Minutes after Hideo Kojima announced his new "action espionage" project, the Metal Gear Solid community was ready to brand it a "spiritual successor" to their much-beloved series.
The closing reveal from last night's State of Play was that Kojima was working with Sony on "a next generation action espionage game." Under the working title of Physint, Kojima says he's got some characteristically grand plans about transcending the barriers between film and video games - he's already dubbed it "the culmination of my work" - but it's genre, not directorial intent, that's got MGS fans in a twist.
