Patching his content out of the PC version of a game is bizarrely petty though, although I wouldn't be surprised if that's him asking to be erased out of spite over whatever the disagreement was.

If that day ever comes I immortalized Kojima in a Steam screenshot so his part in the game will never be forgotten.

what is it that makes game development a million-dollar costly affair?

what stops a AAA company from making something as good as Hotline Miami or Metroid Prime?
Good news! There IS a AAA Dev Megacorp that makes small, cheap, high quality games using small, highly talented indie-style teams!

Bad news! It's Ubisoft.

This seems like a reason to make HL3, not a reason not to. The last game is getting long in the tooth, so now's a good time to rework poo poo.

That's basically what Newell said, not that it was canceled, if a group of dudes at Valve want to make HL3 and have good ideas he's going to let them make it. There just isn't anyone stepping up or has given him something good.

Kojima will pretty much be able to do whatever he wants to now and I'm ready to see what it is :)

i liked the one panel where a guy asked him when it was coming out and he replied, "if you know enough to ask, you already know what the answer is"

I can't imagine how batshit insane Kojima games will be now that he doesn't have execs to reign him in.

Maybe it'll be less crazy cause he has less angst about being forced to keep making MGS games. :shrug:

Dunno if this is the right place to ask, but is there a decent gaming news site out there that isn't universally hated for some reason or other? I'd been using Joystiq to keep abreast of things but now that they're gone I'm looking for a new RSS feed.

Agreed. The mefdium of video games has long since evolved past crude holdovers like "health packs", which drag the players time and attention away from our cinematic experiences and epic story's.

If Konami actually took a prank this far, and in the middle of march at that, then they probably should get out of the console business (and every other business)

yeah same, i had the wife play pt for me after a while. for what its worth silent hills probably would have been too horror and not enough survival for what people want from silent hill games, so it might have been for the best.

i want more horror and less survival. I liked that weird one on the Wii that was a reimagining of the first one better than all the other games.

I was really looking forward to Silent Hills for maybe just being a weird and creepy game with some cool story and thematic content, rather than the action games with extra gory monsters console horror has become or the PC games where you're completely powerless and the jumps scares are dialed up to 11 and they're just unpleasant to play.

I think there's definitely a balance to be struck between 'not scary' and 'induces PTSD' which Silent Hill used to get really well

As a long-time fan and apologist of the series I really hope Silent Hills doesn't suck. It's been a long time since there's been a Silent Hill game that wasn't stuck in a divisive hell between "it's really not that bad you guys" and "this is the game that kills the series".
