Metal Gear Solid 4 Tech Demo Shown On NGP

Metal Gear Solid mastermind Hideo Kojima took the stage as this year’s PlayStation Meeting to show off a tech demo of Metal Gear Solid 4 running on the PSP2, or NGP as it’s tentatively known.

While Kojima was keen to note that the demonstration was merely a test, not an actual product, it’s certainly a testament to the NGP’s capabilities. You have to take into account the demo was essentially a quick and dirty port of MGS4 with all original PS3 assets intact. Despite the lack of optimization, NGP runs it admirably.

“This game used the model data and environments from PS3, and it was exported directly to NGP,” said Kojima. Further, he shed light on his envision of cloud gaming, allowing for a seamless experience from console to portable. Players could start a game on PS3 and then continue their progress on NGP, for instance.

“This dream [cloud gaming] is going to come true in the near future. I am currently working on a new project for that dream.”

Kojima's 'cloud' gaming sounds fucking amazing. I wish the PS3/PSP did this for PSX games, and that you did not have to physically transfer the saves back and forth.
