Let's put it this way: I wouldn't want to work there. On the other hand, Konami will have to create the best game in years to catch my interest. In the past, the name Metal Gear was enough to catch my interest, but from now on, it'll be a source of spite for me.
Can't wait to hit the lever with this game..
Dance my pretties!

R.I.P. Metal Gear Solid series
There will technically be more entries into the MGS series, but as far as I'm concerned, MGSV is the last one.
I look forward to this. I love me all the previous Metal Gear games, but it might be good to see a new team work on the franchise. New controls are my biggest hope.
The only new Metal Gear I really want at this point is MGR 2 but otherwise I do not want Konami to touch the Solid series at all, it just needs to finally rest now.

except no good software developers are going to apply to join the Konami Metal Gear team after hearing all of these nightmareish things about being employed there
new blood can be refreshing but not when it's all from the bottom of the totem pole
I doubt many experienced designers are going to be headed to Konami now, they've screwed themselves

There are lots of unknown people with lots of talent waiting for an opportunity. Doesn't mean Konami will find the right people though. What I find interesting though, is that Konami being in Japan and all, how will they find people willing to dive into videogames that have both the creativity, knowledge of historic events, and will to swallow that Metal Gear story, to make a proper MGS sequel. I'm afraid they will scratch everything and just go for a new story with a few of know characters.
Even if the game looks good? I mean, it could, it looks difficult but it could turn out to be a good game.
Wouldn't surprise me.
Who knows. But I don't think this would be a beneficial tactic in that case. I feel Konami should lay low for a while.
I'm kind of afraid of that, being the case that the game ends up turning out to be good. |
you're right and wrong
there are plenty of young software developers with unutilized talent- yes- but its actually a pretty in-demand job at this point. if you know what you're doing and have some experience in game design a lot of studios would be interested in you
I guess what I'm saying is that the best designers, young or old, sort of will have their pick on where to work. and I seriously doubt the majority would pick Konami at this point. I mean, hell, respected companies like Bethesda keep posting hiring ads
there is too much demand for good people in this industry for Konami to have much luck finding whole new teams after getting rid of so many of their people. they've screwed their video game division
and its not just Kojima, over time Konami has gotten rid of like ALL of their most recognizable and valuable designers for the majority of their series

I wouldn't put it past them. They'll probably outsource to zynga.
Konami is recruiting devs using the "Fulton Recovery Device". Be careful!
