Portable Ops and Peace Walker, classy choices
I’ve wanted to do a Carter’s Quest style assignment for theMetal Gearseries for a long, long time. It’s an insane prospect though, as there are so many entries, spinoff and core, to wade through and wrap my head around again (a list that now includesMetal Gear Survive).
Every time I think about what my favorite entries might be I have to do a double-take, but the currently attached director of theMetal Gearfilm seems to have some firm thoughts. Just recently over Twitter, Jordan Vogt-Roberts (who is coming off of the commercially successfulKong: Skull Island), shared his two picks —Portable OpsandPeace Walker.
In his full statement Vogt-Roberts noted: “Just putting it out there thatPortable OpsandPeace Walker. are two of the most brave and affecting entries in theMGSseries and I don’t think they get the attention they deserve because they were on the PSP.” It’s a fair point, because while the PSP was popular in Japan, a lot of folks missed out on several gems in the west.
Vogt-Roberts has been attached since 2014 to this project — so provided that it doesn’t fall through it sounds like it’s in capable hands.
