Hideo Kojima: Metal Gear Acid on PSN 'possible'

by Alan Tsang { Aug 24th 2008 at 9:00AM }

At LGC, Kojima told Eurogamer that the non-canonical card-based turned-based tactics series Metal Gear Acid could come to PSN. "I'll say yes to that idea, but not because it is already running or anything, 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."

That's three possibles in one sentence. Oh, Kojima-sama, don't leave us hanging like that! Hopefully we'll hear more concrete news soon.

Kojima: Metal Gear Acid for PSN 'possible'

As our stack of thick, leather bound binders filled from end to end with valuable Pokémon cards will attest, we're suckers for collectible card games. You could probably also tell from our proclivity to creep around the local Wal-Mart with a black bandana crudely wrapped around our greasy mullets that we're also diehard fans of stealth action. As such, it would seem logical to assume we're big supporters of the PSP-exclusive Metal Gear Acid titles -- unfortunately, one look at our barren ludological library will show that we possess a powerful, unnatural fear of video game packaging.

Thankfully, our hopes for a downloadable version of the Acid titles were lifted somewhat by a brief blurb from series creator Hideo Kojima at Leipzig yesterday. Kojima explained that while there's currently no plans concerning the two titles, it's "possible" that the card battlers could be uploaded onto PSN. We certainly would have preferred a more substantial tease from the Metal Gear maven, a "probable" or "likely", perhaps -- but we suppose beggars can't be choosers.
