Kojima Can Be In Some Positive Headlines
2015 wasn’t so kind to Hideo Kojima in terms of news. Sure, he put out yet another amazing entry in the Metal Gear Solid series and finished off the year with a grin as he embarked on his new future. But, much of the year was muddied by one of the weirdest displays of power ever shown by a gaming company. It seemed as if Konami knew how to do nothing but torture its most well known dev, and in they did it all in the public eye.
Cancelling games, denying access to awards shows, and just being all around weird with their properties (a Silent Hill pachinko machine but no Silent Hills? Seriously?) left Konami and Kojima in some less than favorable positions. But that’s all in the past now. Kojima is free and no longer focusing on 2015, but instead he’s working with his brand new studio on a franchise for Sony. While the man knows how to keep things to himself, we can expect to see some cool art, interesting ideas, and amazing announcements coming from the liberated genius. 2016 just got a lot more interesting.
