Famitsu interviews producers of Metal Gear Solid and Vagrant Story
Posted by @ 2:45 PM, EDT
Here’s a bit from the interview, posted at GIA:

Finally, I would like to ask both of you what direction both of you will take from now on.

Kojima: Matsuno-san, what is your following project?

Matsuno: As you will know, since there is Square's plan of PlayOnline together with the PS2, it will inevitably be related to that. IT won't be something you can call a package, it most likely will be something involving an online premise that we will make little by little. I still don't know myself exactly what it will be. What about you, Director Kojima?

Kojima: Naturally, I'll be making games like games are meant to be made. I am doing this also for all the users that have been with me since the beginning. I'm also thinking of making use of the DVD ability of the PS2. Let's just say that Ill be making games closer to something like movies.

Matsuno: I as well, not only want to fulfil the expectations everyone has of what I will do next, but I also want to try and tackle new challenges. Therefor, online games in which users can participate seem naturally charming to me. There, as long as a little bit of my "taste" is implemented, I wouldn't mind making something entirely different… Basically what I mean by this, since we are in the stage of planning, I am not really in a position to talk about.
