Hmm okay, I have no idea who this Kojima person is, but NO MORE Kickstarters for me. Unless it was a Legend of Mana 2 game, then maybe..haha.

He was the only one keeping Konami afloat. Now he is not there anymore.

And...I am impressed, seriously, not knowing who kojima is? what rock do you live under? :P

Hideo Kojima was to Konami what Shigeru Miyamoto is to Nintendo; the sole pillar holding the company afloat. He's also considered one of the fathers of MGS and Silent Hill.

So, whatever project he'll take to Kickstarter now, you can bet your buttocks the whole internet and half will thrown their wallets at it.

That said, I wonder what will the Mighty Jimquisitor say about this, as I'm sure that the moment he learned of it, he jumped so much in joy that an earthquake alarm sounded in some parts of England....

I thought Jim moved to the US?

Strangely, I've never played MGS or Silent Hill games. Well, I tried for about 15 mins but they very boring for me. Much more enjoyed DOOM and Thief.

Well, my knowledge of Hideo Kojima is *he created the Metal gear solid series* and...that's about it, so if Feathers never played it, I can understand why he wouldn't know much about him

Regarding kickstarters, I'm a little leery about funding one. What happens if I fund a kickstarter and the game doesn't happen?

He also had major influence on Castlevania Lords of shadow (the first one)
He was also responsible for the zone of the enders...

P.T...

Yeah, but castlevania is more often related to his colleague, Koji Igarashi (A.K.A. IGA-sensei), whose Kickstarter for a new game I proudly funded, hehe.

You mean if you pledge your money and the game doesn't get fully funded? Well, you get your money back in that case. In fact, your money doesn't leave your wallet until the game's fully funded.

My goodness.... :stunned: :what!?:

The stars are aligning for something epic to be born.

I-I can't even fathom the level of awesomeness whatever they decide to do will have, be it games, movies or anime.

I guess you can say, their force is awakening to epic proportions. Just like a certain movie I hope to see in the weekends.

Don't get too hyped. Remember Bungie.

I see thats as more of a fault from activision and deadlines.

also the writers leaving months before the games launch. Leaving the story cracked and hollow.

they've been trying to redeem themselves with taken king, and constant updates,

I can't do that anymore myself. Too much stress. I only get hyped while watching movies and anime these days. Instant satisfaction stuff.
