IGN: Kojima ready to talk Metal Gear Solid 5

Desides · Nov 19, 2011

This should be good.

Next month's Official PlayStation Magazine will feature an interview with the offbeat director in which he'll "openly discuss" his plans for Metal Gear Solid 5 along with his next game Project Ogre.

Little has been revealed about what those plans might be, whether the title has been officially green lit or if the details of MGS 5 currently exist anywhere other than Kojima's fertile imagination.

The developer will also talk about the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Rising and his desire to kill off series protagonist Solid Snake. In Kojima's own words, "Snake was supposed to die".

And now that we have an MGS thread again…

Metal Gear Solid Rising gets new producer

Kojima Productions has confirmed that Yuji Korekado is the new producer of Metal Gear Solid: Rising. Korekado replaces Shigenobu Matsuyama, who previously discussed the game's motion controls.

News of the transition comes via the Twitter feed of Kojima Productions producer Kenichiro Imaizumi (via Andriasang), though he didn't offer any details beyond confirming that Korekado is now the game's "main producer."

Korekado is also currently producing the Zone of the Enders HD Collection, which was announced at E3. While we don't know much about Metal Gear Solid: Rising yet, more information is expected to come at this year's VGAs.

"We'll have to make it"

Speaking about Metal Gear Solid 5, Hideo Kojima said, "I think we'll probably have to make it at some point, but what that will be, we have no idea".

Kojima is distancing himself from the project, however. "As far as my involvement in the project is concerned, [it] probably won't be as much as it was with MGS1 – maybe I can do just one stage! For MGS1 I made the maps myself, laid out the enemy routes myself, did everything hands-on – that level I can't do again," said Kojima in an interview given to Official PlayStation Magazine.

But Kojima aimed to do something similar with Metal Gear Solid 4. "I intended to take it to a certain point and then hand it off, but that didn't work, because it's hard to convey the concept to other people then have them take the reins and carry on and preserve that vision.

"That's why it's easier to have them come up with everything from the start and then take it to the end".

Ok, so let me get this straight. Their in production for Rising, and their thinking about making another game, which is going to be Metal Gear Solid 5? I thought Rising was supposed to be MGS5.

Rising was never supposed to be MGS5.

Kojima separated from the MGS team that’s now working on Rising. He began work on the Fox Engine and he has one or two games in development that probably aren’t Metal Gear. So Kojima can think about making MGS5 because he has little to do with Rising, though he’s probably still supervising.

That makes me very happy. All this time I thought Rising was supposed to be number 5.

No more than Peace Walker was supposed to be 5.

Am I the only one that isn't happy about this? IMO MGS4 wrapped up the story of Big Boss and Solid Snake in the neatest bow I can imagine for a story of that scope. There were almost no questions left unanswered and any major character still alive at the end of it was left in a good place. I have no problem continuing the story of Raiden with new threats but leave Snake alone.

Rising happens both before and after MGS4, meaning that Raiden’s ending in MGS4 actually happens after Rising. So MGS4 ends Raiden’s story as well.

Kojima actually talked in broad strokes after MGS4’s release about what an MGS5 would have to be like given MGS4’s ending, and he said something about a “new Solid Snake for a new age,” probably meaning a new character who would be what Solid Snake would be if he were designed today instead of in the ‘80s.

Any chance Metal Gear Solid Rising comes out this summer?

Desides · Nov 28, 2011

Yes, but more likely it'll be out this time in 2012. E3 will reveal all.
