Hideo Kojima, the father of the Metal Gear Solid series has taken its wishes for end of year to announce his involvement in two new projects. Under development at Kojima Productions, the first title would be mainly for the Western market. Hideo Kojima also plays the role of game designer. However, no information about its second project, except that the announcement should fall soon.
The title that will be announced first is being made in a style similar to the way his team has worked in the past, while the second will be produced by a restructured Kojima Productions with the overseas market firmly in mind. Kojima likens Western game development to Hollywood, with its products being made for the entire world, and reveals that his team is currently receiving "a makeover from the ground up." His goal for Kojima Productions: A software house that can compete with the best of the best from America and Europe.
What could Kojima's two new titles be? We have no idea, but recent reports suggest Kojima has been visiting various Western FPS developers with several of his key staff. He may simply be doing so to gain insight on how Western developers structure and manage their teams, but an FPS made with the West in mind might not seem so surprising coming from the worldly Kojima.
