Shinji Mikami & Hideo Kojima

Reported earlier.

The prospect of the possibility of a game from 2 awesome producers on any console (but more so on the GameCube) is quite immense. Imagine a cross between two of the biggest franchises in the steath and horror genres respectively. You'd have the tyrant encountering that metallic cyclops bloke.

"So we finally meet. Would you like a cup of tea?"
"Certainly"

Followed by some quirky Japanese music and Jill Valentine flashing certain parts of her body.

But seriously though, the idea of two inspiring people working together on a secretive project is immense - wonders know what kind of title it will be, but perhaps a cross between genres or more than likely, a totally new franchise to the lucky console - go GameCube!.

What is the most bizarre idea you can come up with?

With the exception of the one above, mine is "Dance Monster Revolution" - where you control zombies dancing like demented maniacs around town.

Here's a toon I made to go with that, it's the Tyrant from Resident Evil in his "cuppa" gag:

"Super Mario: Hazard"

Mario with guns..... and the mushroom kingdom has been thrown in to the world of darkness..... (zombies)

Meet up with over survivors, and recruit them, guest stars like Luigi, Captain Olimar, and many more!

Comin Soon......

30 hours of video footage, 10 minutes of game time(with terrible controls) another 30 hours of game footage, 10 minutes of game time, so on and so forth.

I've added a toon above I did of the tyrant and his teacup above, which for some reason bears a similar resemblence to the cheesy smiled "reject" Ian Duncan Smith.

MY GOD IT DOES!

The reason I said this scared me in the news thread. Is because when two BIG devlopers like this get together, there could be problems, they may not mix, which could ulitmately lead to them falling out etc. Of course they are proffesionals so that is unlikely to happen but even so... there would probably be TOO many ideas for the game, leading to spreading it over a series perhaps, which could in turn decrease the quality of either titles.

Even so I'm looking forward to that secret project between Shigsy and Yuji reported some time ago, *drools*

I'm dieing to find out what the pair can concuct - a brilliant masterpiece or some quirky Japanese title, whichever, I would actually prefer the development team working to product it to change the direction in which they aim the game - perhaps working together in a genre that's not survival horror or steath. I know it may sound odd as that's their primary strongpoint, but maybe a change of direction could do them and the slightly repetitive nature of their titles good.
