Re: Ideas intended for new IP used in next Metal Gear game instead

Didn't a few of us call this/talk about this a few months ago? That he would use the MGS IP for these new ideas/concepts cause it'd be an easier sell to the suits to get funding with 'MGS' slapped on it instead of going head first in with a new IP?

And for someone who doesn't want to be known as just the 'MGS guy', he's sure making an effort to do stuff outside of 'MGS' :smileyindifferent:

Yeah, we talked about it. I think every game since PO, except MGS4, has been a result of him having an idea and just making an MGS game around it.

 

Even if he made something else after MGS3 he would still be the "MGS Guy". No getting away from it now. :smileymad:

Re: Ideas intended for new IP used in next Metal Gear game instead

Kojima should just go to Konami with the idea for a new MGS title and when he gets the OK to make it, use the funding/budget for a new IP and every time they ask to see it, he tells them it's a secret and he'll blow them away with the rest of the gaming world when he reveals it for the first time at E3/TGS. He'll tell everyone working on if they spill/leak the details that he'll slaughter them and their family

he should go to a new publisher with his idea.

im sure Konami is a factor into why he just keeps making MGS games.

He should kickstart it.  That's the cool thing to do now, right?

 

He really should go to another publisher/break off and become independent.  He could still work on MGS every now and then when he feels ready to continue another part of the story but working independent and being able to shop around his new IPs to other, more new-IP willing publishers would probably be his best bet.

That's what you get if you don't try and push new IPs. And I'm agree with SE that Konami is the one that makes impossible for Kojima to work on new IPs.

 

Well, I'm glad this interview didn't had the words "taboo", "Project Devil" or "Project Ogre" in them. (Or another new project label)

i want to see him team up with Naught Dog. he seems to like them and The Last Of Us.

although ND isnt a pub, Sony would handle whatever they make, but they would have free reign to do whatever they want.

I was thinking about this when I was talking publishers.  He paid a visit to ND and GG after MGS4 and has praised TLOU so if he could get Sony to pick up one of his new IPs, he could probably get a lot of the 1st party studios to come around/get their opinions/help like Sony does so often with their studios.  Sony would probably be one of the more lax publishers he could go to but I think quite a few others would loosen up for being able to produce a Hideo Kojima game as well.

 

Konami needs the guy so I think he could easily expand himself and still be able to come back to Konami cause he's their money maker.
