In reply to Mark. If he isn't making his own engine yea I'd imagine he will likely go UE4. I see no reason why he wouldn't. 2016 should see a lot of studios using it. I'm actually kinda surprised its adoption hasn't been as quick as ue3

In reply to d0x360. I think Kojima would like to see the glass of water half full. He got the creative freedom he longed for, and creating a brand new IP from scratch, well, this is a tempting challenge for creative genuises!

In reply to Mark. Red Engine seems pretty good and reminiscent of the fox engine, also allows open world crafting.

In reply to d0x360. What game engine do u think Kojima maybe eyeing for his new game, considering he's on a small budget and the Fox Engine is now Konami's? UE4?

I have a feeling Kojima doesn’t want to be “free” from metal gear. Its basically a universe that allows for all his crazy ideas to come to life and its exceptionally hard to do that. Starting from scratch is a huge risk especially when you consider a vast majority of mgs players don’t follow news and have no idea what’s happened. Then a large portion of those people really dont know who Kojima is at all they just know they like metal gear.

I’m also quite sure he’s not thrilled about needing to dump an engine that has been worked on specifically for him for the past 5 years. That level of refinement comes at great cost which was probably konamis main issue.
