Hideo Kojima-san\'s latest Interview(must read)

No console is EASY to develop for. But some consoles might be easier to develop for than others... Programming is never just \'easy\'. It takes a lot of skill and time.

Hideo is my hero

Why are you all having a row about,the hole hard to develop for thing,who cares,konami is developing for all three consoles,i am sure he would have checked them all out.

But i want to know what he ment by "we will really surprize you"i am getting excited.

By the way guys, did you get that news about Silent Hill X and Metal Gear X?

They will not come to Xbox before the end of 2002, which means : 2003.

Theses games will remain PS2 exclusive for a while, and when they\'ll be out on Xbox we\'ll be talking
about Silent Hill 3 and the future project of Hideo Kojima, whatever it can be (MGS3?ZOE2?Snake VS Jehuty?
New revolutionnary project?)

[BizioEE]

I heard about MGSX that it\'s an hybrid version of MGS1 and MGS2...if that is the truth I\'ll never buy it !

I agree with my viking brother here

I\'ve read in an interview a long time ago with hideo and they asked him about metal gear on gamecube.  Hideo responded with and I quote"Metal gear 2 wouldn\'t work well with nintendo\'s younger audinces.  Niether would silent hill 2."  He also mentined some stuff about metal gear solid x on xbox.  Don\'t attack me I\'m just delievering the message hideo said.

He also said that Metal Gear Solid will be compatible with a future GameBoy version. Take from that what you want; but I am willing to bet oodles of cash that a GameBoy version is not going to be compatible with a PS2 version. Lemme find a link.

[EDIT] I found a link. It is pretty old but HERE it is nonetheless. Taken from the now dead DailyRadar.com

You sir are a Metal Gear Horror

What the f*ck si that supposed to mean TheOgodlyOne?

What I meant was MGS2 will be PS2 exclusive for at least until 2003.
I also remember hearing that MGSX will be MGS1 with some new added stuff and a few parts from MGS2, but NOT the full MGS2.


Kojima is GOD!

What the f*ck si that supposed to mean TheOgodlyOne?

Silent Hill X is a launch title (Nov 8 2001).  They haven\'t released info on MGSX but 2003 seems very, very unlikely.

You missed the point. He isn\'t programming for the NGC (and possibly Xbox) yet, he is just assuming things which is totally wrong. He should be making games for the system before he goes and runs his mouth like that.

yeah i heard that stuff too about silent hill X on x-box, this answers jumpman\'s question on \'has kojima tried developing on x-box?\' and the answer for x-box is a clear yes. maybe he has not developed a complette game yet, but still you don\'t have to develop a complette game to understand if a platform is hard to develop for or not, as ooseven has also stated.

And for nindtendo, i am sure konami have received the dev-kits, and who knows maybe they have a secret un-announced project working on gamecube? ( what do we know??) it could happen! sega was working on VF4 on PS2 and other titles for PS2 way before they announced that they have multi-platform plans.

so there jumpman, eat this!
