Whether they’re of movies, videogames, anime, comics etc. There’s always a group of them that’ll take the genre they love and create something thats totally mind blowing. Take for instance this fan movie called Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy. Here’s a good example of fans taking their love for the MGS series to the next level. [Continue Reading]

So, What’s Kojima Productions Up to These Days?

Hey kids, have you been sitting around lately saying to yourself, “Man, I wonder what Kojima is up to these days.” If that sounds like you then you’re in luck…kinda.

Earlier this week, an ad appeared in Famitsu magazine possibly showcasing what may be Kojima and crew’s next project. The ad is pretty open to interpretation, but does have the date 2009. 5. 18 written on it with a web address underneath. The site is very similar to the add, with overcast clouds covering a field of dried up grass and trees.  While it’s anybody’s guess as to what any of this really means, a couple of ideas immediately come to mind. Some have said that you can see Solid Snake’s face amongst the group of clouds in the add. If this is true it may mean the next entry into the Metal Gear series, or the often rumored Xbox 360 version.

While it isn’t a stretch to presume that Kojima will once again venture into the franchise that has made him a household name among gamers everywhere, I’m hoping that’s all a rouse, and that the game will be a new IP from Kojima productions. The Metal Gear franchise is one of gaming’s best, but we live in an era where closure within a series is looked down upon, and I see it as an unfortunate trend.  Sequelitis is a serious threat to innovation and originality, and while Kojima will likely turn gold into whatever he touches, wouldn’t you gamers like to see him do something other then Metal Gear? I know I would, but that’s just me

Kojima/ MGS 4 signing @ Uniqlo NYC

True game head DW was on hand for the MGS 4 Kojima signing at the clothing store, Uniqlo in NYC. The fans were out in droves and excited to get a glimpse and signature of the legendary game producer. Also at the event were the limited edition MGS 4/ Uniqlo collabo tees which flew off the shelves. Unfortunately Kojima wasn’t signing those ( proab’ to avoid the ridiculous ebay prices they would go for). Another plus for the event was the beautiful actress Yumi Kikuchi (Raging Raven) also giving signatures to eager fans. The event was great and it was nice to meet the man himself! Props to Konami, New York Tokyo and Uniqlo for this hot event! Peep the video below.
