[Gamescom] New ‘Metal Gear Survive’ Screenshots, Info Appear

Published

on

In spite of the obvious backlash from fans and Hideo Kojima, Konami is plowing ahead with Metal Gear Survive, which had a bunch of screenshots released for Gamescom earlier this week, as well as more information on the game itself. The game, which uses Metal Gear Solid 5‘s Fox Engine, builds upon MGS5‘s base-building component, while also focusing on survival and resource-gathering in order to, well, survive.

The game will have both single player and CO-OP components, with character progress and gear carrying over between the two modes. Your base camp (which you develop and build throughout the game) will be your hub to craft weapons and gear, as well as planning missions. The aforementioned survival aspects have you gathering blue prints and raw materials for crafting, as well as things like growing crops, food and water storage, and even raising animals. And of course, you’ll also have to manage these resources within your base, adding a strategy component to the game.

Say what you will about Konami (who frankly are in a world of their own at this point), but there is something intriguing about Metal Gear Survive, even if it has nothing to do with Kojima’s original vision of the series. The game is expected next year for PC, PlayStation 4 and XBox One.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
