So Konami will now keep releasing new Metal Gear Solid games and annual PES titles?
I wonder how MGS will change without Kojima, as in which direction will they take it.
If I were MS I'd try and form a partnership with Konami which would see the Microsoft Games Group finance, develop and publish future MGS games with Konami keeping ownership of the IP and getting a license fee.
This would allow Konami to keep exploiting the MGS brand/IP for gambling machines or whatever without having to actually finance and publish any new games and it would give MS a feather in their gaming portfolio.
