I mean isn't he celebrating a bit prematurely? Seriously the guy has done nothing to back up his worth since his infamous break up with Konami almost 2 years ago now. All we've seen are lofty "ideas" of a game via a couple trailers (first of which wasn't even in engine) and tons of media about him touring studios, picking a game engine, building $10,000 statues of his company mascot... Hanging with his Hollywood friends and constantly hearing how great they think he is. Now giving speeches at a damn film festival?
Look I love Kojima and MGS is one of my favorite series ever, but he seriously seems to have gotten a massive ego over this whole #F Konami BS. Death Stranding could very well be a Masterpiece and you would think with as much as his reputation is relying on that he would be out of the spotlight and making sure it is. I just get a very "putting the cart before the horse" feeling with him lately and his rockstar antics make me think that Konami may not have been as much in the wrong as most gamers think. Plus we can't forget this "theory" on his firing from the MGS 5 composer: The main reason for the falling out, at least in her opinion, is that Kojima gets paid a salary, and doesn't make any profit share on the game. He gets paid a certain amount no matter what, and he was spending so much money and delaying the project, and adding all these features and making sure the game was the biggest and best thing it could be, and Konami was unhappy with that because [delaying] has no effect on him. He was spending the budget on this and that and upgrading the Fox Engine and then delaying further because the engine wasn't ready, and Konami wasn't happy with that because he gets his salary and he takes a more traditional "Japanese man" approach by not taking a profit share. So in doing that, he gets a little more than a game creator would but doesn't take bonuses from the game selling well. Anyway I just feel like Kojima needs to put his money where his mouth is. For the past 2 years the guy has been all talk, no action and he has done nothing to prove that Konami wasn't justified in their actions and that he still has something to offer the gaming industry. His overall demeanor has come been very distasteful IMO as well.

What you want him to make games every year like some Call of Duty s***? he could take another 2-3 years imo, just deliver another great game like every Metal Gear game except V which wasn't finished, still a masterpiece though.

Lol this is pointless, you know how deep Kojima can be. Everything he has been doing...everything...will lead to hints or clues about his game or throw you off more. I will wait patiently for the game he wants to make since I'm a bigger fan of Zone of the Enders then I am Metal Gear. Kojima is a rock star, will see what you have to say when his new joint drops.

Honestly Kojima is truly one of the greats for me. All MGS games are very lush with story and gameplay. When MGSV came out and it was clear the game was NOT ready at all to be released no matter who was at fault Konami should have just let it get finished made they buckets of money and end it there. But instead they fired him and only kept his name during development because they knew it would sell on his name. But Konami honestly lost waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more then Kojima did because he has a track record of making some of the best games ever(be it plot,graphics,gameplay) MGS4 is almost 10 years old and still looks better then half the games that released this gen. But the reason why it hurt Konami more is because Konami has a track record of developer abuse(look up Lords of Shadow 2) and the fact they pulled out of console development to focus on panchiko did not help them at all. The fact they even remastered MGS3 with INSANE graphics just to end up as a damn panchiko game royally pissed everyone off.

It's the celebrity age. What do you expect? Just being famous is enough for the kids these days. Most people can't even name basic important figures in history, but they faint and cry and swoon over wastes of life like the Kardashians. Soldiers and cops and firefighters and EMT's and ER nurses expose themselves to danger and risk their lives for ungrateful strangers for average and below average wages. Athletes and actors do bulls*** and make millions of dollars.
I think Kojima is vastly overrated. The MGS series is fine gameplay-wise and the characters are cool and interesting, but the stories are ridiculous. I don't see the connection between those games and Kojima's legendary status. I'm not saying the MGS game are bad, yet I don't see how they even remotely justify Kojima's cult status. I'm sure the fanboys and 20-somethings will take issues and defend him until the death.

I would like for him to post some info once in a while, the only reason I remember he existed at this point are his Twitter pics

Kojima is a bad director that just makes trash that appeals to gamers' desperate need for pseudointellectualism.
So maybe he's a great director for knowing his audience. Hm.

I wonder if 'Deus Vult' would still be such a popular phrase in nerdom if they knew there was no 'v' sound in Latin.

somoene's jealous ragekit posted... majin nemesis posted... I can't necessarily speak for TC. But to me, these responses actually shine light on you and whether or not you're a little (or a lot) jealous. Look at the bigger picture and examine the subject matter instead of just responding with such a simple approach. Some of us expect people of status to deserve it in a proportionate way. It's tiring to see people who don't deserve as much facetime as they get plastered all over everything. In a world where you can turn on YouTube and see someone playing guitar in their bedroom better than people who are paid millions to do it professionally, I expect people who are in the spotlight and receive constant and high accolades to actually be worthy of those accolades. I find Kojima's work and his resulting status disproportionate. I'm not jealous. Would I love to make money by doing something creative and being received favorably for it? Sure. That doesn't make me jealous of Kojima, though. His work doesn't equal the celebrity status he enjoys.

I just wish game sites would stop posting whatever he does on a daily basis like its newsworthy. "What cereal does Hideo Kojima eat for breakfast? What is his favorite color? Where does he get his glasses from?" On and on. Every time he takes a dump, someone's reporting about it. It gets annoying.

majin nemesis posted... So because I think TC might have been motivated at least in part by jealousy to post a topic about Kojima apparently "having too much fun" (which, as I said, doesn't make sense because he's currently working on a game right now), it means that I'M the one who's actually jealous of Kojima, and was just waiting for someone else to s*** on him first? Interesting. |

Note that I said whether or not. And no, that doesn't imply that you absolutely are. It's a talking point, not an accusation.

The funny thing is, Konami is making a s*** load of money right now. Kojima has got a lot of work to do to prove himself. According to gamers, they're an unsuccessful company because they're not making gamers happy

He seems to actively be making a game (an ambition one at that) and he's trying to stay in the spot light to stay relevant in the public eye.
A lot of people in his position went and tried to make a cheap game and barley got anywhere while people forgot they even exist. |

You know for one of those years he couldnt do s--- without Konami sueing him right? That's not an excuse. That does not stop him from creating.

The only thing that matters is if Death Stranding turns out good or not. Yup. Billysan posted... DrRockso87 posted... It's pretty rare that I see anything like that on Kojima. I also stay away from sites like Polygon and Kotaku so that could be why. |

I love how TC acts as if his fans have, even for a second, taken his balls on their chin.
Kojima could be working on an app that lets you keep track of food stamp purchases and the unemployment percentage would jump tenfold over night.

When the f*** was Kojima ever a game developer? As far as I know the guy has always wanted to be a movie director but got rejected by Hollywood due to his garbage ideas and is now stuck directing his s***ty movies inside videogames.
Funny that his games are supposedly just movies yet have better gameplay than your favorite seriesZelduhh posted...

what success
the only masterpiece he has ever made is MGS3 and in some ways 1(for it's time at least)
4 and 5 are a joke
All of his games have been successful.
Deal with it.

I'm convinced mgs1-3 were complete luck after the abominations that were 4 and 5.
Despite my love for 1-3, kojima has made it quite obvious that he's a fraud
Nope. I know this is gamefaqs, but your personal opinion can't be so far up your own ass that you think thats even remotely true.

I assure you that I think it is quite true and that konami 100% made the right choice by getting rid of him. Perhaps luck is a strong word to describe his success on the early metal gears, but whatever it was that made them great, he very clearly lost sight of it amidst his gigantic ego
We shall see when (if ever) death stranding comes out, but judging by the trailers he is still up to his old tricksI used to love Kojima for over a decade and thought he could do no wrong, but the MGS games were getting progressively worse and are nothing beyond silly fan service and panderings. MGSV was the last straw.
