TGS 2009: Kojima toyed with shocking, 'transforming' controllers for MGS4

In one of a series of videos released by Microsoft of developers offering their thoughts on Project Natal, Kenichiro Imaizmu, producer of the Metal Gear Solid series at Kojima Productions, revealed that Hideo Kojima had been leading the design of a custom controller for use with Metal Gear Solid 4.

Does that leading design of a controller also come with Trophy Support for MGS4?

[The real killer]

I hope so, MGS4 is best game in 2008, i still delight with it when i play the game :)

EDIT

I got a disagree because i love MGS4 if i play the game? strange birds around here.

[chaosatom]

Looks like certain people are jealous that they didn't get to play MGS4.

[Sarcasm]

Cue the "MGS4 is going to the 360" just because Natal is mentioned in the same article as MGS4.

[foxtheory]

Downing MGS4 and then turns arounds and wants it for the 360. Logical? I think not.

EDIT @below: lolz!! I just noticed that. And now I look like an ass :P

Go ahead and hit me with disagrees, I think I deserve em!!

[coolirisGB]

It's just you ;)

Edit

And him.

Ironically you're commenting to yourselves?

@#5

The Japanese developers are not getting payed by Microsoft and their not doing Microsoft PR.

These are the reasons.

*Fits a Japanese vision of the future which they are known for.

*They wan't to pioneer the tech to put the Japanese market back on top.

*They sense the explosion of success and wan't to make money while controlling the tech as leaders.

*Become accustomed with the tech first so the Japanese developer community can once again regain elite status of the word of deveopers

*Simply are amazed by the tech and reminds them of one of the movies or anime show they watched last night lol

*They sense Natal will be appealing to the Wii demographic and hardcores and would destroy the chance of growth if they miss the train.

@ coolirisGB

so japanese envision the future of old tech like dvd9?

[Why dis]

Maybe you should show they something on Blu-ray that will get them excited? lol

Should devs not support PS3 because of the old tech *RSX*?

[Timesplitter14]

How ~shocking~

edit : Jesus, you guys go buy yourselves a sense of humour on amazon.

"MGS4 coming to xbox360"

[Handsome_Devil]

you actually read the article,

[blackbeld]

Keep on dreaming bots... it's not gonna happen......

[El Botto]

"METAL GEAR SOLID 4 ON THE 360 IS CONFIRMED!!!!"

[Saaking]

MGS4 is not possible on the 360. Besides, do the bots really want a near 2 year old game? idk, but with rising coming to PS3/360 there's no reason to port AAA GOTY PS3 Exclusive MGS4 to the failbox.

[happyface]

why is Mr Kojima-san doing PR for M$ now?

what a total sellout, he should be helping the PS3

[ZombieAutopsy]

he said it himself "I dont make games for platforms, i make them for gamers"

[zeeshan]

Why should he help PS3? He is a game developer and he is in the business to make some money y'know. It's not like he owes Sony something, it should be the other way around. Sony should support Kojima productions to gain support for their PS3 in return. You just can't expect Kojima-San to be loyal to Sony all the time because he has no reason to do that.

MGS4 on 360 is NOT possible so I am not sure why some guys think that he is working on MGS4 for Natal.

[kenpachi]

release that instead MGS Rising

[cmrbe]

this would have been perfect.

[DigitalAnalog]

Wow, what's up with this gaming generation. Makes me wish the PS4 or the 720 would be pushed 10 years later.

New controller, Natal, SONY motion controllers......

[savage-muse]

"We tried running electric shock waves, install a pulse reader ... we also tried to build a controller that's receptive to the strength of the [player's] grip," he divulged. "We tried a lot, even a transforming controller." sounds scary if u ask me....so it it will transform into.....?

[pixelsword]

"!"

Did you like that?

[CobraKai]

First it was Force Feedback.
Then it was Motion Sensing.
The future will be Pain Sensation.

[Ninjamonkey]

Can you imagine playing online you know when you shot someone with a sniper rifle in the leg and its insta kill...

Imagine being on the recieving end knowing it only hit your leg XD

"OUCH!!!... wait... Im DEAD??? WTF you hit my LEG FFS!!!"

*throws away controller*

[kaveti6616]

Kojima is a mysterious guy to me. Can anyone recommend any books on this guy? He intrigues me because he's Japanese yet the Metal Gear Solid story seems so patriotically American in some aspects.

[PirateThom]

I don't think any biographies of him exist. I would love to read an autobiography if he ever gets time to write one though.
