Kojima: Three concepts for MGS5
Hideo Kojima has revealed that he has three concepts for the next Metal Gear Solid game. MGS4 was meant to be his last game in the series but wasn’t MGS2 and MGS3? In an interview with 1UP, Kojima said that he wants to leave MGS5 to his younger staff.
“I would like to just make a new game, and the younger staff can work on the new MGS projects,”
“I have three concepts for MGS5 already. What would be ideal for me with MGS5, though, is that we don’t do those. If the team picks one of those concepts, I have to get involved again, which I don’t want to do.”
Kojima has stated that he wants to create a brand new game, something new for the industry.
“I want to create something new, and it’s difficult to explain since no one’s seen it before,”
“I don’t know if it would sell very well. I’ve been warming this up for a long time, and I keep thinking that I’ll try this idea. But ideas always change, so I really don’t know what the final outcome will be.”
Sounds like Kojima’s team is hard at work thinking of ideas for MGS5.
“There are already so many good [MGS5] ideas from the staff, so if we select one of those, that would be really good. At that point I could really rely on them and take the step back to be the producer, which is the ideal situation, I think.”
