Gouichi Suda and Hideo Kojima express interest in collaborating on a game; Suda says Revolution project is in the works.
Gouichi Suda, creator of Killer 7, and Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind the Metal Gear Solid franchise, may work together on a game project. During a panel at a recent game event, Suda expressed interest in working with Kojima, whose early works have been a major influence on him.
Suda said that Snatcher, Kojima's hard-boiled adventure game from 1988, was what inspired him to get into the industry, and cited the game as the reason his studio, Grasshopper Company, makes adventure games like Killer 7 and Chicago.
Suda added that he wants to work with Kojima on an adventure game; Kojima reciprocated those same feelings. The latter then told the former that they should announce a project at E3.
While the public will have to wait until May to see if the producers were serious, it is confirmed Suda is already working on a few projects of his own. During the event, Suda revealed that he is working on a game for Nintendo's Revolution, as well an another project for an unnamed platform. No additional details were disclosed for either title.
I did see the article on NNow's main site, but it didn't say anything about Hideo Kojima.
Here's what I'm thinking: What do you get when the makers of Metal Gear Solid and Killer7 make a game? Most likely a game that requires quite the attention span. I think I'm up to the challenge.
(Note: I think when the article says "Chicago" what they really mean is "Michigan." I don't think Grasshopper has ever made a game called "Chicago.")
