  • Heads Up! – Something Big Is Going To Go Down At Metal Gear’s 25th Anniversary

    According to the latest podcast by Kojima Productions Report, it is stated that something will be go down on Metal Gear’s ’25th Anniversary’ event to be held on 30th August in Tokyo Midtown.

    The news came when Ken Mendoza, a Kojima Productions Report podcaster, announced that the event would contain “a lot of exciting announcements.”

    Another podcaster, Chris Johns added that “A lot of things to look forward to next week, not just for fans, but I think the industry’s gonna be shook by what we’re going to be able to present here.”

    The legendary Hideo Kojima will be present to show off their new FOX ENGINE by using a new game already in the development. A new game idea by Hideo Kojima, which apparently “connects people” will also be in one of the announcements. Could it be that teaser we saw where they demonstrated FOX ENGINE, where there was a young boy and a dog in the middle of a forest?

    Kojima-san is to then attend an hour long panel at PAX Prime to be held in the US. Which means that whatever ‘industry shaking’ announcement will be made on 30th August, it will soon be followed up by details by Hideo Kojima at the PAX, atleast that’s what we’re counting on.

    PAX Prime will take place from 31st August till 2nd September and will be hosted by Spike TV’s Geoff Keighley.

  • Hideo Kojima Unveils The Fox Engine For Multiplatform Games, MGS 5?

    Hideo Kojima is a sly dog indeed, he was working on a brand new engine to power his next multiplatform project while we thought he was idling. The developer sat down for a brief interview with 1up and had this to say:

    Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima recently said on Twitter that he would not be attending E3 this year. Instead, he sat down for a video interview with former 1UP editor and current 8-4 employee Mark MacDonald for a chat. That video was released today as a part of Konami’s pre-E3 event today.

    The subject of Metal Gear Solid: Rising was covered briefly. There won’t be any big announcements regarding it at E3 this year and it’s still on track for release in 2012. The game has had a prominent showing for the past two years at E3.

    Kojima went on to say his next game is still in the planning phase, offering little more than that. He did show a brand-new engine Kojima Productions is developing known as the Fox Engine. It’ll be used in his next game and, unlike in the past where the developer worked on specific platforms, the Fox Engine is “paving the road to go multiplatform for future titles.” (A mouse, PS3 controller, and Xbox 360 controller were the three different platforms that it seems to be designed for.) The hope is it will reduce development time so that games can be released more frequently. Work began on it after Metal Gear Solid 4 was finished and it continued to be developed as Peace Walker was made.

    The new title was referred to only as an “upcoming, unannounced game.” What’s seen in the video is stuff being done for research; it won’t necessarily make it into the new game. Kojima “really can’t say much about when” we’ll learn more about it, but it will be multiplatform, transfarring-enabled (Kojima Production’s new save game connectivity feature), and designed for a global audience.

    Kojima teased that next year could see the release of Rising and maybe even other games. He didn’t offer up anything more than that, simply calling 2011 a “year of preparations for Kojima Productions.” Both Metal Gear Solid 3D and the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will be out this year.
