A Look At Kojima's New Game

Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima is working on a number of projects at his studio, Kojima Productions. He published two photos today on Twitter showing off the technology behind his new Fox Engine.

It's currently unclear if these photos are related to Project Ogre, one of his confirmed projects in development. One photo shows off the transparency feature, allowing you see through light clothing. The other photo showing a military setting was simply called "New Title."

"New title" run by "Fox Engine"

"One of the key features about 'FOX Engine', here's the transparent technique. See-thru underwear."

Comments
  • Lookin' pretty good.
  • See through underwear...now THATS innovation!
  • Looking good, Kojima has always been ahead of the curve in the graphics department, ever since the first Metal Gear on the PSone.
  • ... Why would there be see-through underwear in a video game?
  • Looking through clothes... THIS IS TOO REALISTIC MAN, IM OUT.
  • What will they think of next? and wouldnt it be See thru shirts and not underwear?
  • Looking pretty good. I want to see that transparency technique put to good use!
  • Weirdness and stealth. I have to say I'm not surprised, but I'm still super excited to see what the story will be. I love MG, but it will be interesting to see a new story from Kojima. He's been working in that world for so long, I wonder if he'll be able to break away from it.

    EDIT: Looking at the people in the jumpsuits makes me think of some kind of repressive or conformist society. Anyone else get that thought?
  • Hooray! It's...boring.
  • I hope this game will be fun...

  • back of the black chicks neck. looks pretty paper-ish. nothing too crazy. the first pic is too blurry for an opinion.
  • Most of the tank and the man look great, except for the wheels and the ground itself, which are pretty lackluster. The background is impressive, though.

  • I WANTS MGS5!!!

  • It's good that he gets to make an entirely new game, supposedly the story in MGS4 was a reflection on his life at the time and how he was bored with MGS. Snake was an old guy who got called into action one last time to deal with a problem only he can solve, even though he didn't want to. Kojima was an older developer who got called into action one last time to finish off the MGS series like only he could, even though he didn't want to.

  • O...M...G! Sweet!

  • looks interesting.

  • Hopefully we get an actual title for this project very soon.

  • Those graphics are amazing.

  • Not really... Both screenshots look pretty terrible. Shadows and textures are pretty awful and the transparent-ish clothing is really simple to do, just have 2 layers of clothes instead of one and add an alpha mask to the textures of the top layer of clothes, and done. The rest of it is just SSS (sub-surface scattering), which is meant to simulate the refraction and scattering of light as it passes through different materials - glass, water, etc., but it's nothing to show off really - it's present in Metro 2033, Uncharted 3 iirc, Batman: Arkham City, and so on.
  • Looks great.
