Now it finally looks better than MGS2!
Quote:September 05, 2003 - Earlier today in San Francisco Konami Entertainment held a press event/BBQ to spotlight a portion of its forthcoming lineup. Silicon Knights' president Denis Dyack was on hand for the affair to answer questions and to present a slim, but intriguing new video of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes in motion. The new footage showed off much more of the title than we've ever seen before and really spotlighted the impressive cinematography additions for in-game cut-scenes. In the video, Twin Snakes appeared to be running smoother and looking better than it did when we saw it at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2003 and ECTS 2003 after that.
Unfortunately, a newer version of the game was not playable. (Konami featured the same playable demo from E3 2003 instead.) However, we did chat with Denis Dyack one more time and walked away with a few more bits of information in addition to those we gathered in our recent interview.
Here they are:
* MGS: The Twin Snakes will come on two discs
* Dyack said he didn't look to Capcom's Resident Evil remake for inspiration when making Twin Snakes
* He also said that as far as he's concerned nobody makes survival horror games better than Capcom
* In Twin Snakes boss fights, players can now shoot foes in first-person mode
* When asked about future collaborations between Nintendo, Konami and Silicon Knights, Dyack said that these were highly likely: "There's nothing I can say officially. But this is meant to be more than a one-shot deal."
* All of the voice work in the game has been completely re-recorded, every piece of dialogue - and by the same actors from the original game
* No VR missions; Dyack said that SK would have liked to include these, but that there simply isn't enough time
