Forums - Gaming - Kojima, What Really happened: SOLVED!

Nuvendil on 22 March 2015

Creative control is a major problem throughout most of the industry; Nintendo and BethSoft are two of the only ones I have seen where this doesn't seem to be an issue. Can't comment on Sony or MS as we don't see *as many* exclusives in number or diversity. This not only drives off devs but also hurts team efficiency and moral. Hiring a team of specialists doing a job and then being controlling when you yourself don't know what you're doing is very demeaning. You hired these devs cause they know what they're doing; stop treating them like children. I mean obviously you hire devs who aline with your corporate vision, but after that don't be a dick.

So Konami didn't want Kojima to implement certain contain/subjects into MGS5? The dude had a bomb implanted into a females private region and they let that through. I love MGS but Hideo is a weird guy to say the least. I can't say everything he has done with MGS has been sensible. From switching protagonist's in MGS2, the completely stupid and out-of-place love subplot of Meryl/Akiba, to the action focused gameplay of MGS4(stacks of customizible full automatic weapons) to plots that make absolutely zero sense(MGS4). I still love the franchise though and it won't be the same without Hideo. I am pretty certain the Konami-lead MGS games after this will not be of the same caliber and will probably get pumped out every 2-3 years.

Yeah they let him do what he wanted in gz, but supposedly they cut some of his content in peacewalker, and with 4 new board members now coming in on april 1 and focusing on "brand" I can totally see them cutting stuff.

I would like the games to be funded in the first place when it comes to japanese games espacially. If MS for example spends tons of money its good for us and japan. What does it give me if the game doesnt exist at all just because its not on my favorite platform? Even if i dislike the xbox brand the most from all consoles i wouldnt mind kojimas games being exclsuive there if thats what it takes his games to be done.

 

Here is one example where i am just advocating that....

I'd like games to be funded too but as you can see consoles are not funding every single game on this planet, to say they do is a blatant lie, there are other venues where games thrive just as much but you seem admant on ignoring that fact, I don't think you'll really see it as a win for MS because you know if they paid they'd lose exclusivity because you know how they function so of course it would be good for you if Sony didn't have to take the hit.

"What does it give me if the game doesnt exist at all just because its not on my favorite platform?" that is going to need some translation because I don't get at all what you mean by "what does it give me".

If you don't mind Kojimas games being exclusive to MS then why do you care if they were multiplat?, for some reason you;re totally okay with his games in the future being limited in scope and platform even if you refuse to buy the other platform which you'd miss out on but if his games were multiplatform then you or anyone else wouldn't miss out, for some reason to you multiplats are somehow dying so damn fast and aren't a thing that should exist unless one console pays for it to happen while ignoring all the other venues.

I don't care if you're advocating that game, it's clear you wouldn't buy the console anyway so you're just supporting exclusivity instead of trying to reach more people.

i am not against multiplatforms, i just think that exclsuivity has the most potential to bring the games the devoloper want to make over what the shareholds want to sell. I certainly dont see EA, Ubisoft or Activision funding a game like Bloodborne or Bayonetta 2. Or funding the development of a game for 8 years like the Last Guardian.

What happens to Silent Hills is all I realy care about right now.


KP wont be developing it. Kojima wont be directing it. Konami will either make a new team or outsource the development. Del Toro's involvement will depend on signed contracts.

Its dead.
