It’s so weird seeing Konami being this public-facing after all the stuff that went down with Kojima and them pulling out of the console game business. They go out of their way to mention that Kojima and the other original devs will still be credited- the fact that this needs to be clarified says a lot about how bad the situation was
I know it’s just a cultural thing but there’s something kind of funny to me about how rigidly formal all these Konami events are, though I guess do prefer it to the corporate vibe you get from a lot of American game marketing
They even show and read some pretty negative comments at one point
be me
spend $100 million to mo-cap models’ boobies and hire hollywood actors
spend budget on secret side project horror game that everyone still freaks out about to this day
get fired
everyone hates my former employer and support me
create my own studio
receive infinite funding from Sony to make first strand type game
former employer falls down the shitter
release first strand type game - receive even more infinite funding from sony
former employer re-releases all my games because they can’t do anything without me
former employer re-releases 20 year old horror game because they can’t do anything without me
former employer must be nice to me to appease their customers
