Hideo Kojima threatens to take his ball home again
Balloon-headed madness rides again.
Speaking at the PlayStation Experience last week, acclaimed Konami producer and Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima said that Metal Gear Solid 3 will be his last game in the series. The world was shocked. Or was it?
Indeed, Kojima made such spurious comments during the pre-launch hype of Sons of Liberty two years ago.
As pointed out by Kikizo, when he was asked about the possibility of a sequel Kojima said, “If MGS3 happened, I would work more as a producer like Sakaguchi-san works on the Final Fantasy games, and let a younger, new director take on the main creative duties. If that happens, it'll be MGS3, but it won't be a 'Kojima' Metal Gear... It will work more as the vision of someone else. Personally speaking, I would like to work on something else.”
So is MGS3 a Kojima game? It certainly seemed so last week. And will it be the last from the great man in the series? Judging by this, we very much doubt it.
