Kojima Vows to Leave Industry if Next Project is a Failure

[tsu-money]

Interesting that he would say something like that. I hope his next project won't suck.

 

[SonicKoala]

Well, since the original MGS series is over, I can honestly say that I wouldn't be too concerned if he left the industry. I feel he's contributed to gaming in a very significant way with MGS 1-4, and he almost fucked it up with 4. I think it's better if he leave while he's still partially sane. There's only so many 45 minute cutscenes I can take.

RapeLay Solid 2 by Hideo Kojima.

Pardon. When he says taboo and that it will probably get him fired, my first thought came to that one game that horrified many.

Cum of the Patriots?

Yeah, I thought the exact same thing.

 

[WorldCritic]

This should be interesting.

 

[AboveUp]

Well, considering every single Metal Gear Solid game was going to be the last one, and the fact that every game starring Snake was going to be the last one...

I have to say that I don't think he's not going anywhere anytime soon.

 

[Jared]

He's a strange, strange man isin't he?

Well, thats why we love him.

This is true, hes not your normal japanese developer.

I hope he dosnt leave. I love what he does, and, he does what he loves. Although, if his next project is ZoE 3 then...I am sure it will be epic

Ninja'd! You bastard.....

OT: Why do people make ultimatums like this? If his next project does suck, he'll have to quit, even if he doesn't want to. If he doesn't, he'll look quite foolish. Either that or he'll leave for a few years, then have a change of heart, and decide to make another game.

 

[JEBWrench]

He's going to remake Snake's Revenge. (If I recall correctly he didn't make the original. That's why it's taboo!)

And release it for the iPad.

You heard it on the Escapist first!

 

[AfroTree]

And if he does.

I shall kill myself

X.X

 

[Mr. Mike]

Well if he's trying something new and innovative, good on him. The game industry is growing stale, it really is. Too many FPSs, very few new IPs, and even fewer gameplay innovations. Hopefully you can turn that around Mr. Kojima.

 

[lacktheknack]

Can we stop using the photo of him on the duck? It's just really weird by now.

 

[Starke]

Is he going with an actual homoerotic game this time?

In a world, where society cannot understand a game designer and his love for a strange duck... thing.

 

[JEBWrench]

Wait. It's going to be a Twilight MMO. Remember, Kojima is a Twilight fan, so much that he judged a fanfiction contest.

 

[JohnSmith]

He didn't seem to say that he would want to quit just that if he messes up whatever taboo subject that he is dealing with then he is going to be forced to quit.

 

[Dectilon]

He vows to remove the last shreds of gameplay from his game.

I'm personally hoping for a mild faliure, enough so that he doesn't have free reign on his projects anymore.

 

[scarab7]

Sounds like lots of drama. Well I guess people that like games purely for the game, not creator, would be happy. If the game is good, he stays, if it's bad he leaves and will never made another.

Why did his next game have to be a 3d castlevania
