I'm only partially joking.

How else can we get a character's story for a few GBs, and weather patterns and monkey sounds for the 38 GBs? That takes time!

That being said, though, Igarashi's contributions to the series as of late have been losing their shine...Judgment was a total aberration, and Order of Ecclesia was far too difficult to be fun. Maybe Hideo could help make the franchise into something truly great again...
I'll be following this intently to see what happens, though I'm assuming this would be a more likely announcement for Konami's presser on Wednesday than for Sony's tomorrow; they'll likely focus on MGS Rising and MGS Peace Walker instead.

Arch, please.
Order of Ecclesia wasn't that hard overall and the few spikes in difficulty didn't detract from the experience, they added to it. I could play the first 5 or 6 levels of Battletoads over and over, just to die at the same spot. To beat Ninja Gaiden, I ended up playing through the entire last level 30 or 40 times before I beat the last boss. It feels that much better to win when you put in that much more effort.
I mean, from the guy who talks about how awesome Demons souls is all the time, I wouldn't expect a comment like that. I'm really surprised.

I beat Dracula X Chronicles. I couldn't beat Ecclesia. That's saying something.

Ecclesia wasn't THAT hard, aside from the arena area. Just need to memorize patterns, just like old times.

Where's my new DS Metroidvania?
06/02/09
Screw the DS, make a 1080p Metroidvania for the 360 and PS3.

oddly enough, my favorite thing kojimas name is tied to is the snatchers/policenauts series. id LOVE For them to do a cel shaded wii game in that series.. i mean adventure games on any other console would be kinda lame, and i loved zack and wiki.

a. have the info
b. give it away nearly this easily
instead they are just using this character because
a. no one really knows / cares about this game at the moment (no offense; sure it's a lovely game)
b. they have to use something for a teaser silhouette

This probably isn't even related to the countdown timer, although it'd be hilarious if it was.

No, but Kojima IS a big man on campus at Konami. He could conceivably be PRODUCING it without actually having KojiPro develop the game.
I hear he has his hands in a BUNCH of games now.

I personally have thought it to be their "Project S" all this time.
05/23/09
Kojima's stated personally that Kojima Productions is working on two games right now. One's a smaller project "more along the lines of what [they] usually do", and the other one, which will be announced much later on this year, is being done with a restructured KojiPro, aimed more towards Western audiences.

If you go to PS3, it says under 2009, 'Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots The Best'. I have no idea what 'The Best' means. It might be just an assumption by the editor of the article.
Also under Xbox 360, it says Lords of Shadow. I had previously checked this development out before (around the time that the Kojima: NEXT teaser came out). Here is what I found: [www.lordsofshadow.com]
Also: [lordsofshadow.net]
This site gives a little more detail to the game.

"The Best" just means the greatest hits version of the game in Japan. Lords of Shadow is on both systems, as far as I remember. Looks to be a Castlevania ripoff, which is odd considering Castlevania's made by Konami too.
