My analysis will be in my book, and its too early for me to even get into that side of things at this point. Perhaps you interpreted it as negative because you expected an analysis instead of a review. Perhaps it’s rare, but I can simultaneously understand the deep intentions of Kojima and step back and judge his output from a more unbiased point of view. If you read my actual review of MGS2, which follows at the end of my “Complete Breakdown” analysis, you’ll see that I also give it criticism in ways that I never did elsewhere. MGSV is a product that costs money, and which either meets or fails to meet expectations of consumers who paid to experience it. For a review, however, the purpose is to decide what I personally like or dislike, and to criticize the product as a product. Most of my articles do not review MGS games, they study them, as you said. My review was written as a judgment, not an analysis. This was my reply to him, which may interest some of you: He said that it felt like a kneejerk reaction against the game, without all of the nuance and insight that I usually give. I received an email recently from a reader who wasn’t impressed with my review. Tagged avengers, day 1, day one, mgsv, money, phantom pain, profit

“These games get more social buzz on opening day than most movies do, and the revenue for one of the top games this year outdid the highest-grossing movie start by nearly double.” “The gaming industry is a lot bigger than most marketers realize,” said Tamara Gaffney, principal analyst and director at Adobe in the report. Accounting firm PwC says that the movie industry will be worth $88.3 billion in 2015. And games already make more than film: Gaming will be worth $91.5 billion this year, according to research group Newzoo. It cost $80 million to make, while Age of Ultron had a massive $250 million budget. This feat is even more impressive when you consider that Metal Gear Solid V had a cheaper budget. Do these people realize that games cost over $60 USD each? Did they realize that next-gen consoles have no games right now? It will be interesting to see what the reaction is to this news. This shouldn’t be news, but of course there were countless commenters who replied to the controversy surrounding Kojima by saying MGSV’s budget was astronomical, the game would struggle to ever become profitable, etc. So, the next time someone tells you that triple-A gaming is dying, you’re allowed to laugh in their face. Yes, The Phantom Pain made almost twice as much. Compare that to the blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron, which made $84 million globally on its opening day. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain made $179 million globally on its opening day, according to Adobe Digital Index’s new report on gaming trends. So yeah, the whole Kojima Productions dismantling probably wasn’t about money. Surprise: MGSV was very profitable on Day 1 Tagged geoff, jade raymond, keighley, kojima, mgsv, sutherland, tga, the game awards I don’t see this as a jab at Sutherland, just pent up disbelief that Hayter was rudely snubbed for the role. I can’t wait to find out what the hell is going on yet.Īlso, Jade Raymond - who many speculate was drunk at the event - took a moment to spit on the decision to replace David Hayter in Metal Gear Solid V. The game has sold incredibly well, and obviously it won an award, so it is mind-boggling why things would continue to drag out in such an ugly fashion. It truly does seem like pure animosity toward Kojima, which begs the question of what exactly he did to piss them off so much.
We hope to see you at The Game Awards 2016.”Ĭlearly this is the most pathetic move yet by Konami. Hideo is in Tokyo right now, watching the show, so I want you to know, Hideo, that we’re thinking of you, and we miss you. Such an incredible game, is Metal Gear Solid 5, but that’s the situation we’re in.
He’s still under employment contract and it’s disappointing - it’s inconceivable to me that an artist like Hideo would not be allowed to come here and celebrate with his peers and his fellow teammates. Kojima had every intention of being with us tonight, but unfortunately he was informed by a lawyer representing Konami just recently that he would not be allowed to travel to tonight’s award ceremony to accept any awards.
Here‘s what Keighley said about the situation afterward: (Sutherland noted that Metal Gear Solid fans are the most devoted of any he’s ever seen, saying that of all the things he’s done in the past, the only posters he seems to sign are for Snake in MGS.) During the ceremony MGSV won an award for Best Action/Adventure Game, and Keifer Sutherland went up to accept it on Kojima’s behalf. Hideo Kojima was legally prevented from attending the Video Game Awards yesterday.
