Kojima wants to make games until he dies

Space: Killer of dreams since the beginning of time.

Aeronautical is about flying, not outer space.

This means there is going to be many mgs games to come (In a good way)

And I will play them all.

I remember however, in an EDGE interview, his anxiety about getting other (non-MGS) work done quickly, like a fear of being 'over the hill'. While he says he'll make games until death, I wonder what his thoughts are about older game designers, or being one himself.

Are there many 60+ game producers/directors?

And I hope to continue playing Kojima games until the day I die.

Hope he'll squeeze in a Snatcher remake.

Cool guy.

Just no more MGS, please, Mr. Kojima UNLESS u either learn how to tell a story or get someone else who is a bit more professional than u at that. MGS4, while a fun ride and technical masterpiece, had such a long winded, ridiculously corny, over the top and non-sensical (is that a word?) storyline made me want to yak several times over. And I've been riding with u sense the very first MG and have noticed a lot of this over the series.
Other than that, I welcome u staying alive to cookup some other marvelous ish.

I have a lot of respect for this man. Even more so now.

It's official, they're forcing the poor man to make games. Didn't he say in the past several times he wanted to stop? Maybe that was just MGS?

Whatever, it's more fun to think they're forcing him to make awesome. I'm thinking they've threatened his family...

Good for him - I hope I can find a job someday that I'd want to do until the day I die. I'm not a believer in retirement at all - the idea simply means you do something you don't care for for 30-40 years, and then spend your twilight years doing what you actually want to do... life's too short for that.

I'm sure EA would agree to work him until he dies.

If that's how he wrapped up MGS4, I'm concerned about what he thinks is good storytelling. I'm hoping he tackles some new IPs not weighed down by years of loose ends that we never meant to be clumsily tied together.

how about a compromise. he can go into space then make games about space

Konami will just upload his consciousness into an A.I. program which will then take over the company, producing MGS games every three years till eternity.

Oh god PLEASE! Someone kill him now -- I don't want any more of his $h##y games mega-hyped in my face

you know, you can just say the word shitty. or is mum reading over your shoulder?

Make games or die tryin'

Popfrogs - Read thoroughly before responding to someone - "And I've been riding with u sense the very first MG and have noticed a lot of this over the series." Guess u didn't see that part of what I originally wrote. I love half cocked responses, just love em. Keep em coming, frog.

Noah - You're a bit on what I was saying so we pretty much agree. In truth, I think I dealt with a lot of the MG series story because I started off with the first MG as a youngster and a long the way, I grew up and matured, experiencing great story and such from either reading, movies or what have u. Once a person heightens it's level of intelligence, some things that may have appealed as a kid growing up, no longer do. I think MGS 2 is where I really grew to see how horrible of a story teller Kojima is. I think there are a couple reasons why - Japanese story telling is a bit convoluted, to begin with. It's in their culture and one can see the difference between American story telling and theirs in their movies. Too many layers that take it in different places. Then there is Kojima's love of American cinema. He thinks it's cool to reference American cinema and I think it comes off real weak.
Also, MGS 2 is where the actual voice acting and more cinema kicked in due to the power of the PS2. Turned my stomach since...
