Another month, another batch of Quatermann rumors from Electronic Gaming Monthly. Straight to business, Square Enix fans disappointed Parasite Eve 3 is nothing but a cell phone game can breathe a little easier; a full-fledged console installment is already in the works. And elsewhere...
# Epic Games and Sony are making buddy buddy over the Unreal Engine 3 license to get the technology running faster on PlayStation 3. And they might be funding a PS3 exclusive, to boot.
# Hideo Kojima's hard at work finishing up Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the <B>Patriots</B>, but that's not stopping him from working on another PS3-only game. No, it's not Zone of the Enders 3.
# Sony will be retrofitting the PlayStation 2 with a Wii-like remote by Christmas. That console just won't die, will it?
I've also heard that it's "Written/Co-Written (Perhaps this is where Fukushima's been.)/Has an Original Story By.../Produced/Directed and Designed by Kojima."
What can it be? It's an all new title from Kojima Productions, that is what it is. I cannot wait to see what 'new idea' this will be, which Kojima keeps stating he has had for so long. Finally, something original from Kojima again, not another MGS, nothing Project S (that's only a radio drama, and it's a collboration with Suda, so this cannot be it, since he isn't listed) not Zone of the Enders. Something new all together.

Well, first, it comes from PSM (it's written in the picture's name !).
Secondly, there was a magazine (I don't remember whether it's PSM) which said they would have an interview with Kojima annoncing ZOE 3, but they never published said interview... ??:

My point was that the original one isn't ZOE3 by definition, but that doesn't rule ZOE out entirely. I'm also pretty sure it's not psm, I haven't seen that in any of my magazines.

Don't you want an original game from Kojima Productions? I mean, come on. ZOE3 is coming already, Kojima has said time and time again that he has a new idea for it. But with this, it ain't ZOE3, strictly speaking, what the magazine means is that it isn't anything ZOE related when they say 'it ain't ZOE3'. Don't you worry about another ZOE game. That is coming. What I want above all else is something new for a change.
Besides, it's co-written by Tomokazu Fukushima (which perhaps explains where he has been at) and Hideo Kojima, so it cannot be ZOE related, since Shuya Murata has written all of the ZOE games for consoles so far. Kojima himself wouldn't write anything ZOE related without Shuya Murata. (Especially considering that Kojima has never written any of the ZOE games so far).

Project S isn't just a radio drama. The radio drama's just the first piece of a much larger project (no one knows how big it will be yet), and Suda doesn't necessarily have to be mentioned before he can be involved. I'm not saying this game will be part of Project 'S'. It could be, though.

O.K., let me explain. I would want nothing more than an all original title. The article claims ZOE3 isn't coming, I was just supplying proof that it is. I can't wait for both of them, we should all be happy about this!

I don't know if it's going to be the zombie game. The impression I got from his comments was that he didn't think the time was right for it. He's got dozens of other ideas in his head. I hope it's something he hasn't even commented on at all before.

I think Shinji Mikami's quite interested in the Zombie MMO, too, so I'd expect that they would plan to collaborate on it, if it was ever going to be made. They both seem to be quite busy at the moment, so I don't see it happening any time soon.
I was the one who said this: 'Written/Co-Written (Perhaps this is where Fukushima's been.)/Has an Original Story By.../Produced/Directed and Designed by Kojima.' on the TUS forum (I'm Fincher).
I wasn't meaning to to say all that was confirmed or anything; or that there was even being another game created by Kojima. I was just stating that as wishful thinking. Sorry if it confused anyone.
I really do hope it's a brand new I.P., though; and that it's being handled by Kojima and Fukushima respectively as mentioned above. I really do hope.

Hey Fincher, never knew you were a member here and all. Yeah I thought you meant it was confirmed (that's my fault for assuming that, not your fault, don't worry), it's wishful thinking on my part as well now then.
