun shooters, and I like those. My issue is that MGS is noted for story, and what does Kojima Productions and Konami do? Tell the story in this game through text over static pictures you earn by beating a level. Wow. I'd rather they have done something like, say, Kojima's own Snatcher. Or his later Policenauts. Both of those had light gun shooting...but it was also a full fledged adventure game. Imagine something like that, but with the MGS IP. Or, hell, imagine Konami finally translating that game into English.
I reckon there will be a lot more to the story than just that, im gonna wait till the final product comes out before I pass any more judgement.
