>Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has proven to be a hit, selling five million copies worldwide. According to today’s Nikkei, the Tokyo-based fitness company has began internal talks about the next Metal Gear title.
>The print edition of Nikkei reports that Konami is mulling over plans for another title in the popular stealth series. The newspaper adds that Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, who is apparently on vacation, has not said whether or not he’ll be involved in the next title.
>Seeing how Konami took Kojima’s name off The Phantom Pain’s box art, dissolved his studio, and canned Silent Hills, it’s hard to see him staying on.
> “When we start development, a large-scale investment will become necessary,” Konami is quoted as saying by the recent Nikkei article.

Not without Kojima working on it, and even then it's iffy. MGSV had so much micro-transaction shit so i can only imagine that Konami would find a way to jew it up even more if the series continued.

What I want from Kojima now is a Zone of the Enders 3, that'd be rad.

No. MGS is dead to me. It had been since 4 and TPP was a disaster

Where does Revengeance lie anyway? I've heard both canon and noncanon and a couple people say it's a 'what if' alternate timeline. Like if a mission went wrong somewhere, Revengeance would be the result. If the mission went off without a hitch it wouldn't have happened.

They already developed the Fox engine, it shouldn't be too costly to shit out another game using the same engine.

Konami is going to send his old apprentice to assassinate him in a recreation of MGS1's development.

MGSVI will only work if they get rid of Kojima. He's the fucking Japanese Tim Schaffer. He can't handle budgets or the business side of games. Konami should just sell or license it out to Activision if they want it to be successful

You play as Liquidis Snake, a failed abortion from the les enfants terribles project, who sports two eyepatches and a hefty dose of autism.

I'm hype solely because of Fox engine, it depends a lot if Kojima will be directing though, otherwise it will be another Dark Souls 2.
>>
>>315267513
Maybe about liquid
>>
I'm making assumptions here;
-Kojima is under a hush order or something via contract reasons or something
-Konami did this because they don't want other companies trying to snatch up a big name such as that right up. I don't know why, though, as they're not even sure what they want to do for consoles/pc.

>>315268675
What's there to actually say, though? He built Outer Heaven and went crazy, that's pretty much all there is, unless you're looking for a story that would be incredibly self-contained because nothing is going to inherently matter in that game other than Big Boss going crazy. The villain himself will just be another disposable figure who'll never be referenced in the canon, ever.

>>315267348
What they should do is allow MGSV to be finished. They have so much of it finished. I just don't understand them. Get a small team together to fucking finish it.
Konami want out of games so the can focus on gambling and Vegas deals that will make them billions, but now that MGSV was a success, they want back into video games? They could have done both. With over eighty billion dollardoos coming into the company they could easily make more games without ever worrying about cost. I just don't understand why they have to have such singular focus.
I really don't want a Metal Gear without all the people that make Metal Gear enjoyable. Let the property rest. It's had a hard life.

They should just make a DLC out of it. They could charge a cool 60 bucks and won't even need to spend a lot on development.
>>
>>315269257
Would they even be able to build a three act storyline around that, though? There isn't really all that much to go off from what you've said.
I can't see it really going anywhere other than stating that 'Big Boss found Zanzibarland and see it for yourself'.

There isn't really much to fundamentally say storywise, other than stating the obvious by showing things people are already aware of in the lore.
>>
>>315269503
>60 bucks for what amounts to two missions

>>315269297
I cant see why it has to be about how liquid is a good guy. Theres lots of things you could to to expand on liquid. For example it could be about his mission in Afghanistan.

Considering how cut and dry the original MSX games were, remakes of them might work. Or even have each operation be half of the game and have it be all huge complex infiltration goodness in the fox engine, none of the open world shit. Have bro ops with Gray Fox during the first half of the game which then culminates in the mine field fight in the second half for muh feels. Poke some fun at how silly Big Medic is and it'd have a good chance of being a good game, especially without Kojimas hamfisted messages.

Konami was never planning to leave making games, they just fired Kojima because he was an awful VP who was wasting huge amounts of money.

They canceled Silent Hills because it was going to be another huge money pit. There is no reason to waste money on risky projects when they can just make mobile shit that prints money.

MGS managed to sell well enough to make a profit so they are going ahead with that series. They might even keep Kojima along so his mindless fanboys can be happy.
>>
>>315267348
They can't possibly believe that these Kojima cocksuckers would ever buy a MGS game without him directing it.

It would be a disaster of a launch.

Jesus Christ. He was Vice President of Konami Digital Entertainment. He clearly can handle finance.

There is a difference between Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Rising. I wouldn't want Platinum in charge of MGS, I barely want them in charge of MGR2.

That being said I would buy MGS6 with or without Kojima. Portable Ops was better than Peace Walker and 3, sorry and Kojima being salty about it is evident of what a crackjob he is.

>>315270456
10/10 everywhere and even the jaded said the gameplay was pretty good, if repetitive. People will get it. IGN et al will hype that shit up.
>>
>>315270283

Every single review agreed that the worst part of MGSV was the story. Konami has been building a consensus in which everyone accepts that Kojima was a shit writer all along.

Because he was a shit writer all along. And most sensible people are now accepting that fact.
>>
>>315270078
they are

>>315270383
But that was a spinoff originally headed by Kojima until he passed it off to Platinum. Maybe the Rising series can continue, but MGS is done without Kojima. His fans won't betray him.

Oh god, I wouldn't want platinum doing a "solid" game, I just meant a precedent has been set where the fans find others doing metal gear acceptable.

Metal Gear 2 beats MGS1 on every aspect except the story.
>>
>>315267513
How about what the fuck MGSVI was advertised about, Big Boss road to hell as he became an ethically depraved soldier who started using child soldier because why the fuck not, instead of the Good Guy Venom who wouldn't let a kid die to save his life.

I can see it in front of me.

"In MGSV, we have Big Bossu and Venom, we have vee and i, where you are vee and i am i, and you will find the missing pieces between what snake and big boss that lead up to outer haven and zanzibar land. Did you rike it? =^)"

Fuck Kojima.
>>
FYI - Kojima is 52. The stupid cyborg game he shit out and this TPP turd all falls within his midlife crisis.
>>
>>315271309
Not even the same anon, but you're an idiot if you cant see how MGSV on 4 is under tracking against 4. Its right there. And its on 5 platforms you moron.
>>
>>315270740
That's the most retarded reasoning I've ever stumbled upon.
>>
>>315267348
If Kojima is involved I would. Otherwise fuck no

I would rather Silent Hills though
>>
>>315271345

Rising waa the best Metal Gear game, and Kojimbo wasn't involved with it beyond the initial concept.
>>
>>315271245
But part of MGS's shtick is the near cult of personality built around the series director. You need to cultivate that.
>>
>>315271389
I don't understand your argument. Who cares if it's selling less on the PS4 than MGS4 did on the PS3. Why does that matter?

>>
>>315271465
Yeah, I think Kojmia is really fucking drained from metal gear, give him some new shit. In PT you could tell he was motivated as hell considering all the fresh new ideas there were.

A full game would of been fucking amazing. Like even if he fucked it up, it still would of been good if PT's quality is anything to go by.

>>315271492

The fucking MGS games have beeb about how cukt of personality is a fucking awful thing ever since MGS3.
>>
>>315271471
Rising needs to be treated separately considering how different the gameplay is.

I think V is the best mechanically but in terms of sticking to the MGS 1 paradigm of stealth, 3 takes the cake.

Peace walker is thematically the grandest metal gear though.
>>
>>315268135
Didn't he do this job for 30 Metal Gear games and some mecha games? I highly doubt that's his problem.
>>
>>315270274
Except for the fact that they shut down all of the studios making video games, and fired anyone that didn't take a job making 'mobile games' read 'slot machines'. MGSV is far from a money pit. It cost the company $81 million dollars, and that includes the cost of an entirely new game engine. $81 million is fucking nothing.
They cancelled Silent Hills because they don't want to make games any more. Look at the people that bought a PS4 just to play P.T. For a while people were selling PS4s on ebay for over a grand, because their systems still had P.T. on it. To say that Silent Hills was going to be a money pit is crazy. It was no risk involved. Silent Hills would have out sold MGSV, because Silent Hills appeals to a larger crowd. Also, Konami doesn't understand the western game market at all.

Sorry that I couldn't remember the name. You are right that it is a non-compete, and my description of the non-compete was spot on except what it is called.
>>
>>315271807

Silent Hill games sell nowhere near the amount MGS game does. Kojima was going to kill the company out of naivete.
>>
>>315271921

If he spended more money then the game would have made no profit at all due ro the insane costs,

We dont even know if 5 million is enough to cover the costs of the game as it was released.
>>
>>315267348
FUCK NO.

It's insulting what even became of this series story and gameplay wise.
>>
>implying HIDEO and KOJIMA are the same person
Kojima will come soon enough with the REAL MGSV, Baby. Hideo was just a testing ruse.
>>
>>315267348
Fuck no. The whole idea of Kickstarter was to allow people to independently fund projects, not for megapublishers to maximize profits by exploiting an established fanbase to pay for a game's development. If they want to make another one, that's fine I guess, but they're the ones who have to pony up the dough. Their reward comes after through game sales.

My resolve might be tested if they started a Zone of the Enders 3 kickstarter.
>>
>>315269428
Every single game I backed on kickstarter was made and ended up as good as I expected.
>>
Kojima is nothing more than a concept man. He generates the concept and foundation to a game or story. That's it.

Other people should be the ones to create the characters, fill the story, and create the looks.
>>
>>315272563

>>315271575
Del Toro, Kojima, and Junji-fucking-Ito were making a game together and Konami goes full retard. They are still making a game together, but It will have another name. Del Toro pushed the sequel to "Pacific Rim" back for REASONS.
>>
>>315270198
>Some people here actually believe in this

! bet you are 12 and discovered 4chan last year
>>
>>315272565

Thy should ditch Kojima altogether just like Disney did with Lucas.
>>
>>315272682
I agree. Sometimes people run out of good fucking ideas and need to be replaced, or cycled out for awhile.

Lucas copied his ideas and technical shit from Jodorowsky when he wanted to make the Dune movie, and collected technical guys, actors, etc. then got denied by the studios. He had a giant book made that showed the action sequences, etc. that went to every studio, to which nearly all big directors used and copied for their own movies.
>>
>>315272637

Del Toro gave up on making games. And after the Hobbit and At the Mountains of Madness debacles I would have expected him to have killed himself already.
>>
>>315272240
Except for all of the lower people at Konami confirming that it fucking happened.
>>
>>315267348
I'm okay with more Revengeance. Anything that doesn't fuck up Big Boss or Solid Snake arc.
>>
He should have stuck to the true to life combat and 80's action style war/conflict movies/real life. It is somewhat niche, but the gameplay and shit is perfect for that Vietnam airborne drop behind enemy lines, sneaking through the jungle, sneaking/shooting through fucking tunnels underground with traps and shit?

God that would be amazing.
>>
>>315272860

You are again taking rumors from click bait blogs as actual sources.
>>
>>315272421
The guy managed to squeeze out MGSV and the fantastic Fox Engine for 80 million dollars. That is fiscally insane. Most game engines alone cost over that figure, and he found a way to make an engine and a game for nearly nothing. Kojima may not be your cup of tea, but give credit where credit is due.
>>
>>315267513

First part playing with Venom and beeing killed by Solid, and second part with Solid, defeating Big Boss.

It would be a nice remake of those shitty MSX titles that hipsters pretend they played.
>>
>>315272332
You sincerely have no idea what you are talking about. Konami are on the cusp (unless the bill has already past) of having a complete monopoly on gambling in Japan with a partnership with Vegas that is going to make billions upon billions of dollars. Konami aren't in, nor were they ever, in financial dire straights.
>>
>>315267348
not after what happened to MGO3
>>
>>315272853
Del Toro has been talking about games very much in the last couple months, and hanging out with Kojima and Shinkawa. He IS making a game.
>>
>>315273182

MGSV doesnt feel like a game that costed 80 million dollars. He clearly mismanaged the whole project and used a lot of money on stuff he didnt even used in the game. There was a musician that wrote 40 songs for MGSV and not one of the songs were used.

>>
>>315267348
What happened to all the hurr so what if AAA makes money, mobile makes more money because smaller budgets so fuck Kojima and fuck Silent Hills?

It's Kotaku so this whole speculation is probably pure bullshit, but I expect Konami to pull a Silent Hill and contract some cheap, unknown Western developers to make MGS sequels. It didn't work with Silent Hill, it obviously wouldn't work with MGS, but it's Konami so this is exactly what is going to happen if they indeed plan to keep producing AAA MGS games.

>>315273603
That's exactly what he's saying dude. The game didn't cost 80 million to produce. Simply making the engine it runs on took a massive bite out of that. The fact he still made a game and a new engine with 80 million is damn impressive.
>>
>>315273603
The eighty million figure includes the price tag of the Fox Engine. I would venture a guess that the Fox Engine cost more than The Phantom Pain, but that is only speculation.
>>
>>315267575
Did you completely miss the point of MGS4? The whole game was about how redundant and useless normal soldiers like Solid are compared to enhanced ones through nanomachines or cyborg enhancents like Raiden's.

MGS5 felt like it was 40% complete to begin with so really don't trust Konami or Kojima with anything at this point.
>>
>>315274565

That was probably a Kojimbo decision though.
>>
>>315274402
Well there's more too it then that. Until someone cranks out the perfect engine that can do anything and everything easily which isn't going to happen then companies out there will have to create new engines now and then. Otherwise everything will just stagnate once every nook and cranny of the engine has been explored.

I'm actually quite hype about what can come out of the Fox engine. Let's hope Konami doesn't hold it hostage for too long.
>>
>>315274746

You can do anything with any engine out there technically, it boils down to how well it processes information for desired results and how easy it is to actually implement those processes when building the game.

Look at the Cry engine and Star Citizen. The Cry engine just kind of sucks when it comes to tons of shit moving around and changing directions constantly and shooting at each other. It's really resource intensive to calculate all that shit and actually getting it working is a nightmare in getting your coding working properly. Cry just ain't good for space ship games. Cry engine has its benefits and looks fantastic when utilized properly but it's really more suited for first person shooters then it is space ships.

Engines are complex. Depending on the engine, is super easy to do some things and implement mechanics, a hell of a lot harder to do others. The only reason they are a thing is because it's easier to license use of one then it is to build every game ever from the ground up.

I'm still not too sure why Cry was the engine of choice for Star Citizen.

The solid snake in MGS4 was actually a SEAL team member that inflated Big Shell but was nearly killed. He was subsequently revived by Plisskin's moustache. But the moustache took over his personality and he became solid snake. The real solid snake died at big shell but his sheer strength of will caused his spirit to transfer by saltwater osmosis into a nearby grouper.
>>
>>315277748
This. Although I've never been a real MGS fanboy, I can see quite clearly that Kojima himself is a big part of what draws people to the series. Trying to decipher the meaning behind his cryptic interviews, tweets, announcements, things he puts in his games, etc. is a huge part of MGS from what I have seen, particularly on this board. Speculation drums up hype.

It´s this exact meme that steered us into this shit situation. MGSV could have been made by any idiot, Rising definitely has a better story than V and Peace Walker.

The biggest problem will probably be Konami not wanting to give the kind of celebrity status to somebody again which can be benefiecal or make it worse because Konami workers can´t get anything done without Kojima sempais approval so the team on their own could result in a more focused team or they just stay retarded.

Why are you faggots clamoring for another Metal Gear Solid? The series is dead folks. Kojima is gone and after the disastrous launch of a game THAT WAS LITERALLY UNFINISHED what makes you think it'll be anything good especially with the fuckery that Konami pulled?

You are the exact reason why gaming companies treat you like shit. You can't let go so you just keep spending tons of money on a familiar IP out of nostalgia or a sense of obligation without realizing you're killing the thing you enjoy.

Actually, nah go ahead and make a kick starter, donate millions and I'll gleefully smirk as MGS VI fails to live up to your expectations and disappoints you yet again.

If you fuckers can't learn from your mistake with MGS V, you deserve to watch your series twist and writhe as it becomes nothing but a cash cow franchise. Enjoy your new AssCreed tier bullshit /v/, you fucking earned it
>>
>>315279636
Kojima's obviously had too much. Not only has he been engrossed in MGS for 20 years but at this point he's probably half scared shitless he's going to fuck up and lose respect and half so caught up in himself and his own ego that he'd miss obvious flaws and poor decisions, and nobody around would dare to tell him no(queue the George Lucas WebM with that guy giving that look when Lucas is drawing on the board). Someone new would not only be able to breathe new life into it but also respect the source material more because the source material isn't his but Kojima's, and simply the idea of making a failure of MGS would make him work even harder.

Maybe if Konami gets their head out of their asses with this mobile shit they might try another, but they'll likely be successful because for some reason Asians love shitty mobile games with microtransactions.
But hey, maybe they'll make so much money and become a mobile-games powerhouse that they decide to revive the series and just throw money at it just to see if it could still be profitable.

it already is a cash cow franchise.

right now on /mgg/ those faggots are only discussing the bikini DLC for MGO3.
That's right, the general for MGS is praising and circle jerking DLC.

It's dead and Kojima killed it.
Kojima is a tumour. Maybe without the tumour and a good amount of chemo (Tomokazu Fukushima) the series can live again even with DLC and Konami bullshit.

If Kojima isn't involved... fuck Konami.
>>
>>315280649
it's good. it was a critical and sales success.

the fact that it's not canon is irrelevant, the point is that there's no need for Kojima for a good MGS game.

This is what I hope will happen with Konami. I know it's pretty unlikely, but once they make ass loads off of mobile shit, maybe they'll come back to more traditional gaming media with all that cash.

But I think you're right about Kojima. Making games for the same series for two decades would exhaust anybody of ideas.

What I think would be cool would for Konami to contract out the Metal Gear name to a great dev team and have them make MG games about Solid's very early days, keeping Big Boss, Outer Heaven, Foxhound and the rest of that clusterfuck out of it. Like a semi-reboot so the designers and writers actually have some room to breath within the Metal Gear series. Then if that works out well they can hype up the Metal Gear 1 and 2 remake once the dev team has some experience with the series.

MG1 and 2 would be amazing remade in fox engine since both outer heaven and zanzibar land are supposedly as big as a nation, but mgs1 would make no sense. You'd still be in a single base with not many options for free-roaming.
Also Diamond Dogs later becomes Outer Heaven, big boss building outer heaven and then giving it away to venom snake is just full blown autistic fanfiction that started on the shitty metal gear wiki, which is 99% autistic fanfiction

I would love to see how Big Boss game to the conclusion to train child soldiers, this is only a sidenote when you are a limp dicked coward with no imagination. Killing child soldiers isn´t necessary but at least taking them in to train should be possible. Though that´s probably why Kojima was fucked in the ass and thus he had to rewrite that whole aspect into Venom just being a babysitter.

He already came to that conclusion before MGSV. He was ok with child soldiers in PW, VS (which supposedly has big boss's memories) is totally fine with child soldiers in V and even encourages Kaz to have them fight.
He became a soldier at least before 15 so it's just normal to him.

The engine was completed 6 years ago. Fox Engine was completed before the production of MGSV.
All Kojima productions had to do was to actually make the game.

It has paid for itself already. The game had a budget of 80 million. One million copies sold would be 90 million if you figure people spent sixty bucks on it. We know that it has sold over one million copies. It paid for the development of an entirely new engine and a game and a half (depending on how far along Silent Hills was. It was in development for sometime). It is still selling right now enough for Konami to think twice apparently.

Kojima Productions made the Fox Engine. Are you delusional? Eighty million dollars is nothing in 'AAA' terms. Companies are spending double that on fucking marketing.

You do know that when you buy a 60 dollars game the developer doesn't get back 60 dollars right? Jesus fucking christ how retarded can you be?

Also, I never said the game didn't paid for it self (like it should and it shouldn't be something to be surprised about). I said that "That paid for itself overnight" is a blatant lie and provided source with actual numbers that proved that 2 weeks after release MGSV still didn't broke even.

Yes. And? It still didn't broke even 2 week after release.
All Konami learned from that is that they can make more MGS games but this time with much less spending.

If you buy 50000$ in lemons, and in day one make 500$ in lemonade is it a success? It is. But you're not making money.

Remember when Kojima and Konami were showing off Fox Engine? That was 7 years ago . They built the engine, THEN made the game. The game itself took over 5 years.
>Eighty million dollars is nothing in 'AAA' terms
It is. Not many triple A games go there, and when you look at bigger and better games in terms of sales no one spent near 80 million.

>The cost of the Fox Engine is factored in to the cost of MGSV
except is not...because Fox Engine is also used for PES and the 80 mil budget contemplates only MGSV production. So....you say 80 mil is nothing for triple A games but now you're saying it's the cost of MGSV production plus Fox Engine development? So how is it?

>The big takeaway point that everyone seems to be latching onto is that The Phantom Pain pulled in $179 million in opening global revenue, which seems to amply cover the game’s development cost of $80 million.

>That amount of money roughly translates to around 3 million sales, which was also the figure that was already made public a while back.

>Revenue is the end sales and while it’s not clear that this figure includes digital versions of the game, it’s effectively the amount of money made at retail.

Publishers sells games for however much they want, and stores sell games based on suggested prices.

I know it's a meme to think publishers only make $10 per copy sold, but it's actually closer to the realm of $30-45. Place like GameStop literally only exist because of their used game policies.

But lets low ball this shit just to prove a point. Lets say every copy of MGSV put $25 in Konami's pocket. That is 41.666~% of the entire sale, which we will lower even further to 40% for convenience's sake.

40% of $179,000,000 is $71,60,000, which the game had a busget of $80,000,000. In less than a day, MGSV almost paid for itself, and Christmas hasn't even come yet. Konami are just fucking retards feinting threats to convince fence straddlers to pony up their cash.

Play as Solid (and possibly Liquid) Snake(s) during the First Gulf War in Kuwait, where he (they) have their first taste of combat / stealth experience. Big Boss + Diamond Dogs are your opponents near the end of the game. Depending how skilled your base + personnel the last time you played MGSV, the skill of the DD soldiers varies.

So extent $179m in one day to $180m in 6 days weeks. Either way, MGSV is a finacial success and has only gotten more popular and more sales since the Forbs article was written less than a week after MGSV was released. The point is, anyone trying to claim that MGSV is anything but a financial success for Konami are literally retarded.

it is.
that I agree with you. at least I bought the game twice for having it on Pc and Ps4 (for MGO3).

The whole point was the retard that still parroted the Age of Ultron comparison and thinks MGSV on release day alone gave 179 million liquid profit when marginally compared MGS4 did better in the same timeframe. But that's Kojima fangirls I guess.

It isn't being a fanboy to state facts and use a sliver of critical thinking to reseal that the entire discussion of money means fuck-all when MGSV is financially successful, no matter how long it takes to do it.It paid for itself and then some, ergo Konami are now >$80,000,000 richer because of it. The whole day 1 or week 1 argument is pointless as fuck, so why you are being so nit picky about is just as pointless.

This game has objectively better stealth gameplay and base/solider management mechanics, subjectively better level and boss design, and equally retarded stories

PO was also made in roughly a year while PW was supposed to be MGS5, so the fact that this game has some flaws is way more excuseable than the many many flaws PW has

>>315296217
You haven't played this game, stop bullshitting.

This game was made by the entire original metal gear team besides kojima, and while it's not nearly as good as metal gear 2 it's a way better game than the original metal gear, and it even has a bunch of mechanics like searchlights, interrogating guards, multiple areas instead of a singular base and the tradeoff between CQC/Knife that would go on to be in later solid games (and weren't in MG2)

This game is also the only reason metal gear wasn't a two game series that ended back in the late 80's because if this game wasn't made kojima would never have felt he needs to make more stealth games and would've just kept making adventure games like snatcher

You know, I'd really like to see the base and squad building taken further. More Compact, but more in-depth.

Like, after destroying Sahelantropus you got 6 S+++ soldiers that wouldn't look out of place in a Cobra Unit with Big Boss at the helm.

Now, MGS6 has you actually recruit and train an actual Cobra unit, with each character having stapple MG superpowers.

The Big Boss.
The Cyborg Ninja.
The Psychic.
The Woman with many arms/tentacles.
The Big Guy (For you).
That guy with the revolvers.
The Batman, who jumps all over the place with grapple guns and pseudo-flight.

Co-Op maybe?
>>
Konami seems like a company that just blindly follows trends at this point. AAA military games are doing well, so they push for MGSV with a fancy new engine. Then they see the low cost high profit model of mobile and pachinko and suddenly they're all about that, and canceling all the actual video games they had plans for. Now MGSV sells well, and suddenly there's rumors of MGS6. With the SNK owners pulling out of Pachinko stuff, I won't be surprised if similar shit happens with Konami.

Even if we do get Kojima back, along with MGS6 and Silent Hills, it's kind of hollow now as they've lost the trust of a lot of people. Not to mention there is so much rightful criticism for MGSV and that's gotta hurt in general.

Seriously though, considering how much money MGS must bring on merchandise alone, I can't see why they think fucking with its creator and development cycle was a good idea.

Only way I'll bother with a new MGS is if we have another writer to reign in Kojima's nonsense, and if it's an remake of the first two games or something that is actually about BB's decent into villainy. I'm actually still kinda insulted that we were given such retarded fucking reasoning for Kaz leaving Big Boss. MGS6 would need to fix that above all else.

All of these sources are missing one very critical piece of data. How much money did Konami spend advertising the game. They are, like us, just speculating on that aspect. The Phantom Pain had a modest ad campaign in Japan, and a near non existent campaign in America. Do any of you think that Konami shelled out over 60 million on advertising MGSV?
>>
Fuck all of you. This is great news.

>>315297248
Konami have a deal with Vegas. They are pretty much going to have a monopoly on the gambling scene in Japan. They stand to make 80 billion dollars out of the deal. If the legislation goes through. It may already have. The CEO of Konami has been pushing for this for almost a decade.

that's really true of any videogame base at this point. They are some of the most passive consumers in existence.

Kojima's not that unique in his writing style though. As much as I love the absurdly tacticool feeling of his game but it's hardly rare as far as japanese media is concerned. I do not believe it would be that hard to emulate or find someone who can do it well. It's the other elements of the game I'd be more concerned about. It's always been about little and unnecessary flourishes with him and I don't think anyone else would really put those in.

Plenty of MG games have been made without Kojima though and they're all fairly good and do a good job of capturing the tone of the series.

I'm still convinced there is more to MGSV than what we see, and I'm not even talking about some missing DLC bullshit either. It took people years to really figure out the big picture of MGS2, and people reacted the same way to it as everyone is to MGSV.
>>
>>315305313
And yet with all the stuff MGS2 tried to tell. Some of it was already done with other games, more on accident. Look how many people give other devs crap with trailers? Kojima was one of the few people trusted.

MGSV was just uninteresting in general while Kojima keeps on baiting PLENTY of concept better than the actual product.

It's more likely that they'd just keep MGSV's gameplay since it works well with Fox Engine. There's no way they could go back to the MGS1-3 style in a plausible way.
