Hideo Kojima Smacks Down Rumors, Spreads Disappointment Ahead of E3

Don't expect Metal Gear Solid 5 next month. Maybe he'll just skip to Metal Gear Solid 6.

I've run out of SNAAAAAAKE jokes.
I've run out of SNAAAAAAKE jokes.

Let's get right to the point. Andriasang was listening to the latest Kojima Productions podcast, wherein Metal Gear designer Hideo Kojima responded to some of the biggest questions about him and E3.

Metal Gear Solid 5 at E3? Nope.

Kojima at Microsoft's conference? No, sir.

NGP getting a port of Metal Gear Solid 4? Scratch that off the list of contenders.

How about seeing any Metal Gear Solid: Rising multiplayer? Uh-uh.

Kojima answered a few more questions, the rest on the what-are-you-talking-about side.

Kojima Productions will have some "surprises" at Konami's pre-E3 press conference next week, so while today's "news" crosses out some of what we don't know, it doesn't answer much at all.

And so it goes.

Every time Kojima wants to get out of the biz, you people keep pulling him back in! I keep thinking that one of these days he's going to ride off into the sunset Bill Watterson style, and his only appearance will be rumors about a Japanese man burning flash drives behind his house containing the code for a Metal Gear-based visual novel.

Zone of the Enders 3. The people want it. Kojima's own team has told him they want to work on it.

One of his tweets sounded like a major bummer, like a canned project or something.

Probably Peace Walker on PS3. An HD collection pack for 1-3 is likely.

I'd like to see an announcement for a remake of MG and MG2: SS for the anniversary but it's not likely

At this point I've really had my fill of Metal Gear for the next few years, especially since we already have Rising on the way. I'm ready to see something else from Kojima. No less excited.

 God dammit, WE MUST BELIEVE MY BROTHER! I haven not given up on seeing ZOE3...although I get the feeling Kojima gets his kicks by disappointing us, so I guess I'm expecting to be dropped kicked in the face.

More on Rising's multiplayer is an odd thing to predict, given that no one has ever said that it even might have multiplayer. Considering the game revolves around a one-hit-kill mechanic, I can't imagine it would be a terribly satisfying deathmatch experience anyway.

Does it make me a bad person that I would still go crazy for  a surprise Metal Gear Solid 5 announcement?  Personally I hope the surprise is a relaunch of the Snatcher franchise.

I should replay MGS 4 sometime, to get an updated perspective on it. 
 
I hope we get a new Zone of the Enders game some day.

Doesn't Kojima own his own studio? He should start working on his own project already, maybe he's doing that hopefully.

Yep, give it break for a bit. He should leave Rising completely to the new guys and then move on to something new. Although it looks like Konami might have killed his something new if that twitter post recently was any indication.
