Forums - Gaming - Kojima Expected To Leave Konami After MGS5, Inside Source Confirms

As much as I would love to see the meltdowns on the net if Kojima went to Nintendo, I hope he goes independent. That way he can partner with who he wants when he wants.

Also, R.I.P. Konami. You just pissed off the guy who has been keeping you afloat. And if he takes MGS with him, we'll be burying your metaphorical corpse sooner rather than later. Just do us all a favor and sell of Silent Hill before the ship sinks.

Do you have proof of that?

Are you serious? You think developing on 5 platforms for 3 years and developing the same game on 1 platform for 3 years is going to be better?

so you'd rather other people not be able to enjoy the game for a slightly better version on your console.



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

Having kojima could bolster Sony's first party Japanese development quite nicely. I could see his personality fitting like a glove at SCEJ as well. Really hope Sony tries courting him, assuming all this info is true.

Some very petty arguments I'm this thread. Tsk tsk

How so? They can buy a PS4. Stop acting like it's impossible for them to play the game. I would rather take a better game.



"There is only one race, the pathetic begging race"

The end of an era.

The future is dull and dead for Konami, wheras Kojima will be welcomes with open arms by any developer or publisher on the market.

Im not 100% sure what to think. On one hand its upsetting that we may never get the complete MGS5, Silent Hills or whatever else MGS in the future... On the other, here is to what he can create with no limits or holdbacks.

do you know how miniscule the game differences would be if it was just on x1,ps4,and pc (which they will be pretty soon) in comparison to ps4 only? graphics only and pretty minsicule. If you want better versions of games why arent you hoping he makes pc exclusive games? Oh wait, because you dont want to buy a pc just like there are people who wont want a ps4.

No they wouldn't be miniscule. Exclusives look so much better than multiplatform games so I don't know what you're talking about.

PC exclusive? Lol, why would anyone want that? For one consoles are the money makers for AAA titles like MGS, not PC. PC gamers don't buy games day 1, they always wait for sales. So unless we want Kojima to go bankrupt, no thanks. You might as well say why doesn't Rockstar make GTA 6 exclusive to PC? They could probably make the most beautiful game on PC. But lets see, GTA 5 had a budget of $250+ million. Do you think they would have made that money back on PC in one day? Hahaha never. Do you think GTA V can sell 35 million on PC? Hahaha never. The point is there are tons of devs that can develop games on PC for better graphics but none would do that.

Two, the reason I said Sony was because I trust them. If Kojima did go too Sony they would give him freedom. That is what Sony does. They take chances, they give their developers freedom. They didn't try to hold back Heavy Rain creatively like Microsoft did. They've also been making new IPs. Take a look with Evo, they did Driveclub, they could have kept doing Motorstorm. Yet we have Microsoft's First Party Studios doing the same thing, Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza. Even if they did go to a 3rd party developer like EA, or Activision that would also end up badly like Bungie with Destiny or Insomniac with Fuse.

Sony would treat Kojima like Naughty Dog.

EDIT: Also I just built a gaming PC last Black Friday, so don't go assuming I don't have one.

You are talking about money makers, but don't want them to maximize their profits by going multiplatform?

Developing on multiple platforms seems to work and show the strengths of each one, especially with what each one can actually handle.

Seeing nice talent like Kojima going exclusive to a console will just be a waste of talent and deny PC and other platforms any of his future games which imo is a bad thing, I prefer talent being used as much as it can and delivered to as many as possible rather than just a select group or base.

I also prefer being able to play on my platform of choice rather than having myself denied games coming to my platform of choice by restrictively working with another platform, I;d rather not have to dish out £4-500 for a box to play one or two titles that were denied for little to no reason.

Looks amazing on PC. I hace since few years the commitent to build a PC. Hopefully I can do now.
