Hideo Kojima wants to run away from MGS4 to work for Wii

Wow.. "Run away from MGS4" Those are strong words. I wonder if he really means it..?

It just most likely gets tedious after a while. A simple Wii game would probably be a nice change of pace for him.

Well he did play Pokemon Crystal during the entire development of MGS2.

I don't blame him. I bet it's the same with creators of Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, etc. You just end up getting tired of working on the same thing over and over. I think we need new projects from developers. I mean, look at Square during E3. Final Fantasy XIII! THREE VERSIONS! Woo!

It's pathetic. I understand it's how they make their money, but still. I'd be driven crazy.

If you were practically forced by fans and company executives to make the same type of game for the past 10 years, you'd probably want to do something else too.

I doubt there will be much port games for the Wii. There will be but developers don't want to take extra time to make it Wii "compatible" and just half ass release a port.

The comment from Hideo is interesting. We'll have to see how it pans out. Hopefully it isn't something too odd, like that Sun game for the GBA.

I'm not surprised at what he Kojima said at all........ I don't believe this is the first time he's talked about getting away from the MGS series.

This guy is a developer/game designer, he'll want to express his creative in new ways and that can be fairly hard to do when you have to work with one franchise all of the time. Yes you can create new things within the franchise but some basic things must remain in order for metal gear to feel like metal gear.

Also he can say he wants to run away and create something new for the Wii but unless the big boys at the top see that making such a game is profitable then he won't be making any game for the Wii anytime soon.
