some people don't want to retire. With a mind like Kojima, i can't imagine him even thinking about it.
Nah, he's probably involved with the NX allready.
apparently Konami is denying Kojima has left the company xD hahahah
Theyre saying he's on "vacation" just who are they trying to fool

Well, there it is.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Well the article says it ends in Dec. so during this period he can't join any game studio. And since Konami is also involved in stuffs like anime, trading card, slot machine etc that will mean he (most probably) cant join any anime/trading card/slot machine etc company too.
I have such non-compete clause in my current work contract too, and my non-compete clause runs for a year.

That's why Konami booted him. He was hiding things.

Plastic cups? Come on Konami

That was probably a decision from years ago, before they decide to go full IOS and pachinko
Konami would probably deduct the cost of those cups from their pay ¬_¬

Those are the same cups used to carry pachinko balls.
That is a good example of a drive by post from someone who doesn't understand the topic they are talking about.
Thanks guys.
Didn't know the English term for that. Now I do.
I wouldn't be surprised if companies fight over him. I could definitely see MS and Sony being very interested.
Finally it's over!!!
now we'll have a canonic Metal Gear, with a team of villains and boss and cutscenes and backtracking, cool characters, cool dialogues, cool ending, cool everthing!!!
Bye Bye trolling guy, keep posting on twitter stuffs you brought, food you eaten and things like that, maybe now the time has come to open that toy shop you wanted to open time ago.
TOY SHOP HAS COME TO!!!
There's no more room for you in the Saga, thank goodness!!!

You mean the saga he built?
That's one weird ass post...
sorry guys, i'm a fan like you (the avatar speaks itself)
but this Phantom Pain is really a shame for the entire Saga.
The Gameplay is GOD, is awesom, is fantastic but the narrative, the dialogues, the character are meh.
Only toughts from a disappointed guy, it's not Vangelo.

Of course Konami are just trying to keep thingss quiet. Can't let that stock price fall perhaps.
I mean, have you ever played MGS before? Jesus.

Are you purposefully dense or just trolling?
Edit: Well you clarified it's MGS V. You made it sound like the entire series has been a dumpster truck on fire
this kind of behavior just makes the new boss look shady as hell, wtf are they thinking
no no guys, i'm disappointed for TPP, for the "missing link part" of the game and for the dialogues, characters, ending and so on (just like i said, the gameplay is GOD!!)
The other MG are good, awesome!!! (specialy MGS-MGS2-MGS3, of course there was Fukushima on the script....)
They barely make games any more either.
There can only be one proper destination.
Sonic Team.

I haven't finished MGSV yet, but based on how many people are saying the ending is disappointing, I'm really disappointed to hear the saga is ending on a sour note.
In fact, I'm finding MGSV disappointing in a lot of ways. The engine is fantastic, but the long length of the game combined with it's lack of variety is making it somewhat repetitive. The plot is by far the weakest of any MGS game, as it completely takes a backseat. And no David Hayter is a huge deal, especially since it's the last in the series; it's shitty that he didn't get to see it through to the end.
Oh, and I'm well aware that Konami could make more MG games without Hideo Kojima, but without him (and the director of the Fox Engine, not to mention David Hayter), as far as I'm concerned, any future games are "spinoffs". The main saga is over.

Maybe they are celebrating that Silent Hills is 50% done

Sorry, it's still a weird ass post, and the avatar doesn't mean much.
Except the fact that the gameplay is a few million miles ahead of all the previous parts, and the fact that the cheesy dialogue, or rather the lack of it, is better in TPP, the story is as good or bad as in most entries. Unfortunately not all entries are as good as 3, I don't even think it could be possible, but trashing a perfectly fine game cause it didn't meet your outlandish expectations has made GAF (and i suppose other forums too) a very unpleasant place the last few weeks.

Totally! Say, we should find some Castlevania and Silent Hill fans! They can tell us how awesome Konami made their series when they fired the original staff of those games!
Help us get psyched up for the bright future of Metal Gear!

TACTICAL SURVIVAL HORROR ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
i love the saga with all my heart, like all of you, but this game has disappointed me too much.(mean the plot). That's all.
I think every major publisher would build him his own studio if he wishes so. Everything is possible but the most sense makes Sony imho.
It's ok. Stay disappointed. It will pain me, but I'll live.

Nothing keeps him from *thinking really hard* about his next game, though
Or writing the story, or writing down gameplay mechanics and ideas etc
Which is all he has to do, anyway.
Exactly. People getting together and brainstorming can't be stopped or monitored.
I would be scared if he had started working on a new one so soon anyway.

Yeah but this is Konami though... They might just try.

Styrofoam cups and a distinct absence of food and/or cake makes this a fitting farewell from Konami to the man that made them billions and gave 30 years of his life to.
May he continue to wow us soon.
Nah, they won't be able to do shit. If it happens, Kojima just won't be able to announce it for a year.

I am pretty sure people like Kojima have tons of never-developed games in their heads.
He just needs to pick one and focus on fine mechanics.
Heck, I have at least 20 game concepts in my head. And they are all awesome.
More meat for the Konami staff grinder, I assume - those pachislot machines aren't going to assemble themselves. Even if Kojima does secure a very favourable deal that gives him his own studio out of the gate, there's no way he'd be able to relocate his entire team.
I hope they'd all be able to leave and find work with other developers which would adequately use their talent, but with the Japanese industry in its current state, they might opt to stay just for the stability.
