Kojima has no plans to license Fox Engine to small developers

Kojima wants Japanese developers to move forward and take first position again but he wants to play stingy with helping out by licensing Fox engine?

Keep the fox engine away from sucky developers!

@Josh West Naughty Dog can do their own engine. no need parasiting on other devs.

@Chris Parker boohoo

the Faux Engine.

Meh, I didn't even consider Kojima letting other devs use his engine. I highly doubt this is going to have much effect on games good or bad.

After MGSV make Silent Hill on the Fox Engine, please.

And don't outsource it.

@Josh West and with the Japanese attention to aesthetics that sequel would be awesome.

Just read the title and I laughed out loud. All I could get from the title was that Kojima wants money for his last 10 years of work. Think I was in school the last time I heard they were developing Fox Engine and that was 7 years ago.

Sorry to say this but i just downloaded de PES 2014 demo.. only to test the FOX ENGINE on my PS3, i hope it´s just because it´s only a demo but the resolution was 720p, the players looked pixelated and blured, the animations looked a bit stiff and the scenes like replays or team presentations looked too slow and with very low frame rates... hope they improve this in the final version.

Kojima's Fox Engine is gorgeous. All of the new Metal Gear footage that he's showed so far has been for current gen, not PS4 or XboxOne.

It looks on par or better than most of the next gen stuff shown off so far.

One problem. Please tell me that you didn't spend so much time developing an engine that is only usable on current gen consoles. Please tell me that the engine is compatible with PS4 and XboxOne.

Because if you wasted so much time developing an engine that would be outdated as soon as the game launches, I'm gonna cry.

@Josh Conder F and U

I guess a lot of devs wouldn't grasp it as easily, and it would cost Kojima a lot resources to get them spun up on it.

Wasn't he the one who was begging people to remake MGS 1 using the FOX ENGINE?

sell it kojima. It takes you 3 or 4 years to make a MGS game so unless you sell 20m + copies you aren't maximizing the money you could be making on the engine.

METAL GEAR

"the Metal Gear creator said it would be "too difficult" to license the Fox Engine at this point in time..."

It's only as difficult as you make it, Mr. Kojima. After all, it is your game engine.

This is good news. At least Metal Gear can keep a unique visual style without lots of other games looking like clones, a la the Unreal Engine this generation.

@Josh Conder yeah ur right thats why the last MGS took 10 over 10! UR RIGHT and all the other MGS were at least 8.5 hehe... i have no idea why would u even post such stupid comment

In other words, "there is work to be done, we just don't feel like doing it".

@Mr_Big_Boss But those are both opinions...Engine looks pretty good. I would venture a guess that it's hard to work with though.

@Josh Conder Maybe you are the one who have sucked for the last 10 years...

@Josh Conder Metal Gear Solid 3 was released within the last 10 years , so only you suck.

Good. Make developers create their own engine. Kojima and his team took the time to create their own engine, why can't other developers do the same?

What matters is that mgs v is coming!

@Yeri Yalpiobviously you didnt play the game

@Jed Powell Every MGS game spends 7 hours explaining the entire story up to that moment to you, anyway, so you don't need to actually play any of them.

I see his point, im sure they have a ton of bugs that went along with the engine when making the game. also there are a ton of in house game engines that is never released to the public this wont be the first time.

Clearly he refuses to license it because other studios just wouldn't make things erotic enough.

You're kinda make a response to Crytek .But still a great engine .

@Ravi Pathak #1 This is a prequel starring Big boss/ Naked Snake/ Punished Snake - the soldier Solid Snake was cloned from.

#2 Google is your friend (Wikipedia).

This guy just keeps sounding more like a d*ck.

This will be my first MGS game ever.
