Not content with totally pwning the PlayStation 3, Solid Snake is aiming for your iPhone. Metal Gear Solid Touch will soon be available at the iPhone's App Store.
According to the just updated site - http://www.touch.konami.jp/mgst/us/pc/index.html#
The shooter allows you to "Experience Metal Gear Solid 4's story as you fight through each action-packed stage. Fierce battles and familiar faces await you around every corner." MGS Touch will take full advantage of the iPhone's finger-sensitive display. The game features "touch-based shooting" where you move your target around with your finger, zoom in and out with a pinch, and squeeze off shots with a quick tap. As you complete levels, the game rewards you with "Drebin Points," redeemable for over 40 Metal Gear wallpapers.
No word yet on a release date or price, but according to the site, the game will come out in two parts: An "advance release" edition that consists of the first part of the game, and the full game. A trailer is coming out soon too.
I'm sad that I won't be able to play Metal Gear Touch on my phone of choice, the Jitterbug. But this might be enough to convince me to make the leap to the iPhone. It's that cool.
Be sure to check out the screens here. http://g4tv.com/xplay/screenshots/2076/ ... index.html
Could be pretty cool, or just plain pointless.
I personally haven't went for an iPhone yet & this wont make me.
