Konami have posted up a new Japanese job listing that appears to be the equivalent of a pedophile’s ancient van with the words “free ice cream” scrawled hastily on the side. The ad is asking for recruits to work on “new developments” in theMetal Gearseries for consoles and “portable arcades” (according toIGN). Thepage is also askingfor help in various award-winning games such asWinning Eleven,Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball, andBemani.
That’s right — sweetMGStaste, then horribleBemanitorture.
TheMGSad could mean anything, especially with the ambiguous phrase “new developments.” Through careful and rational thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that the ad is referring toMetal Gear Solid V: Raiden versus Earth. It’s a game that will put players in the role of the Earth’s various elemental forces in an attempt to kill Raiden. With revolutionary SIXAXIS controls, players will harness the power of wind to strike Raiden to the ground, where they can then shake the controller to create craters, spikes of mountain, or even bottomless lava pits.
MGS V: Raiden vs. Earthis coming to theXbox 360, PlayStation 3, and iPhone at some point next year.
