Or Nintendo. God knows they need him more.

The amount of salt and tears on Internet would be beyond any human understanding.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Nothing we didn't know unfortunately.

Sony must be excited at the prospects of a Kojima independent from Konami. Hope they give him whatever he wants and needs.

A Kojima outside the games industry would not be the same.

 

[xxracerxx]

Nintendo, please hire Kojima to make a Zelda game, if he isnt under contract anymore

Maybe the worst idea in a long time.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Outer Heaven Productions.

Make it happen Kojima!

 

[Ridley327]

I wanted to make a thread but maybe it isn't warranted so I'll ask about it in here:

How will MGO function? Surely as an online pvp experience it'll need a good flow of patches coming out at the very least for the first 6/8 months. What about it now without a team to work on them? And who knows just how much or how little DLC is done already and what are Konami's plans for that?

Do you guys think Metal Gear Online is basically dead already?

KojiPro LA is going to continue to exist after the anticipated departures of Kojima and the senior staff, so I really doubt anything is going to change for that aspect of MGS5.

 

[soulassssns]

MGS V is the last Konami game I'll buy confirmed.

I think it depends on how well it does in the period between launch and when Kojima contract's up. If it's successful I'm sure they'll find reasons to throw money at it and keep it alive.

 

[Akainu]

This needs the glass throw.

 

[Blobbers]

Fuck...

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

Or Nintendo. God knows they need him more.

they do

but he could accomplish so much more with Sony.

and besides, he has no nintendo fanbase to speak of

 

[xxracerxx]

Fuck...

Oh my.

 

[Todesritter74]

SCEJ presents...

A Studio Hideo production...

'Alloy Cog One'

 

[SJRB]

Here's to you, Hideo and Yoji. Rest forever, here in our hearts.

 

[Wagram]

Last Metal Gear I purchase, end of an era. Hopefully Kojima is picked up and has his own team somewhere. I would probably shit a brick if he went to SCEJ or FROM.

 

[thegirlleastlikelyto]

Dare you to post this in a Smash Brothers thread

 

[JP]

Doesn't really bother me.

As much as I love MGS, I don;t think it's anything without him. I have far more interest in what Kojima will produce next than I do with the next MGS without him. He'll land on his crazy, nuclear powered feet and hopefully end up making the games that he wants to make, which can only be good thing. If he really wanted to he could walk straight into any of the three first party companies or pretty much any third party team that he wants to.

 

[Savitar]

All things come to an end.

But we knew this.

 

[BadWolf]

Or Nintendo. God knows they need him more.

He has more of an audience on Xbox than he does with Nintendo.

Sony is easily the best option for him though.

 

[Love Deterrence]

MATA SETA NAAAAA?????????

 

[GuardianE]

Why would someone make this gif without the glass toss?

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Fuck...

Is... Is that an old picture of him?

 

[Tesseract]

goodbye

 

[Akainu]

True story Kojima actually fixed the relationship of Akio Otsuka and his father Chikao Ohtsuka (played Big Boss) with MGS4.

 

[Taker34]

Don't worry guys. Konami will leave traditional gaming business in 2018, sell the MGS IP to Sony who are giving Kojima full control of it in his new studio - which is part of the WWS. MGS VI will be announced a year later.

Spoiler

Oh... It was just a dream...

 

[Parakeetman]

You know shit is bad when even the Japanese VAs speak out.

 

[Rymuth]

 

[Rei no Otaku]

Now Kojima can kickstart his spiritual sequel to Zone of the Enders 2!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

The Konami booth on Comic-con is literally just Yu-Gi-Oh. That is it.

R.I.P. Konami.



Or Nintendo. God knows they need him more.

??

What on earth would they do with him though? =/

 

[Lynd7]

If Nintendo was smart they would chase Kojima, get him working on NX games. It wouldn't matter where his audience is, they will follow eventually.

 

[robb_w7]

I don’t have any more tears to shed, building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing, you mustn't allow yourself to be chained to fate, to be ruled by your genes. Human beings can choose the kind of life that they want to live. What's important is that you choose life... and then live.

Spoiler

I need scissors 61!

Really?

Very nice.

 

[SargerusBR]

 

[kewlmyc]

Fuck Konami, etc.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Why would someone make this gif without the glass toss?

I know, that's the version I was expecting

 

[Azih]

Will Snake go the way of Megaman?

 

[xxracerxx]

God, why do they have to outline that? It is better if you actually make the person read it.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Hope they end on a high note.
What a team.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Really? Wow.

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

If Sony was smart they would chase Kojima, get him working on PS4 games. It wouldn't matter where his audience is, they will follow eventually.

that's the most likely, smartest scenario

 

[Auctopus]

A Fox Studio announcement at PSX is a pipe dream but one worth waking up to every morning.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Will Snake go the way of Megaman?

Doubt it unless Kojima has no luck getting anything else off the ground.

edit: assuming you mean the way of Mighty No. 9.

[robb_w7]

Is it just me that hopes MGS V is the last ever MGS game?


Im a huge fan and MGS is probably my favourite series, im just worried about Konami milking it

It won't be. Expect remakes and quasi-sequels. Expect card games and iOS games and Snake featured in a slot machine.

 

[Love Deterrence]

fortunately they have great video game franchize like resident evil hd, devil may cry and mighty nomber 9

 

[robotrock]

God, why do they have to outline that? It is better if you actually make the person read it.

Agreed. I just opened up Microsoft Paint to do this.

 

[Robot Pants]

sony should hire kojima to head a new japanese studio.

It'd be almost a death blow to the competition. So they should

 

[Liquidsnake]

I really feel like I lost something. This series is so important to me on an emotional level, it just hurts and makes me sad.

Snatcher/Policenauts spiritual successor Kickstarter incoming.
