Hideo Kojima to Showcase Fox Engine on August 30

A betting man would have good reason to believe Hideo Kojima is making yet another Metal Gear game, and maybe we’ll know for sure by the end of next month.

As part of a retrospective feature on the 25th anniversary of Metal Gear on the PlayStation Blog, Kojima teased his next project, which will be based on a built-from-the-ground-up Fox Engine.

Kojima said he would be ready to show what Fox Engine is capable of in Japan on August 30.

A snippet from the end of the retrospective:

“The Fox Engine is nearly finished, but the only way to be sure it works is to create a game at the same time and improve the engine with our tools as we go along. Originally we were going to do this for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, but a lot happened along the way and instead it is being made with the engine they have at Platinum Games.

Production studios in Japan are nearly extinct, a fact that we have recognized for nearly 10 years, and although the Fox Engine is not finished we are ready to show what it can do... on August 30th in Japan to be more specific.”

Fox Engine is powering Kojima’s next game, which we only know as Project Ogre, at the moment.

Seems curious the tease would come as part of a Metal Gear history lesson, though, right?

Awesome, a new metal gear is always a highlight.

I will always be a sucker for a Metal Gear game... Except for Rising... Actually, I'll take that back

Games!!

KOJIMA!!!!

Metal Gear !?

"it can't be! Metal Gear!"

I'm going to be optimistic and hope it's for the new Zone of the Enders project he announced recently.

Old old Snake?

It's not over yet, Snake!

If only it was a Snatcher sequel.

Man. I wish he was able to leave the Metal Gear series behind and do something else. Though maybe he's worried that if he doesn't, someone will fuck with his baby.

A birthday present for me? Huzzah!

Hopefully it is something not related to a previously existing series. What else needs to be said in the Metal Gear story?

Can't imagine how that game is gonna look MGS4 still looks amazing and so far I haven't seen any game do the cutscene to gameplay transition MGS4 did so well other than maybe Uncharted , and there's plenty of stories to be told in a post Solid Snake world .

MGS5!!!!!!!

!

Another Big Boss game? Gray Fox game? They could literally do a dozen new and interesting MGS game because the timeline is the series is so broad they could easily do interesting prequels/sequels, stand alone missions etc.

I'm pumped for this!!!

Differences here is that this engine may not take too much space on the disk. That was one of the problems they had with the last game was it filling up the whole 50GB.

Hope it's MGS5 and set in 70s

Sweet, I'll take it.

As much as I love Metal Gear. I would love too see a new I.P from Kojima, see what other crazy shit he can come up with!

<3 MGS, but a new MGS game needs a fresh new cast!

If Snake isn't dead in this I'll take a shit in my PS3 and put a video of it on YouTube. IN my PS3.

Did Mr. Kojima just tease a teaser?

I hope it's something other then another Metal Gear.

A thousand times this.

Hopefully, I'd love to see that. The new engine showing a Metal Gear Solid game.

METAL GEAR YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Oh good. A new engine to make shitty CG movies in.

A snatcher/policenauts sequel? Awesome, now get on with it..

Which would be better? MGS or Zone of the Enders? I'd be happy with either one.

This please.

A Hind D?!

@Jayzilla: Yes it was a completely intentional ripoff because at the time Kojima really liked both the movie the character and the original art. Look up the all your history video series on youtube, they did a pretty awesome retrospective on MGS not long ago.

I really hope its a new MGS, with Snake or Old Snake or Old Old Snake.

Basically, fuck off Raiden. Or any new protagonist.

Z.O.E. sequal. Please?

Hideo Kojima and Fox Engine.... Definitely a Metal Gear game.

Looks really awesome so far.

All hail Kojima.

It's a dog-walking and hat-wearing simulator, set in the jungle.

Hopefully it is something not related to a previously existing series. What else needs to be said in the Metal Gear story?

Money always needs saying.

Some people just like the universe. I wouldn't mind another Metal Gear even if you don't play Snake but you get Otacon and and Col. Campbell, Naomi etc. Thats the whole joy of becoming invested in a series.

Awesome! Can't wait. Good time for a Metal Gear remake -- that game's in a jungle, right?

I believe in Kojima.

I don't care what anybody says, Peace Walker is my MGS5. The entire series will from now on be one big time paradox for me.
