Hideo Kojima Almost Made a Metal Gear Shooter with Respawn’s Vince Zampella

alternate timeline lore drop: hideo kojima casually revealed he once talked with vince zampella (yes, titanfall/apex/modern warfare guy) about making a Metal Gear shooter at respawn. imagine metal gear but with respawn’s FPS brains: slick gunplay, kinetic movement, kojima-brand insanity on top. this wasn’t some official pitch, more like two legendary devs theory‑crafting the most cursed/cool crossover konami would never allow. still, it confirms what everyone suspected: even kojima sometimes thinks, “what if metal gear, but pure shooter?” somewhere in the multiverse, there’s a wall‑running cyborg snake slide‑cancelling through a boss fight and we’ll never get to play it.
