Kojima was a shit VP and hasn't made a decent game since Snake Eater. They were right to can his ass, and Death Stranding proved that beyond a reasonable doubt.
We've already known that Konami was the good guy since MGSV's launch.
Based.
rent free
I'm not surprised.
in my view, it was because of Kojima and Konami. both were at wrong.
Now, good things can happen from both, more games for us. i see that as a win. MG needed to one day out grew Kojima. if we can have more games like Ghost Babel or Rising, why being mad? and Kojimbo can keep doing weird shit like he want to.
>>Kojima basically lied about not being involved with Survive
what
>>Kojima caused a lot of friction in Konami by developing and releasing PT without informing anyone else in the company
WHAT
this isn't surprising at all. konami wouldn't fire their biggest cash cow unless some very serious mismanagement happened. only retarded drones believed the garbage Kojima & Geoff Keighley tried to pull.
that said, i enjoyed death stranding.
The Konami opressing their employees thing was something people chose to believe, there's no proof
Kojima was really squandering their money
that said, Death Stranding is incredible, thank god all of that happened
Not surprising that Kojima somewhat had relations with Sruvive's development.
It was in development since 2012.
Konami blurred out the year of this concept art, but they forgot to purge that VERY flat bottom line that comes after what is clearly a 1.
>tfw the lord of dust in Metal Gear Survive actually is called "Kaiju" in the files
i'm not joking. see pic related. from Survive files.
The lord of dust and the basic wanderer also were the only monsters designed by Masahiro Ito, and the wanderer date on the art is strangely obsured as said.
This base Survive probably did not have the other monsters not made by Ito. this also would explain why Survive was delayed: they had to create the story mode, new monsters, character and all. but keep the small budget of the DLC.
PT was made in secret with part of MGSV's budget, and nobody at Konami except some devs knew about it. Konami didn't know anything about Silent Hills, that was all Kojima doing whatever he wanted with little oversight.
Survive was meant to be a DLC for MGSV alongside other kaiju shit. Kojima used a portion of the MGSV budget to develop PT, and Konami wasn't even aware of PT's existence or Silent Hills. On top of that, the story of the "final chapter 51" with Sahelanthropus and Eli was also meant to be DLC. What a fucking faggot.
Based Kojima
Fuck kojimbabwe. Worst shitstain ever worshipped in videogames.
Good. I'm glad this hack's lies are being exposed and the pretentious hack is becoming a joke.
What a scummy piece of shit. Thank goodness ass stranding tanked, I hope this lying parasite fucks off the game industry soon.
Kaiju is still in the game, he was just made bigger. Masahiro Ito even said he was surprised by that. twitter.com
Survive however made other monsters to compensate that, not made in the initial build. (who likely only had a smaller lord of dust and the initial wanderers with no variants, just like 2016 Survive.)
wow thanks for this single random french gaming news source bro! im sure they totally have the scoop on kojima where no english or japanese site does and their information is totally reliable and not pushing a narrative, nor are you.
Wow, Kojima sounds like a fucking dick
so the fucker did use MGSV budget to develop another fucking game leaving MGSV unfinished
fuck this man
No shit
He literally abosrbed all the money from konami for years. Put it into his own projects, many he canceled ona w him while also canceling other projects like new castlevanias to get more money for himself.
sounds based as fuck
Survive was obviously a prototype of some of the ideas for an open-world survival horror game Kojima had kicking around (possibly what Silent Hills would have been, which would later turn into Death Stranding), made by what remained of Old KojiPro. the "plot" of the game is specifically "non-canon" and specifically about what it's like to complete your mission without having your Boss around to guide you. it's kind of kino, given that you're not a total faggot and you thought MGSV was at least a decent game. if you didn't, you should go back and try MGSV (this time don't be a Sneaking Suit/tranq/fulton faggot) and Survive again after having played Death Stranding to see where Kojima is coming from these days in terms of game design. he's all about giving you a sandbox and a bunch of toys to play with in it, narrative, aside from themes, are basically secondary to having fun.
it's like you faggots played MGS4 and somehow failed to realize it was 20 hours of Kojima taking a shit on people who care about MGS lore more than the gameplay itself. the diaper-wearing soda-drinking monkey who drives around in an APV with Dennis Rodman should've clued you in
Konami were pissed when Kojima announced PT without clearance, using his contacts at Sony. They had asked him to make Silent Hill, but he was way out of line, and they got further upset when PT hype caused Norman's people to demand more money.
Konami have done some dumb shit. But they weren't the boogieman Kojima's fanboys painted them as. Survive was a totally fine spinoff that caused fanboys to throw a tantrum.
Someone post that konami yearly profit chart where you can literally see when konami kicked him finally out.
Yeah, the more I read about him the more he seems a real jerk
So why don't Castlevania fans hate him? All they've gotten in recent years has been that cartoon.
Well at the time Kojima was fucking VICE PRESIDENT OF KONAMI. He could do whatever the fuck he wanted really.
>lead dev thinks he runs the ship at Konami
>Uses budget to get Joosten's poosten by putting her in the game.
>Fuck her voice is awful
>Her character can't speak or she dies
>Uses budget to make Silent Hills demo at expense of finishing MGSV which is already delayed multiple times and over budget
>Kojima: "What are you going to do, fire me?"
>Konami: Fires Kojima, spits on his legacy for going above his rank and file and forces him to sign NDA or they will sue him into oblivion
>The universe: As it should be.

So what became Survive was by Kojima. interesting. it had a lot less content, but Snake and Ocelot. probably not story though.
I liked the final game and the new lore added in, but this was by the team post Kojima.
Well, Lord of dust actually is called Kaiju in the files, the wanderer concept art has it's date hidden, Kojima said he wanted a game about nanomachine zombies before, and 2016 Survive look a lot at what was this dlc, no story, coop only, only Ito's creatures, more reused assets from V

who said we dont?
he is literaly the reason igarashi didnt got budget to make castlevania 99 like he wanted because konami was too busy making god of vania 1 and 2
Konami are a Japanese company. They won't fire you. And I'd wager they've reassigned those devs to the in-house teams working on their IPs. Also cameras in the hallways and such was totally normal.
yeah he was such a fucking dick for not wanting to recapture MGS1/3 every few years by expanding on the lore of a universe he wholly lost interest in, after having done so for plural decades.
French are massive weebs so they probably do
>while also canceling other projects
Don't fucking tell me it's he who canceled Silent Hill 2013
>Snake vs "Godzilla"
Indeed, what was presented to us as Hideo Kojima's "big idea" for this DLC, would have been the presence of "kaijû," giant monsters from the Japanese popular culture, which would have had to be confronted with Snake and company. These creatures would not have been licensed characters like Godzilla but simply imposing monsters. MGSV.5 would have taken place on the original game map and would have, in addition to Snake and Mother Base's soldiers, allowed you to play as Ocelot and use Mantis as a mission companion. As Metal Gear Survive players could see, some of these plans fell through when Hideo Kojima left Konami and ambitions for what became a standalone game were scaled back
Imagine
>Kojima developed PT himself without anyone of the staff knowing about it and then he sneakily released it while tippin on his toes and smackin dem konami hoes
hot take bro
JOOOUUUURRRNOOOOSSSSSS
Apparently he couldn't?
>by developing and releasing PT without informing anyone else in the company
Fake and gay
But people do hate him, the entirety of Lords of Shadow is because of him, the devs were trying to make a game that had nothing to do with castlevania until he came and said it would be castlevania and that quite literally killed the franchise
While the Kaiju was made as a not really fightable boss, Survive did introduced some creatures to fight. these were not done by Kojima though. they were not designed by Ito.
No Snake though, probably to save budget with the story. making a game with a DLC budget with a full single player is hard. this DLC was coop only.
Why is that every single time a "victim" story comes to fruition, it's always revealed that they were the asshole all along?
Most people like to forget he was in charge of Konami gaming division for over a decade. He single highhandedly slaughtered Silent Hill and Castlevania and sent the IPs to western devs.
Does this mean #FucKonami is a lie?
Good
He could, but the board of directors pushed him out because he was focusing on AAA games instead of mobile and pachislot that they wanted to do.
He was demoted as VP in early 2015. he was VP from 2010 to 2015. and the old CEO wanted to go full mobile.
not really related but Konami also changed their CEO recently. good things could happen.
No one was forcing him to do more MGS games, he could have passed it to other people, like he did with Revengeance, he kept working on it because it stroked his ego and he could pretend to be a film maker while making it.
>n-no guys mgs4 was supposed to be shit as satire!
>>Kojima basically lied about not being involved with Survive
So what? He might just had a little involvement. Or maybe he didn’t want his name attached to the product because it didn’t live up the the Hideo Kojima standard, as we clearly see.
>>Reports about the working conditions for Konami employees were at least partially false
I dunno, I believe Kojima.
>>Kojima caused a lot of friction in Konami by developing and releasing PT without informing anyone else in the company
He has proven time and time again he is one of the best, if not THE best video game writer and director in the goddamn industry. I think we can give him a little bit of leeway. He knows what he is doing.
the French have uncovered actual truths on DiC Sonic and the female characters more than Americans have done to do so in years
LOL he literally was the one that sent Iga to make a pachislot Castlevania game, bet the MGS one also was his idea.
We just can't stop winning, KONAMIBros.
Also Survive was DLC for MGSV
the pachinko are not related to KDE, the vidya branch.
>He has proven time and time again he is one of the best, if not THE best video game writer and director in the goddamn industry. I think we can give him a little bit of leeway. He knows what he is doing.
that is not how companies work
idk about this. if that's true, wouldn't konami have released a statement?
