Metal Gear Solid and Yakuza creators discuss future titles
What do you get when you sit Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid) and Toshihiro Nagoshi (Yakuza) in the same room together? You get a fruitful discussion about games. But not just any lot of games -- their games; games they're currently working on and even ones planned for release this year.
Kojima said in Japan's Famitsu magazine (via IGN) that his production company is working on at least three to four titles. It's a nice step up from his statement last month which was at two mystery titles. He could very well be counting Metal Gear Solid Touch in there, referring to one of these games as something that could be released quickly. But it makes you wonder, what are the other two to three titles? With Kojima being an ardent supporter of the PS3 and PSP, often offering high profile MGS exclusives, we're more than willing to go out on a limb that one of these titles will appear on a current PlayStation format. Also, one of these games is planned for release this year.
Turning things over to Nagoshi, he too has something yet unannounced but currently in production. That title, he revealed, is to be announced sometime later this year. Nagoshi, too, like Kojima has put somewhat of a preference on PS3 as of late. Could this new title also appear on the PS3?

Maybe, these titles are most likely multi platform.

I believe it'll be a Metal Gear but in Yakuza/GTA style ^^
PSN: Aggie_CEO @ Jan 14th 2009 11:04AM

+1
we could only hope.
did no one think of asking him this???
Popfrogs @ Jan 14th 2009 11:53AM
I'm surprised they never patched it. For some reason I thought that Kojima said MGS4 would have them at launch, but they never updated it.
PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Jan 14th 2009 1:29PM
If a patch like that ever comes out, I hope it would be retro-active because I worked my ass off getting the Big Boss Emblem.
Marrvia @ Jan 14th 2009 10:54PM
Saving after every checkpoint shouldn't count. That's what 99% of the people did to get the Big Boss rank.
maidsandharem @ Jan 14th 2009 11:05PM
what is so great about trophy? metal gear is fine the emblems could be your trophy, if you like trophy (achivenments wannabe) you picked the wrong console
PSN: Aggie_CEO @ Jan 15th 2009 11:11AM
Maid your a fucking troll......Trophies=Achievements.....hell games like Bioshock had MORE Trophies than it Did Achievements.....so get the fuck outta her with that shit.......
Jerses @ Jan 14th 2009 11:06AM
if they are making a new game... leave the same tecnology, engine or whatever they like from previous games and focus on the gameplay. Les dialogues more blood!!!!!
Fiddlesworth @ Jan 14th 2009 11:33AM
New Jet Set Radio on PS3 please. As well as more Yakuza and Metal Gear Solid. :P
phantom @ Jan 14th 2009 11:49AM
oh my god. Kojima is smiling!! the world as we know it will surely end (hopefully we get MGS4 trophies first)!!!!
Michael @ Jan 14th 2009 1:47PM
ZOE3 me plz
Brent @ Jan 14th 2009 1:50PM
COME ON ZOE3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack Tretton @ Jan 14th 2009 4:33PM
Imagine if these two collaborated on something. I'd go to Gamestop and plunk down five bucks on the announcement alone.
Akamaru @ Jan 14th 2009 8:49PM
ZOE3 would be awesome. Second Runner is still one of my top Kojima games ever.
dished ends @ Jan 15th 2009 12:27AM
If I get the chance like that I will clarify my all doubt about metal with him.

MGS is so good that it doesn't need trophies.
Ahmad @ Jan 15th 2009 5:36AM
because sony said that it's going to use trophies to DLC from PSN , besides it'll be like a challenge to test our skills on MGS 4
Dan Rabot @ Jan 15th 2009 6:28AM
Fair do's, Trophies would be nice, but it certainly doesn't need them.
I'd like to see some Metal Gear Online trophies though.
I've personally played through MGS4 2 or 3 times, then traded it in, so personally they're no good to me now and I'm sure there are many other in the same boat.
They did however say they were releasing Metal Gear Online on it's own, as a stand alone game, now that I would like to get my hands on.
If it ever does appear, I hope it can work without the 5gb install MGS4 had. That install is the main reason I traded it in.
Ahmad @ Jan 15th 2009 5:31AM
I'm still surprised that until now there no trophies update ,I really hope that there will a trophies update and ZOE 3
Ahmad @ Jan 15th 2009 5:33AM
Trophies for MGS 4 & ZOE 3

"Turning things over to Nagoshi, he too has something yet unannounced but currently in production. That title, he revealed, is to be announced sometime later this year."
Daytona USA 3... please be Daytona USA 3... Nagoshi-san can't ignore Daytona USA now it's the 15th anniversary of the most successful arcade game in the history of Sega, if not all time.
