How Metal Gear Solid's Artist Helped Pacific Rim
In this bonus video interview, we steer away from our month of coverage on Metal Gear Solid V to share the inside story on an unexpected collaboration. Metal Gear Solid's art director Yoji Shinkawa is well known for his designs of multiple Metal Gears and the orbital frames in Zone of the Enders, but his work with Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim was his first entry into the world of Hollywood films. To learn more about Shinkawa's career working on Metal Gear Solid, check out our video interview about his past and the future of the series.
Watch the video below to learn how this collaboration happened and the only aspect of the work that disappointed Shinkawa.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
