Not Neccessaraly MGS4 news but moar people can see it here

Quote:
 
Ryan Payton (hats, in tow) has left Kojima Productions. The Assistant Producer spearheaded a more Western approach to controls for Metal Gear Solid 4, making the game far more approachable and much tighter than the previous installment. He also helped warm the MGS4 team up to more Western developed games like Gears of War as well.

Thats right, The guy some MGS snobs despise for westernising MGS has now GONE. My only comment on this new? FUCK YES.

One thing you must think about though, Whats gonna happen to the Integral Podcast now?

You're lying, I've been you

This is the best news in the MGS universe for years now.

First thing that came to my mind was about the podcast as well. But personally I didn't care for the one we got so I wasn't one of the people looking forward to the next. To much of a bore for me.

You see he does mention MGS5 like it is a certainty. Which disappoints me to no end.

Fetish for you.
That was suprising.

I guess they recorded all the integral podcasts before he left then. Otherwise someone else is doing them.

Still wating for one...

Really have no idea what everyone is talking about. It was still Metal Gear, and one hell of a game. I liked the guy.

I know. But it's still one of three reasons why the current series was called MGS.
Keeping the name for nostalgic reasons isn't that bad of an idea though.

Feel Me Deep!

and i was wondering if those podcast would ever come... i guess not. im guessing the japanese have theirs already.

its a shame really, i kinda disliked him at first for a very long time, but i warmed up to the guy after listening to so many podcasts (and he did call me "Hardcore" lol) and after seeing how MGS4 turned out with all the so called "western" influences.

Ryan Payton i dedicate this song to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpPH7deyMRI

p.s. BTW i hate that fucking song.

micster should make him a tribute video... with a twist

Yes, that's a spring roll.

This needed to happen about a year and a half ago.

Ok. I know the name and everything... but why do you all hate hit? Plus, what was wrong with the new game? The gameplay was by far the easiest controls to use, best camera angles, and everything for someone like the likes of me.

Why do you all despise this guy?

That 'article' was incredibly moronic.
And the hate towards him is still silly. MGS4 had great gameplay, and I never regreted the changes they made to the control scheme.

Meh. A few months ago I would have responded with various swear words and derogatory remarks towards Payton, but after the gameplay brilliance of MGS 4, I'm rather saddened to be honest. Oh well, maybe it will be good to get some new blood into the team. I only hope that we don't ever hear that Shinkawa is leaving the team, I consider his work to be the key component of what I feel to be MGS, perhaps even more than Kojima.

I never even heard of this guy other than in the podcast, so I dunno why it's good or bad that he's gone.

Wonder why he mentions MGS5, he talks like they are really going to make it.

Finally some good news involving R. Payton. For me it would be more likely if he got fired instead of him leaving. Now that I know this I honestly wouldn't mind for there to be a new game in the MGS series.

Don't tread on me.

All I know about the guy is what I saw in the Blu-Ray that came with Guns of the Patriots. I don't hate him based on that or anything else I've seen of him or heard come out of his mouth, but I do hate how many have asininely perceived him as some sort of "western ambassador" or a "dam to Kojima's river of insanity". I must say, I loved the controls in the last instalment.

im not really too famiuler with the guy either. im kinda curious why everyone hates him so much? just because of the controlls? i actually really enjoyed the game play and controlls. MGS 3 was hard as hell because of the camera angles and shit. i could never point the camera a head to see who was there lol

For me it was a comment by him in an interview where he [appeared to be] claimed he was going to totally overhaul how the game should be played and to optimize it for Western gamers. Plus he cut "a lot" out of the script, which I now take to be the CODEC scenes. But my attitude towards him changed after I played the MGO Beta and saw that the controls and new additions still allowed me to play the way I want. Basically I think it boils down to him being American and the huge amount of influence he seemed to have on MGS 4. I didn't (don't) want an MGS to be like that, I thought that he meant that the game was only going to be like that. I was wrong.
