Metal Gear Solid 4 E3 2006 Teaser – 1080p (Highest Quality)
Although it’s unclear why the project stalled, the studio eventually shifted focus to their own original IP, resulting in the hit franchise Titanfall. Zampella and Kojima maintained their professional respect over the years; Kojima even mentioned seeking Zampella’s counsel when he chose to go independent and launch Kojima Productions after his departure from Konami.
“The gaming industry simply wouldn’t be the same without his influence,” Kojima noted. Zampella, who passed away late last year, remains one of the most vital figures in the shooter genre. More recently, he oversaw the massive success of Battlefield 6 at DICE, which shattered multiple sales records upon its release.
In a recent discussion, Hideo Kojima clarified that Metal Gear Solid 2 is often wrongly perceived as a commentary on AI, when it truly explores the nature of human existence in a digital-first era.
