GAMING NEWSMetal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes "Treading A Lot of Taboos," Kojima Unsure If It'll Be ReleasedPosted on Friday, February 22 @ 13:33:54 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
![]() Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima shared a few interesting details about his latest project, Ground Zeroes, which apparently tackles some seriously mature themes. Speaking to VG247, Mr. Kojima said that because of this, he may not even be allowed to release the game. “I’m going to be treading a lot of taboos, and a lot of mature themes that really are quite risky. Honestly, I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to release the game. Even if I did release the game, maybe it wouldn’t sell because it’s all too much." Even still, this isn't going to stop him and his team from making a game that delivers on their creative vision. "But as a creator I want to take that risk. As a producer it’s my job to try and sell the game, but I’m approaching this project from the point of view as a creator. I’m prioritizing creativity over sales,” Kojima added. Hopefully we'll hear more about Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes at E3, if not sometime before then. More from the Game Revolution Network Comments

And, honestly I didn't think Kojima had the maturity to pull off handling the story of a child soldier, but that didn't stop him.

It made it super awkward when you actually found his father in peace walker.

If the game isn't released, I'm blaming Kojima for being a pansy. But honestly I think he's just hitting the combo multiplier here. Bad press, good press, it's all press.

*Aside, of course, from some things that only gamers might find moving. For example: incinerating your companion cube and all of the events in the backstory of the Aperture Science labs, and the death of Mordin in ME3. Those ones get me every time.

I'm a bit unsure where Kojima is going to go for more challenging and mature material. Is he going to make the video game version of Gaspar NoƩ's French Extreme film, Irreversible? Is the rest of it going to be a staid period drama based on a 19th century Russian novel? Will it all take place in Solid Snake's mind on his delirious deathbed?
Whatever it is, I'll play it.
