Some Kojima Productions Surprises at Konami's Press Conference Next Week

[insert speculation about an upcoming Metal Gear Solid project]

No Caption Provided

E3 is nearly upon us, which means developers with announcements waiting in the wings are starting to get anxious about sitting on the news. Kojima Productions is the latest to start laying down tracks on ye ol' hype train, promising some "surprises" for Konami's pre-E3 press conference happening next week.

“We are going to have a few announcements at E3 and we have some surprises, so be looking forward to that,” said Kojima Production podcast host Sean Eyestone, as listened to by VG247. "And we have something special lined-up going on a little bit before E3. So next week, we’re going to have a little special something on June 2.”

Rumors are flying about Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker joining the PSP Remasters program that makes previously PSP exclusive games playable on a PS3, and while Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima continues to claim he's moved on from the Metal Gear franchise, it's hard to believe it's true. It's been almost a year since we've heard a peep about the Raiden-lead Metal Gear Solid: Rising, too.

Predicting what Kojima's up to was complicated earlier this week, when the designer made a series of cryptic tweets about something he'd been working on for a year became "meaningless."

"I cannot bear, and cannot be positive," he said. "What I prepared minutely spending a year became meaningless."

Kojima has not acknowledged what he was referring to in the days since. Any guesses?

Kojima Productions announcements seem to be the only thing that Konami can pull out of the bag to get anyone excited and even then speaking as a big Metal Gear fan I'm not really that excited.

Is it bad that could care less about what they have to show?  I really tried to like MGS 4 but I couldn't recapture what MGS 3 was to me and their PSP game didn't do it.   W/e they do announce I hope it has nothing to do with Metal Gear, they need to give it a rest.

I hope at some point zone of enders 1 and 2 are given the HD remastering treatment along with the MGS PSP games.

My guess is that some recent hardware news he has received has spoiled a design he has been working on. Meaning it would not be best suited for my supposed hardware reveal.  

WELL,  YOU SAID GUESS!  :)

This announcement would make E3 2011 more impactful that the birth of my first son.

Here's one voice hoping we're not getting Metal Gear stuff. Metal Gear Solid 4 ruined any hope of me being interested in Metal Gear Solid at this point. He'll never tarnish MGS1 or MGS3, but I just don't want it anymore. 
 
Hopefully, Kojima will move onto something new that doesn't fill his ego quite as nicely.

I'd be surprised if he was tweeting about being depressed about having some project canceled over an MGS game. Ever since MGS4, it seems like he's been basking in glory over all the product tie-ins and celebrity endorsements in MGS4 and MGS: Peace Walker.
 
If it's another MGS product, NGP or PS3, I wouldn't be surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised. I'd like to see him try to make another high profile game that isn't MGS-related. It seems like the easy way out, a quick buck, and stifling of his creativity. That is if he still wants to make something new or just keep cashing in on MGS.

One other little wish!  
 
How about Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 and 3 getting the HD treatment. That would be awesome.

Yesss. After 4, Peace Walker and now the upcoming rising, I just want something a bit more like the first 5 MG games! 
 
Also, Kojima said he was working on something for NGP, I am looking forward to that.

Rumour is that Kojima's recently cancelled project was the game being developed with Suda 51. No confirmation though yet, guess we'll find out at E3.  
 
Can't see Rising having been cancelled, even considering it's delay.

Poor Kojima. No matter what he does, he's condemned to a life of making Metal Gear Games. he even writes off the main character, but that didn't get him out of it. At least David Hayter should happy - he's got a job for life.

A release date for Rising? Please? I mean, I've never been really interested in the MGS series, but the slicing and dicing gameplay in Rising just looks so cool.

I liked Peace Walker, but I wasn't over the moon with it. A PS3 update would be cool, but... how about something different. ZOE 3 would be cool, or an MG2:SS remake. Or something completely different.

I'd be very surprised if that isn't the game that was just cancelled in favour of making more sequels to Metal Gear.
Makes me sad. ZoE was the only Kojima game I liked, as I was never a fan of the metal gear stuff. One day they will make a new one... one day.

I expect Peace Walker on PS3. Maybe the game he was working in with Suda 51 will get announced too.
