Hideo Kojima may be parting ways with Konami. In a recent fallout which led to restricted access to company resources, Kojima and key developers will have limited opportunities to promote Metal Gear 5. What’s Next For Hideo Kojima?
Hideo Kojima and PlayStation go together like hobbits and breakfasts. That is to say, they're meant to be together, but they're also happy to serve up a PC port or afternoon tea if the time is right. Kojima's long-time collaboration with Sony means it always feels odd to see his name next to an Xbox logo, like Master Chief appearing on your PS5 or glimpsing your teacher in the big Tesco doing her weekly shop.
yawn. ^ All of this opinion piece sounds like someone’s recount when they get out of the norm and go on a hiking vacation and boast about their “life changing moments” over things extremely common and accessible to everyone. Get a rocket ship and take some selfies already. jezzus .
If you missed out on old games it’s nothing to apologize for. Just the way life goes sometimes. We can’t access everything in our short lives.
Luckily, everyone seems to like Death Stranding 2
Kojima has always been full of it... this is another example of his BS.
Kojima is as dumb as a stack of bricks. 🤷 His lust over gamers hating his games is just silly. He's a lousy story teller and he should stick to making games built around compelling gameplay.... The moment a cutscene starts my eyes auto roll.
Dumb as a stack of bricks? Funny, some comments have the same effect on me. Instant eye roll.🙄
I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.
I'm playing through it for my first time, enjoying parts of it, and other parts not so much. It's definitely a Kojima ass game in all the good and bad ways. Honestly the combat/stealth sucks ass in it tho, which is really the worst part for me, which is a bit inconceivable given MGS V.
Exactly. The combat and stealth suck and are just shoehorned in to deliver a layer of challenge.
Hold your breath when going through the same BT areas EVERY time.
Nonsense about weather forecasts when it ALWAYS rains in certain areas no matter what.
Tedious Cliff fights.
Dumb BT fights that you can 100% walk (wade) away from without the enemies attacking you.
Broken lore about dead bodies.
The list is long.
Having said that, I've platinumed both versions from scratch.
Then why do a sequel straight away?
Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.
How world affairs shaped the core theme around ‘connection’ in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
Hard to guess. Hes a game developer that seems like hes leaving konami so im thinking he'll go on to become an archaeologist.
Hopefully he finishes Silent Hills before he leaves.
Hopefully on to movies in lieu of games...so tired of hearing about this guy!
Just curious but how do you guys seem to think that hes going to finish silent hills when MGS 5 isnt even done yet? You guys do know his main work right now is on MGS 5 until that is gold. How would it work that he would stay for a couple more years to get silent hills done when it seems like hes going to depart as soon as metal gear is done.
I personally see Kojima starting his own studio. He will get so much support as he is one of the best minds in gaming that has ever existed.
This whole thing is disgusting. The real question is what's next for Konamj. Are they prepared to deal with being irrelevant? I really doubt Kojima will have trouble finding work.
