Thanks to Shin-Ra!

Original box art:

Strickland · Jul 14, 2015

I hate Konami

orichalcos · Jul 14, 2015

Konami, Konami. What are you doing?

(Kojima was the best part of this company...)

Stratosphere · Jul 14, 2015

Time to riot

Grim Patron · Jul 14, 2015

side note: I wish publishers would stop with this day one nonsense. it just adds some boring DLC in most cases and ruins the box art. Put a sticker or something instead.

SwiftDeath · Jul 14, 2015

Eh the way they did the title font looks way too busy to me

Not really a fan of it

shinobi602 · Jul 14, 2015

Here we go.

dddooozzz9 · Jul 14, 2015

Konami is the worst JP company now.

enzo_gt · Jul 14, 2015

Kojima must've smashed the CEO's wife or husband or something. Some next level deletion of existence going on.

Zelenogorsk · Jul 14, 2015

Look so much better without that stupid "day 1 edition" banner

GameAddict411 · Jul 14, 2015

I am wondering if I should support this game or not. Kojima and his team will not be effected if it sold poorly,but Konami will. I might end up buying it used.

Defcon_2Fast4u · Jul 14, 2015

It is upsetting to see it go.
I am still not a fan of the cover art. Was hoping for a little bit more. Ground Zeroes wasn't all that great either. I ended up using the other end.

ShroudOfFate · Jul 14, 2015

Maybe when the game's out someone can shop "A Hideo Kojima Game" back on the box. Or maybe Tora would be so kind as to provide the full art so we could have it ready for launch?

Hexa · Jul 14, 2015

Seriously? Not even a KojiPro logo? This is some bullshit.

MattyG · Jul 14, 2015

DAY ONE EDITION

matrix-cat · Jul 14, 2015

Day One banner, no Shinkawa, no Hideo Kojima. I'll be printing out a fan photoshopped version for sure.

GhostWriter24 · Jul 14, 2015

Ho.

Lee.

Shit.

Betty · Jul 14, 2015

So bizarre, the group will be liquidated anyway, why go the seemingly vindictive group of erasing their logo and name from the last game they'll ever make, a game they spent so many years making?

Jigorath · Jul 14, 2015

Here we go again.

soultron · Jul 14, 2015

It's OK, someone will have a printable high res PDF cover restoring honour and glory in the OT, I'm sure.

The rest of us will be over here, shrugging.

This isn't a half-bad idea tbqh.

mgs2master2 · Jul 14, 2015

we knew this was coming to be honest.

This all day for both of these

What's in there? Some DLC blah blah?

Randam · Jul 14, 2015

Day one edition?

Wynnebeck · Jul 14, 2015

That giant Day One Edition banner is hideous.

Wolvesinthebathroom · Jul 14, 2015

The worst part about this is I'm still going to buy this day one.

udivision · Jul 14, 2015

The MGS overlapping the "Phantom Pain" only worked when the missing chunks teased the MGS name. Now they're just... overlapping in an ugly way.

Love Deterrence · Jul 14, 2015

Batzi save us all.

KINGofCRA5H · Jul 14, 2015

How petty of Konami. For shame.

Buzzman · Jul 14, 2015

Why would you have a logo for your own proprietary engine? Nobody else can even use it.

Raonak · Jul 14, 2015

Disgusting.

alr1ght · Jul 14, 2015

So what content did they cut from the day not one edition?

888 · Jul 14, 2015

I am tired of the term Day One this gen. Especially when it takes place of Hideo Kojima's spot on the cover.

Akainu · Jul 14, 2015

There need to be a version with Big Boss making a peace sign done by Yoji Shinkawa.

McDougles · Jul 14, 2015

There was absolutely no way of knowing this kind of thing would happen. This will adversely affect my gameplay experience in effect.

Konami might be a bad games company at this present time.

Basketball · Jul 14, 2015

Utterly Disgraceful

Love Deterrence · Jul 14, 2015

DLC Items:
Adam-ska Special Handgun
Personal Ballistic Shield (Silver)
Cardboard Box (Wetland)
Fatigues (Blue Urban Snake Costume)
Metal Gear Online XP Boost

(GameStop lists the map, but I believe that is included in all versions of the game!)

spindashing · Jul 14, 2015

How do you go about printing a custom?

So when the inevitable MGS6 releases certain people will not realize the absence of Hideo Kojima's involvement.

Amon-Lau · Jul 14, 2015

I'm just gonna buy a normal copy after a while, gave up my CE after the whole ordeal... =/

I know. He'd look so much more boss without that ponytail.

ugh_the_boot · Jul 14, 2015

Isn't this old news? Still lame though

Chanser · Jul 14, 2015

Would be funny if they remove his name from the credits.

NightShift · Jul 14, 2015

Mandatory: Fuck Konami.

Makoto Yuki · Jul 14, 2015

Ehh... I really don't care if Kojima's name is on the front or not. I've always found it to be very self indulgent even back in the PS2 era.

Honestly the worst part of the box art, and a terrible trend in recent box art, is the whole day one banner crap. Seriously, it's so tacky. It screams thanks for buying this game at full price!

StoneFox · Jul 14, 2015

Sure Konami, put the engine logo on the cover, but not the logo of the people who actually used the engine to make the game. That would be silly.

Tribes of Trusty · Jul 14, 2015

I hate that it is not Shinkawa's art.

Tabris · Jul 14, 2015

Man Konami is making it really hard for me to want to purchase this due to being huge douchebags about this whole thing.

It's OK to move on and go your own ways, but he was the creator of this series. No harm in having Directed by Hideo Kojima on the front.

Fancy Clown · Jul 14, 2015

Shameful. Keeping his name on my avatar until I get the game.

Mengetsu · Jul 14, 2015

I will support the game because Kojima has worked so hard on it along with his team...I say to anyone doubtful about buying it don't be. Kojima and his team want us all to enjoy the hard work they have done for us the fans. We know who made it and Kojima knows as well they will be very grateful for it. Just remember that it will be the last bit of money the company will ever see from you after the fact.
