Metal Gear Acid is the name of the new 3D Tactical Espionage Action game for PSP, according to a brief announcement on Konami's E3 media disc. However, that's about all there is to say about the game as yet -- it's an "all-new stealth adventure game," development is headed up by Konami JPN's Hideo Kojima, and that's about it for now. A release date is not available as yet.

Is it me or this game looks better then MGS2:SOL, Twin Snakes..

And they are comparable to MGS3?

LOL PSP kicks any handheld games... hell it even kick many gamecube and xbox games

[Makaveli_786]

WOW Id love to C ur face when U C the GT demo, it looks far superior to the MGS screenshots.

Okay, I don't post here often, as you can tell, because I'm only here for the news.

I'm just going to say this: Does anyone remember the scrapped MGS Card Game idea? It was seen on the Document of MGS, if you know.

If not, I reckon, by the looks of, er, that third image, that this has got a weird slant on the genre in that its now a card game.

It may not be, but the guard has two "10"s above his head - 10 damage per bullet from the AK-47 card? I dunno, but that new item slot system may fit in with a card game of some sort.

I will but it no matter what (need a job to get some money first...) but what do you think? Am I crazy?

I feel ike this is going to be the most revolutionary handheld since the original gameboy. Thats incredible.

I agree, in terms of graphical power no other handheld matches this... What the Playstation was to the console market, the PSP will be to the hand-held market. Perhaps not on the same scale though...

Exactly. This is the first handheld to do many things. First handheld optomized for 3-d graphics, first handheld to use disc, has a lot more memory than GBA and even more than the PS2, plus plays movies and other formats. This is the handheld to really push the handheld industry forward.

remember these games are the first wave of games on psp and already the graphics performace reaches that of ps2. image how games would look half way psp's life time. maybe close to half life 2 graphics who knows. i sure would hope so . also the nintendo DS isn't that far off in graphics either. i thought the graphics difference was gonna be huge between psp and DS. but they showed a demo of metroid prime on DS and looked similar to the gamecube one but without all the explosions, particles, reflections and lighting. but texture wise it looked the same. anyways this is just the first gen of games on these handhelds. i would love to see how psp performes at full power if it "supposely" ( according to sony) 10 times stronger than ps2.

Nice pics nick looks like this will be a good game..
I hope it is as good as it looks and that is good for a handheld.

[richjwild]

i dont like the sound of that card game malarky, sounds a bit too RPGish for my liking

[Fats]

I'll say nothing on the matter, it could turn out to be a huge revolution that everyone loves... So I'll keep quiet until we get more information on it.

[richjwild]

thinking about it, it could turn out in a mature pokemon style trading fest using wifi

That actually sounds really exciting...

[richjwild]

i just hope there isnt too much emphasis on them , eg using a certain 1 to defeat a boss

i hope they are like bandana or stealth , maybe not even as powerfull as that

Guys.. DS is nothing compared to PSP..

just look at those screen shots of DS games:

Metroid hunters
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0405/game051104n.shtml

animal crossing ds
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0405/game051104o.shtml

Mario kart ds
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0405/game051104k.shtml

super mario 64x4
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0405/game051104f.shtml

As you can see... super mario on N64 looks much better then that.
Even Metroid prime: hunters looks nothing compared to PSP games.

MP Hunters look some what better because of the dark environment.

Look at Mario 64x4.. and the other.. they all looks like PS1 games.

check those site please

The metroid game did not! look like the Gc version. the graphics are of the N64 type.
You didn't have these kind of pics with the GC version. I know they aren't anti-aliased but still. It's pretty obveous they are of the N64 quality.

[CrumCon]

too blocky and jaggies lol

[richjwild]

have you seen the screenshot of the ball rolling? it looksvery poor graphics, and nowhere near PSP

also,the controls surely wont be like a normal FPS, beacuse you must only be able to strafe and move forward

[solidus]

I just hope for Nin that wasn't the final result of their DS or they will have less sales than the N-gage
