Sounds like GBEast just finished up some more Kerbal Space Program... uh... misadventures. Looks like things did not go well for the poor creatures of Kerbin.
This is quickly becoming a new favorite feature for me. I WANT MORE NOW!

load times are pretty fast. not sure if it's because it's digital only now but loading is a nonissue.

Nice
Pretty non-existent outside of taking a taxi which takes a few seconds. Not something I'd thought about once in the 35 or so hours I have in Yakuza 5 as of now.

The preview at the end of the last ep was amazing. Great new series. Just hope we see actual progress being made in the next couple eps.
Here's a dumb question, how were the load times in 4? I can't remember if I started getting annoyed because of constant load times or if the hostess club part was just boring.

It is fantastic. I have zero idea how to Kerbal so I enjoy watching this series. I can imagine the Kerbal masters losing their mind watching it, though.

I am so glad the guys are having fun with Kerbal.

I honestly don't remember because I played the hostess parts of 4 with a wiki pulled up that I was constantly checking so during loads I was looking at that, lol.

Kerbal is a great game.
Its the first game I have played in years that literally made a entire afternoon go by in a single session without me noticing.
I have been a bit afraid to jump back into the game since then.

Tomorrow I go home for a month-long (!!!!!) winter break. I'm trying to plan out how many video games I can finish over break in between GOTY content.
It's an amazing, dark hole I am about to enter.

yea, i don't remember either. it's been a while. the load times never really bothered me much beyond Y2.

the loads into fights in 4 weren't fantastic, but I don't remember them being that bad all around
it's a little rough going back into 5 after playing two ps4 games. but it's not that bad.

It's even rougher going back after playing Yakuza 0

The only thing that's bumming me out about Yakuza 5 is how much less bloody the combat is. All body damage/brusing has been removed and blood no longer stains clothing. Someone told me that was fixed back to Yakuza 3/4 standards in Zero though.
Well the end of the Bombcast confirmed that they are shooting GOTY video, so that's pretty cool. It sounds like they're filming separately, probably kinda like last year, but also who knows what they did when they were all together (besides podcasting). Sounds weird too, Jeff's video involves him drinking actual alcohol and Brad almost smoked a real cigarette for his. Weird.
Well that's...something. This could end up being great, or it could end up being complete garbage.
Part of me hopes its just 30 minute compliations of Griffin's vines

I wonder if Justin and Griffin are gonna stay at Polygon if this actually happens
i listened to that cast when it first started five years ago
no way it's any good still
This is for a low rent streaming service being done as a side thing by a major corporation. I doubt it'll be big enough to be a full time gig.

You haven't listened to the Totino's episode.

I wish I hadn't read this but at the same time this is the greatest thing ever in the history of games.
I listened for about 6 months after it first started and it was the funniest fucking thing in the world. tears every week laughing so hard. but it eventually lost it's power, then they did those stupid add, then i stopped listening.
Not going to lie that was pretty neat for a second.
Whoa WHOA. I haven't been keeping up with MBMBaM for a long time now, stuck with Adventure Zone instead, but I'm intrigued in what this could be.
That end to Killer Pam was pretty great.
All the Yakuza talk online made me try 3 again, was 4 hours into it and before I knew it was pushing 18.
4 is in my download list as well so can't wait to play that straight after. These games are bat shut crazy but soo great.
PS3 back in action with this series and also need to finish Ni No Kuni...I really need to put the time into Witcher 3 and MGSV on the PC and I'm here spending more time on the PS3...

Kojima did not waste any time confirming his post Konami plans. Boy that was surprisingly quick.
Interested to hear what the scale of the project is. As much as I dig Kojima's work, I think it'd be kind of dumb of Sony to put as large a budget as he's known for on a new franchise for him.

I really, really hope it's something in the vein of PT. That game had a ton of promise.
I'm kinda shocked he can just call his new studio Kojima Productions again. You'd think Konami would've had some stake in that name.
Kojima better keep working with Shinkawa. That dude needs to keep getting work. One of the best technical designers out there.
While I really dug PT, I kind doubt it would've worked at the scale of a full game. That game's tricks would've gotten old real quick and I'm not sure what else they could've added to extend it. I'll be down for whatever he tries, though. No matter what it is, it certainly will be interesting.

The key questions I have from this are: Are the extremely talented team from old Kojipro joining him and will this new IP be in development 5+ years?
Yeah, I've been a bit lazy with that. Perhaps I should make a crazy avatar bet?

Seems that is the reason that the name was being taken down from everywhere within Konami.
Time this was updated...

The new logo is nice.
Holy fucking shit.
I thought this was a joke, like someone just edited a skull over Kojima Productions. But this is legit. Holy shit. This is amazing.
it's really hard to understand the ways of Japanese devs, relationships don't seems as leader focused as western development.
still, i imagine the top staff would follow him
Rumors floating around were at least some key staff were coming with him, but we of course have no confirmation of anything yet. I kinda doubt he resurrected the studio even in name and left key people behind. Some of the major staff may have been able to pickup new gigs quickly, but I suspect a significant portion couldn't. You also have the fact this must've been in the works for a good while.
Is it possible that Konami actually let him own the studio name? I mean, we all knew he was a powerful force in Konami for a good while, but that idea seems crazy.
