Some days you feed on a tree frog ... and some days you get a new Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker demo! Kojima's official blog brings word that a new demo will drop on the Japanese PSN this Sunday, November 1st. It's not quite the same as the one we got our hands on -- this one will be a tweaked version of the demo that was available exclusively in a special section of Konami's booth at the Tokyo Game Show.
Kojima Productions has modified the controls based on player feedback, adding an unlockable third control scheme on top of the original two. The developer also improved the enemy AI and behavior, and changed the CQC system a tad, all in an effort to make the game easier to play.
Kojima explains that this process of releasing demos is a game of "catch ball" with the players and that he's looking for more input after they've tried this second demo. Sharing is caring, after all.

Wow, snake really is a super soldier. He can use the sight on a gun with no eye.

Leave Snake alone. You know he's self cautious about his lazy eye.

Wait a minute, why would you make a control scheme UNLOCKABLE?

I wish they'd bring out a demo in the UK once in a while.
I love the TGS one but the japanese confuses me, i have no idea what people are saying or what descriptions actually mean.
Guess it's some sort of "Hardcore" difficulty mode.

Human instinct is to look people in the face first. So they poured most of the resources into facial textures.

His armour is made of plastic, so it has those sharp edges your seeing lol.
But ye, I get what Pirate is saying, game devs are now seeing the importance of the bond between character and player, this is therefore achieved with the stunning facial animations.
