Yeah like Seece I think it's a trick. It must be. You don't cancel a Hideo Kojima project like that and then he expresses his sadness two weeks before E3.

Wow ... talk about jumping to conclusions, it's just as likely he's winding people up and will announce it at Sony's conference or something.

Yeah, I also smell a fake-out.

Hideo Kojima: It's all so meaningless !!!

(at E3)

Hideo Kojima: (announces new game) ...

If he had tweeted that any other time then I would be worried... but yeah, it's less than 2 weeks before E3.

There's always the chance that gamers have been spared what could have been a very mediocre title from Kojima.

Of course it's never fun as a creator when something you've been working on for at least a year never has the chance to be distributed and played.

That's true. We could have been spared of something mediocre of his like a Metal Gear Acid or Lunar Knights type of project.

Why do people talk of C:LOS as if it was a failure? It's the best-selling Castlevania game and it'll end up selling 1m at least. That's plenty of sales for a game that probably didn't have a huge budget. Konami have said they're happy with its sales and have even announced that there'll be a sequel.

Anyway, about this news, I wonder why they would cancel a game from Kojima when he has given so much to Konami, I can understand he is upset. I'd like to know what he was working on.
