Kojima Not Directing MGS Rising, only Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid fans felt an explosion of extreme fandom as Metal Gear Solid: Rising and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker were both announced at this year’s E3. Both titles will be coming to PlayStation platforms, one being on PS3 (Rising), and the other being on PSP (Peace Walker).
Though many would believe that Metal Gear Solid: Rising as the true Metal Gear Solid 5, that just isn’t the case. Famitsu recently interviewed Hideo Kojima, who revealed that he will be fully involved in the PSP title, Peace Walker. He will serve as the game’s director, producer, and game designer. Kojima calls Peace Walker the “Metal Gear Solid 5 inside me.”
Along to Rising now, Kojima said that he will not be involved as much as he is with Peace Walker. He told this to Famitsu Magazine:
“I’m not the director. I’m not doing game design either. Although, I do issue complaints (laughs). But, not too much.”
Although he doesn’t have much of an importance in Rising as he does in Peace Walker, Kojima still describes Rising as the “next generation Metal Gear Solid 5.”
Stay tuned on PlayStation LifeStyle for more information on both of these new Metal Gear titles.

i wonder if mgs rising is going to look as good as mgs4, since it multiplat. this mgs peace walker should be a great psp title.
Kojima san rules, that is all.
thats smart, people cant say he “betrayed” the PS3. hes not fully involved with it and the true sequel is the PSP version.
Very happy with this news.
Great news for PSP owners and Playstation fans alike.
i guess im a fanboy… wish that he would bring peacewalker to ps3
yes, I want peacewalker to PS3 too
That’s what he said in the behind-the-scenes videos of MGS4… in that Kojima has stepped down from the next PS3 Metal Gear game and has bequeathed his baby to the team which helped him on MGS4.
