Kojima Dreams of Zombies

What would happen if the razor sharp mind behind the Metal Gear Solid series were given creative license to make an MMORPG?

Rumour has it that it wouldn’t involve elves, or snakes, or anything currently out there for that matter. Hideo Kojima would make an MMORPG about zombies. In an interview with Edge Magazine, the enigmatic designer asked readers to:

“Imagine a large town where half the inhabitants are zombies. Users would subscribe, get inside the town and get bitten. At that stage they become undead and can’t control their character – all they can do is modify the camera angles. They’d see their character attacking humans and have to pay just to watch! The only way they could end it is by opening another account, hunting themselves down and killing themselves.”

Everyone seems to be clamouring about his brilliance (I don’t contest), but can you imagine paying not to do anything? I don’t even pay to play. If the idea ever came to fruition, I highly doubt that that sort of interactivity model would ever be deemed viable by Konami, and with that in mind, I’d love to see what other zombie-centric ideas the MGS mastermind could dream up.
