MG Acid for PSN "possible" - Kojima News
News by Tom Bramwell
Yesterday
Metal Gear Solid superdad Hideo Kojima has told Eurogamer that it's "possible" the Metal Gear Acid games could end up on PlayStation Network, although he stressed nothing is in production.
Kojima was in Germany at Games Convention to chat in the aftermath of June's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot release, and as big fans of the PSP Acid series, we couldn't resist checking on its future.
"I'll say yes to that idea, but not because it is already running or anything," Kojima told Eurogamer when asked about the possibility of porting the turn-based strategy titles to PSN.
"I'm just saying yes because it's possible, I think it is possible. Sorry to say we don't have specific plans at the moment, but it is possible, yes."
There have been two Metal Gear Acid games to far, both exclusive to the PSP. The idea in both is to manoeuvre Solid Snake (and eventually another character) around traditional MGS-style environments trying to avoid being seen and reach your goals.
Movement and actions are turn-based, with longer cool-down periods for more energetic activities like firing rifles. To add additional intrigue, actions are powered by a customisable deck of cards, each of which has certain properties and uses.
It takes a little getting used to (although the second game removed some of the barriers for entry), but still we still miss it. Hopefully Kojima will go home and issue orders to his Kojima Productions pals.

At least this shows that Kojima is thinking about the Ac!d series, which is better than both MGS4 and Portable Ops.
Discuss the awesomeness of the only games that have done card battles correctly.

I've never played the PSP games, are they actually good?

Basically the only games worth not pirating for the PSP. IMO, Ac!d 1 trumps Ac!d 2's story, but 2 trumps 1 in basically everything else. This is because Ac!d 2's story is...incredibly different. Even for Metal Gear.
Great art and gameplay for both of them.

The idea of making strategic espionage has always been awesome to me, using cars to do it will forever elude me. If they figure out some other way, I'd be a much bigger than of the series, but that's the only part that bugs me, really. Cards? C'mon.

Fuck that.
I want Portable Ops on PS2/PSN
-
ACID suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
My love for Metal Gear couldn't shroud how terrible they are.

what the hell
-
I have both Acid and 2 on PSP, so I am pretty excited for this.
-
has anyone tried the cell phone MGA (if it's even out yet)?
-
I tried the 2D one (I think there is a 3D one), and it is still fun for the most part. It is more like the first game than the second one, and the biggest problems is sometimes the perspective is a bit messed up.
-
MGA2 is some hot shit. MGA is decent as well, but I think MGA2 made some much needed improvements.

Yugioh Eternal Duelist Soul = Best videogame card game
-
MGA is great but no way does it do cards right... I hate how it still plays by the Metal Gear rules of sneaking and alarms
Pokemon TCG is better

I wish Portable Ops was made in the same style as Ac!d 2. That would have fit the PSP so much better.

I just wish they copied the control scheme from Dark Mirrors instead of that looney one they have now that makes no sense.
