Though most remember it as part of an elaborate troll job by Hideo Kojima, Konami and Kojima Productions, Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops is an actual game. It’s coming soon for Japan’s GREE social networking platform, and a new movie has been released showcasing the gameplay elements. And that’s all we’ve got so far.
From what the trailer shows, Social Ops appears to be part turn-based strategy, part tactical stealth, part collectible card game and part “huh?”. It brings Metal Gear Acid to mind, which wouldn’t be bad. Who thinks it’ll catch on?
