I hope and pray Kojima gets to keep the Fox Engine.
Can someone do some research and see who owns Fox Engine?

MGSV will probably not get a affected by this but god damn was I completely sold on a Silent Hill game with Kojima's name on it.

He's the reason Konami is in this position to begin with. All of the budget spent on MGS and not much room left for creativity. Before MGS, Konami has tons of franchises and makes games of all genres.
Realistically, would anyone remaining at either Konami or Kojima Productions be capable of realizing any of his ideas as actual games without him even if he did have such a thing? The original Kojima Productions Metal Gear Solid: Rising demonstrated what happened the last time he went completely hands off with a project handled over there.

The "behind the scenes, the making of MGSV" bluray will now take on a very special meaning...I wonder will it touch on this?
it'll be as fair and balanced as this...

Yup. Konami owns the Metal Gear IP, not Kojima, so it'd remain with them.

Independent means no money to make the big games we know he wants to make.
Hardly a gamer out there who hasn't seen something influenced by Kojima and his team.

Played Twin Snakes. It's not a bad game, but it's not a great game either. Kojima's a one trick pony.
Lol wtf. Konami just hasn't had much success other than MGS recently.

Um he is the reason they messed up Castlevania and ZOE, and Silent Hill?
Let me guess. America didn't really land on the moon either.

Well what other publishers in Tokyo would have the wherewithal to prop up an independent KojiPro?

YES! I've been waiting years for this! Kojima might finally live up to his potential. No more cookie-cutter MG sequels (from Kojima at least).
Snatcher, Boktai, Zone of the Enders, lots of turns to that one trick...

Time to move on to a new IP, I'm okay with this.
I think, if anything, that was an honorary title of "We'll pay you more".
And he probably tried to save his team from the lay-off's that occurred on Monday using his clout and Konami decided that they could do without him.
Oh, I'm sure there would be an absolute shit ton of people who'd back a Kickstarter if he ever created one. It would not surprise me one bit if it were to go over Star Citizen's final amount.
This too.

Troll of the century right here.
Not necessarily. There are models of a studio being independent but still receiving significant funding from a publisher.

What the hell are you talking about? Even Kamiya has said it's always been his dream to create a large scale dragon game since his obsession with dragons in his childhood and he is leading the development of the game.
You played an unbalanced remake with janky comtrols made by another developer that didn`t have the levels of polish and ambition of Kojima`s projects.
Hell the game looked worse than MGS2 while being released later on more powerful hardware.
Konami owns everything. It is all their property.

So, Kojima's gonna pack up his team and get a Kickstarter rolling for a side project, ala Inafune. Any takers?
Nope, a few guys did.
America remained planet side, as it's a continent.
Half Life 3 confirmed.

Instead of being bought out by one of the big 3, i imagine he'll end up like Sakaguchi doing contract work (and, like Sakaguchi, we'll likely see the big 3 funding a project or two)
Also, mobile

DO you really believe that a publisher isn't going to jump at the chance to publish a Kojima game?
LOL. Really? That's the game you're gonna use to judge him?

The behind the scenes Blu Ray will be an interesting experience. I just asked ToraShiro the other day if the content between the Japanese and all other versions would be the same and he said he would look into it closer to the editing phase. Now I wonder how much different it will be for a variety of other reasons.
The silver lining to all of this, is that Hideo Kojima is finally free to create all of those games that he has been wanting to make for many years - the one's he's mentioned in numerous interviews that have been on his mind for quite some time. I eagerly await playing those games.

Your posts in this thread suck. It's either obvious trolling or just pain shitposting. You have no idea what you are talking about, and don't even have experience with a game he developed.

Wow. WHAT is Konami nowadays without Kojima?
I hope this is a troll post, because it's brilliant if it is.

Virtually none. It's one of the most expensive studios in the world.
You played one game! Eveything is a one trick pony if you only play one game.
Hey guys I've only played Starcraft 2, but Blizzard is a one trick pony. ffs
