Hideo Kojima gave his initial thoughts on Sony’s PlayStation 4 in an interview with IGN.
Although he didn’t watch Sony’s press conference, he was interested in the direction the PS4 is taking. And that enthusiasm stemmed less from the hardware specs and more from the increased functionality of the new console.
“I can say that with every new generation of hardware the capabilities of the hardware increases. But up to this point it’s always been very much of a vertical evolution – of course, you expect things like visual fidelity, audio, frame rate. New features such as 3D capability, etc, etc. These things are a given. They come with the new hardware.
“But what I’m really more interested in is other ways of expanding into the next generation – a more horizontal expansion, where you’re going to be doing things online, more of a social aspect. People will be able to interact with the game through various devices, through various media – such as tablets, smart phones, etc.”
And these kinds of gameplay experiences could find their way into future Metal Gear titles. “I think it’s this new type of interaction – this new way of interacting with the game world – that’s more exciting to me. And I want to bring the Metal Gear franchise into that new wider world of interaction.”
Can we expect this kind of functionality in Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes? Kojima has previously said that the game's Peace Walker-like base management would be ideal for smartphones, and that some kind of integration is planned.
