TheErebus. Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 http://nichegamer.com/2015/12/hideo-kojima-officially-left-konami-today-forms-a-new-studio-and-is-in-talks-with-sony/ According to Nikkei, it seems that Hideo Kojima (who I don't even need to say what he's created) has officially left Konami as of today and is now forming a new studio and is in talks with Sony Entertainment. I cannot say that this is all 100% confirmed, so be cautious as more news comes out. Recently, Hideo was also banned from entering the Video Game Awards show by Konami themselves and wasn't allowed to personally accept any reward, you can see the video here: http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/12/04/konami-bans-metal-gear-solid-5-creator-kojima-from-game-awards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratego89 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 All I can say is: It's about time and Konami just shot themselves in the foot imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcl_Blue Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 and is in talks with Sony Entertainment. Hmmm... I saw some rumors some time ago about Sony being interested in buying the Metal Gear franchise from Konami. That rumor and this statement put together sound very tasty.

I hope they buy Silent Hill and MGS away from Konami, or frankly any company is better than Konami (except maybe Koei Tecmo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknow99 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 What did that Kojami dude create, again? Is he some kind of J-RPG producer or something? Aaanyway, what Konami did to him (with the Awards & the lawyers thing) was an extremely jerkish move!... I hope that he'll stay in the business & even create his own development corporation. :) Personally, I see Miyamoto, Eiji Aonuma,David Wise then this guy.

Zero.No.Hikari Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 We'll see how it goes. I was hoping Platinum Games would get to work on another MGR:R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direcyphre Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 All I can say is: It's about time and Konami just shot themselves in the foot imo. Well it's not like Kojima is well versed in the manufacture of pachinko machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahuHordika Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Well if Sony's involved and wants to buy the rights to the MG franchise then RIP multiplatform for the series, but hey at least we have the chance of the franchise being a thing once again if it happens.

To be fair, the MGS series has been mainly exclusive to sony. MGSV has been the only main series game to be multiplatform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that I haven't played any MGS games aside from V it won't hurt me at all. With that said I do fear for what could be the posibility of an MGR 2.

Buuuuut there was a MGS on the Gamecube... :p (2 or 3? I can't remember.) Hey, hey, hey. I don't play games when I talk about games, OK?! So yes I was serious. Like, Sam serious...

I don't play games when I talk about games, OK?! So yes I was serious. Like, Sam serious... The GameCube MGS, The Twin Snakes, was basically a remake of MGS1 on the MGS2 engine. Also, if you haven't figured it out yet, Hideo Kojima created Metal Gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicSnake Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Kojima? Nah, he's just on vacation. Yeah, vacation. Pay no attention to the angry screaming coming from the official Konami basement. Kojima is totally just on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Grihaly Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 To be fair, the MGS series has been mainly exclusive to sony. MGSV has been the only main series game to be multiplatform. They ported OG Metal Gear to 360, and made the Subsistence (I think that's what it was called) collection for 360 too (MGS2, 3, and Peacewalker) AFAIK the only main games to still be PS exclusives are MGS1 and 4.

(PSN)zeratul____12 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 well Kojima pretty much made and owns the metal gear license. But knowing Konami they will hide it somewhere like most of their licenses or will exploit the living S#&$ out of it and then hand it over once its ruined.
