The team at Microsoft’s Xbox division seem to be very eager with the upcoming current-generation multiplatform release of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and its successor Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. While there is still a couple of months left until we get our first taste at the next numbered installment of the series, Microsoft have shared an exclusive interview they had with Hideo Kojima.

Below is a two question sampler of the full interview, which can be read in full HERE.

What are you most excited about for developing on new generation hardware?

次世代機での開発にあたり、ご自身が最も楽しみにしていること/興奮していること、を教えてください。

I’m most looking forward to the “pseudo-cloud” era that the next generation of hardware will bring.  It’s still one step away from the “true” cloud revolution, but it will allow players to interact with their games, and each other in new and exciting ways using multiple devices such as tablets and smart devices.  Social experiences and player interaction are what will drive the next wave of games.

本格的なクラウド時代の前に来る「疑似クラウド」です。マルチタブレット、マルチデヴァイス等とソーシャル経由で繋がるゲーム体験+ユーザー交流によるゲームの新しい波(変化)です。

How will a new generation of hardware impact the future of the “Metal Gear” franchise?

次世代機は、メタルギアフランチャイズの今後にどのような影響を与えると思われますか。

Technology is at a crossroads, facilitating evolution perpendicular to the path we’ve taken thus far.  It’s not just about the next level of gaming hardware anymore, it’s about how that hardware will allow games to interact with multiple devices and SNS platforms.  Technology is fanning out in a horizontal direction as opposed to the vertical evolution of the past.

技術的には垂直方向にも進化します。同時に、マルチスクリーン+SNSへのリンクなどにより、水平方向にもゲームは拡がります。

In addition to this interview, Microsoft also shared an Xbox One exclusive trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes which features the cyborg ninja Raiden as he takes down enemy bioroid ‘snatchers’.
