Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Konami is making a "New Metal Gear"
- Thread starter foxbeldin
- Start date
This is old news, before they made a statment about focusing mostly on mobile and pachinko.
So, hopefully, they leave well enough alone.

Kojima is not a programmer and Konami payed the staff for this engine.

The qualification they forgot to list is being okay with prison like work environments.
My thought too. The timing and how this hardly seems subtle... I think pubs usually do this kind of thing in a more low key way.
Ah, never mind then. Still, the way Konami has been acting, you'd almost expect they could be like this.

Even though I know it's old news, I'll never support this piece of shit company ever again.

I'd be more happy if they finished the last once 1st.

No greater good, no just cause.
Konami: We're already a demon.
Konami: We're already a demon.
Start off as the Boss being brought into a war zone by chopper. Excitement levels are through the roof. You're going to finally play the legendary soldier who was the root of it all. Pachinko machine lands on the ground, meters away from the Boss. She gives a speech to all the soldiers, who unite and end the war so that they can play pachinko together. End opening scene.
- Featuring never before seen gameplay
- 2 buttons for double the fun
- Buy Konami Koins to win Virtual Koins
- Witness the return of the Boss!

This isn't an active boycott or anything, but I see a very very low chance that I'll buy another (new) Konami game in the future
There have been good Metal Gears not directed by Kojima. The thing is those staff have already left Konami years ago or have now to join Kojipro.
Aside from Hideo Kojima, since Shinkawa went to his new studio, does this mean they'll also have no Shinkawa to work on MGS? Or is he going to be a freelance in that sense?
If they outsource it to some western company on a budget like they did with Silent Hill, it'll be hilarious.

I doubt any of the main creative staff that worked on MGS still work for Konami. No way Shinkawa will make art for it.
There is Ashley Wood(Portable Ops, Peace Walker) and Masao Tsubasa(Metal Gear Ac!d) though. Both are really great in their own right. Just keep it away from Platinums artists.
It's Konamis engine. Always was. Always will be.

How exactly is it his engine?
Mind you, I love Kojima, and the FOX engine is great, but who do you figure financed that thing?
Kojima has no claim to that engine, sad as it may be to admit.
On-topic: I can't imagine this is anything more than a statement to save face in regards to investors. I will eat my hat (I don't wear one but I'll find one) if Konami actually puts out a console-level MG game.

Between the manner in which Kojima was fired and the post-release support for MGSV actively making the game worse, Konami's behaviour and decision making was simply unacceptable.
Given the budget and manpower, of course any experienced game development company could be able to make a good game with the IP. Konami probably won't be the one to do it with their focus on pachislot, mobile and loss of talent, but maybe they'll farm something out, who knows.
Well, that's just being ignorant of reality.

Fine by me. I'll take a sequel to the best game in the series, since it wasn't by Kojima anyway.

I agree. Can't wait for Snake's Revenge Revenge.

I'm sure a metal gear solid 6 will be a multimillion seller as long as its not complete trash.

I truly can't understand why any fan of the series would like to play a MGS game (mainline title) not made by Kojima.
As I've said before, to me it would be like reading a GoT book not written by George Martin.
A spin-off like Rising could be nice though.

I loved the Gameboy Color game and it wasn't made by Kojima
Yup, that's an awesome game. I should've clarified, I'm talking about the mainline series.

And I will be having lots of fun putting all these little small silver pachinko balls into it..

I liked Portable Ops! A lot. Neither games are as complex as MGS6 would be though. That being said, I would buy mgs6 as long as it didn't look like dogshit. More TPP gameplay should be awesome.

GAF was disappointed by MGS5 so hopefully now that Kojima 's gone the series can return to greatness. Right? Lol
Isn't pretty much everything in Revengeance done by Shinkawa though? Or are you referring to something else?

Gonna buy this used, if at all.
Konami's not gonna see my money for a non-Kojima Metal Gear for sure.

Gaf was do dissapointed by metal gear solid 5s story that no one ever talks about the gameplay

And I bet the snappy and responsive game play is what Konami fucks up, if they fucks it up. That to me is more 'Kojima' than anything else about the series, minus story.
Surely not. But I have no idea. The game came back looking completely different and none of the characters in Rising were shown in the trailers when it was being made by Kojipro.
It's visual design is pure Platinum imo.

I cannot wait for the review thread. How far out do you think we are? Holiday 2017?
How about they keep sand and add snow
