Hideo Kojima really wants to be done with Metal Gear Solid.  He’s stated unequivocally that he wants to work on a new IP and that he’s done with the franchise he’s so well known for.  But still, for some reason, he’s coming up with new ideas for the series.  In a recent interview with 1up, the celebrated game maker stated that he has ideas to extend the series, but that he still doesn’t want to make a new MGS.


“I have three concepts for MGS5 already. What would be ideal for me with MGS5, though, is that we don't do those. If the team picks one of those concepts, I have to get involved again, which I don't want to do. There are already so many good ideas from the staff, so if we select one of those, that would be really good. At that point I could really rely on them and take the step back to be the producer, which is the ideal situation, I think.”

 

Hey, Hideo; if you don’t want to be involved in the game’s creation, perhaps when they ask you if you have any ideas for a sequel, you could tell them “No.”  That would solve the problem altogether.  Of course, if your new concepts involve a naked Raiden doing cartwheels again, you don’t have a thing to worry about.
