Hideo Kojima on Metal Gear Rising, Ground Zeroes and Next-Gen

The complete interview, only at SPOnG. "Kojima's passion as a game designer - which can put him at odds with his role as a studio leader and producer - can be seen whenever he talks about the industry at large, or when he jokes about pitting Gray Fox against zombies.

Both of these subjects, and more, were discussed at length to SPOnG, focusing on the Metal Gear character of the moment - Raiden. The legendary developer was present to talk about the Metal Gear Rising's development - both at Kojima Productions and at Platinum Games."

You see, That's why i prefer the first version. It felt more special and more exciting because it was original. That's why they need to team up with PG . They make the game more realistic and by doing that we will get a lot more options and new interesting things like cutting everything in an open world just like what it planed to be. PG job is to make the gameplay fun with Kojima team vision..

It would be one of the best games i ever play !!! >.< ..

Kojima also need to trust his fans. They will buy ground zero whether it's headed for mature or not. MGS4 was mature for me in it's time so it's a normal move to evolve and take the firt step to make part of gaming serious..

With Ground Zeros I would like the single player experience you would expect from MGS but with the new Metal Gear Online I would like a separate co-op campaign an well as online versus.

Good interview from sponge.

Metal Gear Rising is a must. Just give it a try and you love it. Its a good spinoff.

Can't wait for MGS5

ha! my man, kojima san, talking about schedules. how many times was mgs4 delayed? O.o

[Energy-HL]

Most likely get slated for this... I think Kojima should of considered giving the studio the task of making Rising to Acquire the makers of the original Tenchu games and Shinobido series.

[Energy-HL]

Not hating on rising btw, not played it yet maybe I will like it.

[RyuX19]

Oh they made Way of the Samurai? Eh I'd rather they not touch MGR to be honest. I haven't played Shinobido though so maybe their ninja games are better.

[RyuX19]

Have they made any games this gen?

[Energy-HL]

Yes I believe they have made Shinobido 2 for PS vita, Way of the Samurai 3 for 360/PS3, Way of the Samurai 4 for PS3, Tenchu: Shadow Assassins for Wii. There are a couple of less known titles as well.

[TheBardsSong]

Is it just me or is this the CVG interview with the CVG questions removed?

[Goyougoodthing]

It was a round-table interview with several journalists in attendance, including this one asking his own questions.

[TheBardsSong]

Ah, makes sense.

[ZBlacktt]

" Actually, I wasn’t too worried about [how Platinum would handle the franchise]. I was more worried about how users would react. But, because this is a spinoff - it’s not a numbered game in the series that features Snake as a main character - I wanted the team to be able to relax. "

Like we've been saying all along.

[Omni-Tool]

I can't wait for Ground Zeroes. I want it now.... Right Now!!!!
