" I'm not a genius like George Lucas", the mastermind behind Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima told Reuters. "I didn't have this story planned out. I always tried to finish the story in each game. But by some miracle in MGS4 I was able to resolve the mysteries left behind in past games and resolve the side stories from past games."
Reuters then asked Mr. Kojima about his role in future Metal Gear sequels, the ones that won't feature Solid Snake, and his answer was: "MGS will always be around. I feel a responsibility to continue this series as long as users demand it. But it doesn't mean I'm going to sit in completely. I'll probably take a different role in the next game. Maybe I'll sit in as producer and let the young staff take control of the new series. I really want to go on to new things."
