So IF this game is a dud it’s all on him.
I’m hoping it’s not.
Communist DETECTED!A film producer can say exactly the same tweet and it holds true, except in Mr. Kojima case he forgot that "Games" need to be "coded" to become reality. So with this tweet he continues to disregard the hundreds of coders, developers, artist who helped him to create his games. Typical Kojima fashion since 1985.
Communist DETECTED!
He could have given some credit to all the other persons involved in every single topic he raised in this tweet.

THANK HIDEO KOJIMA FOR PLAYING
For Kojima however, people are saying that a new Metal Gear without him is impossible, and I just about agree.
People with much much less creative influence get their name on the covers of games and films all the time.
I’m trying to think of literally one other game developer who slaps their own name on the box art like Kojima does and I’m coming up blank.
Kojima is a rare auteur in a hobby that lends itself to more decentralized development, and replaceable staff. After all, how many long-running series now have almost completely different staff than they started with?

I’m okay with, and like this tweet. Anyone working that hard, should be bragging. I think Aceofspades has a good point that he should give more credit to the people that help bring his dreams to life, though.

Sid Meier? Though to be fair, that's almost just part of the brand name at this point.

Tom Clancy games too. I think its more the 'original story' part that the name is on the cover for.American McGee, Sid Meier
i probably sound like a broken record at this point but after Phantom Pain a Kojima-less Metal Gear is the only kind of Metal Gear I want.
We've got ourselves a Metal Gear Survive stan over here.i probably sound like a broken record at this point but after Phantom Pain a Kojima-less Metal Gear is the only kind of Metal Gear I want.

Aw fuck
Most of Phantom Pain’s problems can be attributed to the fact that Kojima was kicked out and that Konami rushed it out.
Thats picture is actually better than the final artbox. He could use instead of that horrible.
Do you have a source for this?Not entirely true. Kojima kept delaying the game and exceeding budgets. By the looks of it, he only finished the gameplay loop. Konami got tired of bleeding money & time with little to show for it. The Phantom Pain has great elements but was basically released unfinished.
I'm curious about Metal Gear Survive. The videos I watched looked rather good and I'm under the impression the game was hated because it's fashionable to hate Konami.We've got ourselves a Metal Gear Survive stan over here.
5 years in development is more than enough time to finish a game.Most of Phantom Pain’s problems can be attributed to the fact that Kojima was kicked out and that Konami rushed it out.
Hating a company that black lists their ex-employees to make it as difficult as possible getting life insurance is justified in my book.I'm curious about Metal Gear Survive.

This is irrelevant to their games, though.Hating a company that black lists their ex-employees to make it as difficult as possible getting life insurance is justified in my book.
Konami Is Making Life Difficult for Former Employees
The company is making it difficult for former staff to get new jobs and even health insurance.www.pcmag.com
Oh, I see.There's unconfirmed reports
That's not just Kojima, Konami were dicks to quite a few former employees.Hating a company that black lists their ex-employees to make it as difficult as possible getting life insurance is justified in my book.

Taking responsibility.,,something you dont see very often in modern gaming.
You can see how much this guy wants in on Hollywood. This could very well be a poster in the theatres or the Blu-Ray cover for his movie.
It's easy to take responsibility when the whole media and gaming community prepared themselves to love your game in advance.Id say in modern society
This is irrelevant to their games, though.
Oh, I see.
I know. There's a reason why a lot of notable game designers left Konami.That's not just Kojima, Konami were dicks to quite a few former employees.
What these articles described is pretty much every japanese company ever.The unconfirmed reports is about Kojima not getting payed after leaving Konami.
Konami was also petty enough to forbid Kojima from accepting his reward at the VGA.
Geoff Keighley: Konami Barred Hideo Kojima From Accepting Metal Gear Award
Metal Gear designer Hideo Kojima was apparently not allowed to attend tonight’s Game Awards, per an announcement by host Geoff Keighley. A lawyer for Konami reportedly barred Kojima from attending, nor accept his awards. The Phantom Pain’s Kiefer Sutherland accepted one of Metal Gear’s awards on...kotaku.com
Kojima was “locked in a separate room for the final six months” of MGSV, says Geoff Keighley
Hideo Kojima just collected the Industry Icon accolade from The Game Awards 2016, after Konami blocked his attendance just days before the show in 2015. That action, at the time, prompted The Game Awards host, Geoff Keighley, to speak out against the Japanese publisher during the live show. He's nowwww.pcgamesn.com
No one is stopping you from playing MG Survive tho.
Yeah, it's crazy how often we hear JP companies sending letters from their lawyers threatening not to accept video game awards.What these articles described is pretty much every japanese company ever.
"No one is stopping you from playing MG Survive tho."
I will, it looks fun.
Im a Survive fan. Is there a problem?We've got ourselves a Metal Gear Survive stan over here.
Yoshikazu Matsuhana interview said:What is the difference in role between the director and assistant director?
On one side you have the director who draws up the plans for the project and explains his idea for the game. On the other side you have the actual programmers and designers who actually make the game. I am in the middle coordinating the flow of communication between both sides. In addition, I am in charge of environmental developement as well. The MGS team consists of programmers, designers and sound engineers, etc. It is my job to decide how to best put these groups together in order to create the best game possible.
