>>384545318
Trust me, you guys do NOT have the full picture of went on with MGSV at all.

The real reason Konami is cracking down on the video game division is due to Kojima's influence ruining pretty much all of our brands. Everything was going way over budget, we couldn't do anything ourselves (Metal Gear Rising was ONLY as good as it was because of PlatinumGames, who rock by the way), and Kojima constantly kept telling everyone that MGSV had the potential to pull GTA numbers, if they JUST gave him the resources and time.

The thing was, he was using his resources and time to fly around the world, meeting famous directors and models and starting work on ANOTHER overtly ambitious project, Silent Hills. (I can talk about this in another post, if you guys are interested) long before MGSV was finished.

Long story short, Kojima leaving is a blessing in disguise. We have great talent working on new games that will be announced soon. Sadly, we likely won't make another game on the scale of MGSV for years and years, but we are optimistic the variety of games offered will please long time fans.

>>384545950
So long as you dont make another Big Boss game, that's fine by me.

>>384544902

I was always under the assumption that MGSV was draining the resources off all the other projects similar to how Capcom poured all their resources as well as external ones into RE6.

I just knew everyone would call me a defense force drone because I would dare speak against Kojima and not vilify Konami instantly. I still don't 100% believe that you're the real deal though.

>>384545950
FUCK KONAMI

>>384545950
I wish this was true, but it probably isn't

>>384546046
Everyone involved with the project wants to see the series in a new, fresh light. That means a new protagonist that has had a strong role in the series from the beginning, but has not had a lot of focus until now. Fans of the original MGS will be very pleased.

>>384546159
>>384546291
Alright, where should I begin? There's an awful lot to talk about.

Let's start with how Kojima handled developing the project. Kojima basically had free reign to do whatever he liked with MGSV, in the hopes of creating the next big open world sensation. He had a blank check to do whatever he liked, developer wise. If he wanted to cancel projects to move staff over to work on MGSV, he could do that. And did, quite often. The reason Konami didn't release a lot of new games around that period was due to Kojima carelessly throwing resources for a project that wasn't shaping up to be what was promised.

No, that isn't the right way to put it... he was putting resources to things that had NOTHING to with MGSV. Namely, flying out to America pretty much every two weeks to meet with celebrities to try and get them interested in working with him. This is something that a lot of people don't know about Kojima: He is OBSESSED with his games being seen as being no different than Hollywood movies. He wasted millions of dollars and his time to fly out and meet with people, trying to get them involved in game development.

Shouldn't you be working on Metal Gear Survive? Wouldn't it be embarassing if you went another year with nothing to show for it with Kojima gone if he was supposedly the problem?

>>384547107
>This is something that a lot of people don't know about Kojima: He is OBSESSED with his games being seen as being no different than Hollywood movies
Yeah, nobody knows this, Like totes.

>>384546294
Switch games are in development. Small ones, but old school fans should be pleased.

>>384546324
Yes. This goes back to my point how Kojima wastes resources on being CINEMATIC.

>>384547325
We listened to initial feedback on Survive and are putting work into it to be more interesting for long time fans.

>>384547107
You're not saying anything that isnt blindingly obvious to anyone who's seen Kojima's Twitter. Fuck off and stop pretending.

>>384547325
Yeah, Kojima is a piece of shit, but the fact that Konami has not improved their output or announced anything significant proves that they suck ass as well

Will you finally make a sequel to Lightning Legend?

>>384547107
that's barely anything to do with silent hills

also almost anyone knowledgeable about konami or kojimbo could've come up with that

>>384547676
Fake leakers should come up with more interesting material, such as accusing Kojima of indulging in acts of bestiality in the Konami corporate offices

>>384547379
>>384547107
Let me elaborate on this a bit more. Kojima wants his games to be seen in the same light as big name Hollywood movies. He wants big name actors playing established characters. He wants Hollywood screenwriters helping him write scripts. he wants to be friends with big name directors and have his work be treated as one of their own.

It's this mindset that led him to approaching all these people trying to get them to be involved with MGSV in some way. Work on the game itself was not getting down, and people were losing their patience with him. MGSV was already shaping up to be not as good as it really should have been.

>>384547879
They should at least learn to not type like American teenagers.

>>384546274
Still wouldn't change the shitty story and the shitty delivery of that story in MGSV though, unless he comes up with some convoluted bullshit reason for the story having been shitty, something along the lines of "'twas all but a dream". No, MGSV is unfixable. The guy had half a decade and a multimillion budget and all he managed was to produce a sandbox game littered with tapes and easter eggs.
Not a single MGS fan was waiting for sandbox gaming, we already have too many of them and none do a particular good job at it, including MGSV, for the very simple fucking reason that nothing is ACTUALLY ever sandboxy other than the exploration, other than exploration every sandbox game to date has a very clearly defined "way to approach shit" gameplay. It is never really sandbox and much more a case of a lack of structure, and boy does MGSV lack structure, it has about as much structure as a wet meringue.

>>384547890
You're just repeating things that have been said everywhere. I mean, nobody believes you're an actual leaker, but at least make it more entertaining.

>>384547107
Prove Kojima used company resources to travel and scout locations for Silent Hills. Prove it with any evidence you can find. If he flew out on his own dime, he was doing work for a project from his own pocket. If he is to blame for an entire teams delays and faults, that is insane; there is some level of culpability for many other people at Konamis game division. If you blame everyone on the team, then you're also crazy; the burden of the games quality and budget isn't even something you can attribute to one person or every person. It's a very specific figure, and the budget they did have was set by Kojimas bosses. It is very easy for going over budget to be blamed on Kojima, but it easily couldve been that the compang knew it would go over budgey and used it for their own PR spin since they were long past planning to enter the pachinko market.

>>384547890
Other than the bit about hiring Hollywood screenwriters(which at this point would probably be helpful, given Kojima's shitty ass writing), everything you've said is something that anyone who has seen his recent bullshit would be able to infer.

Fucking idiot.

TLDR

Kobimbo would rather be a peasant among kings than a king among peasants. Feels himself "too good" for the gaming industry and would rather lick heel of some big name Hollywood director.

If only Roger Ebert were still alive to tell him to fuck off with a friendly reminder of "vidya can't be art".

>>384548043
This is the main reason that Konami became so upset with Kojima. He assured them that he WOULD create an open world game that fixed these sort of problems, and failed to make it happen. Or even really try, as we'll be getting into shortly.

Del Taro was actually the one who wanted to meet with Kojima. He has always been interested in making a game, and Kojima's enthusiasm in meeting film directors seemed like a perfect match. They met, and instead of talking about getting film talent to work on MGSV, as he had promised he would, they wanted to work on a new project. Silent Hills.

MGSV was an unfinished mess. The finale had not even made it past the planning stage, tons of plot elements had not been properly applied. Venom's story was not TOLD, and yet Kojima wanted to start production on a new project, while his staff was struggling to turn MGSV into a proper product.

>>384548589
Other way around, Kojima is free to leave vidya and move on to movies at any time he likes, but he knows he would get laughed out of the industry and come crawling back to vidya with his tail between his legs.

>>384548680
Someone should go back in time and assassinate Kojima before he has a chance to create the trend of shitty, "cinematic" movie games.

Didn't Kojima say that MGSV would do something no other game has ever done before?

What the fuck was it? Or was he bullshitting? I beat V last month and just now that I remember this quote and have no clue what he's talking about.

>>384548936

>>384548628
Friendly reminder that if Del Taro is involved in any new silent hill project any true fan of the series might want to preemptively leave this plane of existence. The man is an absolute hack, people give Bay shit for his ADHD movies, but at least Bay embraces that style fully and goes balls to the walls with it. Del Taro is discount Bay who thinks he's still being artistically significant.

No video game has disappointed everyone so thoroughly.

>>384545950
>Implying that MGS V didn't pay for itself and generate millions in profit.

This is what I don't get about the whole situation. MGS V made way more money than it cost, regardless of anything Kojima did.

>>384548643
It's a Metal Gear game where you fight the undead. Think about that.

>>384548628
Kojima began work on Silent Hills in secret, without letting anyone outside of the developer now about what he was doing. The idea was to impress upon them on how groundbreaking this game was going to be when he was ready to show it.

So Kojima ripped resources and talent from the MGSV team, which was in a sorry state at the time... to put millions of dollars into a fucking demo.

There was NO ACTUAL WORK DONE ON SILENT HILLS. The demo was all there ever was, and Kojima somehow sunk millions into it over a process of three months. Silent Hills being developed while MGSV was in such poor shape ruined Kojima's standing in the company.

>>384549168

There was plans and ideas to challenge the conventional way terrorism and child soldiers are treated in war related media, but it never went beyond that.

The same thing can be said for Quiet, by the way. Kojima wanted them to come up with an explanation for why she was dressed like that so he could fuck around with Joost, but they never came up with a satisfactory explanation.

>>384549356
Ha ha. No.

What you have to understand is that we STOPPED WORK on a ton of other major projects internally, for years, to release MGSV.. Things like Rising and Lords of Shadow were outsourced.

The problem with MGSV is that it, despite it's sales numbers, could not replace what we had lost to get there. Also I again stress still weren't as great as what they were hoping for.

Yes, but he's still on some sort of quest to have his work be recognized as more than "just vidya". He doesn't seem to be interested in making fun vidya, but more in making interactive movies, which wouldn't even be so bad if his huge fucking ego wouldn't stink up the entire process. I mean who the fuck has credits in their game for every single fucking shitty mission, both opening as closing credits and they all fucking start with "director: hideo kojima" in case the mere mortal player dares for a moment to immerse himself in the game and forget what God created it. That is the sort of man he has become. Honestly konami's pachinko parlours will probably be more fun than MGSV, at the parlour will have some 60 year old granny I can nag for a COHERENT FUCKING STORY.

>>384549615
Honestly I expect Kojima to end up the same way as Inafune did.

Without the actual talent backing him up, he has nothing. The fans will start to realize that in time.

Considering 99% of the meaningful dialogue, including the whole "memes" and future prediction that /v/ can't stop fellating, were in the codecs I'd say he's the real genius of the show.

>>384549356
Videogames are comparable to movies in a sense that they both take years to make. If you ever wondered why a movie you liked with unresolved plot points never got a sequel despite breaking even, it's because the thought process is that you could've been spending that time making a movie that actually makes money.

The same logic is applied to videogame companies, at least the huge ones

>>384550502
He directed literally all of the good Megamans.

>>384550469
Except he simply helped with them.
And even then, he's no genius, the fact that MGS2 is considered "genius writing" just proves how much of a fucking joke writing in videogames still is.

Even Kojima thinks MGS2 is no "post modern masterpiece" and that it's just a dumb game with an anime tone and big robots.
Only the autistical MGS fanbase goes full retard on le predicted le SJWs.
Very happy this franchise is dead.

Does it hurt to be that stupid? And I don't mean you, I mean your mom cause I'm sure your dad left a long time ago. Does it hurt her to have to work 2 jobs to keep you both alive because you can't possibly be a functional enough human to live on your own? Does it even register with you that she spends 14 hours a day outside the shitty monthly rental hotel you both live in because her credit is so bad due to you destroying all the Rent-A-Center shit she had to get after you were kicked out of the place your dad stopped paying for after he went out for smokes 19 years ago but you have hopes that he'll find his way back home one day?

He was a planner for Mega Man 4 and a sub-planner for Mega Man 3. That's the most relevant he has ever been in developing a Mega Man game. All his other roles are character designer, graphic designer, object designer, writer, illustrator, producer, etc.

Mega Man X seemed like it was supposed to be his baby, and all he did for it was character designing and writing, pure idea-guy shit. His contributions to Mega Man as a game are insignificant at best.

Del toro doesn't create creatures. He directs, his hand in creature design boils down to "I do/do not like that". I also never said bay "had style", I said he embraces his ADHD style.

Pacific rim is the obvious contender for "like Michael bay, but...". Equally shitty story as Bay movies, equally shitty actors/acting, equally shitty music, worse pacing. If this is who Kojimalam decides to make a new silent hill with it will be shit, if only Hitchcock were still alive and were potentially interested in vidya.

>>384550848
The correlation is pretty strong though.

MGS1, 2, and 3 had fukushima helping Kojima and the stories were good. 4, PW, and 5, were Kojima without Fukushima's help and the stories were awful. Ghost Babel was Fukushima without Kojima and has the best story in the series.

No, they were not, they were dumb as fuck and pretentious talking about a "message" but that message being so simple that it felt like it belonged in Little Red Riding Hood.

>Ghost Babel was Fukushima without Kojima and has the best story in the series.
No, it doesn't, it has an incredibly simple, predictable and generic plot.

Ghost Babel is basically MGS 1.5

I wish the series kept that same gameplay style of 1/2/GB but for some reason it wanted to become splinter cell and half-ass it

>>384551545
I'm convinced you've never played a MG/MGS game.

>captcha: snails
Heh.

>>384551430
Basically for the same reason >>384551313 seems to hate it. It's the only game in the series that understood that plot twists and near schizophrenic motivations weren't a substitute for real characterization, which is where Fukushima's writing excels.

>>384551905
I don't hate it, I just don't think it stands out in any way whatsoever.
Like Peace Walker, is a game not worth remembering.

>>384551905
>It's the only game in the series that understood that plot twists and near schizophrenic motivations weren't a substitute for real characterization
Too bad it forgot about actually introducing characterization.

Like... I'd touch Kojima's dick... but I wouldn't suck it or anything haha. Just like flick it with the tip of my finger.

>>384551854
I sure have. The series slowly lost its identity from 3 onward. The process was complete at Peace Walker. (3 and 4 are still excellent games though)

Ground Zeroes was the best of the nuMGS era, but TPP fucked it up with featurecreep bullshit.

The kicker is that I played Splinter Cell long before I ever touched MGS, so seeing such a unique series try to be what another game already did better a long time ago was disheartening

Either a Gray Fox game or Liquid game, given the Gray Fox zombie connection I'm inclined to guess Gray Fox

>>384552387
No, the only LP I watched was of PW, which was a waste of time.
Playing these games for the story is completely retarded, but the gameplay is just not good enough to justify it, so I just have a hard time recommending this to anyone.
If you want decent stories, read a book, don't play a fucking videogame.

>>384552489
I am not saying they have amazing stories or anything but how could you possible describe 1 and 3 as "pretentious"? They are dumb action stories with over the top animu plots and they never attempt to convey any message. The entire franchise was made up on the spot based on rule of cool. 2 is the only game that you could even consider calling "pretentious" but 99% of it is made up by the fanbase.

MGS3 is unironically more pretentious than 2

>>384551313
>No, they were not, they were dumb as fuck and pretentious talking about a "message" but that message being so simple that it felt like it belonged in Little Red Riding Hood.
Are you sure you've played any MG game? Only 2 comes even remotely close to being pretentious and even then it was just talking about current trends in society.

The "deepest" MGS1 got was preaching about how you should find your own reason for living and MGS3 was literally just a hamfisted spy thriller.

How were they pretentious? In fact I'd say the original 3 are the best in the franchise with a steady decline after Fukushima (but not only him) left.

>>384552690
>mere 80 million return from a 100million investment
100 million return, and on day one.

Considering videogames don't form even 10% of Konami's business, I don't think videogames alone are at fault of that.

>You Fire Kojima's ass and decide to take your company in a new direction
Yeah, because the guy in charge of a division that doesn't represent even 10% of your profits is the one holding the entire company back.

>Your stock triples in two years time
Funny enough, the videogame division only improved because of MGSV.

>Your financial situation overall is better too as you are no longer as heavily invested in the relatively volatile tech world
They must be, considering their Pachinko division is dying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfxNQ7Tfuus

>Kojima wants to make films but he's not talented
>Goes into gaming and eventually makes MGS

>Hayter gets hired to voice Snake
>Becomes massive fanboy with extensive knowledge and appreciation for the series since he voiced every cutscene, every codec call, every grunt, every co-ops communications, and he even re-voiced MGS1 while slashing his pay to have more of the original cast return

>Konami wants to make an MGS movie and won't let Kojima direct it

>Hayter, screenwriter, hears about this and writes an entire script for the game.
>Plans to hire Hugh Jackman, a friend, to be Snake and to funnel his knowledge of the character into him

>Due to Hayter wanting to use a specific director, Konami picks Avi Arad, a heartless Jew, to make the movie instead
>They don't even give Hayter, massive fanboy and screenwriter, a chance

>Arad meets Kojima and toys with his naive aspirations by no doubt offering to introduce him to other directors like Del Toro
>Convinces him to fire Hayter the iconic voice
>Suggests to replace him with Kiefer Sutherland, a friend of his

>Kiefer is then instructed to feign interest and pretend actors give a fuck about video games in an attempt to get Hollywood's Jewish foot into the gaming industry
>Does a shit tier job voicing for the game

The reason we don't play as Snake is because he is a chatty bastard that has thousands of lines of dialogue and Kiefer would charge millions for that because recording would take months.

The series wasn't concluded because Kojima had to downgrade the story for that.

Del Toro also distracted Kojima with Silent Hills, taking his attention away from MGSV further resulting in our unfinished game.

Kojima is fired by Konami for fucking MGSV up, Silent Hills is cancelled.

MAGNUM OPUS.

People will defend this.

>>384552690
Why do you assume videogames are a central part of Konami's business?
Seriously, do any of you know anything about videogame development, investments, or even about Konami itself, or you you simply act like your own assumptions of how all those things work are facts?

>>384552863
Konami is making mad money from pachinko and their remaining dive grass IP. Pachinko is literally more profitable in Japan than casinos.

As far as business decisions goes, Konami did nothing wrong.

>>384552925
I like how every one forgot about Dabid Hater after Kiefer turned out to be a really good VA.

If anything Kiefer was horribly underutilized.

>>384552925
But firing Hayter is one of the few good things MGSV did.
In fact, seeing Hayter cry like a bitch in Twitter for 2 years was more fun than another MGS voiced by Hayter could have ever been.

>>384553019
>Konami is making mad money from pachinko
No, they are not, their Pachinko division has stalled, and is actually going down.
In fact, they haven't released anything significant since MGSV, and even then, their videogame division still pulls in more money than Pachinko.
The Pachinko meme is dead because of the laws they've been introducing in Japan, Pachinko was only a thing because it took advantage of a legal loophole in gambling laws.

>>384553061
>Kiefer turned out to be a really good VA.
things that never happened

>>384553061

>>384552246
>featurecreep
Alright. That's also how I'd describe it. Half of the shit in the game could've been jettisoned. Opportunity cost. On the story, quite a few of tapes were legit amazing and should've been cinematics.

>Convinces him to fire Hayter the iconic voice
Kojima already wanted to replace him in 3 with Kurt Russell.

>>384552925

What?
Kiefer is a nobody, he's only known because of a TV show.
And how much do you think recording lines takes?
He's not making a movie, he sits in front of a microphone and spouts one line after the other.

>>384552981
I assume nothing of the kind, my point was entirely the opposite. Konami doesn't give a fuck about vidya other than potential profits. If they believe investments made in vidya would yield better returns when invested elsewhere, they will invest it elsewhere.
Anyone who paints Konami as evil for doing so is ridiculously naive and I am glad I will likely never have to conduct business with you ever.

>>384552925
>They don't even give Hayter, massive fanboy and screenwriter, a chance
So what if he's a fanboy?

>>384545950
>The real reason Konami is cracking down on the video game division is due to Kojima's influence ruining pretty much all of our brands.

He wasn't allowed to touch anything but Metal Gear for years.

>Everything was going way over budget,

MGSV was underbudgetted, imo. FOX engine was a long term investment for the ENTIRE companies gaming division, not just for MGSV. With an in-house engine, games could be made faster and cheaper long term. Only 2.5 of the 5 years were spent on MGSV itself. You should split the MGSV budget in half. One half for FOX, the other for the game itself.

> we couldn't do anything ourselves (Metal Gear Rising was ONLY as good as it was because of PlatinumGames, who rock by the way.

Correction: Your young retard staff couldn't do anything. The new staff was put on Rising while the veteran staff got delegated to mobile games and handheld titles. Kojima's main staff got butted down to the PSP for PO/PW while the fresh kids tried to do Rising....and then they failed. And then Kojima saved the game by hiring Platinum (and probably shaming whoever was the lead on the young team...betcha it was the bosses kid or something).

>Kojima constantly kept telling everyone that MGSV had the potential to pull GTA numbers, if they JUST gave him the resources and time.

It could have, you stupid faggots. Instead we got a promise of something that could have been greater, but obviously was cut short.

>he was using his resources and time to fly around the world, meeting famous directors and models and starting work on ANOTHER overtly ambitious project, Silent Hills. (I can talk about this in another post, if you guys are interested) long before MGSV was finished.

Also known as bringing gaming into the next frontier of digital entertainment. I guess soapland and Pachinko money is good enough for Konami now, eh?

>We have great talent working on new games

Just think about it.

1. Kojima kicked the old snake VA just to have Sutherland say barely anything (most likely satisfying his actor feitsh and making contacts).
2. The focus on presenting every mission as a 'movie' with credits spoiling everything in it.
3. Non stop masturbatory movie tweets featuring directors or actors
4. Zero gameplay footage of the new game, and mostly packed with actors.

Kojima has shown he is ready to give everything up to be a movie director and is only using the video game vehicle because it's available to him.

Dont make this mistake. Kojima's game design is so stupid that he didnt realize MGS's gameplay shines the most in closed envrionments, which is what the FOX engine also excels at (think OKB Zero, the Mansion, FOBs, etc).

Kojima didnt play to his strengths with MGSV. He got so jelly of Rockstar with the open world meme he tried to bet everything on his slapped together version of the same concept.

>>384552925

Which means Kojima can be hired for consultation for the feature, and give tips to the director, while Konami can do jack shit.

Yes, a look at a 10 year chart of the Konami ticker will show you that.

>>384552881
10% or not, it wasn't giving returns required, and you don't tell investors that the shitty investment is ok because it is only a little bit of shitty investment. No, you cut it, it covered its cost and then some, but by no means was it making big bucks, especially not when compared to other divisions of Konami, and more importantly other market sectors Konami was eyeing at the time. They took their company in a new direction and are now making mad money, why should we consider them evil or bad for not keeping on Kojima and his vidya as some sort of charity project. How do you explain that to investors?
>ya, we took your 100 million, and instead of putting it in pachinko or whatever other business venture we have been setting up lately that is giving mad returns, we decided to put it into vidya again, the returns won't be nearly as big, but we'll be viewed as nice people by a small section of society of which a disproportionate amount are neckbearded manchildren, also remember, it will only be a little bit of shitty investment!
No, your stock is flatlining, you don't even keep 10% of subpar investments, not even 1%. Konami is not a fucking doujin circle creating games out of their sheer love for good vidya. This isn't touhou, which btw is a much better franchise, no Kojima, no Konami and the fan base is equally insufferable.

The Ahab/Ishmael thing actually does make sense within the context of MGSV. It may sound hamfisted as fuck but it does make sense.

"Ishmael" is pretending to be second fiddle to be "Boss" who actually is the one guy following a madman's vision. It's some weird reversal that Venom buys into.

MGSV is shit as a game but its story actually has some neat things about it.

Both are definitely horrible in their own way, Konami for not wanting to make games, and Kojima for wanting to make cinematic, open world garbage.

>>384546274
What if Kojima was the ruse all along? he was never real.

Who is the biggest hack of decade? Kojima or Nomura?

What is Kojima's obsession with Norman Reedus? I mean, I get he's a westaboo but norman isn't even that great of an actor. Are they fucking?

Hey man, it is what is. I liked the name. Don't read into it.

>>384554694

Kojima is considered one of the most important figures in vidya, Nomura is small time.

>>384554694
Kojima acquired more with his lies and the lack of talent, and he stays clean. Todd Howard wish he lied like Kojima and got away with it every time

>>384554694
Nomura easily

>>384553213
>And fanboys are the worst to put in charge of projects.

Short films made by fanboys are usually way better than any licensed video game film made by a studio.

Probably Nomura, the guy who stretched out FF15's development for a decade

>>384554767
By whom? KEK

Or maybe he's just busy working on the game.

>>384554694
>Nomura
He gets barely any recognition compared to Kojima.

>>384554871
Taro is a fucking magician though. He made 3 games that fucking bombed everywhere and Square still gave him the money for Automata.

>>384555084
You mean posting food on Twitter

>>384555117
He's popular in Japan and has many industry buddies. Automata was only made because the Platinum guys explicity requested it.

I like his ideas/stories but I dislike his approach to game design. Taro's not like Kojima who tries to make something at least functional and entertaining - gameplay to Taro is just a means to an end.

>>384554694
Why are people even comparing those 2? You can mention Nomura name at games event and the reaction is WHO??? Hell I think not even 50% of /v/ know who he is.

>>384555117
Taro has connections. Connections are much more important in the industry than name alone.

>>384554709
>What is Kojima's obsession with Norman Reedus? I mean, I get he's a westaboo but norman isn't even that great of an actor. Are they fucking?

He probably thinks Boondock Saints was really stylish.

>>384551006
Same reason RL streams are on Twitch.

>>384555236
Is this post somehow implying the gameplay in automata wasn't miles ahead of MGSV, and the game as a whole blows MGSV out of the fucking water. At least Taro made it all blend together as a single product, gameplay AND story AND sound all in one, instead of giving me a "sandbox" in which I can puzzle together the story via tapes and jeep rides and sound design basically being a playlist of shitty songs at which point why bother at all, why not just tell the player to open up his music player of choice out of game at that point.
And any criticism of repetitiveness against nier, while arguably true, goes doubly so for MGSV. You know you fucked up a sandbox game and fell for the copy paste villages and outposts in several different settings pitfall when it gets repetitive after 4 hours.

>>384555509
>Death Stranding is Silent Hills.

It looks like it's going to be a shooter and far less horror elements.

>>384553946
Name one.

>>384555259
Could have something to do with Nomura not sticking credits with his name in it fucking everywhere in his games. Could you imagine FF where at the end of every battle there would be a quick credit sequence applauding Nomura's direction and character design before it transitions back to the overworld.

>>384555729
Automata is honestly your standard hack and slash with a new neat additions like bullethell, beyond that its rather unremarkable since they didnt do THAT much to improve on Nier 1s gameplay. It still flows pretty much the same way and has very similar balancing issues.

MGSV indeed was shit as a game, but Kojima also put out MGS1/2/3 and even 4, all of which are masterpieces in their own right and FAR better games that Taro has done in all this time.

I fucking love Taro's games, Drakengard 1 is my favorite of his (and I think it has some of the more interesting gameplay in it's series), but lets not fool ourselves into thinking Taro's a competent game designer, much less on Kojima's level.


Put this way, Kojima has a consistant record of Really Good Shit, and had a few bombs, while Taro has a shitload of bombs while his most "functional" game was carried by another studio, he barely had anything to do with the game design.

Kojima is a star fucker and master social climber. But to get into Hollywood you have to be (((political))). It's only a matter of time before he starts virtue signaling by bashing Trump and America on Twitter. He should make the Quiet model fuck Harvey Weinstein. That should seal the deal.

"Konami is a big company and made big company decisions!"

Cool. Then I really don't want them making video games.
Video Games are not Casino/Gambling games.
Video Games are not a service industry
Video Games are not long-term shipping logistics
Video Games are not oilfield exploration and probing
Video Games are not a lot of things that make sense to a Big Company.
Sony and Microsoft have to keep their gaming brands VERY separate from the rest of their business, because it's a volatile business, and someone who invests in Microsoft because of Windows or Office, may not understand why so much money was spent to acquire a game that looks like legos. Someone who wants to grow their money by investing in Sony's digital camera sensor production, may not get why they spent all this money franchising characters from other games to put into a fighting game nobody wanted. So they all make super-sure, to keep these things VERY separate in the investor's eyes.

The video game production industry is not an industry that makes sense from a business standpoint. Trying to make games purely for profit, and nothing else, ends us up in an industry with endless sequels and re-makes (Test groups loved Modern Warfare, so that's our next game project!), formulaic and boring titles that are almost mirrors of each other (Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. Battleborn, Overwatch, Paladins, Etc. Hearthstone, Elder Scrolls: Legends. WoW and the million WoW clones that followed), and increasingly anti-consumer strategies to shorten specific development time, force labor cuts, and artificially extend game life (Day-1 DLC, season passes, online-only, micro transactions). And that's not the way the industry needs to move. Not anymore, not ever did it need to.

>>384555997
To get into Hollywood you have to be not Japanese, and if you really do have to be Japanese for whatever reason you better be one with a lot of money "I can support the production of your next summer blockbuster" kinds of a lot of money. Kojima is not not Japanese, and he is also not a rich Japanese fellow. So all in all his chances of getting into Hollywood fall somewhere between "yellowu piggu" and "go homu".

>>384556464
That's more of a general Japanese thing at this point. You can almost always find passive agressive digs at American foreign policy in Japanese media.

>>384544902

No one will remember Atomato in a few years.

>>384555729
While I agree Automata is better than MGSV, that's really only because Platinum made the gameplay tolerable. Everything else from the pacing to the weird transitions to the balance (retarded iframes) are still big issues.

Taro's games are always lauded for their story, not their gameplay. Taro himself doesn't seem to really care about gameplay even.

How is MGSV a masterpiece?

It basically does not have a story, if you like stealth games, there are better ones. If you like sandbox games, there are better ones. If you like tacticool shooters with lots of weapons, there are better ones.

Playin MGSV feels like someone went into their shed and gave me their old toolbox, sure there is a lot things in it, and I can do a lot of stuff with all those things, but nobody gave me any instructions as to what to do with the tools, and all the tools are slightly rusty and shitty.
