Me reading this whole article :

Watch out guys, 3D beat'em alls are now too ambitious for this era of gaming.
Also, Sonic is now a crappy cartoon character with no ambitions other than giving money to its dying mother company.
He was meant to be like this.

I wish this thread was more active.

Kojima is leaving Konami after The Phantom Pain.

 

[Yoshi-hara]

Kojima is leaving Konami after The Phantom Pain.

I'm guessing it's to work on Silent Hills?

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

Kojima is leaving Konami after The Phantom Pain.

NOOOOOO
I knew something was up when I saw he was no longer listed as an Exec. Dev. for them.

 

[R0Y]

I'm guessing it's to work on Silent Hills?

Nah, name being removed from the covers of all MGS games, he's out.

Besides, Silent Hills was an internal project.

Konami will probably just get a different director to work on Silent Hills, or cancel it. Kojima himself took over from someone else for the original Metal Gear.

Kojima is leaving Konami after The Phantom Pain.

Do you think he will mean it this time or is he just saying that?

 

[R0Y]

He's not saying it. An internal source that reported to Gamespot is saying it after everyone went WTF at stuff like this:

I wish. Dude is so out though after this, this doesn't read like a troll.

The branding changes appear to relate to a restructure at Konami, announced earlier this month, to what the company calls "a headquarters-controlled system".

The idea seems to be that Konami should be front and centre of all branding and production efforts, not individual studios such as Kojima's Kojima Productions. This, in part, would explain the removal of "A Hideo Kojima game" tagline, used in all Metal Gear Solid games up to this point.

And it looks like the Kojima Productions LA studio, set up in September 2013 assist Kojima Productions with Metal Gear development, has been renamed Konami Los Angeles Studio.

The Kojima Productions LA studio appears to have been renamed to Konami Los Angeles Studio.
Konami issued Eurogamer a follow-up statement on the changes:
"As we have already announced, we are shifting our production structure to a headquarters-controlled system, in order to establish a steadfast operating base capable of responding to the rapid market changes that surround our digital entertainment business."

Kojima leaves Konami? Aw, that's too bad. He was a great actor:

But jokes aside, it's really too bad. Great guy and great designer.

I didn't even notice the removal of that tagline when checking out the game's logo. That sucks...

It's the Wii U game the bad one. The 3DS version is average and though I haven't watched it yet, I've heard good things about the cartoon.

Besides if it was bad, Twilight, Sword Art Online, 50 Shades of Grey and many modern pop stars have thought us you don't need to be good to have success.

Where's SEG- oh wait, they weren't good anyway.

That's pretty accurate.

50 Shades of Dumb is a stupid book. I digress.
the movie is also dumb.

Where's SEG- oh wait, they weren't good anyway.

SEGA would be good if they knew what to do with Sonic, namely:

bring back the meaning of Sonic SEGA pls

 

[R0Y]

Oh lol, I forgot about them. That's how irrelevant they've become :'(

Dreamcast-era Sega was best Sega. I loved Generations though.

That movie got awful reviews lol. It's not like reviews matter but I'm just saying. And no Sonic Colors .GIF/10

You mean when they were about to discontinue hardware production?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Wasn't the "success" of Sonic Boom responsible for SEGA's statement saying they're leaving consoles for mobile?

 

[R0Y]

You mean when they were about to discontinue hardware production?

And nearly bankrupt. Amazing what harsh times did for their creative output.

 

[Substitution]

But didn't you hear? They innovated Sonic! That has to be a good thing, right?

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

So Konami is pretty much dead now. Unless they decide to finally make games other than MGS, which is unlikely. I wonder what Kojima's departure mean for Silent Hills....

 

[This Guy!]

I'd feel sad about Kojima leaving, but in reality I don't. When you close one door, another opens; He'll do fine.

 

[Space Stranger]

Remind me why I decided to go to the Anime club?

Indeed. Can't go wrong with making multiple Genesis add-ons!

I was thinking that the next title for this thread should involve anti gravity.
Chances of that happening: -50%

 

[PF9]

I find it very amusing when I play as Pikachu and I summon Meowth out of a Poke Ball - in the Pokemon cartoon, the two are mortal enemies. Anyone else amused by this?
