Hideo Kojima has an


Recommended Posts

Hideo Kojima is the man behind the infamous Metal Gear series of games, which are perhaps one of the greatest assets Sony have when touting their systems games (both past and present) over their competition. Looks like Sony might be in for a bit of a shock however, as Mr. Kojima himself has stated that he has a strong interest in working on the Xbox 360. This does not mean that Metal Gear Solid 4 is a sure thing for the Xbox 360, but it does add a rather large can of petrol to an already smouldering rumour fire - especially when he says things like this:

"I do have strong interest in creating something for the Xbox 360. In the U.S. and Europe, it is selling, and I think it will sell a lot this year as well. I'm a fan of Gears of War as well, it's very interesting,"

Thats not all. Mr. Kojima has expressed an interest in the Wii and the PC as formats (although MGS 1 is available on the PC and a remake is available on the Gamecube, which would be compatible with the Wii) and is thinking of doing something on them as well.

"Frankly speaking, I want to create something on the PC. It's a multi-platform. I've been regularly studying work on the PC anyways, and I want to provide something as a world-wide platform because of the consequences with timing on the PlayStation platforms, MGS4 is actually for the PS3 only so far?Wii! Yes, I will do it. I'm saying this every day. But first, I have to face this giant that is called Metal Gear Solid 4, so until I'm finished with that, I can't do anything,"

To end his day of rumour making, Mr Kojima took part in a now world class favourite games industry passtime - dumping on Sony.

"I really miss the rumble feature, and I already said to Mr. Kutaragi that I want the rumble feature back,"

Ouch Sony, ouch. Why didn't you just pay those license fees? Whatever Hideo Kojima is up to, he is an unpredictable man who makes great games even if their plot lines can verge on the ridiculous. MGS4 is not coming to the 360 for sure as of yet, but it just got one heck of a lot closer.

You can just tell that Kojima is sick of working on the Metal Gear franchise. He may have had a few side projects along the way (Boktai, ZOE, etc...), but for the most part, the primary focus of his attention since 1998 has been on Metal Gear. Imagine being a brilliant developer working on one project for so long. Clearly, he's ready to branch out, and I wouldn't be surprised if he started a new project for the 360 or Wii after MGS4.

He has previously said that he will make original games for the other consoles, no more Metal Gear stuff. I really hope that ZOE3 is developed either for PS3 or X360, I found the first two great, I'd love a third one! :D

Well duh! Hideo Kojima is a smart man. Anyone could see the PS3 is a sinking ship. From his comments, I would expect MGS4 to be his last PS exclusive game (if it even remains so).
