This is so socially awkward. I wonder if it's weird for Kojima to walk through the hallways at the Konami building these days.

-Foxtrot3471d ago

Apparently he has to get around now using a cardboard box so he dosent bump into people.

knifefight3471d ago

In related news, neck injuries have increased 8,000% in the last two days.

Mysterious footprints found in snow.

They found a clear cut hole in the boiler room of the office

-Foxtrot3471d ago (Edited 3471d ago )

I assume they would just see him and be like

"Hideo we can see you"

...

"Christ sake man your foot is showing out from the box"

(Opens Box)

"Go away I'm reading Super Fudge"

(Slams box down)

Headlines and articles like this is why Konami/Kojima wouldn't troll this sort of thing. It would be bad for PR. It's really a shame....Kojima doesn't deserve this sort of treatment.

badboyz093470d ago (Edited 3470d ago )

it's all over $$$$$$$$$$$

cleft53470d ago

The whole thing is unprofessional, but look at how David Hayter was treated. Its clear that neither Konami nor Kojima is very professional. Personally, I cant feel sorry for either party.

Knushwood Butt3469d ago

Or the Silent Hill 2/3 HD remaster affair.

KingKevo3470d ago

"No place for Hideo" :(

I guess this classic MGS 4 video fits his situation quite well now... unfortunately.

I see this as the beginning of a feud between those that invest in gaming just to make more money and those that invest in gaming because they want to create cool stuff.

I already chosen my side.Kojima was right, MG5 is going to be my last MG.

Rest in peace, Metal Gear. :/

Eamon3470d ago

Well.. Metal Gear had a very good run. MGS5 more or less completes the entire story.

At least this means Kojima finally has the chance to start on something new.

squeezx3470d ago

I wouldn't say weird or awkward is the way I feel. Konami doesn't have the funds anymore to support Kojima studios especially when they release one game every 5 yrs. it's just not a sustainable business model. Let's face it. MGS does not have as much of an impact on gamers as it once did.

xabmol3470d ago

What?

Name one MGS game that wasn't a super fun time, multimillion selling, triple-A critical hit.

BG115793470d ago

They should have make it like Ubisoft and release MG on a year based. That work well!
I'm not saying that your completely wrong. The industry must rethink their strategy, because it's getting more and more expensive to develop games, and players aren't ready to pay more.

ps5fanboy3470d ago

Maybe he is trolling us, and is about to announce the new silent hill on Morpheus?
With him , you never know...

The Making Of: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Konami's Underrated N64 Classic

"If you were to ask someone to name the best 3D platformers for the Nintendo 64, most people will inevitably default to listing Super Mario 64 or Rare's many collectathons from the era. But there's another classic game that we feel is often overlooked when it comes to the systems' best titles and that we think deserves to be mentioned alongside these other titans of the platforming genre, one that captured our own imagination when we were a kid: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon." - Jack Yarwood

I liked Mystical Ninja 64, but the real gem for me is Legend of the Mystical Ninja on SNES. It's one of my favorite SNES games, and actually makes my list of overall favorite games of all time. It was one of the first games that I remember that introduced co-op minigames. Seriously, I lost so many days of my life playing air hockey w friends. The co-op adventure was amazing from start to finish. Great pacing, great boss fights. I played through it so many times w different friends.

Either Nintendo needs to release these on Nintendo Switch Online, or Konami needs to put together a Goemon collection soon!

lobyz34d ago

and what ost ! very cool melodies with addition of instrument tracks according to the evolution of the level (maybe one of the first games using that)

BioDead28d ago

This used to be my favourite N64 games as a kid.

For people getting excited that Konami is back and will make more games we want now...the success is atributed to sports games and Yu-Gi-Oh. No mention of the Metal Gear Collection sales.

Abriael49d ago

It's almost like sports games aren't games. 🤔

VersusDMC49d ago

Do we want more sports games or Castlevania?🤔

Abriael49d ago

@VersusDMC Who is "We?"

I don't demand that gaming companies make only the games I want. I don't care for sports games, but it's pretty damn obvious that a LOT of people do.

VersusDMC49d ago

I was just saying that the title might suggest Konami could be back to making games Konami used to be famous for. But it isn't. I didn't demand they make another type of game...i said this isn't a sign they will make another type of game.

Keep enjoying your pachinko, sports and Yu-Gi-Oh games, bro.

Abriael49d ago

You do understand that Konami has always been quite famous for PES and Power Pro Baseball, don't you?

Also, pachinko has never been a big part of Konami's earnings and business. Just because some people meme about it, it doesn't mean it's real.

It sure would be nice to get a collection of the DS Castlevania games. Make it happen Konami. It’s easy money.

jznrpg49d ago

This. I would buy 2 copies one for me and one for my wife. It’s literally the only games she has ever played besides some PSVR2 RE. She has the entire collection but to have it all on a disc would be awesome

SegaSaturn66949d ago

Ok. And suikoden HD remake is nowhere to be found.

ROCKY2848d ago

Silent Hill 2 is going to be so awesome - if you like the original game this is a must buy for any
Physiological horror fan - IMO this crushes Resident Evil Franchise - way to go Konami for this title in the franchise !

Random: Hideo Kojima Highlights The 21st Anniversary Of 'Boktai' On GBA

No sunlight that day, apparently.

They should release it on NSO's GBA lineup. The Switch has a light sensor afterall! (Switch Lite owners would be out of luck though)

Chocoburger63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

I don't think games would be able to 'hook into' the light sensor for automatic screen brightness.
The best way to play the game is with the fan patch that lets you adjust the amount of light the game is receiving at will. Make sure not to play at max sunlight for too long, or the game will punish you, keep the sunlight meter lowered in order to keep playing longer.
