Kojima nearly discussed Metal Gear Solid FPS with Vince Zampella

At the DICE Summit, industry veterans gathered to pay tribute to Call of Duty and Titanfall co-creator Vince Zampella, who died in December. Hideo Kojima said Zampella offered him support and guidance as he founded Kojima Productions: "He gave me a lot of support and advice," Kojima said. "He showed me his studio, and I incorporated some of the good aspects into our own studio."

Kojima revealed that he had discussed the possibility of developing a Metal Gear Solid first-person shooter with Zampella just before leaving Konami.

Given the timing—Kojima left Konami in October 2015—it sounds like it would have been a Respawn first-person shooter. At the time, Respawn was working on Titanfall 2.
