Quartermann: Kojima wants full-blown FPS?

by Majed Athab { Oct 3rd 2008 at 6:00PM }

Is K really thinking about making a full-blown first person shooter? Rumor king of EGM-fame Q seems to think so. Big K's been spotted visiting developers Infinity Ward, Treyarch and Guerilla Games. Just who knows what's going on behind-the-scenes? This wouldn't have anything to do with R going away does it? Rival shooters perhaps? Oh, the drama.

XOXO

What about the PS3 version of Coded Arms that never came out (and was gonna suck anyway)?

Kojima > Miyamoto

Would be a great idea. Shooters are what really get my blood pumping. Biggest selling games of this gen BY FAR.

PSN: Erdie @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:22PM

I know FPS games are the new coolest things to hate on, but I still like 'em. Bring it on.

Why the Gossip Girl format?

I'm ashamed to know that this is Gossip Girl format, and you should too.

jahd5000 @ Oct 4th 2008 6:14PM

Actually i think it was so fucking funny...
your post was funny too XD

AJ_3 @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:37PM

get trophies on MGS first please

Tolkienfanatic @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:58PM

Seconded. But a Kojima-produced full-on FPS would still be awesome.

lee @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:38PM

would love to see a good fps with an epic storyline

Devil240Z @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:55PM

the last thing i need is another FPS, but I would like to see what Kojima could do with the genre. An FPS with a gripping emotional storyline, is it possible?

how many japanese devs have made FPS'?

wem003 @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:57PM

I'll get flamed - but who cares. Yay, another FPS.

wocyob @ Oct 3rd 2008 8:19PM

i wont flame you but i will say bring it on kojima... show the other dev how to make a FPS

but knowing him he will do some new W/E it may be he will think of it... im sure we all think its going to be the same shit over and over... but the thing is if it wasnt for kojima being sooo smart... no one would have made a game close to MGS.... so what im trying to say is if he wants to make a fps by all means please do one... cuz he will make it an fps but in a way that we wont see it as one... will see it as a whole new game separated from the rest of the fps

Marrvia @ Oct 3rd 2008 7:53PM

If he can create an FPS series with a new mythology similar to what was created with MGS, I'm all for it. But I personally am a little burnt out on FPS games, there are too many of them lately. If he can add a twist to it kind of like Metroid Prime does, I could get excited for it.

Lee @ Oct 3rd 2008 8:18PM

Lol
the gossip girl format

batty @ Oct 3rd 2008 9:32PM

Gossip Girl format ... sweet ... why didnt i think of that ... darn you M ... darn you !!...one day we'll find out what M stands for and then we will run you outta town :P lol. seriously though ... pure genius.

Evi1d33d @ Oct 3rd 2008 10:03PM

I thought Kojima and a lot of Japanese gamers get motion sickness from FPS. I think that's the main reason Xbox 1 never really took off in Japan.

It's good to know Kojima Team is broadening their horizon.

dgodinho @ Oct 3rd 2008 11:30PM

I would love to see what new innovations he could bring to a stale genre.

kentuckyfried @ Oct 4th 2008 12:49AM

Maybe he's just looking for help for MG02, which he feels is not succeeding up to his standards at this point.

Alot of people keep saying that some of the MG01 mechanics need to be brought back. But I think one of the most important things is to ratchet down headshot sensitivity, since MG02 is way too much of a HS-fest...even COD's not like that at all.

DC502 @ Oct 4th 2008 2:43AM

He will make the right choice.

Duuuude! @ Oct 4th 2008 10:37AM

Go Kojima,u the ish

halongw77 @ Oct 4th 2008 12:30PM

Call me an Xbox Fanboy but I happen to own all 3 systems and highly enjoy my PS3 and I happen to also own MGS4 and play it constantly. Just know that before I get started.

It's funny how you same people from PS3 Fanboy come over to 360 Fanboy and talk all kinds of crap about Halo, BioShock, any Xbox FPS, and even pretty much any shooter that is related to Xbox including Gears and then compare them to MGS4 and how it's so unique, so different and so much better than any "average FPS" (

Popfrogs @ Oct 4th 2008 1:48PM

Actually, I glance over at X3F once in awhile, and there are maybe...two posts among 50 criticizing the 360 or games.

Now, look back over HERE, and you'll see a hell of a lot more. Overall I'd say PS3 owners are either more mature or more confident with what they own. Most of us don't feel the need to troll the 360 or Wii forums. However the opposite isn't true.

halongw77 @ Oct 5th 2008 2:52PM

Now I have to agree with you there Popfrogs, there are a bunch of people who come over here and talk trash but I see just as much on X3F as well. I rarely seen any Wii trash talk though, which is odd considering it'd probably be the target for trash talk (I mean any hardcore gamer must be disappointed by the games and shovelware).
