The world: Hideo Kojima?! At this time of year?!? In this part of the country!? : Localized entirely within your business after all that's happened?

Konami: Oh Yes! Kojima still works for us. He's right on-board with us!

The world: Can we see him?

Konami: Errm No

The lowest selling mgs, confirmed.

 

[Kyzer]

Something feels so nasty about this

 

[Katori]

Guessing it'll be an Assassin's Creed style sequel that comes out Fall 2017 that is almost mechanically identical to MGSV with some new minor mechanics and new weapons/vehicles/buddies.

This would be fine. Especially if it moved out of the pre-MG time period and into the post-MGS4 time period, that way it doesn't touch Kojima's legacy at all

Spoiler

for those who don't want it to.

 

[Barakov]

I have no doubt there's a group of talented people out there that can make a great MGS without Kojima. But the current Konami, with it's mobile first strategy, is not that group.

I'd take a game that is mechanically identical to MGS5 over something Konami shits out by themselves.

 

[REDSLATE]

Here's last season's Kojima, enjoying his vacation!

Spoiler

It's from Running Man in case you don't get the joke.

I got the reference, man. No need to hand-hold the kids.

 

[James Scott]

Konami REALLY have nerve!

I thought Pachinko machines used steel balls

 

[PeterLegend]

Interesting to ser where the direction of the franchise goes. I'm hoping for more silliness, more cutscenes and wouldnt mind a "linear" experience

 

[Shenmue]

I wonder if Sony announced they've hired Kojima at PSX in December, they'd still say he's on vacation.

 

[The Silver]

I love how they keep saying Kojima's on vacation, holy fuck just own up to it, everyone already knows you fired his off.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Konami preparing for the next MGS:

Breaking news, looks like they've began already!

 

[BlitzKeeg]

This is telling lol:



I know they own gyms in Japan, but being described as a Tokyo based fitness company?

LOL

Gambling isn't technically legal in Japan

Both 10/10. Marvellous.

 

[BlitzKeeg]

Kept you waiting huh?

 

[Muffdraul]

I got the reference, man. No need to hand-hold the kids.

I'm 46 and just re-watched Running Man on blu-ray a few months ago. And I still didn't get it.

 

[McLovin]

Konami's only hope at getting more money out of the MGS series is to redo all the older games in the fox engine. I would totally buy a remaster.

 

[dhonk]

Hahahahhaha

[DeepEnigma]

You know what would have been better to prepare for?

Silent Hills.

 

[Quick]

MGSV: The Phantom Chapter

 

[Yoshi]

If Kojima's contract ends in december and he just doesn't have to work anymore until then, isn't he technically on vacation?

 

[Loakum]

MGSV already feels like a non-kojima game tbh.

I totally see what you mean.

 

[Panajev2001a]

It just feels.. incomplete. The ending is really abrupt and a lot of things just don't fit together.

Gee, I wonder what happened in the last year and something of development... .

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Metal Gear Venom 2

maybe get all the level and menu designers, and whoever is closest to Koji's 'level design #2' to direct it, to make it even more of a MGS x XCOM style game (sans the RMT/pay2win stuff but probably a necessary evil for that type of game to ever get developed by Konami)

 

[bomma_man]

If Kojima's contract ends in december and he just doesn't have to work anymore until then, isn't he technically on vacation?

His restraint of trade clause ends in December. Technically he's just unemployed!

 

[big_z]

I love how they keep saying Kojima's on vacation, holy fuck just own up to it, everyone already knows you fired his off.

they probably figure they can fire kojima then hire him on contract and hell come back because mgs is his baby. being on contract would keep him on a financial leash.

 

[brau]

Konami is preparing so hard that they closed down their LA house.
