 "E3 2011: Hideo Kojima Unveils Fox Engine")
Hideo Kojima may be absent from this year’s E3 but that doesn’t mean he isn’t knee deep in work. Besides Metal Gear Solid Rising, as well as HD remakes for both Metal Gear Solid and the Zone of the Enders, he’s working on a brand new game engine titled the Fox Engine. Not much is known about this engine at this point in time but it will power his next game, whatever that may be. It’s also been made to run smoothly on the Xbox360, PS3 and PC.
Looking good
Here’s what he had to say about his labor of love, “Up until now, we have been developing games exclusively for specific platforms. But in the future, we look to go more global. And we are paving the road to go multiplatform for future titles. Of course, the dev tools are included, so hopefully we can push out great games with shorter development times.”
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
