Exclusive: Hideo Kojima talks METAL GEAR SOLID Movie

Collider writes: "Earlier tonight I was on the red carpet of the Video Game Awards and I landed a bunch of interviews with some cool people. In the next day or so I'll have all of them online…but since I landed an interview with Hideo Kojima…I figured that's the one I should post first. For those not familiar with Hideo's name, he's the creator of the extremely popular series Metal Gear Solid.

While I'm sure many of you out there would have some great questions for Hideo on the MGS series and why he chose to have certain things happen to the various characters, since I run a movie site…I decided to focus my limited time on the still being developed Metal Gear Solid movie and what's the status."

Talk about mgs5 not a mgs movie... :(

Xandet6024d ago

I'm just satisfied in knowing he'll be as involved as he can with the project. With his brain behind the MGS movie, at least we know when (or if) it comes out that it'll be worth admission.

As for MGS5, he does mention he's thinking about having a new Metal Gear game around the film's release! There's something to get excited about if it actually comes to fruition..

va_bank6024d ago

Kojima needs to get it out of his system - he's been talking about making movies for a while. I loved MGS4, but I would gladly trade a few hours of cutscenes for a few more hours of gameplay.

Kojima is a brilliant (if not the MOST brilliant) game designer, but I don't think he will succeed at making movies. And if he fails, we'll be happy to have him back, making games.

Panthers6024d ago

If they make a movie, I hope they follow the story line of the first MGS, or MGS3. I hate when they come up with new stories. I mean they didnt do that for LoTR. They never do that with books. Why do it with games?

hay6024d ago

I'm deeply intrigued by this movie-game hybrid they were talking about. Snatcher was one of the best games I ever played and it was more like a interactive story than a game to be precise. Can't wait to see what Kojima-san will brew.

Elimin86024d ago (Edited 6024d ago )

If you listened, he said he won't be directing but will be involved extensively or as close as possible to make sure it's Metal Gear. And if there is any indication that his input will be very well implemented just look no further than the cutscenes of MGS 4. everyone raved about it being movie quality story and cutscene wise. Even I. I think it will be good, but I think they should go animation computer or otherwise, because I can't visualize any actor today that can pull off the Snake look let alone voice. ...... BTW Looking forward to whatever game he is working on at the moment.

Violater6024d ago

Don't sleep on Kojima, he understood everything that the interviewer was saying and could have answered in English.
He is such a humble, cool and relaxed dev.

jaysquared6024d ago

Didn't the movie come out already in MGS4? hhehe

va_bank6024d ago

"just look no further than the cutscenes of MGS 4"

The cutscenes in MGS4 is exactly WHY I said what I said. They were drawn out to the point where the converstions became so long, that you would forget what was said earlier. They could have been condensed by 20-30%, in my opinion. It's fine to have them in a game where your experience can last from 10 to 40 hours, but in a movie when you have to fit everything into 2-3 hours, you have to express yourself a bit more concisely.

PotNoodle6024d ago

Most likely just writing scripts for it and just plotting out the general plan for the film, everything inbetween will most likely done by professionals.

Enigma_20996024d ago

At this rate, we're never gonna see what else he has planned... everybody wants to see anothe Metal Gear Solid.... Snake's story is done. I'm satisfied... let's see what else he can pull off...

PS3 Zone of the Enders, anyone?

Light Yagami6024d ago

I thought MGS4 was a movie? The controller spent the whole time on my lap.

I wish he was making it.MGS1 is one of my favorite movies

George Sears6024d ago

I know that your comment was made to be taken lightly but MGS really didn't have that much cut scenes. MGS2 was so so on the cutscene department, there were more Codec conversations than anything. I'll say that MGS3 was the one that started giving us a lot of cut scenes but they weren't as long as MGS4 though. MGS3 had there moments but MGS4 has a lot more long cutscenes compared to the rest.

Zolin6024d ago

I hope the movie turns out good not like the other game movies that sucked ( doom , street fighter , and i cant think of more).

solsub6024d ago

I'm with you on that. I'm a bit more confident now that we're guaranteed Kojima's involvement in the project.

You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.

Metal Gear Solid 3 Eva's Voice Actor Finally Revealed After 20 Years

After over 20 years of fan speculation and theories, Metal Gear Solid 3's Eva voice actor has finally been revealed.

SimpleDad218d ago

OMG they fixed her... Yes... oh I'm gonna buy this game again it's ridiculous!

cell989218d ago

Well that's awesome!! I would have never guessed

KwietStorm_BLM218d ago

What do dey got a lot o sand? We got a hot crustacean band🦀

BISHOP-BRASIL218d ago

I'll save you the click. It was Jodi Benson (The Little Mermaid), 20 years ago they decided to credit her under a pseudonym so the M rated game would not conflict with her family friendly voice acting curriculum back when that was still a concern with Disney.

Why Metal Gear Solid 3 is the Best Prequel Ever Made

With Metal Gear Solid Delta on its way, we look back to see how the original Snake Eater is the foundation on which the entire Metal Gear series is built and is without doubt the greatest prequel ever made.

just_looken364d ago (Edited 364d ago )

The fact you can kill the end by either changing your console clock or my way when he is on the dock is such a cool Easter egg.

My video/play through i time coded the part of end getting killed at the dock
https://www.youtube.com/liv...

The river scene with ocelot's dad will also change depending on your kill count
https://www.youtube.com/liv...

So many things that can change on each playthrough

Oh also the iconic ladder scene always a classic
https://www.youtube.com/liv...

just_looken364d ago

wait are people upset i gave out spoilers on a 20 year old ps2 game?

Like for real this was on top of alot of charts for sales with so many different versions

SimpleDad364d ago

There are many people (new) that didn't experience the game dude.

just_looken364d ago

It's 20 years old man these new "gamers" are weak

No one here ever turn on a history channel or go to school there are scary spoilers there too.

Getting hate for talking about a 20year old game on a comment section with a article that talks about the 20year old game with spoilers in the article

" original Snake, aka Big Boss, whose DNA was used to create the clones Solid, Liquid and Solidus"

Quick call 911 IGN spoiled the game

Chard364d ago

Wait til he realises there are people born years after MGS3 released who are now getting into mature gaming

just_looken364d ago

@chard

I was watching robocop before i grew chest hair are you seriously saying people only play M rated games after they turn 17?

Chard363d ago (Edited 363d ago )

@just_looken
That’s not what I’m saying at all.
Im referring to the weird conclusion you jumped to, which is that anyone who hasn’t played MGS3 by now took too long and are also weak for being bothered by spoilers this long after the original release.

Plenty of people without chest hair will try this remake as their first exposure to MGS3. It’s not somebody’s fault or weakness if they were born in 2010 and had better things to do than play MGS3 prior to this remake. The world doesn’t revolve around you

Aphrodia363d ago

And no one who hasn't played this game yet will know what the hell he's referring too. sensitive, delicate, snowflake.....

Have an agree, if people haven't bothered playing a 20 year old game and get mad at spoilers then they should stay out of enthusiast posts.

just_looken364d ago

Right and this article has series/game spoilers

Yui_Suzumiya364d ago

I'll call the WHAMBULANCE for the down voters, lol

just_looken364d ago

Right? like wow perhaps i should post about the gta 3 story in the next article get hate there for spoiling that game.

SimpleDad364d ago (Edited 364d ago )

You really are something. Not only does a world turn around you, but you also are sensitive to 5 dislikes.
Who is weak now?
All remakes are done to bring in a new audience and make new money.
Why would you spoil a game or any kind of media for whatever reason If You experienced it?

Ohhh for your Youtube channel... there it is.

Jesus... imagine if someone commented your gameplay. Badly...

My boys will experience this remake for the first time.

just_looken364d ago

1. Its not the dislikes its many post's on this site and other's always the haters or like you mad about spoilers on old old games.

2. My youtube channel is older that most "gamers" today i lost alot of vids do too youtube bots and yourself has no proof even playing any of the games so go ahead post away on stuff you have no idea how to play.

3. My header is real i used to make a few k or more a month or more with mahcinima when bf/gta/halo/world of tanks were in there prime.Now there is just few vids here there

MeteorPanda364d ago

love it.

Just remember while this game came out years ago, theres a whole generation f gamers who would have never played it. it wasn't current for them.

So the remasters are aimed at bringing in new fans of the franchise, posting these may spoil it for some.

just_looken364d ago

The article literally has spoilers in it who the boss's kid is the eva relationship and entire series information you only get by playing the games.

VersusDMC364d ago

Personally DMC3 is my favorite prequel. MGS3 is top 3 though next to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Kinda surprised Red Dead 2 isn't IGN's pick for best prequel.

just_looken364d ago

Its red dead revolver red dead redemption red dead redemption 2

I am still waiting for a way to turn off kingdom hearts looping music but the collection is cheap on amazon for those wanting 2 play the games.

franwex364d ago

My favorite prequel is Yoshi’s Island.

Yui_Suzumiya364d ago

Dan Salvato's favorite game to speed run

purple101363d ago

thats a real gamer there, someone who plays a hack'n'slash, a stealth, and an aRPG. * claps hands *

Yui_Suzumiya364d ago

Definitely not arguing that 😁

mastershredder363d ago

Ever? So much nopes to this. Also, IGN licks feat for $.
