MGS: Peace Walker Gets J-Popped
Posted in Gaming by lunarskye | Tags: Gaming, Hideo Kojima, Kojima Productions, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, PV
Last week, amongst the recent rash of Peace Walker gameplay trailer releases, Kojima Productions let loose with a peppy promotional video featuring Paz (voiced by Nana Mizuki) singing “Love Deterence.”
The choice of music and style of the video caught many fans off guard, and some even flamed up about it, complaining about its inconsistency with the game and series. I for one can’t see why anyone would a) take it so seriously or b) get up in arms about it. If you’re a fan of MGS and Kojima, you should be able to lighten up and understand the humor involved.
While watching the PV, I could not help but wonder when Snake and his CQC-ing soldiers would join in and get their dance on. It’s totally something I could see them doing, and apparently that was part of the original concept: having Snake and his crew dance, squat, and do pushups to the music. Alas, they wimped out and decided to forgo taking it that far. Even so, I found the PV oh so amusing.
Although the video was produced by the Kojima Productions demo staff, Kojima himself did admit to being behind the “peek-a-boo” aspect of Paz’ wardrobe (see above pic). He also took it upon himself to reiterate via twitter that the PV was a playful exercise to explore Paz as a character and not a detriment to the seriousness of the actual game.
Check out the PV after the jump, and look out for the HEAVENS DIVIDE maxi single due out April 7th.

Awesome. I had to watch that video a dozen times. Every time I was waiting for Snake and the soldiers on the beach to be backup dancers, the scene demands it, but there’s no delivery.
I don’t get why anybody would get upset over it, a big part of MG over the years has been it’s sense of humor. Lest we forget, our great hero Solid Snake is a pervert.
