I mean every time that Kojima made a game it turned out to be something that people talk about for years on. But the second it gets slightly more ambitious investors get their panties in the knot about it even though throughout history Kojima's products made a massive return. This split will also, in my opinion, lead to Kojima losing access to Decima engine, which sucks in a whole different way.
In the case of MGS4 and MGS5, because they're weirdly horny... Like, MGS5 was a good game, but you can't tell me that Kojima doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about bikini clad snipers.
He didn't really want to make MGS4 and MGS5 and then still made successful games. Death Stranding franchise is one of the "games that he is well known for" and it is most def not 20+ years old. Dont see your point.
No, Guerrilla Games. The engine also already runs on virtually every platform, including the Xbox and PC, but also phones.
Even though Guerilla Games is currently owned by Playstation Studios, they are still effectively an independent studio.
Microsoft, otoh, owns like half a dozen engines, uses none of them, and licenses none of them. The only way I'd see a engine swap happening is if Kojima somehow swung a deal to license the newest version of the Doom engine.
Pretty remarkable. There are only three reasons I intend to buy a PS5 and Kojima games are one of them.
This is very strange given the long-standing relationship between the two parties.
Death Stranding 2 underperformed.
It sold only 2-3 million copies which, depending on how much money they spent on development and marketing, may be a net loss

I never bothered Death Stranding and everything after MGS-3 has been very meh IMO. He didn't really want to make MGS 4 & 5.
MGS 3 itself while an excellent game overstays it welcome after you defeat "The End" IMO.
The games that he is well known for at this point are really 20+ years old.

I totally disagree. Death Stranding was groundbreaking in many ways.
Yes. And DS2 was somehow boring. It felt like a DLC for DS.
Talk about an unforced error
decima was sony's though — xbox port means new engine, that's the real delay
