but he didn't have a problem with going on stage at the microsoft conference and telling us to expect great things. I don't get it.

his game essentially so if he did not do this someone might think him and konami are splitting thus taking MGS / ZOE with him and then konami goes byebye

Yes, because we all know how much Konami relies on Zone of the Enders as a franchise. On top of that, how could Konami surivive when Kojima takes those mega blockbusters Policenauts and Snatcher with him also?

you'd be surpised how much konami depends on kojima. id like to see them stay afloat if he decides to leave within the next few years (and yes i honestly believe he is going to)

You can't make such bold assumptions out of reading a dialogue. There's so much you miss.

Didn't he say after completing MGS4 that he was disappointed?

and then the internet blew it up as him saying he hated the PS3 when in fact it was just him being a perfectionist and that he could never be satisfied, no matter how good his games are?

Well, when viewing only this quote*, I would just take it that he believes the MGS story is finished and he wants to move on to something else. Whereas Konami see "$$$", so they wanted another MGS game and they wanted it multiplatform, especially since this spin-off would definitely not sell as much as MGS4 for PS3 did.

 

 

*I'm sure it would be helpful to see the entire interview translate, or more of it anyway, to give this a little more context.

I don't understand what they are even talking about in this interview. Seems like they took the interview completely out of context. Does anybody have a full translated interview?

I have no idea what is going on in that interview. Seems they were sitting in dentist chairs sucking nitrous oxide during the chat.


LOL!!!

Well my reply to you was in a more joking manner. In all seriousness, do you have any proof that Kojima himself owns the Metal Gear IP? Usually the IP is owned by the publisher, not the guy working for the publisher that happened to create it. Sakaguchi didn't get to take Final Fantasy with him when he left Square. A hundred other guys that started franchises did not get to keep them when they left their respective publishers either. In rare cases it does happen though. Do you have proof that Kojima is one of these rare cases?

If their "interpretation" of his opinion is based solely on that chunk of text, they are clearly overreaching. How convenient that the source is a PS3-focused website...



Hates Nomura.
