we can put to rest the rumor that half of old Kojipro followed Kojima to form new Kojipro.

Yeah it shows in so much of the game, the art, animations and other stylistic things.... even menus.

The info everyone clicked for:

Of the some 117 core developers who worked on the game (Death Stranding) at Kojima Productions, 65 worked at Kojima's former Konami studio – and 60 worked on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

A core team of around 250 people worked on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Virtually all of Death Stranding's lead design and art positions came from former Metal Gear staff, with most newcomers working in programming positions.

NEVER GONNA BUY IT.....

I kinda want to buy it, but I just don't know if I'll like and can't really justify spending the money right now.

I think this is a pretty good transition. 60 out of 250, and mostly staffing major positions with the same people, is a lot better than how these famous creator divorces usually go.

As long as none of those 65 people are the ones responsible for padding out the last half of Phantom Pain with slightly harder versions of missions you already played this should be okay.
