The video game autuer Hideo Kojima has never failed to surprise fans with his work. Too bad several of his ideas didn’t come to fruition. TheMetal Gear Solidcreator once desired to develop a zombie game, unlike the typical games in the genre we see today. Players would have had to play it with great care, as they wouldn’t have gotten another chance to.
Hideo Kojima is known for his unique approach to cinematic storytelling in his video games, which is a result of his strong passion for literature and film.And he’s also a fortune-teller;he just doesn’t know it.
Only if Hideo Kojima’s Ideas Were Accepted Would Metal Gear Rising Have Been Different
‘A Hideo Kojima Game‘ would be all it takes to make the fans go bananas. And in the game, the video game auteur wanted to create, this could have become a reality. In one recent video posted on the video-sharing platform YouTube, a user-provided an insightful presentation of ideas that the video game auteur had.
“There’s no franchise quite like Metal Gear Solid”: Solid Snake Incarnate David Hayter Returns to the MGS Franchise
He had this concept about an online zombie game where a player would get to play as a character only once until they were bitten by one of the brain-dead NPCs. Interestingly, the player would lose control over the character for good and ultimately have to leave their digital buddy. To play again, one would need to create another account, whether they decide to kill their friend or move on.
While some didn’t like the idea very much, some fans appreciated it. One of them wrote, “An MGR game starring Gray Fox killing zombies sounds awesome. It sucks that we never got that.” The founder of Kojima Productions also claimed that he pitched the zombie simulation toResident Evildirector Shinji Mikami. However, it was never considered.
Still, Fans Have a Couple of Games They Can Look Forward to
Gray Fox, or as he is known in theMetal Gearseries, Frank Jaeger, is a major character in the game, and Kojima wanted the character up against zombies. That would’ve been possible if his pitch for theMetal Gear Rising: Revengeancesequel had been accepted by PlatinumGames. Moreover, there were rumors thatMetal Gear Survivewas originally a zombie apocalypse game but that was denied by the video game autuer.

In the meantime, there’s not even the slightest news regarding any zombie game developed by the video game autuer. However, we do have a couple of games due from Kojima Productions,Death Stranding 2andOD;both games’ trailers are available on YouTube.The Japanese video game designer joined hands with American actor and filmmakerJordan Peele for the latter game.
Zombie games rose in popularity following the release ofResident Evil. Hopefully, if Kojima’s ideas are accepted or he decides to go with a standalone game developed by his studio, it would be a cinematic treat.
