Kojima not at E3 but....

He also stated that he’s giving an interview to former 1UP editor Mark MacDonald as he won’t be at the show.

Obviously, this means the Metal Gear overlord won’t be making an appearance in either Microsoft’s or Sony’s press conferences.

However, don’t be heartbroken just yet: Konami’s holding a pre-E3 event on June 2 and a full show conference next week, and it’s been more or less confirmed that at least two new Kojima Production titles would be shown there.

Earlier today, Kojima announced that recording for his new title has begun.

Well, atleast we're getting something. So is it possible this is something outside of Metal Gear? Kojima was tweeting some bad news the other week

Hideo Kojima has announced that something we know nothing about has become meaningless to him, which points at a possible cancellation from Kojima Productions. Apparently, he’s been “delicately preparing” the unknown thing for a year, and now all that hard work has gone down the drain. It first came to light when Kojima tweeted the news from his Japanese Twitter, before keeping us English speakers in the loop.

He seems very distressed about the whole thing, because he tweeted “I can’t take it anymore; this is unbearable, I can’t stay positive” before he posted the bad news.

Although it’s unlikely that this will have anything to do with Metal Gear Solid: Rising, Metal Gear 3DS, NGP Project, Devil Project or Zone of the Enders 3, we really have no idea because “the thing” is shrouded in so much mystery. Still, poor Kojima, it can’t be fun to have all his hard work just fall flat on its face.

He tweeted a pic from the recording session.

Certainly doesn't appear to be any of the projects I was hoping he was working on.

When did Kojima last fail to show up for E3?

How can you tell from one pic? :lol:

Just out of interest what was you hoping for?

Obviously something that doesn't involve heads.

A new Zone Of Enders game, and it's pretty obvious that isn't it (unless they're dramatically changing everything that stylistically defines a ZoE game).

I think it speaks volumes that you need to bring everything down to its lowest, simplest form.

No, it's just that a head is literally all we can see. There is absolutely nothing more complex on those screens.

I'm curious, what are you seeing in that blurry screenshot that none of the rest of us are?

It's a picture of Kojima in sunglasses with a Mario moustache.

So the recording was for the Japanese version of this:

The Japanese dub is provided by the voice actors for Snake, Miller, Galvez and Strangelove. :lol:

So, which conference do we think he's going to show up at? Nintendo's?

That's what I'm thinking.

The internet would melt. And it would turn out to be a confirmation that Snake will return in the next Smash Bros.
