			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid and Zone of the Enders games tweeted last week that his next project &#8220;will challenge a certain type of taboo&#8221; and if &#8220;missed up&#8221; he will probably have to leave the industry. <span id="more-7835"></span><br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Hideo-Kojima.jpg"><img src="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Hideo-Kojima.jpg" alt="" title="Hideo Kojima" width="590" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7840" /></a><br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today, Kojima <a href="http://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/12446228346">tweeted </a> another interesting tweet, revealing that he is working on another &#8216;Confidential Project&#8217; which will make him leave his next project to the side in favor of this new “Confidential Project”:<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m going to leave my next project to the side while I focus on the “Confidential Project.&#8221;"<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>We can understand from his tweets that Kojima is working on two different projects at the same time. The first project will be different and it&#8217;s going to &#8220;challenge a certain type of taboo&#8221; and the second one is a very &#8220;Confidential Project&#8221;. E3 isn&#8217;t very far away, and I think we will see what the legendary developer is up to in June.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While it may never happen, just think about it. Hideo Kojima is known for creating some of the greatest stories in the videogame medium.<span id="more-7623"></span>  Metal Gear Solid games have one of the most complex and emotional stories in the history of videogame. The story of Solid Snake, Big Boss and the rest of the cast in this great series is so deep and rich that a three hours Hollywood blockbuster movie really couldn&#8217;t do this great franchise justice.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you look closely at the Metal Gear Solid games or any of his previous works, you can see a lot of similarities between those games and JRPGs. For example, all of Kojima&#8217;s games have an epic story with a decent number of characters with each one of them does have a personal story. Also, the heavy emphasis on characters development in his games is another big similarity to JRPGs. Add to this the long cut scenes his games are known for which also one of the most famous features in JRPGs.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Metal-Gear-Acid.jpg"><img src="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Metal-Gear-Acid.jpg" alt="" title="Metal Gear Acid" width="590" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7663" /></a><br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just imagine a 40 hour epic RPG directed and designed by the legendary Hideo Kojima: Great cast of characters, memorable and unique settings, very deep storyline, and stunning visuals. Also, add to this some of his creative touches and great level design. Awesome? Yes, indeed. Kojima stated that he always wants to make games that would appeal to the masses, which bring my hopes down to see a RPG from him (since RPGs are not so popular these days). But we saw him producing Metal Gear Acid which was a turn based strategy game set in the Metal Gear universe, which is a sign that he may does a RPG in the future.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a huge fan of RPGs (JRPGs and WRPGs), but truth to be told, JRPGs aren&#8217;t evolving like western made RPGs. Also, almost every JRPG this generation does have a problem in its story or in its design (or both). Kojima-san ability in story telling is limitless and his creative mind can bring innovation to this dieing genre. Maybe he will be the one who could bring a breath of fresh air to the JRPG genre. While it may look impossible to see him doing a RPG, it will be interesting to see what he can do with this genre. What do you think? Will we ever see a RPG made by Kojima? Will the game perform well regarding sales? Or will it be a risky decision? Tell us what do you think in the comment section.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/main-590-vgarabia.JPG"><img src="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/main-590-vgarabia.JPG" alt="main 590 vgarabia" title="main 590 vgarabia" width="590" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4792" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>MGS4 one of the most if not the most important PS3&#8242;s Exclusive of all time, and Hideo Kojima really amazed us all with his exceptional masterpiece back in June 2008.<br />
<span id="more-3665"></span><br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hideo kojima raised the bar in every video gaming aspect in MGS4 with a well woven story to mind blowing visuals, alongside an innovated gameplay animations. Now a year has passed since MGS4 was first released, and to this day MGS4 still owns the PS3 exclusive crown, being the most successful PS3 exclusive both critically and sales wise.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<a href="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mgs4-590-vgarabia.JPG"><img src="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mgs4-590-vgarabia.JPG" alt="mgs4-590 vgarabia" title="mgs4-590 vgarabia" width="590" height="330" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4794" /></a><br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, A serious threat for MGS4 PS3 exclusive crown is already out and in his large footsteps to glory, Nathan really has a good chance to capture what solid snake kept hard for the previous 17 months and guess what Microsoft can&#8217;t play around this time and we will never see one of Naughty Dog&#8217;s producers introduced in the E3 2010! So can Nathan really do it?</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<a href="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/uncharted_2-590-vgarabia.JPG"><img src="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/uncharted_2-590-vgarabia.JPG" alt="uncharted_2 590 vgarabia" title="uncharted_2 590 vgarabia" width="590" height="332" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4795" /></a><br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Uncharted 2: among thieves is forcing its way to be a true winner over any other videogame this year, and with all the critical success it has already gained, the game would face little problems in capturing the GOTY -Game Of The Year- 2009 award, and from the all things we already saw in Uncharted 2: among thieves, few of us will have doubts over it&#8217;s quality, and if you ask me, UC2 has without a doubt got all what it takes to be labeled as &#8220;The Best Game in the Current generation!!&#8221; </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Snake visited us only once on the HD screens through MGS4, and even with Metal Gear Rising on its way for both Xbox 360 &#038; PS3 the chance of his appearance is still uncertain, still In my opinion Nathan will never have what snake has as a unique gaming character and even if Uncharted 2 gained bigger sales success Snake will still have the upper hand when it comes in comparing between their personalities as gaming characters, but being a 100% PS3 loyal gaming character –at least for now- Nathan is not far from being the true new PS3 symbol! That is at least until we see if Kratos has anything to say about that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <a href="http://twitter.com/Capcom_Unity/statuses/3424471119" target="_blank">Capcom_Unity</a> latest update on twitter, Hideo Kojima stopped by the Capcom booth at Gamescom to hang out with Monster Hunter producer Ryozo Tsujimoto<span id="more-1945"></span>, the Japanese duo have only one thing in common other than being extraordinary Japanese producers, they introduce a unique experience in their latest hits and they both managed to get into famitsu&#8217;s perfect scores list alongside other video gaming legends.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
<a href="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/hideo-kojima-vgarabia-1.JPG"><img src="http://www.vgarabia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/hideo-kojima-vgarabia-1.JPG" alt="hideo kojima vgarabia 1" title="hideo kojima vgarabia 1" width="590" height="280" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1948" /></a><br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Kojima&#8217;s &#8220;Peace Walker&#8221; on its way to the PSP where Tsujimoto&#8217;s &#8220;Monster Hunter Freedom Unite&#8221; already had a huge success, On the other hand Monster Hunter still rumored to be on its way to the PS3/Xbox360 where Metal Gear already had also a huge success on the PS3, I guess those men were sharing their stories of success, so what do you think?<br />
