Konami fired Kojima because he was in the way of having Metal gear solid become a yearly release dispoable game much like Call of Duty, Madden, and AssCreed.

You were a good series Metal gear but instead of dying with Dignity you shall be dragged through the streets and whored out to Necromancers because Konami is too dumb to make another Suikoden. Metal Gear Solid 5 is truely the last Official and blessed Metal gear, all others shall be regarded with the same disdain as the Simpson Seasons that came after Season 10.

Heroes may never die because they can be kept alive with nano machines which are living in a severed arm attached to a psychopath, but without a soul they are but empty shells of men.

I'm behind on my videogames news so I'll just ask if this is real before I let the thread descend into anarchy.

All we know for 100% sure is that Konami announced that Kojima is leaving the company effective April 1, but Kojima is still in charge of MGSV until it releases. It's likely not an amiable separation, because Konami is removing the Kojima Productions logo and Kojima's name from all MGSV promotional materials. Also Konami announced that they're hiring for the development team of the next Metal Gear game (presumably without Kojima).

kojima wanted mgs to end after 4

konami wanted more

so he made more. they wouldn't give him the funding to do, like, zone of the enders or the secret snatcher hentai game he always wanted to make, they'd only get out of bed for MGS. so he kept at it because at least he had the creative freedom to do what he wanted.

however, he *really* wanted mgs to end after 5. konami wanted more. so he quit. so konami went 'you can't quit... because we just fired you!!! :owned: but uh, please finish MGS5'

that said 'yearly release disposable game' is an obvious taint reaper-ism

April First? It's just April Fool's viral marketing for Metal Gear 1, 2, and MGS1 being remade into one mega huge game of Phantom Pain's depth with Hayter returning.

Kojima definitely got fired, but nobody knows why yet, as far as I know. The "Konami wanted him to keep going, he got fed up and quit" story seems plausible but they might have just shitcanned him because they're getting out of game development; MGS and Pro Evolution Soccer are like the only two series they're still actively developing, PES may not be jumping to the next generation, and this is most likely the last MGS game.
