Kojima says MGS4 coming out in 2006!!

Wow. I'm unbelievably hyped for this game. I'd be shocked if it were out next year, though.
If there were a religion, and all people did was sit around and talk about Hideo Kojima games all day... I'd consider checking it out now and then.
He's excellent at selling his vision (as well as speaking really fucking quickly). I liked how he described the market as going in "two directions" with Rev and PS3.
My only real wonder left is just how much of the game will be controlled from the first-person. Obviously it's how you aim in recent games, but if that's how you moved primarily as well... I'm not sure I'd like it.

No, it won't. It's a series made for enthusiasts...unlike those extremely casual Ubisoft games (In typical Ubi-style, I hear the next 6 games are scheduled for 2006...so you won't have to suffer through MGS!!).Dr_Cogent said:It damn near already exists. It's called GAF.
I'll be quite surprised if MGS4 comes out for PS3. That would be huge for it (but it wouldn't be ending any console wars

There might be an option for FP movement now to go along with the new 3rd person view. Kojima's said he can't really play FPS due to motion sickness so I don't think it'd be a required part of the game.
I don't think Konami has ever shown a trailer for a MGS game more than one year before the game was to be released. And seeing how the sales of MGS3 have dropped compared to MGS2, I think Konami would want to capitalize on the post-launch period when there's less competition and people are more eager to buy games.

Obviously if he didn't get paid he couldnt live but I think he's saying he's a game producer to make games, not to make a shitload of money. The money just lets him eat, live, drive to work, etc. People with that attitude tend to end up making a lot of money anyway because his ambition shows through his quality work.

I can't wait to see Zone of the Enders on PS3. It will be absolutely crazy. I can't even imagine it.
God, this game is so far above anything we've seen yet. I LOVE how they apply the filters so the game doesn't look too clean. If more devs knew how to do this, the Unreal engine could be godly, with no plastic characters.
That would speed up game development considerably. And if MGS4 is out next year, you can bet MS will try to have Halo 3 ready. Though MGS4 is an automatic buy for me and anyone else with a brain ;

Creating games for the sake of creating games.
Kojima has created a great story to tell, and more than anything he wishes to share it with as much people around the world as possible. I'm glad he ended up in the game-industry instead of the movie one, cause with games you can tell stories so much deeper, and you really have the feeling you are lost into the sometimes twisted stories they throw at you. Kojima probably has the same mindset, and I applaud the man for that.
Not many can create something so epic and compelling like Hideo-san.
PS: Yes, he is my new god...

So is the "Emotion Engine" a generation too late?

Eh? What was so special about the FPS sequence?

Well think about it, it's the idea of the polished gameplay mechanics of a Metal Gear Solid game, but next hardware complete to push forward the warzone scenerio with again the attention to detail that Kojima is reknown for. Combine with the western love of things FPS, well you get the picture.

Ah. Good points.
CosmicGroinPull said:
the dust and bits of paper being blown around, the naturalistic warzone environment, the way the apparent player character breathes heavily and uses cover. i suppose other people might like the squad stuff too. it's a brief sequence with no real action, but it's still pretty neat.

so can we assume:
Original MGS4 trailer was shown at TGS 2005 and the game comes out Feb. 2007?
That's still not too bad... although I'm sure Konami would try to push for a holiday release. Regardless, if it did come out in Feb, and the PS3 gets a US launch in Oct/Nov, that's a mere 3 months between US PS3 launch and MGS4. Not too shabby...

Yeah you're right not too shabby. I wish that the PS3 would come out in May or June but...
Kojima rules!!

It still might (PS3 getting a May/June release in the US), but I'm not planning on it.
Hopefully an official date will be released around X360's launch.

I don't think he's written off the idea of there being a FP option. He's talked about it before

So if you want that style of camera in MGS4, it's probably best to let them know along with the feedback given for MGS4's online mode.

DSN2K said:Kojima can say alot of things...........
like MGS2 would be his last Metal Gear game but he's already talking about 5
:lol True. B that's an example of him doing it for fans though. Watch pointed out that if MGS4 is a big hit and fans want Kojima back he'll likely direct MGS5 also.

The game is coming out in 2007 people. Case is fuckin closed.
A year after launch. November 2007, same time frame as PS2 launch to MGS2 release.
Given, a game like MGS4's calibur is easily in the 2 to 3 year development range (no way in hell anything less) but it's safe to assume almost a year of development and planning as already been put in the title. We have all of next year and most of 2007.
