The release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is an earthquake in the world of video games, since we are talking about one of the most valued sagas in history and also about the master's final work Hideo Kojima, since it seems that his relationship with the saga will end here, and this edition also closes the gap that was left in history and that fans of the saga demanded so much.
Official App
Little by little, all the developers are encouraged to launch official applications to complement their video games, and Metal Gear Solid V is no exception. Konami has wanted to provide its star video game with an official application to complement it from day 1 of its launch, although Xbox One users have found the unpleasant news that at the moment it is not compatible with their video console, although Konami He has promised that soon it will be.
Kojima's idea is that we use our smartphone as a support for help the game, providing us with the necessary support to get through the chapters of the game successfully and with the best possible grade. There will be those who think that perhaps it is more distracting than helpful, but at least it is good to have the option of using the app associated with the game instead of not being able to use anything.
iDROID
The main use that we can give to the application is to make iDROID, the system that we also have available in the game and that allows us to explore the maps of the missions, as well as ask our allies for help without having to open the menu in the game and all from our iPhone.
On the other hand Konami has also included the possibility of listen to the songs included in the game at any time, without the need for the game to be open on the console. Obviously the songs unlocked will depend on our progress in the game, so when this function is most useful it is once we have advanced in it.
The application requires a WiFi connection to function as iDROID, while for the use of audio it is enough to have a data connection. It should also be noted that as expected, the application is completely free and does not have associated payments or integrated purchases, so what we download is what we have from the first moment.
