I trust Kojima on this because tards be like "YOOO HIS LAST TWO GAMES FLOPPED!" meanwhile his last two games were Death Stranding 1 and Death Stranding 2, so you're telling me Death Stranding 1 flopped yet Sony greenlit a sequel to the supposed flop? Yeah nuh uh
You're telling me Kojima keeps missing deadlines yet Sony themselves back in the DS1 days, literally word of god from Sony, says that they have NEVER seen a AAA game on the scale of Death Stranding be made as fast as Kojima and his team were making it, and yet he is missing deadlines now? Hmmm, curious.
You're telling me to trust the billion dollar corporation who keeps wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on live service games with a couple of thousand players rather than the games that actually sell at MINIMUM a couple of million copies.
Or is it actually just excuses so Sony looks good?
You're telling me trust Sony who literally lied about how the split happened so Kojima had to come out and say they just suddenly sprung the information on him with no notice, yet Sony is like "we're mutually parting ways hurr durr after consideration and so on and such forth"
Lol, no.
Sony is a burning trashfire right now and they're trying to save face.

The people who are the problem never think they're the problem.
How many actors and actresses are in this game? Spending a large chunk of development budget on just hiring Celebrity #164 is retarded, but that's Kojima and his unhealthy obsession with Hollywood.
And Sony is already bleeding literal billions of dollars due to everything they touch being shit.

Serious question, how did Sony drop the ball and trip over themselves this hard?
It was impossible for them to fail, they ended the last generation winning, went into this generation winning, everything looked like Sony could not possible in any way fail and it was looking really grim for Xbox.
But somehow against all odds they started failing.
There is no way the people making the decisions at Sony aren't some of the biggest retards on the planet. They didn't even have to do anything to keep winning, but they fucked it up.

The great irony of being considered "Too big to fail" is that it usually does.
Take Wolverine, 1st party developer, massive budget, people's second favorite marvel character. And it landed like a wet shit.
Because when you think you can't lose, there's no incentive to make sure you don't.

Kojima is the greatest creative director in the industry and the fact people here hate him so much explains why shit like Fortnite and Genshin is all the rage these days. Gamers don’t deserve good games, nor do they even want them

They don't need to win more generations. People have built digital libraries that they won't abandon to switch sides. It's over. It's a bit of a misnomer because there is technically competition but this is what monopoly behavior looks like.

Kojima is a weird autismo who needs a tard wrangler but I'd still belive him over Konami and Sony who have track records for being massive scumbags.
Sony cut him loose because they want to focus on live service bullshit and Kojima refuses to make those.

They invested a lot in Kojima and hopped DS1 being free on PS+ for a time would boost its notoriety for a sequel to do even better.
DS2 failed to make back its budget, so when Kojima wanted even more money for an even bigger game, all while working with Sony's direct competitors, they dropped him.

All because of a little French game

>>747644430
A good director works around limitations. But Kojima wanted open world slop and mocapped hollyjew celebs. Even though he knew he couldn't fill the world with anything of substance for the THIRD TIME after ds1 and MGS V. He wanted to make a game genre based on interactions with the terrain and realistic physic even though he knew that the engine's physic and limitations for vehicles and ragdolls and balance were laughable. He's a clueless buffoon.
Even an indie studio making a hiking game will make sure that falling down triggers believable ragdolls and not pre scripted repeating animations. It's fucking UNBELIEVABLE.
LOOK AT BIKES AND TRUCKS AND HOW THEY DRIVE AROUND AND CRASH.

I think O.D needs to sell 2~ million copies probably.

Kojimbo actually makes fun games. He also makes fun movie games.

Sony doesn't make games and make shitty movie games. The best sony exclusives are 3rd party games that they bought, like Bloodborne, a twelve year old game.

I trust Kojimbo.

It's a shame fucking MS out of all companies came to the rescue. I'm not buying an xbox either. I hope PC gets it and the game runs well on with Proton on Linux.

DS was clearly a very economical game from the get go, and done so in a mostly smart way. I feel like if he spent less money on getting celebrities in the game, it'd be better in the end because they could put that money towards something more interesting.

I would love another Kojima game that has zero celebrities in it.

Sony are the ones who pushed him to make Death Stranding 2 rather than an original IP because they're retarded enough to think the first game sold ok so that means a sequel is a safe bet without looking at why the first game sold and why it wouldn't carry momentum into a sequel because they didn't keep up with online gamer discourse.

They own the commercial failure of Death Stranding 2 since they didn't understand the market and asked for it. They've done the same thing with Horizon, not understood that the success of the first game was partly novelty and kept trying to push out more games like Lego Horizon Adventures and Horizon Hunters Gathering that absolutely NOBODY cares about. Playstation is the worst it's ever been because of Sony's leadership not understanding the business.

I wonder why they are not happy with his performance. He is literally what you want as a game studio, his is putting out odd, unique IPs that have just enough relevance to more than recoup the budget, while offering some alternative in your portfolio. And I don't think there was a single game of his that actually flopped, was there? Iirc death stranding more than made the money back, and death stranding 2 was also on its way to more than just recoup the cash.
I guess they expected to quadruple the investment or something insane?

a small delay is completely normal in games development retard, that guy has a very consistent timeline of releasing games and what everyone always forgets is he and his team shipped Death Stranding in like 3 years while barely having an office to work in, his team having to learn a brand new engine etc. there was a now deleted sony interview where they said they have never seen a AAA game getting developed this fast but of course that got deleted because sony doesn't want to embarrass all their other zero talent devs

Yes I played it, you don't need to confirm or deny that you're a butthurt retard with no arguments left though, we know.

How many actors were there in MGS1, MGS2 and MGS3 again? You know, the good ones?

I think it’s fucking hilarious that Fairgames had a gameplay reveal a few days ago apparently, but nobody noticed because Wolverine just turned out to be that shitty

As bad as they’re doing they’re still outperforming Xbox. It’s not Sony falling apart it’s the whole industry. It’s been in bad shape for a while, Sony really isn’t doing anything out of the ordinary for the industry. And frankly if AAA wasn’t afraid of releasing anywhere near GTA 6 there would be other things to talk about and none of this would be news really. It’s just a slow quarter for the industry with the absolute worst media presence and they have nothing better to do than act like there’s millions of people ready to revolt over discontinuing discs (something the entire industry is moving towards) Kojima is also notorious for running up a budget, he’s been booted from now two major partnerships, and the key part of this falling out was breaking the exclusivity agreement as well. It’s just bad business, and let’s be real, what has Xbox Game Studios backed that’s not been a steaming pile of shit in the last decade? Maybe Forza Horizon? It’s not a fantastic sign for the quality of whatever he’s over doing, and given Xbox’s track record, it’s probably just a matter of time til they kick him out too.

I'm sorry, but do you not actually understand the concept of a movie game? Sony is literally THE brand renown for making games that are more movies than games.
So yeah, when you are making a game that is close to a movie than it is to a game, then the voice actors/actors are going to be the more important aspect of the game.

The MGS games were more cutscenes than movies long before they started hiring actors to replace character designs you fucking retard. There are infinite ways to craft "movie games" without whoring yourself to suck Norman Reedus' dick.

Besides that, these games actually have dozens of hours of gameplay, and Kojima HIMSELF says they made cuts to THE GAME partly due to him hiring these actors

You do realize that this was mostly due to the technology of that era not allowing for more right? Trying to capture the likeness of someone in 3d was impossible without the character looking like an abomination from the beyond. They did what they could with what they had. Now they can do more, so they do more. Are you really that dense? Its funny because even you realize that the games were already going light on gameplay and were leaning into cutscenes as much as they could. But you still can't fathom how that same recipe would work now with better technology at their disposal.

The BEST movie games they made were made WITHOUT actors you retard that's the point. Actors aren't needed, much less Norman Reedus or Mads Mikkelsen. Original character designs >>>>> any real life actor. The only reason to favor these big name actors over original character designs or any lesser known actor is Kojima wanting to befriend Hollywood whores
>>
>>747641538
I think Kojima is a hack, but no way in hell I will trust Sony.
Plus at least, Kojimbo make fun games, Sony does shitty movies.
>>
>>747661407
He hasn't made a fun game in over 20 years

Concord spent 400 million

>>747643032
I get what you're coming from but he's literally done this before at Konami and there's absolutely no reason for his games to be filled with expensive A-listers, literally anyone could've been Sam, him being Norman Reedus added NOTHING to the game.
>>
Why am I suppose to care if Kojima goes over budget?
>>
>>747663384
we are all shareholders here obviously
>>
>>747663274
There are no A-list actors in any of his games.
Norman Reedus is only known for a shitty TV show. He's not fucking Tom Cruise.

Thanks for conceding

Congrats one of 2 million people who played ds2. It still failed financially. I also even said i loved ds1 so idk why youre so defensive
>>
>Death Stranding's entire design, story, and aesthetic was necessitated by budget cuts
based

Even if Kojima overspends at least he puts out a product. Sony has spent $400 million on Concord and $3.6 billion on Bungie and got nothing out of those. They just hate their Japan roots.
>>
>>747661484
Translation:

>He stopped making games I LIKED and therefore he no longer makes good games.
>>
>>747664594
It's not like Concord and Marathon weren't products. They were just meant to mainstream cash cows that crashed and burned spectacularly. Ironically, Death Stranding is even more casual than either one of those games. I haven't played either, but I'm confident in that statement just because of how braindead Death Stranding is.
>>
>>747641538
>going out of his way to include big Hollywood celebrities in everyone of his modern projects
I know Konami and Sony suck but it’s kind of hard to believe Kojima was working well under budget for any of these games
>>
>>747664594
more realistically he said no to live service slop and they immediately said "theres the door"
>>
>>747661407
Are you implying death Stranding isn't a glorified movie game?
>>
>>747643032

He was not making them money, simple as.
Which means his game cost more than they made.
He was kicked out of Konami for also fucking around and not finishing MGSV, despite having plenty of time.

He is also known to chase american b-listers to scan and include in his games, which frankly adds nothing to them except allows him to rub shoulders with them and pretend he's a movie director.

Etc

>>747661202
I mean I guess you are too dense to understand variety. Its like saying the best cakes are made without chocolate. So what, some people want chocolate.
And no, even the best movie games without "actors" generally have AAA voice actors. Kojimbo is probably the only one that is doing what movies used to do, using A lister Hollywood actor names as a pull to play his games. And guess what, it works. So many people keep talking about who he is casting in his game, that alone becomes marketing.
>>
>>747641538
This is the guy that dedicates devtime and delays his games because the reception is too good.

MGSV costed 80$ million and it made 200$ million in it's first 24 hours

>Which means his game cost more than they made.

But somehow they refused to reveal the budgets from DS1/DS2, Kojima is apparently ''too expensive'' but were not going to show anything to back up our claims.

>He was kicked out of Konami for also fucking around and not finishing MGSV, despite having plenty of time.

Konami just wanted to find an excuse to fire him and focus on mobile games and pachinko. And MGSV being ''unfinished'' was a narrative that they wanted to push.

>He is also known to chase american b-listers to scan and include in his games, which frankly adds nothing to them except allows him to rub shoulders with them and pretend he's a movie director.

If that is inconsequential, why even bring that up?

The (retarded) food analogy you're making should be "Kojima replaced nuts with chocolate but removed flour to his cake". Absolute mongoloid. You deserve the shit you eat. Actors replacing real characters doesn't objectively add something, it arguably REMOVES more, and then it removes more on top of that by eating the fucking LEVELS budget. Kill yourself. I mean it.

Sony is going to regret it when Physint becomes the next Metal Gear.
