According to CVG, Hideo Kojima, the creator and developer of the critically acclaimed Metal Gear Solid franchise has spoken out about the future evolution of software developement through Kojima Production.  His self appointed challenge is to penetrate the western market with new franchises.

“We’re currently reviewing everything in order to make Kojima Productions a team that can challenge foreign creators and software houses,” he said.

“I’ve thought a lot about how Western games have been winning, looking it from a global perspective, and there are things that I’ve noticed.

“I’ve come to understand that the way we’ve made games up until now won’t translate globally, and I’ve come to think that I need to make Kojima Productions a team that can compete alongside the rest of the world,” he added.

Hideo Kojima is an ambitious developer who knows how to influence a culture with his genius as one of the industries most talented creators. For years Hideo Kojima has entertained western gamers with his Metal Gear Solid series and we certainly don’t expect his perfectionist approach to game developement to change as he revamps Kojima Production for the future.
