learn about business and you'll know the full story. it's always about power struggle and money.

we do know that kojima burned through a sh*t ton of the company's capital. now, imagine if you burnt through all your employer's capital reserves to finish ONE project, taking 7 years of expenditures, and STILL NOT finishing it at the end. oh, and then undermine their directives and sneak your name into the code of the project they hired you to work on.

it makes him look like someone with a brain. it makes him look like someone who can do their own research and reach logical conclusions as oppose to the mindless drones sounding off the dribble the "journalists" tell them to believe.

he wasn't allowed at the awards as a representative of the konami and metal gear. he just decided not to go because he knows it would be an insult to attend, possibly win, but get no limelight for it. dude's a drama queen.

can't reason with these folks. they still have kojima's penis in their mouths.

btw folks, konami fronted the entire bill to develop that game. kojima burned thru near 100 million for development AND STILL produced an unfinished game. you people, like kojima, think money grows on trees. that is the reason he got canned and is shamed in japan's gaming development houses.

it's not a "niche" game just because you're a graphics whore ;)

"What I do find annoying is all the content of a game is locked behind toys."

Hmmmm, let me try to understand this...

I pay Bestbuy $11.30 for Amiibo ---> I get a decent quality collectible toy + Locked Game Content (call it what you will, it's DLC in a nutshell)

You pay XXXXX $14.99 for run-of-the-mill-DLC ---> You get Locked Game Content + well, nothing.

I fail to understand your gripe here.

Pachinko division is pretty much what made all the money that kojima used to finance a HUGE DEVELOPMENT TEAM FOR 7 F@CKING YEARS.

kojima is a loose canon...i doubt any major company will sign him on given his track record of 1) draining development reserves, 2) taking 7 years to make one game, and 3) undermining his bosses by acting like a narcissistic 7 year old by secretly plastering his name throughout Konami's product.

the only company i can see that would be willing to put up with his antics is Microsoft because of their desperation in Japan.

he got that impression because you didn't parrot his "omgz, this will be the next iphone" opinion.

yeah, so, how many months do you think Sony will give this $300 consumer investment before they pull the plug and leave Joe Blow holding the VR bag, if sales aren't up to snuff?

totally agree with you. btw, you forgot to mention the abortion that was WONDERBOOK.

the people on here heralding the success of VR are dedicated gamers on a gaming website. of course it will seem like there is so much support for VR by the tiny sample of pro-VR opinions here. fact is, from a peripheral stand point, the track record is clear...people just rarely buy them. i'm not even going to go into the fact that this peripheral will cost as much as a console. do...

those weren't rumors. just look at the game. you're delusional if you think that it didn't require a crap-ton of money to develop...FOR 7 YEARS.

he was draining the entire company's coffers to make one game. they had enough and gave him his walking papers and cancelled the other money pit, PT. in response, he spams his name all over the project they HIRED him to develop.

in short, it's going to be hard for him to get any clearance from...

you forgot that for blatant consumer fraud, the lawyer also needs to be paid. they also love going after these types of cases because no jury, nor judge, would ever give the scammer any slack.

Those "slave" conditions are the reason people in the western world can pay $500 for a top of the line 60" hdtv.

You should really stop laying into the "atrocities" of chinese abuse, when your insatiable desire for dirt cheap goods is what fuels those "inhumane" conditions.

You seriously think you'd be able to afford all your toys and gadgets if you actually paid the countries fair value for the goods they produce? YOU ...

Your comment is silly. Expectations ARE WARRANTED if they were advertised as such.

By your argument, gamers and backers shouldn't really be "expecting" anything for the money they fork over. Where are you saying the line should be drawn if not drawn from the PHYSICAL and OFFICIAL things they show to reel in your money? Should the line be "as long as it closely resembles", "as long as it kind of resembles", or even "they don't have...

Actually, the stupidest thing you can do is make a statement about someone making a bad comparison by offering up an invalid statement to try and prove your point.

Fact is, the idiot Kardashians and Einstein can be used for making comparisons. Whether or not it is a logical or valid comparison depends on the premise behind the comparisons.

If you can't connect the dots to see the undeniable truth behind the VR movement and the other past gimmicks that fa...

Same thing that happens to prima donnas in Hollywood...people don't want to work with them. Guess his ex-bosses didn't want to work with him either.

Yep, it appears you only need to graduate from elementary school to be an internet "journalist" now.

Actually, it's well known that Microsoft don't want to rely on other servers. One, they don't feel other people's server are up to snuff. Two, they want absolute control over servers their game is on. This is in regards to policy, performance, direction, and security.

Of course, this would require that cross platform play would have to be hosted by them, but I truly doubt they want to flip the bill to make other (or Sony) platforms money.

So...

QFT. Many of the hazards that come up are signal by visual warnings in the background. Goodluck seeing the environmental warnings while giving Titan a BJ as a tank. Of course, the guys trying to sell VR won't point out the obvious flaws.

But good news...you can find out the logistical game design flaws AFTER paying "599 US Dollars" for it.

Assuming there's no nausea on the final product, I wonder how many people will injure themselves whe...
