It expresses the vision of "aiming the new world with the latest technology and pioneering spirit".

I'm going to read into that as being about VR because I want to

I love hideo and I know everyone else here does too but the more this konami nonsense goes on the more it feels like one of those situations where your buddy has a smoking hot girlfriend & none of you can believe he would have ever kicked her out but you aren't the ones putting up with her poo poo every day

yeah, maybe, if it weren't for all the insane stuff like removing kojima's name from MGSV, patching TPP to do the same, and not letting him accept awards for the game he created

I used to feel the way Kojima fanboys feel about him, but about Will Wright. And then he made Spore, and I learned that no man is God, and accepted the Savior into my heart.

I like his interviews and the way he handles the process of making those games. He's meticulous in a way most people in creative spaces aren't and it's rare

There's an article that was posted in the MGSV thread about the process of making MGS4's intro and I think it's a perfect example of Kojima's attention to detail and passion for game design that is unique in the industry.

I think there's one paragraph about trying to talk to him but he was too busy looking at footage of doorknobs to make sure the texture/lighting was right for the shot or whatever.

Most developers wouldn't hire a company and use dozens of man-hours to make a 10 minute live-action intro to a videogame.

For its first project, Kojima said, "I’m thinking smaller-scale, not too many people, and focusing on game creation at first." From there, Kojima says it’s possible the studio could expand beyond games.
"The focus is on digital content, so we could consider movies, animations, anything," Kojima said. "But first I think people expect games from me. That’s where I want to put my focus. Once we have an established IP in games, something solid that satisfies people, then we can consider movies and videos."

Kojima reiterated once more that he’s still interested in working with his Silent Hills partner Guillermo del Toro, whether it’s a game, film, anime, or something else entirely.
“We’ll have more agility,” he said. “We’ll be able to do things that are more edgy, preserving the quality we’ve had so far, while at the same time finding new challenges and exploring new areas.”
The Studio Still Hasn’t Decided What Game Engine to Use
On why he went with Sony.

"It's thanks to Sony that I was able to make a splash in the global market. It's been 10-plus years since then and the working relationship at Sony, the people at Sony, we gel well. People at Sony have been friendly with me, I work well with them. I got several offers from many different companies, but with Sony it came to a point where I know these people, we know each other well. I feel like this is an environment where I will be able to make something and be comfortable. And I believe that is the environment I need right now."
