Hideo Kojima har avslutat sitt arbete med Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, något som kan komma att bli hans allra sista arbete med den älskade spelserien. Hur Metal Gear-serien kommer att bli behandlad i framtiden står skrivet i stjärnorna då Kojima nu har fått lämna/valt att lämna Konami, troligen på grund spelets galopperande budget.
Och det är inte bara fans av spelserien som är ledsna över uppbrottet. I en intervju med Gamespot berättar EA-bossen Peter Moore att även han känner sig tyngd av beskedet:
"I've always liked Kojima-san. I got on with him during my days at Microsoft. I just think... what's going on there... I just think both of them should kiss and make up."
"From my experience, and I've spent a lot of time working in Japan, I think that Konami and Kojima will figure it out. Those kinds of business relationships [in Japan] are typically for life, and Kojima is such an important part in what has gone on there.
Clearly, they're at a rocky stage in their marriage. But you could take what is said about [Kojima Productions], about a game not adhering to budgets, about a game not being ready, and you could apply that to a lot of people."
