There's one thing we need to get cleared... by reading your mind with Metal Gear Solid, I don't mean by giving you a great game that gamers wanted - it was a great game, no doubt about it, but those that played the game will remember one of the boss battles, and specifically I'm talking about the one against Psycho Mantis... for those that don't, let me tell you....
Psycho Mantis, as the first part of his name may suggest was Psychic (and a Psycho),and could hence read your mind (hence the play on words in the title...), and what that meant, was that whatever action you took in the game to try and kill him, he'd know what you were doing and counter it. But how do you defeat him you ask? Well that was quite simply... you simply removed your controller from Port 1 and Plug it into Port 2. And wallah, you'll notice how he is no longer able to read your mind.... As the title of this article suggests, Hideo Kojima may be getting up to his old tricks again... however in the interests of those not wanting to be spoiled, I'll warn you NOT to click on the source unless you absolutely want to know... so bewere SPOILERS AHEAD
We spoke to one of the few US journalists that have played the full game and under condition of anonymity, and they agreed to divulge a few gameplay elements that gamers have never been exposed to before. Although most folks laugh at Sonys implementation of motion controls, after playing MGS4 with the DUALSHOCK3 controller, you just might change your mind!

And the eye isea would probably look stupid.
that has to be some of the oddest (and coolest) ways to use a DS3
i wont say what, case those wo dont wanna know read this
Would be pretty awesome though. Lol what if someone walked in on you with your eyes close and two controllers on your head.
Unles, you were all going along with the joke, I am sorry for ruining it.
Changing controller ports shouldn't have an affect at all of him reading your actions, right there is a tip off its fake.
Maybe it is true, who knows...would be great if it were.
Especially the interrogation part and the crawling part.
That was REAL! In MGS on the Playstation, you needed to change ports on your PS1 to beat him. Though apparently you can shoot the statues to make him vulnerable for a moment...
Yeah, at first I was like "Damn, maybe THAT is why the bundle comes with 2 controllers?"
But yeah, apparently a fake...But I honestly wouldn't put it past Kojima to do this sort of stuff >_>
If someone shows the article to Kojima, I wonder if he'll be like "Damn, wish I thought of that!"

Tbh, I'm a bit disappointed that this article turned out to be fake. I would love to see something new implimented with the controllers... and MGS4 is perfect for something like this.
Having Psycho Mantis screw around with the controller, TV, and memory card in MGS1 was fantastic. It's a shame that similar ideas weren't used for MGS2 and MGS3 (and possibly MGS4).
