Kojima's next could be something 'you always wanted to have'
Mr. Hideo Kojima, you've been hanging out with too many countdown websites. Speaking to IGN at GamesCom, the Metal Gear Solid maestro had little to say about his numerous unannounced projects, but managed to impart just the right amount of ambiguity to leave us checking our watches for the impending announcement of ... well, what is it, exactly?
"The one that I said that I've been wanting to make – this is a new franchise and a new title," he said, confirming at least one fresh property under development alongside Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid: Rising. "For the other couple of titles, it could be something that you always wanted to have. It could be, or it could be something else. It's a matter of the timing of when we can get it out."
Is it a new Snatcher? Zone of the Enders 3? Lunar Knights 2? That does it! Something that we've always wanted to have is ... the ability to read this man's mind. What do you think is tumbling around in there?

How about a *real* MGS5?
Kleptomaniac @ Aug 20th 2009 5:07PM
As much as I love MGS. I think after peace walker and maybe Rising (Will have to see how it turns out) that I want Kojima to do something different. A new I.P and ZOE3 on PS3 are my wishs. Then return to the MGS series with the newer characters introduced in MGS4.
tmacairjordan87 @ Aug 20th 2009 5:10PM
How about we let the MGS (and MG as a whole) series die honorably after a satisfying ending in 4. They're starting to just whore the franchise out now, like Activision does with...well...everything.
Hyams @ Aug 20th 2009 5:16PM
There's only been 4 mainline games in 11 years, only 1 of which has been in this gen.
It's hardly an overplayed franchise, is it?
tmacairjordan87 @ Aug 20th 2009 5:20PM
Don't forget all the psp games, re-releases, VR missions back in the day.

That's the argument I try to make when I see people say Halo is being whored out. 3 main games in 8 years is hardly whoring a franchise out.
On topic, I agree that a "real" MGS5 would be nice, but I really really want a new ZoE. Especially if it means a PSN download of the first two games.
Hyams @ Aug 20th 2009 5:23PM
I haven't played the side games, only the main ones.
Which is why I want a real MGS5, instead of Rising and Peace Walker.
Kleptomaniac @ Aug 20th 2009 5:30PM
Didn't Kojima say he was treating Peace walker as his MGS5? Thats why he kept screaming at E3 "True sequel!!"
PR0F3TA @ Aug 20th 2009 5:37PM
Snakes story is complete in MGS4. I for one loved the ending.
Peace Walker will wrap up Big Boss's life after MGS3 and Portable Ops on the PSP
and Rising is a whore-out of Konami so that MS could say "look we have MGS on teh xbox"... if it plays like a hack and slash I'ma break something
sony boy @ Aug 20th 2009 5:57PM
what's wrong with a psp version??? i mean, why can't the psp have good games that have a main storyline???
simblor @ Aug 20th 2009 5:04PM
I think he's got $$$$ tumbling around in there. But regardless of that, I still REALLY wanna know :( :(
WINterfang @ Aug 20th 2009 5:04PM
Lunars Knights 2? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEAH!.
DeepFriedSushi @ Aug 20th 2009 5:20PM
thought the game kinda sucked especially since the game forces you to use diagonal all the time which on a ds lite can get pretty painful.
WINterfang @ Aug 20th 2009 5:27PM
But...but..but you could make TONRADOUS WIT YUR STALIUS!!!

Yeah but then it will be a Gay porn one and I'm not really into that.
rooshma @ Aug 20th 2009 5:21PM
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

" Kojima's next could be something 'you always wanted to have' "
zero gravity sex in space?
WINterfang @ Aug 20th 2009 5:26PM
That would be very awkward, have you have sex in pool, it gets uncomfortable if you don't have anything solid for someone to hold on or stand.
CLOUD9 @ Aug 20th 2009 5:32PM
That would be awesome. Sex in the pool is awesome.
rooshma @ Aug 20th 2009 5:40PM
I've got something solid...
Lars @ Aug 20th 2009 6:04PM
"That would be very awkward, have you have sex in pool, it gets uncomfortable if you don't have anything solid for someone to hold on or stand."
Yep. And it's always awkward when you accidentally drown your partner.
WINterfang @ Aug 20th 2009 6:12PM
^ O__O.
Sly [Planeteer | Power of Teets & Crumpets] @ Aug 20th 2009 6:29PM
no, sex in the pool is uncomfortable because the water gets rid of all the lube. it's like putting your dick in a dull cheese grater.
Shimrra @ Aug 20th 2009 5:27PM
As much as I would love a Snatcher sequel I doubt it would ever be made just on the simple fact that Snatcher's gameplay just wouldnt sell in todays market.
