Hideo Kojima has talked about his new project in an interview with Famitsu magazine, which has been helpfully translated by Siliconera.
As one would expect given his background and large fan base, Kojima confirms that he was approached by numerous publishers after leaving Konami but ultimately went with Sony because he knew that they would trust him with just a rough game concept rather than requiring a detailed plan and have given him "a vast amount of freedom".
Regarding the new title, Kojima notes that "it's an amazing game" and "I won’t say that it’s an open-world title, but those that enjoy playing today’s AAA titles such as The Division and Uncharted will be able to play it smoothly. When it gets announced some may thing that it’s not as way-out as they had expected, but I’m sure they’ll understand once they play it. The genre is action."
Kojima also reveals that it won't be a VR title, although he would like to make a VR game at some point as he believes "VR holds a key to game development".

How are we supposed to take that? is it a action game like Uncharted but with RPG elements like from The Division?
An Action-Adventure Tactical Shooter game ?, i think that this is the genre.
I just read it as "all our fans left us, so we need to steal the fan base from other games now"
This is Kojima we're talking about here of Metal Gear, Zone of the Enders, and Snatcher fame. It's gonna be awesome. Remember, Uncharted borrowed elements from Metal Gear. Just wait it out. Both Kojima and Sony know what they're doing and Sony have a lot of talented development teams to modernize Kojimas game. Kojima is more of the cinematic story type creator. Game play design will likely be taken from other Sony dev teams guideance as Japanese developers have lost touch and haven't exactly adapted the way they once could. It'll be fine. They know what they're doing.
Don't jump the gun, it'll make more sense once the game is announced.
I just hope it's something worthwhile and not bloated with little meaning.
The MMOish part the Division!
So from that I take it he means it will appeal to people who like big budget popular games I suppose.
and Pachinko machines.
Sounds like he want to make third person shooter with rpg element plus open world.
Cant wait = )
Uncharted and The Division. Opposite sides of the spectrum.
What the hell are you planning Kojima?
I wouldnt say they are that similar, but oposites?Thats wrong
