Kojima Productions chief, Hideo Kojima has disclosed that he wants to make an out-of-the-ordinary online multiplayer zombie game. He is very ecstatic about the zombie game and wants to make it very realistic, but different from other zombie games.
Hideo Kojima said, “The zombie idea I have is a bit different. Imagine a large town where half the inhabitants are zombies. Gamers would subscribe, get inside the town and get bitten. At that stage they become undead and cannot control their character – all they can do is modify the camera angles. They would see their character attacking humans and have to pay just to watch! The only way they could end it is by opening another account, hunting them down and killing themselves. Of course, the problem is that your second character can be bitten as well.”
Hideo Kojima is presently working on Metal Gear Solid 4 for Sony. The online zombie game idea does seem a little weird; why would anyone pay to get bit, and even if you are bitten, it’s really stupid to pay to watch the game. If your role changes to that of a zombie, that would be awesome, but not doing anything and just watching can make the game play very boring.
