Where do KojiPro fans stand?

I am sure I wasn't the only person surprised at the announcement of a potential ZOE 3. There seemed to be about as much hope of that happening as Megaman Legends 3, but lo and behold Kojima said the online response to the idea was so overwhelming that it may become a reality. To me and many others this is amazing news no doubt, but it raises an interesting question for Kojima fans. Now that Solid Snake has completed his run, do we want to see another sequel (Peace Walker, Rising, ZOE 3, or Lords of Shadow {Kojivania})? While it is true that I am looking forward to Peace Walker and ZOE 3, I also miss the creative new feeling his newer projects have. Despite it's lackluster sales and NA fanbase the first Boktai was a great game. The implementation, though cumbersome, was incredibly creative. Besides practically creating the stealth espionage genre, Kojima innovated the tired mech gameplay formula, and was one of the key players in implementing movie quality scripting and presentation in video games. I would like to see him tackle FPS. I loved Bioshock, and I could only imagine a KojiPro FPS as being that amazing or better yet. I would even like to see a KojiPro mascot platformer, those seem to be in short demand right (this is a joke)? The point I am making here is as fans should we enable the sqaure-enix/capcom mentality of more of the same? Or, should we push our favorite developers to go creative or go home? I know a lot of people are going to stay within their safe zones and that is okay as well, but I think there is room for new heroes and new ideas to implement within every situation. We're at the crossroads of technology what with touch screen, and motion control implementation, why not be creative right?
