The LaLeLuLeLo?!

 

[ItsLeebo]

MGSV is basically done and I'm confident that Kojima if he wanted to continue doing anything will find a way to do it and it would be great


What i'm absolutely worried about is the status of Silent Hills

 

[LiK]

Tora ain't gonna say shit in here, lol

 

[Nzyme32]

Interesting situation. I'd hope Kojima goes independent if he has had to / decided to leave.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain |OT| A [Redacted] game

This is pretty [redacted]

 

[Mookie1515]

I'm 89% certain this is all just an elaborate ruse.


Remember Moby Dick Studios, anyone?

Joking around with Moby Dick before the game was announced for sure was one thing, but this is delisting a major member of a publicly traded company. You don't mess around when stock price is on the line.

 

[params7]

Snake wasn't Snake to me without Hayter. With Kojima leaving himself, it'll be easier to finally say goodbye to MGS franchise (even if Konami keep pumping them in the background like RE/Ass Creed).

Nintendo working on mobile projects, Kojima leaving Konami... What's next, guys? WHAT?

Last Guardian a summer 2015 release.

Konami just initiated Order 66 to Kojima.

Why so complicated




Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain |OT|

 

[Keihart]

Sony would be fucking stupid not to chase him down. His games are consistently some of their best system selling exclusives.

If Kojima-san ends up at studio Japan, that means Keichiro Toyama teaming up with Hideo Kojima for the true spiritual succesor of Silent Hill :O!!!

MGSV is not done, they're at a very critical phase right now as Kojima said in his latest video.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Business has changed.

But seriously, what the hell?

 

[RK9039]

IGN: Kojima to start his new kickstarter game, Zone of the Police Snatchers.

Whaaaaaaaat the fuck. I'd love (and hate) it to be April Fools joke but this shit is just waaaay too serious. Thanks DetectiveGAF, you're the best.

Konami deserves this after what they did to castlevania.

 

[Ushiwaka]

Holy shit. This is huge. Wonder what happens to the future MGS games.

 

[Zia]

Between whatever this is, Nintendo going mobile and lawyers under the guise of Atari going after Jeff Minter, it's been a queasy week for games.

 

[Easy_D]

We'll be reminded when it becomes Kojima's real independent studio.

Kojima to become Swedish citizen, change his name to Joakim Mogren and open up a Swedish game studio. You heard it here first folks!

 

[iNvid02]

entering the konami code does not make "a hideo kojima game" reappear

It's no longer about ideology.

Eurogamer Report

This part is new

Konami issued Eurogamer a follow-up statement on the changes:
"As we have already announced, we are shifting our production structure to a headquarters-controlled system, in order to establish a steadfast operating base capable of responding to the rapid market changes that surround our digital entertainment business."

Eurogamer Report

Anything of substance or just click-bait ?

You gotta deserve those.

 

[AlphaQuack]

Maybe he's starting his hip hop career

His hit single will be "La-li-lu-le-lo".

 

[Cre8]

This move wouldn't jeopardize the Sep. 1st MGSV release, right?

Dreamcast 2 is coming !!!

The vampire powers Sakurai gave him are starting to wear off.

 

[nephilimdj]

What if Kojima got drunk yesterday due to st patrick's day and jokely said he quit?
They are removing his name, while he sits in the corner wearing a celtics basketball tshirt

 

[scrambles]

This part is new

Looks like konami is going mobile

 

[Sami+]

His team started working on MGS6 but they fucked it up again, so Konami asked Kojima again to come back but this time he said definitely no so they erase the Kojima Productions logo from MGSV were his team worked over 5 fucking years on it.

I swear if this happened then I'm done with Konami.


Oh my god I hope I'm wrong.

I think there's more to it than just that tbh

 

[Condemned]

So is he still working on Silent Hills?

 

[zeroOman]

I am feeling April Fools' Day.... he is building for it.... i feel it .... right guys?

 

[Qurupeke]

Nintendo working on mobile projects, Kojima leaving Konami... What's next, guys? WHAT?

The end of videogames as we know them.

 

[Inferno313]

This move wouldn't jeopardize the Sep. 1st MGSV release, right?

Game sounds basically done, probably going through play tests and bug fixes. Even if Kojima is completely out, that game is definitely coming out Sep 1st, imo.

Depends if there is a lawsuit happening, I imagine.

 

[OnionPowder]

I am feeling April Fools' Day.... he is building for it.... i feel it .... right guys?

No. April 1st is the beginning of the fiscal year in Japan.

Same day that Square and Enix merged

 

[Alienous]

Fuck.

This isn't going to be good.

EDIT:
Wait a second...

If Kojima-san ends up at studio Japan, that means Keichiro Toyama teaming up with Hideo Kojima for the true spiritual succesor of Silent Hill :O!!!

Sony funds Quiet Mountain coming 2018 <3

Whaaa is that real?

Edit: can't find tweet, must be fake.

 

[Nzyme32]

This move wouldn't jeopardize the Sep. 1st MGSV release, right?

Looks like it might just be a restructure and focus on branding. Kojima may still be there. Not enough info yet for all this knee jerk response stuff

Edit: Perhaps I stand corrected already ^^^ / shopped
