Kojima wants to produce "a couple of other projects" while Ogre is made (a la Rising) #1

It's time for our monthly Kojima thread where we make fun of the fact that KojiPro can't finish any games learn what Kojima is up to now.

Today's revelation is that, since Project Ogre will take a lot of time to make, Kojima wants to produce "a couple" of games by other teams like he is for Rising.

I'm going to guess that one of them is probably Lords of Shadow 2, but we should find out sooner or later.

Also, at the link is the full interview from OPM that was hyped up a while back.

But the Ogre project is going to take a lot of time, so I want to produce some other things on the side, like I’m doing with Rising. So while I’m working on Ogre there might be a couple of other projects going on at the same time.

How about using that extra workforce to speed up Ogre development? Oh, but that makes too much sense. :(

Now that I think about it, Snatcher remake by Grasshopper is the correct answer. You guys win. We all win, really.

I assume there is no extra workforce within KojiPro. The guy said produce a couple of projects. That probably means managing an outside team to make a game, a la Castlevania: LoS and MGR:Revengance, or whatever the fuck that's called.

So he is going to produce games being developed by other studios because konami still can't make games?

He's remaking Ogre? Should be an interesting take on the whole "invincible tank vs. army of peons" genre.

Both Mercury Steam and Konami were happy with Castlevania LoS, and with their collaboration.
The OST composer said in a local (from Catalonia) radio interview that they were working in 2 DLCs (now released, but weren't even announced when he said that) and after that they were going to work in the sequel. So Castlevania: LoS2 it's confirmed.

Would be nice if he made an attempt to create something different rather than exclusively work on sequels or spin-offs to his other series.

If only KojiPro could learn how to actually finish games instead of running around in circles and inevitably outsourcing everything. :/

He's already said that one of the games that he's directing is a new IP.

Huh? That's only happened with Rising. It's not like it's a trend in any way.

He was after a studio to take on ZOE3, I guess he means that too.

He says a lot of things about ZoE3. He wants it to happen, but there aren't a ton of options out there for developers that could actually make something like that.

Sequel to Lord of Shadows please. Yes something like Snatcher or Policenauts takes priority of course, that's a given but I do not see it happening.

Rising was supposed to be the first game in the MGS-series to be developed without Kojima himself, wasn't it?

Thus, everything so far.

Totally forgot about that, my bad. :P

Still, it seems like they have some trouble achieving a balance between quality and speed. I just hope they somehow get it together and make some games since it's one of my favorite studios.

I don't think the core team have any issue putting out games in a reasonable time frame.

1 - 98
2 - 01
3 - 04
4 - 08
PW - 10
5 - 13?

Seems totally reasonable considering their quality. Rising was the only fuck up, but that wasn't the same team.
