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?
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid publisher Konami has reported record profits this year, driven largely by its video games and amusements.
Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.
It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.
Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.
Half hearted? MGS: MC is the best collection of Metal Gear games you can get with tons of bonus content.
Why are you mad? Because they didn't make the games 4K so you can see the low resolution textures and warping better? Most of you cry babies never even touched the MSX Metal Gears.
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"
Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those
well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
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.
