Wow, Konami is just doing stupid thing after stupid thing.
Ironic that they do this, considering it was Konami's CEO who asked Kojima to work on Silent Hill, and he wanted to do it.
If I had to guess, the first game Kojima will do after leaving Konami will be horror. Hope that Guillermo Del Toro follows him.
Thanks for P.T., KojiPro, it's the best horror game I'll ever play. I've been playing Silent Hill 1, and it's nothing like this. My heart is broken right now.
I really hope Kojima forms a new studio and makes a horror game like P.T. and puts it on Kickstarter.
It would get a huge sum of money,it would give us a game we want, and send a message to good ol Konami about what they are throwing away.
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't get more than 5 million, maybe 10 million, but then again, he's a man of ambitions, and he would definitely fare better going directly to just going to another publisher.
It might give us a game that we want, but would it be a game that Kojima wants? Most publishers would kill for hiring him and giving him what he wants, why take the risk with Kickstarter? Worst case scenario, the project does not fare well and when he goes to publishers, none will take him.
