"MGS will always be around" - Kojima News
PlayStation 3 News by Ellie Gibson
Hideo "This is the last one no it's not yes it is oh go on then" Kojima has said he may lend a hand with the next instalment in the Metal Gear Solid series.
As reported last week MGS4 is unlikely to mark the end of the franchise - though it will conclude Solid Snake's story. "I always tried to finish the story in each game," Kojima told Reuters. "But by some miracle in MGS4 I was able to resolve the mysteries left behind in past games and resolve the side stories from past games."
He added, "I'm not a genius like George Lucas." No one is sir. "I didn't have this story planned out."
According to Kojima, the future of the series will depend on the demand from fans. "MGS will always be around," he said. "I feel a responsibility to continue this series as long as users demand it. But it doesn't mean I'm going to sit in completely.
"I'll probably take a different role in the next game. Maybe I'll sit in as producer and let the young staff take control of the new series. I really want to go on to new things."
Different media, perhaps? "When entertainment becomes digital there can be a great collaboration between games and other kinds of entertainment, like movies or even novels," Kojima observed.
"All these things might form together to form a coherent medium. The trend is there, things are happening and I believe that convergence will happen sooner or later."
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is out on 12th June, and you can read what we reckon to it right now.

Maybe Lucas and Kojima should switch. Then we'd have a Metal Gear with an awful side-character that speaks funny and talks about "poodoo", as well as over using CG even if it's a video game.
Then Kojima can make a very long, thought provoking but really confusing Star Wars. And make Jar Jar a ninja. Heck, make everyone ninjas. |

Lucas a genius? Pull the other one. He converts "The Hidden Fortress" to sci-fi during a lull in US cinema and suddenly the sun shines out his arse.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hidden_... Having said that, I do love the original Star Wars films. Apart from the ewoks (should have kept them as wookies). |

Just have a clone of solid snake turn up and have done with it! After all snake is simply a genetically enhanced clone of big boss. Can pretty much guarantee that the new snake will be something along those lines. Call him gaseous snake.....er maybe not...
@System All Lukas took from that film was the way the story is told from the point of view of the comedy relief (in his case that's the droids). Pretty much how cinema has been since it's inception i.e. copy and better that which has gone before.

@ Holy:We've never made a film but then we've never said we could.
Criticising people who criticise, that's original. If we're not allowed to think someone isn't good at something then that applies to you too. Therefore all the music ever made you MUST like or at least must NEVER say you don't like it. Don't like Rap? Tough. Don't like Classical? Tough. Don't like anything anyone did ever? Tough. |

@ MrCrun
Actually i'm an extremely open minded person. I wouldn't say there's any genre of music/movies/games that I dislike. If I like it, I like it, the genre is irrelevant to me. But that's not my point. This whole Lucas bashing thing is just ridiculous, like he has no talent. Anyone who thinks that is an idiot. Sure the prequels were disappointing but everyone fucks up. The Matrix sequels were disappointing, doesn't mean the first one was a fluke or shit. Also THX 1138 and American Graffiti were great movies. And not to mention creating Indy. Sure he's not a favourite of mine, but just joining the mob to insult him is just pretty lame in my opinion. He's brought me hours of enjoyment, which I will hold in a higher regard then the hours I spent watching movies of his I was disappointed by. The end. |
