Fun fact:
About Physint. Kojima used sigint (signals intelligence) for Metal Gear franchise which means communications between people or from electronic signals. Metal Gear used codec radio. We don't know what physical intelligence means for this next generation espionage action game.
Metal Gear started out as Tactical Espionage Game on MSX. Then evolved to Tactical Espionage Action for MGS on PS1. Solid Snake's story ended with MGS4. There was a side-story on GameBoy Color (Metal Gear: Ghost Babel) the event after Zanzibarland and before Alaska like Shadow of Moses (MGS). Solid Snake was a legendary infiltrator and saboteur.
Since Kojima Productions has hired a action director (Yuji Shimomura) for DS2 he can go back and revisit the espionage genre he created for nearly 40 years ago. So Toyota was the action director from MGS to the middle of production of MGS4 until he left Konami and joined PlayStation's now defunct Japan Studio and then disappeared from the industry after the release of Siren New Translation or New Blood (Western localization name).
So Toyota was also action director of Zone of the Enders series.
Since MGS4 has not Kojima made over the top espionage game. That's why PlayStation fans hold MGS4 as one of the best PS3 exclusives from that era despite 8 hours cutscenes it got criticised for. Peace Walker and Phantom Pain were different from what we were used to and less about story and many hours of cutscenes to watch to distract the player.
Metal Gear Solid Rising (Lightning Bolt Action starring Raiden) was supposed to become a new series next to the mainline with a different team that didn't contain as much cutscenes and tactical gameplay. More focused on action gameplay to appeal to a new audience on Xbox 360. It had difficulties in development and Kojima gave it to Platinum Games and it became a one-off title instead without a sequel. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
So here we are now after nearly 10 years since Kojima parted ways with Konami Sony still wants a tactical espionage game from Kojima because it left a hole in the industry when Metal Gear pulled the plug. Their install base/Kojima's fanbase have been asking for the genre a lot too. Even people who tried to like Death Stranding wanted it to be more like MGS with strong characters to recognize. Kojima still likes the genre even if he parted ways with Konami and Metal Gear.
