Kojima's next project hinted at during MGS4 press event

by Alexander Sliwinski { May 13th 2008 at 9:00PM }

1UP's man on the ground at the Japanese Metal Gear Solid 4 press event has translated a clip that possibly hints at Hideo Kojima's next project. In an audio clip where attendees could only hear one half of a conversation between MGS character Revolver Ocelot and an unknown person, Ocelot explains that he just finished the press conference, right before he mentions "The Project" and "the sequel."

Konami president Fumiaki Tanaka already said in March that Kojima's next project is outside the Metal Gear universe. As for "the sequel," it could point to a new Zone of Enders or Snatcher, but that's all just rumor and speculation for now.

I know i've said this before, but legend has it that he's working with Suda 51 on something codenamed "Project S"

Revolver Ocelot? The same guy who ripped off somebodies arm and graphed it onto himself to gain his arm/personality. I'm sure this game will make plenty of sense too.

Haha. +1

Somebody hasn't seen Doctor Strangelove.

Alien Limb is a real disorder, albeit a rare and really fuckin' weird one. I don't think a transplanted limb would have a mind of it's own, though.

holyice7 @ May 13th 2008 9:15PM

Boktai! Boktai!

DangerMouse @ May 13th 2008 9:16PM

New snatcher would be nice, but i can't see how he'd continue the series.

Bryan Young @ May 13th 2008 9:21PM

Wait. So is Konami and Kojima going the whole Recon armor route that Bungie took?

Cesaria (MKW:2621-2994-1376) @ May 13th 2008 9:21PM

I would love to see what Kojima could do with the Wii. It's a perfect fit for him and I have no doubts he could create something totally unique, despite the fact that he prefers to develop for the more high end consoles. *sad panda*

el serpiente @ May 13th 2008 11:56PM

If Kojima felt that the PS3 limited his vision, I can't imagine he would be very happy with the wii hardware.

ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ May 14th 2008 2:47AM

I thought that he said once that he was interested in developing for the Wii, but couldn't because he was so caught up with MGS4.

Cesaria (MKW:2621-2994-1376) @ May 14th 2008 10:20PM

Why in the hell was that voted down? Did I offend someone with my statement? Good job dumb fucks.

PointyThings @ May 13th 2008 9:28PM

He has the Midas touch. Please make another game Kojima, ZOE, Snatcher, I'd buy it.

waynski1457 @ May 13th 2008 9:30PM

You said ZotE. I think I just sharted in exitement, but I've completely come to terms with the fact that I'm a weeaboo. I just want more ZotE!!

Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ May 13th 2008 9:41PM

Rumors of ZOE 3 has been circulating for a while and he even said he wanted to do it. By christ let it happen, please?

Tim The Enchanter @ May 13th 2008 10:07PM

Hellz yeah! I miss that game...

Playboy X - My Avatar Actually Changed @ May 13th 2008 9:45PM

A little off-topic, did any one here PRE-ORDER?

The_Punisher @ May 13th 2008 9:52PM

Yep, LE too :).

Kodros @ May 14th 2008 12:20AM

Of course.

el serpiente @ May 14th 2008 12:54AM

I pre-ordered the shit out of it.

NESv1 @ May 13th 2008 9:49PM

I figured he'd be working on Assassin's Creed 2, since he seems to really favor that franchise (the Altair costume, etc)

Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ May 13th 2008 11:59PM

That certainly explains all the time Kojima spent developing ther Ape Escape series or Godzilla games.... wait...

finaldarklord @ May 13th 2008 10:11PM

SNATCHER! Come on Kojima, seriously. Snatcher.

ScottyGEE32 @ May 13th 2008 10:17PM

Its gonna be a game where all of Konami's characters duke it out and try knock each other off platforms.

By the third sequel, Miyamoto will be begging Kojima to put Mario in.

Xeno @ May 13th 2008 10:55PM

Please be Snatcher. Please be Snatcher. Please be Snatcher.

GoonieGooGoo @ May 14th 2008 2:46AM

Worst kept secret in the history of games...

Its going to be SNATCHER.

Snatcher (MDF - Halo Ring) @ May 14th 2008 2:49AM

WOW! Am I the only one stoked for a new Snatcher?? I guess there arent too many folks on here who had the SegaCD back in the day, but Snatcher was was a beautiful game that was waaay ahead of its time. It's one of my all time favs and I would love to see a sequel. He better go full out with it though just like the new MGS. It's like a playable BLADERUNNER. Awesome.
