Kojima can get hired anywhere at what ever price he ask after his konami contract ends, but I doubt konami will ever find a half decent enough replacement.

 

[beinfilms]

So, we can all agree that Konami has basically signed its own death warrant by doing this, right? I mean, was Metal Gear not the main thing keeping them alive? And I like to think that Metal Gear fans are smart enough to recognize how much worse taking Kojima out of the picture will make the series.

Man, I just realized this means no modern remake of the original Metal Gears (that's 1 and Solid Snake, not MGS, of course) with all of the current lore.

We're going to get a reboot, though. Believe it

Yeah, but if Kojima's not involved, it's pretty likely that I won't even acknowledge its existence.

We're all going to buy it in an attempt to validate our dislike of Kojima's departure. A good chunk of us are going say "It's good, but not as good as it once was"

...yeah, I know. But I still like to tell myself I'll still be so outraged I'll act like it doesn't exist. (Even though I'll totally buy it, anyway.)

Death of the games division maybe but the company will be fine as a whole as gaming isn't even the biggest earner in their industry. Arcade machines and mobiles are. But to be honest outside of Kojipro their gaming division might as well not exist.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

BOY I can't wait for next weeks podcast. After all the Konami and Kojima Fallout it should be a Lengthy one.

 

[Xiraiya]

The last actual Metal Gear game made without any real Kojima input was Portable Ops I believe, and he doesn't even regard it as really being canon.
The event it's based around is apparently canon and did happen, but not how it played out.

 

[mike0dude]

I can call it right now, konami shoots itself in the foot, decide that best decision is to cut off both their legs to insure company's video game division's future.
Then 30 minute of them talking about what kojima could go do and what they wish he would do.

 

[beinfilms]

- Yu-gi-oh
- No

Is that still a thing? I never really got into Yu-Gi-Oh, because there was a divide between Yu-Gi-Oh and pokemon fans at my school, and I went pokemon.

Also, I said I like to think that. Not that I actually do.

 

[TechnicaUS]

My copy of xenoverse finally showed up! Can't wait to actually play it

 

[mike0dude]

Skullgirls is like 3.75 on GMG. All the dlc is on sale too.

 

[croten]

Dammit, not getting Armoured Core: For Answer until at least next week.

I could get Verdict Day by Monday however, is Verdict Day any better or worse than For Answer?

 

[Jman014]

Aw man even Awesomesauce can't escape from having a shower scene in episode 2

 

[E_Darkness]

Urgh. My microSD card hasn't even dispatched yet. Which is fine, but if my N3DS isn't here till tomorrow then I guess I ain't using it until next week at the earliest...

Also from the 15 minutes I watched of the Front Mission 3 video, I really like it. I might just buy it on PSN.

 

[Xiraiya]

Aw man even Awesomesauce can't escape from having a shower scene in episode 2

Episode 2 looks like it'll be a good time.

 

[DoktorEvil]

I'm terrified of the future of video games now.

Even I was never cynical enough to see Metal Gear without Kojima...

 

[TechnicaUS]

Aw man even Awesomesauce can't escape from having a shower scene in episode 2

Well, duh. How can you have a mature story without a shower scene?

Spoiler

/s

 

[Xiraiya]

Are you guys really going to get that pissy about a shower scene showing up?

Nintendo expanding to mobile and KojiPro being disbanded. Quite a week.

 

[AngryCanadian]

It doesn't seem like it.

I hear Verdict Day and Armoured Core V are the bad ones.

Should make it easy to remember

 

[ultimax]

Shower scene in what?

 

[TechnicaUS]

Not really. I don't really care for the game in general, so whatever happens happens.

Hopefully I can get enough money to pick up the season pass. I really wish you could buy the episodes individually tho.

Alright, I'll try and get For answer then.

 

[Jman014]

Yeah that would be cool. I bought the season pass so now I'm just waiting to play episode 2 after I do my World of Warcraft stuff on Tuesday.

Reading a couple of AC threads:

They're not BAD games, but they're less ZOE x Armored Core and more like Tactical Strategic Robot Fighting.

But both have servers up I think.

 

[Anung]

I liked ACV

 

[DoktorEvil]

Pat, are you a fan of Asuka as your waifu?

(Caught that in the AC 4 video)

 

[Alfebit]

Now I want a Kantai Collection Tactical third person action shooter game. Wonder where it's gonna go in the next episode.

Spoiler

Also I think alfebit's avatar is in this ep

Time to catch up.

Happy thread anniversary dumbos. I wasted too much time on this.

This was shit.

We're going to get a reboot, though. Believe it

[GlassEmpires]

MgS: Metal Gear Solid

It's probably going to be a Solid reboot and the developers are going to forget that Solid is a sequel to the original two

Hell, the case can be made that Solid 1 is a reboot/reimagining of the second game

 

[Xiraiya]

MgS: Metal Gear Solid

It'll just be offbrand MGS.

Audio shower scenes are the best shower scenes.

So I just found out that madhouse is doing the one punch man anime. That just means there not working on ippo ;_;

I'm still hyped for one punch man

I'm having a good laugh at some of them. That "It worked for DMC and Castlevania" thread is pretty entertaining.

But DmC and LoS are the greatest games of their respective franchises and the Kojima-less Metal Gear would be too.

It's basically a joke thread.
