Hideo Kojima cries non stop about how he wishes he could make games other than
Metal Gear Solid, but he loves it really. The day he has nothing to do with the series is the day he dies. And even then the man will reach out from beyond the grave to produce and direct an MGS game.
I loved
Snake eater and love what I've played of
Peace walker so far, so I'm A-okay with stepping back into the boots of Big Bowss. But I can't bear to watch my homie go through it all again. My n***a has lost an eye, been scarred in the chest with a knife and now he loses an arm and goes Captain Hook on bitches?! All that's left is a foot and his penis to get the chop. Dying would be all too easy.
Ground zeroes and
The Phantom pain will both make up
Metal Gear Solid V.
Final Fantasy XIII taking multiple games to make up one story has left a taste in my mouth so sour that Listerine can't clear it. Konami and Square Enix are 2 different kettles of fish and Hideo is such a bloody perfectionist that he wouldn't dare let a game of his release in any of the broken, hot mess forms that Square allowed
Final Fantasy XIII and
XIII-2 to release in. But I am concerned that the development team will be spread too thinly across both games. Or perhaps this is all an elaborate plan to allow at least one team to develop a game with less of his involvement than the other, so he can groom his successors to take on the franchise. Something he has always expressed wanting to do. Hmmm... *strokes chin*
Metal Gear Solid V will look amazing, sound amazing and be a top to bottom technical display of what the PlayStation 4 is capable of. The game will rock. It will make lots of other games look like flops. And if it fails all of the above, the reason will be...nanomachines.
