Obligatory Fuck Konami
Hopefully the PC version doesn't get delayed
They had one fucking last job And they blew it
Cheeky title tag :ok: [img]http://sharex.moe/i/2015/11/15-11-03_23-21-39.jpg[/img]
FUCK OFF Konami. They really just want rid of Kojimas name everywhere.
Konami confirms: MGO studio still exists, all 35 staff memebers just took a vacation break [editline]3rd November 2015[/editline] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CRvvlQ8WwAAWZar.png[/img] as pictured here, jap devs are very elaborate when it comes to taking cig breaks dont worry mgo will be supported after the release yes totally and in addition to all this. [quote]Metal Gear Online 3 is the third installment of Metal Gear Online available for free to people who purchased Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.[/quote] - that's how konami always refers to MGO, we're literally not entitled to even getting mgo in the first place. It's free stuff after all
Loved Metal Gear Online from Guns of the Patriots. I really hope that this game doesn't get shafted soon. :(
I hope this won't affect the PC version. Then again, it's still a rumour.
[QUOTE=usaokay;49039733]It would be very dumb of Konami to do this since MGO3 is still new.[/QUOTE] It would be very dumb of Konami to fire Kojima. It would be very dumb of Konami to cancel Silent Hills. It would be very dumb of Konami to kill all video game development except for PES.
[QUOTE=usaokay;49039765]It would be very smart of Konami to create more pachinko machines.[/QUOTE] I can see it now, a new MGO themed pachinko machine that you have to CQC to get it started.
They didn't let them go They're on vacation without pay indefinitely
[QUOTE=Damjen;49039748]It would be very dumb of Konami to fire Kojima. It would be very dumb of Konami to cancel Silent Hills. It would be very dumb of Konami to kill all video game development except for PES.[/QUOTE] ...And because Kojima is no longer part of Konami since a long time ago, we're not gonna have Snake back in Smash.
I just can't keep up anymore, I cannot make sense of how Konami thinks these actions can lead to any kind of progress on their part... Someone explain it to me?
Literally just a rumour from twitter that multiple news sources have found and capitalised on. Let's see some actual proof before making conclusions.

[QUOTE]"KONAMI has made the decision to close its Los Angeles Studio, effective immediately, due to the product development resources being restructured into a more centralized unit. This facility contributed to the recent METAL GEAR SOLID games. KONAMI will continue its operations to support all METAL GEAR SOLID titles, including the recently launched METAL GEAR SOLID V: The Phantom Pain and METAL GEAR ONLINE. METAL GEAR ONLINE is still scheduled to release for PC Steam in January 2016."[/QUOTE] Let's hope this is true.
