Kojima wants to hand off MGS to someone else but can't

We've seen numerous entries in the Metal Gear series since the first game hit the MSX2 back in 1987. These have spanned everything from a jump to the Solid series and numbered sequels to spin-offs and remakes.

 

Amidst all of Snake's (Solid and Naked, and oh, Raiden too) adventures, series mastermind Hideo Kojima started thinking about handing off the series to a worthy successor. No matter how many times he tried to do it, though, he always aventually had to jump right back in and take hold of the reins.

 

"I have tried in the past. I've tried to hand Metal Gear off to other people within the studio and I've tried to raise people up so they have the ability to take over," Kojima told GameTrailers. "And I think since Metal Gear Solid 3, I've tried this and actually did hand it off and have other people come up with the story and come up with the game design.

 

"But for some reason it just never really works out. And, you know, I end up having to step in again to take charge and kind of fix things here and there and just get sucked back in unfortunately."

 

It's plain to see that Kojima loves the series he created. So much, in fact, that he says he wants it to continue ever after he dies. That hopefully won't happen for a long time yet, but right now Kojima assured fans of the series that as long as people want to play Metal Gear Solid games he'll continue to make them.

It was not even half as good as the original MGS. They made Snake do matrix stuff, WTF. It was just to over the top.

Must suck for the employees who are told "No! You're doing this wrong! Nevermind, I'll have to do it and fix what you broke"

While that is true, you have to realize the repercussions of Hideo not stepping in to correct these things. There will likely never be a person to pull it off just right, and the same applies to ANY inspired quality piece of work. Any TV show, any movie or book series etc.

I'm hoping Hideo will continue with the MGS for another iteration or two and manage to piece everything together in a solid ending... Though MGS4 actually did kind of do that. Maybe we'll never really have enough of this series, but it has to end at some point. I just hope it ends with a bang instead of losing steam gradually in sub-par sequels.

I'm sure Mr Kojima will set up a series of A.Is to continue his work, and future game design will be merged into the war economy.

I feel him though, it's tough to see him making all these games for our sake. But seriously, no one is worthy than Kojima himself to make them. Kojima himself was the only one that was able to produce the "Best Game Saga" ever made, from story, AI, programming and gameplay, also everything he does in gameplay is similar to real life which satisfy me unlike the other games like Splinter Cell where you are absolutely invisible in the dark. Just whatever you do, don't give it to the American Companies, they'll ruin everything you made.
