Kojima hiring for "next gen MGS series"

You can keep telling yourself that, but Peace Walker proved that once you take away next gen hardware production manpower away from said hardware, and apply that energy towards lower tech design, the quality barometer goes through the roof and volume of said quality results in a finer product.Chinner said:
What I'm trying to say is: Taking away Kojima isn't the solution; MGS4's fumbles blind you from the truth, as those same fumbles are simply his M.O. for first gen output. Look at MGS2, then 3. Look at MGS4, then PW. For all we know, Kojima's "MGS5" will be his second PW, so to speak.

so theres this giant robot, and they upload the bosses personality to it, and then it saves the world by singing some japanese music which is a metaphor for the boss not wanting to fight. to stop the world from blowing up, the boss (now a gigantic robot dog) starts to drown itself (a robot) and replaces all the nuclear target signs with peace symbols. this along with the japanese singing convinces everyone not to blow each other up. Otacons dad (who looks, sounds and does the same job as otacon) says "It's not using its brain...its using its heart".
oh im sorry kojima, what wonderful art you produce.

It's not
a Japanese song. It was a song made for Sesame Street.
I'm playing MGS3 for the first time and I have to say it's my least fav MGS game so far. Enemies finally have a realistic FOV but you're stuck with that horrible top-down camera (Subsistence costs triple figures). They've taken away your soliton radar and none of those replacement sensors are any good. Thermal goggles are more use. Two of them emit beeps that attract enemy attention ffs. Terrible controls. Also someone on GAF mentioned how Big Boss has what seems to be textbook Asperger's Syndrome and it's really standing out. Every weird comment he makes or little bit of Kojima humor suddenly seems to be a result of being a handicapped child.

Metal Gear Solid is my favourite series but Kojima has made other brilliant games too. I'd like to see him do something original. That said, I have no interest in a Metal Gear directed by anyone other than Kojima. Rising, this means you.

Kinda off-topic, but always when I hear that song, the sudden death of Karen Carpenter makes me sad :/

MGS4 had more gameplay than the vast majority of games in its genre
The key is cut down on the longwinded cutscenes

Ohhhhh gotcha, yeah
1) Awesome, fallacious internet arguments. What does any of that have to do with what I'm talking about again? Did you just burn through the main missions and never check out anything that might be considered extra content? You cannot deny that the cutscene to gameplay ratio is closer to MGS1, or even better, in comparison to every entry in the series since. If you take Kojima out of the equation, what do you get but generic military spec ops?Chinner said:
2) Did you play the game in Japanese or something? Is the song different in that version? You'd either have to be incredibly culturally deprived, born in the mid 90's, or have attention deficiency disorder, because the song comes up multiple times throughout the game, and it even goes to the pains of describing the song fairly early on when its heard through a cassette recording.
3) @Fimbulvetr: I had no idea that song was a Seseme Street song :x

Do you guys really not understand the usage of 'next-gen?' It's the same reason 2011's Madden will be called Madden 2012, and so on for every sports game. I don't see you guys complaining about that.
You don't need a new generation to have better CG. In fact, I don't think he's referring to the next console generation at all. Maybe he simply wants WETA-quality CG in his next MGS game. You could even make the case that some of those VGA trailers represented a significant enough step up to be called next gen CG. That would make sense, because he's obviously making a current-gen game, given that he wants people with 360/PS3 experience.
