So have we come to the conclusion yet that Konami was the right one in this situation

ok nevermind you're just a retarded drone
guess what faggot, the MGS games up until 3 had fukushima as the co-writer and it's very clear he's the reason those games are good

kojima pretends he's the sole creator of those games and scrubbed off every mention of fukushima like he's god damn stalin but plasters his own name everywhere while huffing his own fermented farts
why does Zig Forums praise a pretentious humongous asshole like him

Konami chink shills, go. You lost.

Implying they can't spend some money from their other cashcows (like PES) and pachiniko if they truly cared about Kojima's passion and vision and not making a profit to keep their continued existence as a parasite leeching off of poor customers.
La creatividad will never die.
>why does user defend a pretentious greedy corporation.

>posts article where fukushima admits that they both edit each others work
>talks about how he was responsible for codec calls which a lot of the story is in
>in a culture like japan where you're supposed to be extremely humble and defer all praise and work to your seniors
>the games also drop significantly in quality post fukushima
You didn't debunk shit. You're just a retarded kojima drone fanboy who can't handle his favorite developer is either a hack or useless with out other people reigning him in. Go back to the ds threads where you fling poop bombs at bosses that can't hurt you, and the gameplay of the game is hiking. This is mgs, kojima isnt mgs anymore.

>kojima isnt mgs anymore.
as opposed to a zombie game.

Kojima was clearly just acting like a celebrity while adding in whatever bullshit he'd thought of that day into the game with no real thought of how it fits together (the empty motherbase, showers, cutting 90% of Snake's recorded dialogue because he watched Mad Max, etc)

>dumb vanity project
>literally revives the horror genre as a whole for games for a month straight with only a dumb small demo and is still being copied today
could you stop being a ultra faggot for a moment and use your brain to see what could have been something huge for the whole decade and possibly bring back a genre that has been long gone outside of indie shit

Considering konami only seems to give a shit about gatchas and constantly makes terrible vidya decisions, I'm tending to believe not them. Kojima has his flaws to be sure, but if he has someone to keep him in check he can be top tier.
If konami wants guaranteed money they should have someone remake/remaster MGS3.

Absolutely seething konami chink shill

>While there were some parts that were edited by the both of us, but if I’ll be bold to say it, all the real-time cutscenes were written primarily by Mr. Kojima, as well as all the mandatory CODEC calls. I was assigned to writing all the optional CODEC. We ended up creating around 2,500 files.”

Fukushima meme is dead.

I love that not only did you not address any of my comments, but you also left out the part where he admits they edited each others work. As well as the extreme degradation in quality from 3 onwards.
>seething
you wish kek. Kojima has been failing for decades now. Mgs 4 and all after it are proof of what kojima is capable of without fukushima.
>im fragile, but not that fragile.

I was pointing out how you answered your own question.

Your "points" are literal asspulls you dumb schizo. Enjoy your MG Zombie Mode and Pachinko, faggot.

Are you one of those people who think the mgs games are well written and that's why they're liked?

I remember reading about Twilight Princess development.
>Aonuma had to argue with Shiggy about giving it a realistic art style because the American market was turned off by the Wind Waker art style despite Miyamoto insisting on making more Celda-styled games(Wind Waker 2 ultimately going to DS)
>Aonuma left the team on their own to develop gameplay systems and the overall feel of the game like its twilight/normal world dichotomy and wolf link, while he went and supervised/produced Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass, and then had to jump back into the director's chair because everything was floundering

After the Wii, you start seeing a lot of the Nintendo veterans like Koizumi and Aonuma move up to permanent producer/manager roles and some of their understudies like Motokura for the 3D Mario series, and Fujibayashi for Zelda take on the director role for the big tentpole projects.

Konami's big issue was that like a lot of Japanese publishers they just fucking hemorrhaged their big names and didn't really have anybody to pick up the slack.
Capcom can't stick Itsuno on everything so you look in the credits for a lot of their newer titles like RE2/RE3 and MHW and they have a shitload of people in producer/assistant/director roles.
I don't really think there was anything they could've done besides just cut their losses. Was there anybody left at Konami that they could've given the project to to IKEA something into a better game? Probably not. Near the end Kojima was also the one that turned Castlevania into fucking God of War.

Last time I've checked, MGS4, PW, V and even Death Stranding were all pretty successful games. Meanwhile, Fukushima is stuck in Sony Japan Studios doing QA work for shit nobody has ever heard of like The Tomorrow Children, rain, Freedom Wars and the Everybody's Golf reboot.

>"[Tim Schafer] comes out and says I'm a prick," Kotick told the latest issue of Edge magazine.

>"I've never met him in my life – I've never had anything to do with him. I never had any involvement in the Vivendi project that they were doing, Brütal Legend, other than I was in one meeting where the guys looked at it and said, 'He's late, he's missed every milestone, he's overspent the budget and it doesn't seem like a good game. We're going to cancel it.'

>"And do you know what? That seemed like a sensible thing to do. And it turns out, he was late, he missed every milestone, the game was not a particularly good game..."

They were successful games, whether you like them or not.
>while at the same time calling him a shill
Where the fuck does the word "shill" appear in my post? Dumb frogposter.

Kojima may be an autistic little weirdo but the guy can make decent games, on the other hand Konami have cancelled the Silent Hill and MGS franchises and pumped all their money and assets into making pachinko machines. This really tells us all we need to know about their decisions.

Making money requires making good games. That's the problem with a lot of modern indie developers, they don't want to make money so they make mediocre games.
The market will fix it, it always does.

Go to bed.

>give your employee free reign over your finances
>too lazy to check to see what your employee is spending money on
>too embarrassed to admit you fucked up by letting your employee run amok so you fire him to hide your own incompetence
>fire him before the game he's working on is finished and before realizing that you don't have anyone else at your company able to make games in this series

Kojima is a retard but it was Konami's job to manage their own finances. Kojima's always made back the money he spent and far more, they should have either trusted him or reigned him in. Firing someone because you don't want to admit you never gave them a real budget to work with is pathetic.

Nah Kojima had nothing to do with the gameplay on Lords of Shadow. He just gave some advice on the story. Originally Gabriel was way more of an edgelord and Kojima's input made him a heroic figure in a dark world. Without him that game would have turned out like DmC.

"money was wasted because it was used on unfinished assets that weren't even in the final game because we ended development before they were finished" is some good troll logic.

>I love that not only did you not address any of my comments, but you also left out the part where he admits they edited each others work. As well as the extreme degradation in quality from 3 onwards.
And you left out the part where Kojima writes the game plans by himself first and that Fukushima only became involved to help him write dialogue (in fact, MGS1 was mostly done before he was part of the team). The guy was never anything more than a glorified script doctor at best.
