+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 11, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 11, 2008 Speaking with Japan's Nikkei BP website, Konami president Fumiaki Tanaka revealed that Kojima is working on the concept for a new game outside of the Metal Gear universe. Pressed further on this mystery title, or possibly titles, Tanaka said that he couldn't reveal anything at this point and that a formal announcement won't be coming this year. Instead, we can probably look forward to hearing something after Kojima has written the new title's scenario, which won't happen until after MGS4 has been released and Metal Gear Online has been given a major push.No give aways or hints at all really, just a heads up. Outside of Metal Gear, Tanaka shared a few insights into Konami's development plans as a whole. The company will be releasing remakes of more classic titles and tapping into more classic franchises in the future. Although Tanaka wouldn't get into specifics, he did suggest that download services like Wii Ware could play a role in this effort. Very neat, remakes are always cool. Tanaka made mention of all the major platforms in his discussion with Nikkei, but one in particular got praise: the PS3. In previous interviews, Tanaka has shared his opinion that Sony's online platform for the PS3 fits well with Konami. That stance hasn't changed, he said, noting that the open nature of Sony's online platform, in contrast to the regulations placed on the Wii and Xbox 360 online systems, gives Konami a lot of freedom. Score 1 for PS3 Source: http://psnathome.com/news.php?item.883.2 Does anyone think Kojima can replicate the success of MGS with a completely new title? (no ties, character wise or story to MGS). It's hard to think of this guy and anything other than MGS, but I guess if anyone can make us love a new franchise, it's him :D Good to see MGO online will be getting a good push as well, and it won't just die out amongst all the other online titles.

HawkMan Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Any game can be a success if you throw enough money at it, and he will probably be bathing in money for a new game so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A success in sales, and a success in quality are two different things in my books :p Just look at the bullcrap the Wii can shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy0 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I'd certainly be interested in any game that Kojima makes, seeing as I :heart: MGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom7000 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I doubt we'll see Raiden come out standing by the end of MGS4 :pinch: :pNot a spoiler, I don't know anything, im just stating what I think ;) From the way he simply pwns anything that comes in his path in the demo videos, I doubt he won't be standing! :p Infact, passing of the torch maybe? Who knows, it is after all Snake's last hurrah! As for Kojima, if he can do a storyline as good as Metal Gear on a totally new premise, then I don't see why any future titles shouldn't be as good. Obviously the initial reaction will inevitably be something along the lines of "It's good, very good, but it's not quite MGS" I remember him mentioning after the Wii launch that he'd be doing a title for the Wii, is this still planned or is he over the Wii hype?

Narlzac85 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 ZOE on PS3 would be amazing, ZOE2 was already ridiculous on PS2, I want the homing lasers to target 1000 units at once. But considering the end of ZOE2, I would highly doubt the return of Jehuty or anubis...::sad face:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rofl, as annoying as he was in MGS2, have you seen the new kick ass Raiden in MGS4? Cyborg Ninjas FTW! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
