Maybe it’s time to dial things back when it comes to getting hyped over Twitter news. Sure, every now and then we get some good stuff but we’re just setting ourselves up for disappointment the more we invest into Twitter updates. A prime example of this is the latest post from the legendary Hideo Kojima. On his English Twitter profile Mr. Kojima posted the following:
[quote=Hideo Kojima] I’m pondering over the next project’s voice cast. I still do not have the details embedded, but everything is running simultaneously in my head. The title, game design, story, characters, setting, mechs, casting, direction of the graphics, sound, beginning & ending, and key story sequences. It all molds together naturally in my head.[/quote]
The mere mention of mechs in Mr. Kojima’s post has led many to jump to the assumption that this is referring to Zone of the Enders 3. Uh, is it just me or is that a bit silly? I know everyone is dying to see ZoE3 pop up in some capacity and I’m one of those people. But thinking or at least hoping that Kojima and his team are doing ZoE3 based on that Twitter post is just a bit much. I mean after all hasn’t every Kojima game involved a mech? For all we know Kojima is simply planning yet another MGS game or maybe he’s gone batsh!t insane and is planning on a Boktai sequel with vampires who control mechs.
So for the time being I think everyone shouldn’t board the Orbital Frame hype machine just yet. It would be cool if ZoE3 is announced but if it isn’t and despite how amazing Kojima’s other project is, we’re all going to end up crying in the corner.
But I’m still hoping Kojima makes a fps and it happens to be a Coded Arms Assault revival. It has to happen eventually right?

The new ACE game from NamBam looks insane. I'll definitely be importing that too. I'm not too sure we'll hear about Kojima's new project at E3 but a small teaser at TGS could be likely.
I would very much like to see ZOE3 but he's probably just talking about Rising.
Definitely wanna see ZOE3!
What about that "Project S" with Suda 51 that he's supposed to be working on? Did they combine to plot twist it to video game limbo?

Well one part of Project S was reportedly the Snatcher radio drama that was released in Japan awhile back. There was supposed to be an actual game collaboration between Suda and Hideo but I think that's on the side right now due to their respective projects.
Oh damn a new Snatcher would be sweet too. Kojima should make an English port for Policenauts, I know it won't happen, but it would be sweet as hell lol.
mentioning mechs may make it ZoE 3
Coded Arms would be great,if not then more....Metal Gear!!
I'm with you Ian, all for a ZoE3! It would be an amazing week for mech fans too. Because Bamco announced a new A.C.E. game for the PS3. It probably won't come here but importing ftw!
I think we'll hear more on Kojima's projects at E3. He's good with surprises and since Rising and Castlevania are known about he should do a ZoE3 surprise for all of us in addition to whatever he is going to show about those other 2 games.
