This is some of the worst decision making I've ever seen and we just had a decade of Phil Spencer.

Not only did they (apparently) turbo fuck Kojima publicly and bail on the game - but they did so after they already put several years into it. Not only does Microsoft get Kojima's next project - they get his next project and 2-4 years of Dev time paid for already by Sony.

Holy shit.

Imagine how much winning Xbox would be doing if they'd gotten Death Stranding as an exclusive.

The texture cache size had nothing to do with cartridges. That was just how SGI built the chip.

Sounds like an old wives' tale. Cell was an issue of IBM's neato silicon ideas outrunning their ability to deliver tools, something that has been a problem at that company since the 1980s.

I have a love/hate relationship with Kojima and his games. He's one of the last auteurs of gaming left, but he's also a pretentious hack that has gotten way too high on his own farts.

I love Kojima games because of the fun gameplay loops, quirky mechanics and attention to detail (even for things that don't really matter that much). People may hate on him for Death Stranding, but it takes real talent to turn delivering packages into an engaging mechanic. Even his pre-MGS1 games are all great fun, and most importantly, radically different from each other.

Where Kojima fails for me is in the writing, the man needs an editor/tard-wrangler to take his ideas and turn them into an actual script, with pacing and reasonable length. Kojima without adult supervision tends to go full retard, and Konami was right to kick his ass out considering how much money he burned on developing MGSV.

I hate the pants shitting guy because they married him to Merryl, and I also hate what he did to the poor woman in 4. Zone of the Enders 1 takes all the worst aspects of Evangelion's writing and ramps them up to 11, second game is actually fun though. Death Stranding is just gibberish, could have cut away all the dumb weird shit and just let me be a postman in the post-apocalypse, fighting off feral niggers trying to steal people's Amazon Prime packages.

I am curious to see what he'll do with his tranny horror game and this MGS ripoff (didn't he whine for years that he was tired of making MGS games?), if nothing else they will be unique, though I have grave misgivings about letting Kojima write the plot for either without someone to filter out the autism.

I kinda feel the same way with Metal Gear and Death Stranding. These are very unique and interesting games to ponder over, but some decisions are just self-serving and head-scratching.

Like Quiet. You don’t have to justify her appearance the way you did. Just say you like tits and ass. Or do what you did with EVA and say nothing. You already balanced that out with female characters of substance like The Boss and Meryl.

Or Akiba. He’s a gag character. Making him the husband of Meryl of all people just seems a little too goofy even for Metal Gear.

I feel like Kojima probably wanted them to release a physical edition of Physint which triggered them and the higher ups immediately asked to terminate their partnership no matter how big of an L that would be and the amount of money they would hemorrhage.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. He could have gotten word of it before its public announcement.

I liked Death Stranding (even if other people justifiably don't) but it's certainly a game that lasts in peoples minds and would have been a fair bit better than what Microsoft actually had at the time (which was the Gears of War Funko Pop game, Crackdown 3, and a Battletoads remaster).

I never cared for X-men besides Rogue being cute but I like hack n slashes so seeing this being butchered and made for people who can't scan items at a supermarket makes me feel dumb that I'm aligned with them through company's eyes

Hideo Kojima's brain is fried. He hasn't made a good game since MGS3 and would rather LARP like he is friends with celebrities and plug some total garbage G- or PG-rated theater flick (in the hopes that the film and television industry will finally call and beg him to direct something).
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he can edit a great trailer completely by accident using music recommended to him by mistake that he doesn't really understand. That takes a creative touch. But is he creative enough to call "creativ dad"? No.
So it doesn't surprise me that whatever big company that gives him money to make a videogame gets fed up and pulls the fuck out. I don't think I'd blame them.

I get firing the expensive, arrogant asshole but where will the money that will be saved go? On other projects made by more wasteful, more arrogant assholes that never made a good game in their life. They can go and say "Kojima was a wasteful asshole and we fired him for it" when wasteful assholes are the exact kind of devs Sony hires and cultivates.

I mean I get SweetBaby probably fondled their balls but of all the things to beat the character models with a fugly stick in, a comic book superhero game?

The industry built on square-jawed supermen and playboy models in spandex?

I find it funny that game devs can't make women look normal in games (except for Debra Wilson) when a game like Cyberpunk 2077 has normal looking women and fuck even something like MGS4 had properly scanned people and that was in 2008. It's all ideological bullshit

What's REALLY funny is that from the huge leaks a couple years back, insomniac promised the higher ups at sony that wolverine would sell at least 10 million.
Click to expand...
I mean, the Insomniac brand name will push the people who didn't get alienated by Spider Man 2 and they will do what they did with GoY and SM2, and many other games Sony made where they bundle the fuck out of it in the vain jopes to inflate the sales numbers (dispite disney taking most of that money and making Wolverine even more of a flop than it would otherwise).
