TheErebus. Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) So it is now confirmed that Kojima has split from Konami (thank god) and has formed his own independent studio. His first project will be made in collaboration with Sony. This is great news, and I cannot wait to see what he'll be making. Edited December 16, 2015 by TheErebus.

(PSN)Pharen Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 So does that mean that Kojima will be working in a first party studio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urlan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Can't say I am the biggest fan of Sony but I think this is great news for Kojima and his fans, hopefully his partnership with Sony is a fruitful one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Censium Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 cant wait to see what he comes up with in between the nice lady bringing him his pills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Pharen Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Not sure. What's confirmed is that his first game will be in collaboration with Sony. Would be good for it to be first party, that way he'd get A LOT more funding to make it something truly unique. Guerilla games started as a small studio before Sony took them on as a first party developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityPrime Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 But where's his side of the story of why Konami execs went batS#&$ crazy and torpedoed Silent Hills along with removing Kojima's name from everything and banning him from attending the Video Game Awards.

TrinityPrime Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 SILENT HILLS! Konami still owns the rights and all the assets to it don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably had something in his last contract that doesn't allow him to speak out, Konami was a dispicable company. Konami still owns the rights and all the assets to it don't they? No reason why they couldn't just remake the IP under a different name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)X1155752X Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 *insert poorly done "kept you waiting, huh?" gif here* Seriously though, i'm just hoping that Koji-San can legally wrestle the rights to Metal Gear out of Konami's hands before they make a Metal Gear Pachinko machine that's advertised to feature "erotic violence", or as regular people call it, "rape". At least this will give him an excuse to start working on a spiritual successor to Zone of the Enders, or make P.T. a thing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
