I just feel bad for the guy, he's been trying to duck out of the franchise since MGS2 and even tried to kill Snake off for good in MGS4. Why can't fans just accept there is nothing else to tell and just let the series end on a high point rather than risk the chance of overextending the franchise and allowing it to finally fall from grace. Besides, we both agree Kojima's a great game designer, so does it really matter if he's working on something that isn't MGS? He's still going to bring those fresh ideas he would have in an MGS title to any game he works on, so why can't we let him move on and perhaps make sequels to some other high profile franchises he's made like Snatcher or Zone of the Enders. I mean for smurf sake, even Nomura and Sakeguchi got to make and direct non-FF games over the years. Outside of being called in to finish up Castlevania Lord of Shadows and finally producing the third Boktai game Lunar Knights, he's been doing nothing but MGS for the last several years. Let the poor man move on, he's only been asking fans for ten years now.Originally Posted by Bolivar
I don't mean to hound you, Wolf (no pun intended...originally) but I just don't get why people say this. The man's done five main entries of the Solid series in 13 years... there's less deserving series that have been far more diluted, yet these have all been amazing; a credible argument can be made that they're the best games on their platforms. I suppose some people want him to direct in different franchises, but that's kinda moot when there's so many fresh ideas in each new game. I can't speak for anyone else but when you have a series that consistently puts out the best games in town and they don't release on that repetitive of a schedule... I can't help but celebrate every time a new one's announced.
I've played the demo, the Japanese one to be exact, so its not like I don't know anything about the game. Personally, I feel I've been hesitant to play it because I'm afraid it will play overall like MGS4 and be more of a third person shooter than a high stakes stealth title. The demo, and my second round with MGS4 kind of killed my interest back when I picked it up, but I guess it's collected enough dust if you're going to pick on me for itI don't think you have a claim considering you haven't played Peace Walker.
