Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has told Eurogamer that he looks forward to a day when people stop asking him about Metal Gear Solid 4 being ported over to the Xbox 360.
Kojima said:
“I’ve been doing a lot of interviews and stage shows, and half the questions are like ‘Will MGS4 be coming out on 360 or other formats?’, and in the near future I hope they’ll ask me about Metal Gear, about us, about our future projects, and will stop caring about the hardware,”
Kojima has said that he has not chosen to port MGS4 over to the X360 because it is optimised for the PS3 and is probably not possible on the 360.
“But, you know, what kind of disturbs me sometimes, because a lot of people ask me about this PS3/360 question, is that it’s not about the hardware – I want people to look at the game itself. Sometimes I even feel like it should be on a PC so that people don’t ask me about hardware and platforms,”
Hideo Kojima answered a question about his future titles and where they will belong.
“If we’re talking about the future – not MGS4, but my future titles, if we’re referring to that – if the hardware technology rises then obviously, you know, it won’t be based on the hardware anymore. Probably I will first create the software and then, um, it’s a strange word to say, but port to other hardware if that technological ability rises in all areas.”
could this mean that the PS3 could be the lead platform and then ported over to the Xbox 360?
