The creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, Hideo Kojima, has admitted that his company Kojima Productions is facing “pressure” from Konami to create the next Metal Gear game, despite Kojima previously stating that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots would definitely be the last in the series.
But Kojima has laid several surprising hints as to where Metal Gear could go next as a series, even if the next game isn’t strictly a sequel to Metal Gear Solid 4
UPDATE: The MGS4 demo is now available in Europe, as well as the US and Japan Stores.
Over in Japan, PS3 owners who didn’t get drawn in by the hype surrounding the launch of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots now have the chance to get a taster of Hideo Kojima’s Magnum Opus. Despite frequent assertions that there would be no demo, it is now being reported that an MGS4 demo has duly arrived on the Japanese PlayStation Store.
It helped sell hundreds of thousands of PS3s. And now, Yoshitaka Arai of Konami has admitted, in an interview with Japanese newswire Morningstar, that the company is “currently looking into” doing a port of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console.
Metal Gear Solid 4 is on a roll, sprinting past the million copy milestone in its first week in Europe.
