Kojima's being vague again, mentions 'Devil Project' photo

Hideo Kojima is not a man known for his ability to get to the point. That he is being inscrutable on Twitter is not really a big deal, but what is this Devil Project he has alluded to? That man is an endless waterfall of mystery!

"Have to give priority to another line's scenario etc., so now I cannot work on 'the devil project' and 'writing'," says the mad professor of videogames. "... Worked on my 'devil project' a bit after lunch. An experiment went well. Plot adjustment. Additional project. Phew.. now another line."

So, let us speculate like madmen as we try to work out what the Devil Project is! Also, let us take the quote, "Now another line" completely out of context. Just what was he advocating there?

What is Kojima's Devil Project? [TheSixthAxis]

Same as the "taboo" project he mentioned in another inscrutable twitter post? Or it could be something we already know about, or something internal to the company that we will never see, or simply an odd translation. That's the trouble with these things.

@Karuto

im glad im not the only one who remembers that nightmare game.

im actually have been waiting for that game ever since Snake Eater got released.

so kojima's been working on a collaboration with 5pb and suda 51, overseeing Rising, and a demon game? hopefully kojima can make a collaboration again with suda 51 for a sequel to Policenauts and Snatcher.

the devil thing could be Jehuty or a new enemy in the ZOE :)

i would love to see a Xenosaga and Zone of the Enders make a appearance to a super robot wars game along with Eva, Gundam 00, Ace Another Century, and Macross Frontier :D

Snake is going to die of a coke overdose and go to hell. Utilize your many boxes to sneak past Satan himself.

I will throw myslef to the speculation (hey, why not?) and say "The Devil Project" is additional content for Castlevania.

Of course it is... because that is a game were the Kojima influence is so well noted /sarcasm

According to This story on Digg, at least one person in your office is using cocaine. Looks like Kojima-san is the one at his place of business.

Don't worry, Kojima might be as big a Sony fanboy as you.

Jayson, do you enjoy being an asshole, or does it just come naturally? Literally every post I've read has at least one troll comment from you. I wonder how much you're getting paid to do this.

Anyway, a new Boktai or ZOE would be awesome, or hell, a new IP would even be sweet. Honestly, anything would garner my attention at this point.

Can Kojima's next project involve Tim Curry, then? Because that would be a match made in beautiful insanity.

I'm calling it's the game that was Snakes Nightmare in MGS3. That part had a very devil feel to it.

I'd like to think Kojima is just calling a project he doesn't want to do/has been hard on him the "devil project".. Of course he probably doesn't mean that at all but its fun to dream.

As for the rest of the patchy tweet(s)-"Have to give priority to another line's scenario etc" make it sounds like Konami's got him godfathering over more games then just Castlevania: Lords of Shadow these days.
