Hideo Kojima interview (MGS3, MGS4)

[Loke]

Do you have any hopes to make a Metal Gear movie?

Hideo Kojima: To me Metal Gear Solid is a game and has always been a game, all the characters, stories, everything. That's why I'm not interested in creating a Metal Gear Solid movie myself. I've always said I wouldn't mind seeing a Metal Gear Solid film, but let it be worked on by someone else, someone in Hollywood.

-------

You've said that in Metal Gear Solid 4 there will be "no place to hide." Does this mean having more action over stealth next time around? Obviously you don't want to say too much, but can you tell us any more?

Hideo Kojima: That comment was probably a bit too misleading. Metal Gear has always been about stealth, that aspect definitely won't change. When we come up with a new Metal Gear game we always think about where we want to hide. With Snake Eater it was the jungle. If you want to hide in the jungle you need camouflage, that's why we added the camouflage to the game.

The reason we're saying "no place to hide" for the next Metal Gear is the game will be set in a place, we're not going to tell you where yet, but a setting where your response will be "Oh my god, how do you expect me to hide here?" When you do actually hide in that environment, it will be very thrilling and tense.

A city would be fricking awesome, I can't wait to see where they put it, each one has been better than the last. sad to see Kojima playing less of a role, but I'm glad to see he thinks of Metal Gear as only a game and not a movie, a Metal Gear movie would be a travesty

I wouldn't doubt it would be in a city. It's obviously something new to MGS so we can probably rule out compounds or jungle or something.

I'm ready

EDIT: Son of a *****. I didn't know that Hideo wasn't gonna be directly involved in MGS4.

All the references and humour come from me so you probably won't be seeing it in Metal Gear Solid 4.

That makes me a saaaad panda.

 

[StardogChampion]

Why would it be set in a city? A city would be easy to hide in. I'm guessing some place that's pretty sparse, like a desert, or something crazy like the moon.

i've seen it alot recently,i'll buck the trend as i'm a happy panda about mgs4,wonder what city?,i remember after the the first e3 trailer for mgs2:sol loadsa mags were saying the game would take place in new york in the streets etc like in that flick 'escape from new york' but the escape from new york link turned out to be to do with iroquis plissken who was revealed as solid snake,maybe it'll be back to new york

edit:good read koj is such a legend,the new setting sounds great,sounds like a huge area coz of the 'ong how do i hide here' comment,wonder what type of stealth mechanic will be employed this time?1 thing we know for sure from koj is to expect the unexpected *cough*raiden :dozey:

As long as it continues on from MGS2, I am not too bothered where they set it...I mean...they wouldn't just leave us hanging like that.
