New MGS: Peace Walker demo on Japanese PSN this Sunday
by David Hinkle 
{ Oct 28th 2009 at 1:00PM } 
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.

I though it was a next gen game, until I saw everything that wasn't Snake face, talk about pushing hardware.

Snake's left arm made me think it was a Wii game.
WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Oct 28th 2009 1:12PM
Now that I think about it, it looks like Goldeneye with Snake face shopped in, but at least his face is nice to look at.

You guys realize this is a PSP game, right?

HAHA! Joke's on you guys!

Wow, snake really is a super soldier. He can use the sight on a gun with no eye.
Maulok @ Oct 28th 2009 1:18PM
LOL

Snakes don't need eyes to get their prey!

I bet he's thinking "pray & spray".

Leave Snake alone. You know he's self cautious about his lazy eye.
Akronon @ Oct 28th 2009 1:53PM
We all know he's self cautious about the eye. That's why he wears an eye patch to protect it.
el serpiente @ Oct 28th 2009 1:53PM
Maybe even self-conscious.

What's this?
A game company using player feedback from a demo to improve the game!?!
Surely, a first for the industry!
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Oct 28th 2009 1:27PM
Yea! They should be releasing the demo AFTER the game comes out.
Right?.. RIGHT?!?!
NitroMikeo @ Oct 28th 2009 1:25PM
This game.. looks.. awesome.

Interesting day to release a demo. Gotta put this in my reminders, even though I am tired of Kojima's storytelling. Still love the MG series from a technical standpoint, though. Can't front on that. I'll be playing this on Sunday.

GREAT! I loved the demo I already had but changing weapons while playing kinda sucked and healing with rations. There was no quick way to do it when someone is shooting at you.
gatotsu911 @ Oct 28th 2009 2:02PM
Wait a minute, why would you make a control scheme UNLOCKABLE?
AnkleSpankle @ Oct 28th 2009 2:18PM
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.
under13warrior @ Oct 28th 2009 2:20PM
Yes my Japanese PSN account will go to good use!

Why is the model of Snake's face frakking amazing but his arms look like they were rendered on an N64?
The Pirate @ Oct 28th 2009 2:35PM
Human instinct is to look people in the face first. So they poured most of the resources into facial textures.
HUPextreme @ Oct 28th 2009 6:21PM
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.
