Hideo Kojima has explained that he will not be directing development of Metal Gear Solid Rising, but will instead concentrate on the newly announced PSP game.
This year's E3 conference brought the announcement of two Metal Gear Solid games; Metal Gear Solid Rising, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The former will star Raiden as its main protagonist and is in development for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (as confirmed by Famitsu magazine) and the latter will star Snake and is in development for the PSP.
The series' creator, Hideo Kojima, has explained in a Famitsu interview that he's actually only fully involved with the PSP game, where he will be serving as director, producer and game designer. He describes Peace Walker as the "Metal Gear Solid 5 inside me."
As for Rising, Kojima-san will only be serving as producer along side Kenichiro Imaizumi, telling Famitsu magazine:
"I'm not the director. I'm not doing game design either. Although, I do issue complaints (laughs). But, not too much."
Nonetheless, Metal Gear Solid Rising is still described by Kojima-san as the "next generation Metal Gear Solid 5."
Hopefully we'll hear more about the games during Konami's press conference later today.

Tell me what you guys think. My thoughts: If Kojima is not going to direct MGS R then its going to suck. Which also proves my point that Kojima did not want MGS R to be released for 360.
DISCUSSSSSSSS
