SirDiaz321(2015-09-29 03:31:03)In the wake of rumors that Konami was planning to mostly exit the AAA console gaming space, a community manager at the company now says "don't believe everything you read in the press." UK community manager Graham Day claims in a new interview that things have been "taken out of context" and also stresses that the Metal Gear Solid franchise can continue, even if Hideo Kojima is not a part of it.
In an interview with Game On Daily (via Videogamer) about Kojima's rumored departure from Konami, Day was asked directly if the Metal Gear Solid series can live on without Kojima. He replied: "Yeah, course it can. Metal Gear is about the story, it's about the characters..."
There were rumors about Konami being done with making AAA games and only making PES games. Hearing that they could continue MGS without Kojima made me happy-ish. It wouldn't have the spark and charm of a Kojima game but I'd still buy it, it's Metal Gear.
