from 1up~

Metal Gear Solid 4 has been out for several months now, and a lot has happened in that time. PlayStation 3 sales were bumped up for a while, the game has gone cheap in some Japanese stores, and one of the game’s most outspoken producers, Ryan Payton, has left Kojima Productions. Before Payton left, though, we were able to nab the following afterthoughts interview about his experience working on MGS4 for EGM.

Check out the full interview below the cut for word on how Payton was threatened by some especially hardcore fans, what parts of MGS4 required the most tweaking, and how satisfied he is with the project as a whole. Just be careful if you haven’t taken the time to finish MGS4 yet, because spoilers abound.

Stay tuned for Friday, when we’ll publish a new video interview with Payton from the Penny Arcade Expo. One of his final Kojima Productions interviews and one of his first after leaving the company, close together for your reading and viewing pleasure.
