Check Out The Making of Peace Walker Vol.1

Peace Walker is about to hit retail in a couple of hours, but the promotions aren't done yet. The Kojima Productions blog was updated today with a post titled MGS PW Making Vol.01.

This first in a series of making of videos offers a look at the preparations that went into the big completion ceremony that was held at Akasaka Blitz on April 7. This is the event where all those product tie-ins were announced.

You can see our live blog of the press conference here.

View the making-of video here:

The quality is quite high, so you may want to jump over to YouTube to view in full res.

The clip begins with some congratulatory words from some VIPs. Included in the bunch is Grasshopper Manufacturer's Suda 51, who says he's debating downloading the game or buying it at retail. After clearing it in three days, he hopes to have a heated conversation with Kojima over lunch.

Be sure and watch for the 4:50 mark for the announcement of the Uniqlo t-shirt promotion. Those people dancing around like trendy Uniqlo models aren't actually trendy Uniqlo models. That's the development staff!

Towards the very end of the video, Hideo Kojima makes a post-conference appearance to hand out presents to the fans who covered the event as Twitter reporters.
