We were all surprised to see a
Metal Gear Solid demo for 3DS. Probably not as surprised, however, as the Kojima Productions staff who didn't know it was being developed. In a
Famitsu interview (translated by
Andriasang), Hideo Kojima described how, after the completion of
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, he secretly assigned a small number of staffers to the project on a different floor of the Kojima Productions office -- causing other Kojipro staff to believe the others were on vacation.
Kojima seems confident that the demo will evolve into a full game, which will probably still be a remake of
Metal Gear Solid 3 -- after
Peace Walker, he wanted to tell the story of The Boss again. "
MGS3's story can't change, so we're thinking of Co-ops, 3D and portable-like elements," Kojima said. The final game may actually look better than the demo, as well. "The high level models are about the same quality as the stuff we made on the PlayStation 3," Kojima said, "although it's tough to see this. If we'd had a bit more time, we could have made something better."
