Hideo Kojima leaves Konami - Update: Founds his own studio, new game funded by Sony

[Mangoose]

Kojima should merge with PlatinumGames.

 

[Siveon]

The first game they would have to make would be Zone of the Enders 3.

I don't think the world can handle a Zone of the Enders game being programmed by Platinum. So, we'll just leave it as funny thoughts.

ZoE with God Hand difficulty?

Edit: Oh shit! I totally forgot about the Transformers game!

I expect some kind of ZoE spiritual sequel judging from their interviews where they mentioned mechas and the logo itself. Let's see if Kojima really can break free of his Konami shackles to deliver something original.

So was it confirmed if this has anything to do wtih the marketing gimmick of the italian doctor doing the world's first ever head transplant?

Damn. That feel when:

- No chance of any new games at all featuring solid snake, not even an interquel between MGS1 and 2.
- No chance of a truly proper remake of MG1/2 or MGS1.
- No real future at all for Metal Gear.

All that's left is Metal Gear Rising 2, probably with no input from Kojima.

Damn men.

I didn't want to feel these feels.

Odds of a new game featuring Solid Snake have increased, not decreased. Kojima was going to let him walk into the sunset, and if anything would have created a new Snake for the new generation, probably with Raiden as the mentor figure.

Got the inside info now Family friend in London that still works at Konami went to dinner with Kojima a week or so back. Supposedly he was touring studios in London.

Also scored the following (shirt and signed Day 1 edition of Metal Gear)
