In a strange and amazing piece of synergistic cross-promotion, prosthetic manufacturer Open Bionics has teamed up with Konami to create a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Metal Gear Solid themed p🌼rosthetic arm. Based on Venom Snake's design from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the very first model was given to 29-year-old Daniel Melville of Reading, UK and it seems he is pleased with the final result.
"This is unbelievable. It's everything I've ever wanted from a bi𝓡onic arm," said Daniel in an official statement . "I'm an avid gamer and love Metal Gear Solid so much and to actually hav🍸e Snake's arm in real life is just insane." Based on the "Hero Arm" from the company, this new model doesn't come with any offensive capabilities, but it certainly looks stylish as all hell.
Konami's president, Takayuki Kubo, added, "We're incredibly excited to collaborate with Open Bionics, who are at the cutting edge of robotics. We're thrilled to see the iconic Metal Gear aesthetic of Venom Snake and his bionic arm burst out of th🉐e screen and come to life, in a dynamic fusion of technology and design that is changing the lives of upper li🍌mb amputees all over the world."
While obviously not a recreational ✤product for fans, those that fill the bill can and then purchase a . There♋ are other covers available, including from Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
This type of product might seem a little out of left field, but it's actually not the first time that Metal Gear Solid and prosthetic arms have c🐲rossed paths. A few years back, to create a similar arm for James Young after he los🍬t an arm and leg in a railroad accident in 2012. That specific arm was never intended for a public release, but it seems Open Bionics never gave up on creating a consumer model.
Normally promotional items like this reek of tacky sales tactics, but I have to applaud Konami here. People with disabilities are often overlooke🎉d in society, especially when it comes to gaming. That an amputee can now show their love for a franchise with a life-altering prosthetic is heartwarming.
