Konami released their own Q&A session with Kojima Productions' Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear fame. He talks mostly about Peace Walker, that pre-E3 teaser on the Kojima Productions website, and a few personal opinions -- such as his anti-war sentiments.

Metal Gears Solid: Peace Walker surprised many fans at Sony's E3 2009 media briefing and since then, we haven't heard too many details about the PSP exclusive set to launch in 2010.

Hideo Kojima of Kojima Productions and Metal Gear fame now talks a little more about the game and all the pre-E3 build-up, in a recent Q&A session with Konami. In the session, he discusses some details but insists he cannot reveal too much. Other interesting points are his personal anti-war and anti-nuke philosophies, along with the meaning behind that enigmatic Kojima Productions teaser site.
