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

I hope if he does leave that he calls it Moby Dick studios like in the previous trailers he made, at least he'll be free to do what he wants and I hope he stays that way and doesn't work exclusively for just one company, now that MG is pretty much multiplatform and it selling well that way I'd imagine Kojima doing the same for future titles he'll make.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I imagine he would only leave if he gets to take MGS with him.

He might be tired of the franchise.

His good friend Sakurai was tired of Kirby and is becoming tired of SSB.

Why is everyone saying SCEJ? Their latest games have been average (or below average).

He should create his own studio or go to Nintendo EAD because there he could create content that doesn't exist on a Nintendo platform. As long as he would get free reign at Nintendo. But knowing Nintendo... :p


What makes you think he would just join the current team? They would most likely give a him new team to start a new game, I would prefer a new Siren made by Kojima ;).

Also it's really funny that you say SCEJ is making average games.

Lets take a look at Nintendo games that are actually made by Nintendo.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars (69)

Mario Party 10 (67)

Codename STEAM (71)

Tomodachi Life (71)

Captain Toad (81)

Mario Kart 8 (88)

Donkey Kong Country (83)

Right, 3 of their last 7 recent games have been actually good.

You think it was Kojima's decision to make MGS multiplatform? He's just a developer, not the publisher.

No but I mentioned it being multiplatform was good, for both gamers and sales, if he does the same as the publisher then it;s better for everyone.

Na, I actually prefer the game be exclusive because a game on 1 platform vs 5 platforms, it's going to be way better. So it's actually better for gamers because they're getting a better game and if Sony does fund Kojimas game it would have no trouble with money.

I don't, guess we'll have to agree to disagree, besides I find PC exclusives like Star Citizen to look way better than what Sony could do tbh, I find PC hardware and visuals to be much better for gamers who want high end visuals and more open end gameplay, that and I find not being owned by another business more better for them and gamers.

Bolded: not made by Nintendo EAD.

At least keep things on-topic.

And lol at including games like Mario vs. DK.

You have a very selective memory as well it seems.

The latest games of Nintendo EAD were: Pikmin 3 (87%), AC: NL (88%), Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (81%), Super Mario 3D World (93%), WW HD (90%), MM 3D (89%), Mario Kart 8 (88%), Steeldivers: Subwars (58%).

I was talking about Nintendo in general. Also I forgot this was a thread about Nintendo EAD.... oh wait, its not.

Why is it funny that I'm talking about Mario vs. DK? All I did was list their recent games since 2014.



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

it would be awesome if he joined SCEJ, sadly we may never get a new ZOE since he was one of the few that was actually interested in making a new one at Konami
