GameSpot: Kojima to leave Konami after MGSV, power struggle, communications embargo

Zero chance. Fox Engine was funded by Konami just as everything else Kojima and Kojipro has made. It is owned by Konami. There's no ambiguity about it.

Unreal... so wait.. Kojima's name won't even be in the finished product of MGS5 now?

So MGS 6 could be a Konami - Rovio coproducction.
MGS 6 : The angry boss.
I am glad Kojima moved , MGSneeded a and end anyway , now he can work ona an epic new series about spies, war and machines , I would like tonse him to work something on the 2WW specially all tha Nazi methaphisical researchs, or he can do somehting located on the future like Deus Ex.

I just cannot read through 42 pages, so did anyone address within pages 2-41 what may happen with Silent Hills?

Now i just can't stop thinking about Konami messing with the actual game. Censoring,removing and re-editing stuff,etc. Then forcing him and his team to work and support it two months post launch. That would be like literal hell for them
It's between Konami and Guillermo del Toro, i guess it's safe..... kinda

It's depressing how all three of the big third parties of the SNES golden era are now little more than hollowed out corpses worn by companies with zero interest in making good games as opposed to games that turn a quick ROI. I wonder what sorcery is at work preventing Nintendo itself from suffering the same fate: perhaps it's a focus on their hardware as well, which makes recent Nintendo-related developments somewhat worrying...

what does this mean for Silent Hills?
Honestly, this probably gives Kojima a chance to finally move on.

do
do people actually think that kojima gets to keep a game engine just because he named it after something from his games

Yeah do they make any console games anymore besides pes and metal gear..?
Do they even have any more internal studios?

Doubtful. SC's Kickstarter success is an extreme outlier where they tapped a starved space sim market at the right time. KS is more of a western thing anyways.
If Kojima is going to remain in Japan, which is likely, there's not many places to go to get big funding for console games. Sony and Japan Studio is the best candidate.

Good. Let Konami burn to the ground.

I've seen a lot of weirdly out-of-touch things today but this one really takes the cake. I saw it on twitter and facebook.
I do.

They either are removing all easter eggs related to Kojima and the studio or adding even more.
Seriously. I haven't had much time to read this thread yet because I'm at work, but some of you guys HAVE to be thinking this is just a massive, massive troll... right?
No one knows for sure, but Kojima Productions were developing it along with Kojima, and they are no more.

No research necessary. His crew made it while working for Konami. Konami owns it.

The tech stays with the company - that's for sure.
This is why we got a game that ran like crap on source from respawn.

Or Konami can contract him to work on it

This is by far my greatest fear right now. I'll be able to live without Kojima-directed MGS games going forward, Phantom Pain looks like it is supposed to close the loop on the whole story. But if Konami goes in and fucks with what Kojima has done just to spite him? Ugh.

Sometimes dreams come true.
that's not how employment works?
I wouldn't want to work for Konami again, even as a freelance, if I were him.

so he either is going to start up his own studio, join one or simply retire.
Too much effort has been put in and Kojima wouldn't pull something that could cause stocks to take a hit.

Konami own KojiPro which owns Fox Engine.

Hey guys MGS will be fine just look at how great Final Fantasy still is after Sakaguchi left
It's too bad that this is how Metal Gear ends.
So, you picked the game that is not labelled "A Hideo Kojima Game" to judge all Kojima games? Nice trolling

He already has his own studio. He needs to buy his freedom.
It's like a divorce. Konami keeps the kids. Kojima gets visitation rights and the Fox Engine.

Kojima will have to license his own engine if he ever wants to use it. That would hurt like hell.
I hope so, but it doesn't sound like Kojima and Konami are getting along very well, he might not want to work with Konami period.
I hope so though, I really hope so.
