GamePro editors Vicious Sid and Mr. Marbles recently had the pleasure of speaking with the most mysterious man in video games, Metal Gear Solid creator and director Hideo Kojima.
Kojima talked at length about his upcoming PlayStation 3 game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, as well as his thoughts on the next-gen console war and the video game industry in general.
The following is a transcript based on our talks.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.
This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦♂️
I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.
I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also
Also crimson.
As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself
Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp
You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.
And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
TimeShift had a fairly muted launch in 2007, and while it doesn't rewrite the FPS rulebook it does offer an enjoyable campaign even now.
Never heard of this game until someone mentioned it here last year. Played it and it basically represents most games from the PS3/Xbox360 era—good graphics, amazing physics, and extremely fun gameplay (time powers rock), but barely any story, weird pacing, and at least one annoying AF level. I finished Prototype last week and the same applies, except Strike Teams. Fuck Strike Teams.
I miss when ganes used to experiment with physics and world interaction
Why is it so dam green/yellow?. The AOTS on G4 showed the trailer and it was two diferent colours. I can't stand it, it turns me off.
I'm not implying anything, but I find interesting how impossible is that this games comes to the 360 as Sony fanboys are saying:
"GP: Is 1080p a goal for Metal Gear Solid 4? Do you think 1080p is an important feature to have?
Kojima: In that sense, the answer is simple: we're not really insistent on sticking to HD. We're not the ones who are saying we want HD. We want something really pretty on a very small screen. But 360 and PS3 don't allow that because HD is kind of a must-have...
(WHY THE HECK WOULD HE MENTION THE 360 WHEN ASKED ABOUT 1080P FOR MGS4 ON THE PS3)
GP: Is MGS4 still planned as an exclusive PS3 game? Do you have any interest in Xbox 360 development?
Kojima: Well, yes, I do have strong interest in creating something for the Xbox 360. In the US and Europe, it is selling, and I think it will sell a lot this year as well. I'm a fan of Gears of War as well, it's very interesting.
Frankly speaking, I want to create something on the PC. It's a multi-platform [format]. I've been regularly studying work on the PC anyways, and I want to provide something as a world-wide platform because of the consequences with timing on the PlayStation platforms, MGS4 is actually for the PS3 only so far.
(WHY SO FAR? HOW ABOUT SAYING YES AND THAT IT WILL STAY THAT WAY)
GP: If you ever made an Xbox 360, would you find it difficult to work with because it uses a standard DVD?
Kojima: It's not necessarily challenging or difficult, it's just a matter of how we do it. It might be a couple of discs, or possibly a new form of dual-layer.
"
That interview was pretty cool and this game with motorstorm might make me buy a PS3.
Yeah but the guy even admits that you need space for proper HD graphics, just because he doesn't want 1080p is not the point. He says that his game would have to be multi-disc on 360. He doesn't say anything bad about PS3 hardware just that it's difficult to develop on. Hard but powerful and with plenty of space and MGS4...
the guy need 50 gb or more, if its coming to 360 it will be a game with 6 or more dvds?? I dont see it happening. plus the graphic on this game will be something for its own (not shinny or plasticich the way it is now, this on will look so real no other games graphics will even be near) 360 wont handle it a year from now.
