Kojima giving GDC keynote speech News

PlayStation 2 PSP PlayStation 3
News by Robert Purchese

10 February, 2009

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima will be delivering a keynote speech at the Game Developers Conference next month.

He'll be talking about making the impossible, possible, according to the official website. And this will be his first time on stage at the event, which takes place from 23rd to 27th March.

Kojima joins other notable speakers Satoru Iwata, Peter Molyneux and LittleBigPlanet creators Mark Healey and Alex Evans on the list. And they've been on stage before.

Hideo Kojima rocketed to fame for creating the Metal Gear Solid series, but vowed to take a back-seat on the IP after the release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which Oli gave 8/10 to. That's Oli Welsh.

Kojima's not backing out of the industry entirely, though, but working on several games - and one of them will be out this year, apparently.

That sounds impossible, so Kojima may talk about it. And we'll be there with reporting instinct at hand if he does.

It would seem I am the antithesis of awb83's opinion.

As my first reaction it is safe to say, was NOT "cool"

;)

/is still curious as to what he will go on about

8/10 was a bit generous IMO

He is my favorite developer celeb, but hell knows, he always talks in riddles anyway. I think he should just except the fact that he is tied to MGS and start working on MGS5. If he doesn't I hope his new games have such cool characters as his previous games.

If we're lucky he'll hide in a box half way through and someone will shoot him.
