So, I am assuming you have all seen the Metal Gear Solid: Survive trailer. If you haven't, take a look below.
Yikes, right? Most people's reactions ranged from "What the hell is this?" to "Dude... no, no, no, no, awwwwww, what the hell? Nooooooo! WTF zombies??"Whyyy?"
Now, normally I get irked at people who immediately decide that something sucks after two minutes of footage (while also desperately fighting to not be one of those people myself), but why the hell are there giant, Avengers-esque portals sucking aircraft carriers into the sky, and stupid looking crystal zombies running around? None of that makes any sense now, does it? Also, it really annoys me that portals have been "hot" for like a decade. One studio exec sees a portal work as a plot device, and all of a sudden, every movie and game and plot in the world has a stupid portal that is threatening all of existence. Why? Why would I be scared of portals? Not to mention that 95% of the time, you don't even get to see what is on the other side of the portal. It could be something really cool, like a world where everyone gets free sandwiches everywhere they go. No matter where they are, if they get hungry, boom! They get a sandwich.
But no, we never get to see the nicer side of portals, and movie execs assume that since they make loud noises and suck things into them, I should be terrified. They share all the same principals as a vacuum, now that I think about it, and you don't see me running from a Dyson, now do you?
Where was I? Right. Kojima.
A fan made this Office-style interview/documentary that starts off close enough to reality that I thought it was real. As it goes on, it becomes more and more ridiculous, and it gets pretty damn funny. What is not going to be as funny, is when MGS:Survive comes out and we realize they most likely have killed a franchise.
Thanks to DottyFuzz for the video.
