Yeah that was one of the low points in his career so far. Just because his team fucked up, they had to outsource MGR to Platinum.
I said it multiple times but it looks like MGSV will be Kojima's last Metal Gear game for now.... so i'm very worried about the future of MGS.
They are very talented but can't do shit without their leader Kojima.
I am actually very excited to see what him and his team do with Silent Hills.
