They are recruiting for development staff.

How enthusiastic are you in the idea of a Metal Gear game without Kojima behind it?

prediction: the game will suck because it will be rushed and because fuck konami.

Actually feels refreshing. New blood with a chance to shine. The old lose their luster eventually. Just like these forums.... New users replace the burnt out.

They can try whatever they want, but I higly doubt that really talented people will want to work with them, unless they offer alot of money, which they wont.And even if they are really good people with them, Konami will find a way to fuck it up, be it rushing the game or just adding microtransactions and all.

Funny thing is, when the game fails, Konami will most likely blame on the "shrinking" of the console market.

Well I sure as hell won't be buying it. LOL

They wan't to make a new Metal Gear, not only without Kojima, but basically without anyone who has ever worked on a Metal gear game before. Good luck with pachinko Konami.

They're going to turn it into an annually releasing franchise aren't they?

Will it be a Metal Gear title with a pachinko minigame in it, or will it be a Pachinko game mith a Metal Gear Solid minigame in it?

Yeah... it's not gonna end well.

Honestly I am the only one that think that Konami published purposely this ad because of Kojima announcement yesterday ?

There's so many weeks in one year and they have to talk about a new MGS one day after Kojima showed to the industry that he didn't need Konami. It is like a "we don't need him either"
