Kotaku, by way ofGames Radarhas a snippet from the latest issue of EDGE magazine (the European answer to American gaming print journalism), in which Hideo Kojima, developer of the Metal Gear series, andclose, personal friend of mine, goes into great detail about his ideas for a game centered on undead hordes; aka zombies. Here’s a quote:
“The zombie idea I have is a bit different,” Kojima told Edge magazine during an interview published in this month’s issue, explaining that he’s “less interested in the idea of the living dead than the fact you can turn people just by biting them”. Perhaps a new idea for any third-party peripheral makers looking for the next big Wii gadget?
“They’d see their character attacking humans and have to pay just to watch!” Koj continues. “The only way they could end it is by opening another account, hunting themselves down and killing themselves. Of course, the problem is that your second character can get bitten as well.”
Shambling undead hordes? Check.
Necrotic cannibalism? Check and double-check.
If Kojima ever gets around to making this game, I will give himmy child. Not just make him a godparent, no, I will actually mail my daughter to him. If he wants to eat her, that’s his business. Anyone who can make me a zombie game like that deserves a delicious baby from time to time.
