There may be two new Metal Gear Solid games on the way, but according to the latest issue of Famitsu, series mastermind Hideo Kojima is fully involved with only one: the PSP title, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

In an interview with the Japanese gaming mag (actually, it's the same one from last week's issue, only the censored parts were revealed), Kojima said that in addition to writing the script and producing the game -- which he confirmed during the game announcement at Sony's E3 press conference -- he will also be serving as the director and game designer.

Of course, he will also be involved with Metal Gear Solid: Rising by serving as the game's producer along with Kenichiro Imaizumi. Said Kojima, "I'm not the director. I'm not doing game design either. Although, I do issue complaints (laughs). But, not too much."

Interestingly, Kojima refers to both Rising and Peace Walker as "Metal Gear Solid 5". He describes the former as a "next generation MGS5", while the latter is "the MGS5 inside me".

I am glad that he is doing another MGS. But maybe he could pick up ZoE sometime soon. Hopefully the PSP game ha some good storyline in it, im looking forward to this and Gran Turismo.

I'm glad Kojima is doing another PSP Metal Gear Solid, each iteration of MGS on PSP has progresivelly pushed the power of the handheld, and this new one looks amazing.

Hopefully the money they get from Rising and PW will get us ZoE. Multiplat or not I want something else other than MGS(at least for now).

make a game that shows when null became greyfox or when raiden turned into a cyborg

» well

IF MGS Rising is about Raiden's cyborg journey thing, then maybe the Gray Fox Chronicles can be DLC later on?



idk, seems understandable though



or maybe a game about Raikov!!! HURT ME MORE!!!



*reminisces about that one gay trailer that plays before Tropic Thunder*
