    It is sad to see someone with his ability for story telling go away. But it would be very cool to see him writing novels or something based on Snake or other characters in the MGS universe

    Wise words from a wise man of video games. Still some scenes can be overly lengthy (like) (SPOILERS FOR ANYONE who haven't played the game so don't read on)




    the surprise ending after the credits.




    Other than that, he is definitely a living legend in video games history. Listening to that soundtrack in the background makes me wanna cry XD I can't believe MGS is over. I know that technically, it's not really over but still. It's over MGS-wise and it's over with kojima.

    Nerd Alert! Why is this black in white? Still MGS is my favorite game series.

    he knows how to truly make a game which revelutionize and can with stand the test of time and this game was and still is MGS. however, i agree with someone further down, kojima should make another ZOE game (Zone Of the Enders) ZOE3 because no other mech game in the world is as fast as that game and it gives the warning of seizures a reason.

    AWESOME!

    I can't wait for whatever hes doing next i hear he's done with MGS but I think he finished at the right time becuase i dont want an extended storyline that has no point. He should make a Snatcher or Policenauts game or something new.

    Holy Crap! I hope to God he comes to Video Games Live concert in my city! He usually goes to them and I hope so much he'll come to my city.
    I'll kill to just get in his line. If he comes, I'm going to bring all my MGS games and make him sign them. Oh my God, I'm going to faint just at the thought of that...

    Go Hideo! Oh man! I cant wait to see what will be his next big game. I also love the way they put the MGS4 soundtrack in the background while Kojima was talking. This makes me want to play MGS4!

    American developers are sorta boring when talking about there games, but not the Japanese always tell things in a more interesting way.

  • Blaze64129

    i know wut you mean, ZOE2 was 1 of the best games on the ps2 besides mgs, I hope he busts out the ZOE3 xD

  • Sgt_Politeness

    Posted Mar 26, 2009 2:35 pm PT

    Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm one of only a handful of people who've been dying to play a next-gen Zone of the Enders. ZOE2 was easily one of my favorite games on the PS2, and I've been silently hoping that Kojima decides to dust off the old gal.

  • GunnyHath

    Posted Mar 26, 2009 2:30 pm PT

    I hope you're all paying attention, it's not often that we get to listen to a living legend. This man is a creative genius and everyone can learn from him in some way.

    I dont know what you people may think about what I say next but I want another Metal Gear game! And if not Metal Gear then a game that is similar to it... I was incredibly inspired by Hideo Kojima and I simply cant get enough of the Metal Gear universe ! What I want to see next, is a Metal Gear game so advanced and well made that we couldn't have dream't of such quality !
