I' m not too sure if this is news, considering that he seems to do this after every Metal Gear Solid release, but in an interview with IGN, series producer Hideo Kojima revealed that the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 might not be the end after all. " PR-wise, I really don' t want to say that this the final game or this is the wrap up, but if I don' t say it, people will make me create MGS again!" Kojima said, " So I have to say, ' Die, Snake,' and really end it so I can move on to something else! (laughs) Actually, it' s a game, so even if Snake dies, the game can live on. We have to kill him at a certain point."

Kojima also revealed plans to expand the series beyond games and into other types of media. " I can' t say if it' s going to be a game," he said, when asked about the potential of expanding the series, " Maybe it' ll be a novel or a comic—I do have some ideas. However, I have to say that I' m not going to do everything if we were to create it. Maybe I' ll just produce or maybe design the game and just act on that role, so I won' t be the total creator of that series if it happens."

He also went on to talk about at what he might be up to after MGS4 is finally released. After hinting at a desire to do more work on the PSP, Kojima said " maybe the sequel to ZOE, or a remake of Snatcher, for instance, if I just participate as a producer, yeah, that could be possible." Throw a translated remake of Policenauts in there and I' d be one happy camper.
