The mistreated Hideo Kojima has finally been released from his bonds as his contract with the dastardly Konami has at last ended, allowing the revered developer to reopen Kojima Productions, acquiring a helping hand from Sony to produce his next ground-breaking title in the process.
An announcement video:
Joined by a handful of his former colleagues from when Kojima Productions still existed, Kojima hopes to give players an innovative experience with his new upcoming IP – this fresh start hopefully allow Kojima to get back into making such high-quality titles, and maybe even something without a protagonist named Snake in it.

Does this guy do fanservice, waifus or lewds? This is important.
he does fanservice. simple
Well, in Metal Gear there are porn mags and underdressed female co-protagonists. Heck, MGSV features a willfully mute sniper who is allergic to clothes and Portable Ops featured a loli and a mode to have long walks on the beach with said loli.
So for all your questions...yes.
That was peace walker.
Then he needs to make more scantily dressed lolis and sexualize more females.
Just to piss of a certain crappy group of fools.
He makes both, scenes with almost naked women and scenes with men with even less clothes you lie, it or not.
You don't need to encourage Kojima, you know.
He will put them all in all the same. Whenever he feels like it.
ZONE. OF. THE. ENDERS.
All the "yes"es in the world.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
And fuck konami.

summary of the video
You can see he's gotten old and I cannot imagine the stress from working at Konami helped.
I wish him the best.
Because you're a stupid monkey inferior to a primitive man, too, he's in Japan.
I won't know how to seem.
BUROGA where he's disliked most in Japan and a hand, construction
The lowest man who was doing stealth marketing.
You who espouse him see as only a stupid monkey which fits into a vicious religion at all.
何も知らない毛唐どもがはしゃいでて哀れだわｗｗｗ
FUCK Konami! It was good back there though.
this made me smile :)
No offense to Konami at all (still love them), but I know that Kojima Productions will be a new clean slate for Hideo. I wish him well in his new adventures and success. :)
Zone of the enders please! Was just listening to the main song of ZOE2 yesterday, praying for a sequel!
kojima is massivaly overrated, and the stories in his games are just stupid. mgs2 had ok gameplay i guess
Heh. Agreed there.
Someone had the guts to say it! Not that he makes bad game but they aren't the BEST EVA!
The story is ridiculously convoluted. The characters, on the other hand are compelling. Except Liquid Snake.
"Lost" (the TV series) also qualified as "ridiculously convoluted", but see how it turned out to be (very) popular.
"Reopening" would imply that it's exactly the same studio. But it clearly isn't, as he only took a few key people with him, and he's hiring everyone else fresh.
Except it's exactly those "key" people who make the studio.
Exactly, going your own way is actually beneficial creativity if your studio has the money.
Look at how Yu Suzuki has his own studio(Ys.net) and has got back a lot of his original Shenmue team(Important people anyways..) from the Dreamcast days for Shenmue 3.
That will likely be down to his staff being re absorbed into Konami. Much like how the key guys from Infinity Ward left after being treated like shit and took a few people with them who wanted to join their new studio.
Aaaaand next game will be PS4 exclusive.
A new series to surpass Metal Gear?!
Silicone Gear, starring Flaccid Snake.
Metal Sprocket, starring Gas Lizard.
wood gear
That wouldn't work because metal is made of wood, so technically Metal Gear would always be be superior.
It'd have to be something more than Metal... maybe Time Gear or Magic Gear.
Well, technically wood is made of earth and water essence, metal of earth, water and fire essence, so metal includes wood. New materials like composite and nanotubes add small amounts of air essence and sprinklets of mana. The Chinese mostly control the production of rare earth essence, but mana is still in US' hands.
lol metal made of wood. Of course you'd have dumbasses like this guy running around.
I for one would really like to see something new from him that has nothing to do with Metal Gear imagine what his craziness could do to something like an RPG.
There's also some rumors about him resuming to work with Del Toro, just not with the Silent Hill title obviously. But not having an existing IP actually gives them more freedom, interested to see what comes out if it's true...
LoliGear
I would love for him to continue his Zone of the Enders series. With his current skills and today's technology, I bet he can make something extraordinarily superior to Z.O.E. 2.
I believe that's owned by Konami just like MGS.
Metal Equipment.
I'd like to see something in the Zone of the Enders universe again.
A technical detail like that was no problem for Devil May Cry's creator, and then, Bayonetta was born. Kojima can easily do the same.
Let's also take a moment to reflect on the blessing that is Bayonetta's amazing ass.
Amen
Fun fact: while Bayonetta, at first glance, is the type of character that would get feminazis up in arms, she is actually quite an example of a strong, independent woman that would make you think twice before contradicting her at anything.
So, in my book, she can have all the ass and boobs she wants. She also happens to have actual character and personality to back it up. Not that a feminazi would acknowledge the last part, anyway...
Most likely owned by Konami.
Spiritual successor under different name.
I could live with a "spiritual successor" of Metal Gear Acid.
