My thoughts on Hideo Kojima leaving

Incase you haven't heard, Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, is reportedly leaving Konami once Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is finished and released.

The man, I believe and this is my opinion btw, is absolutely one of the best if sometimes a bit crazy, story tellers in the video game industry. The story he crafted in MGS 3: Snake Eater was the best one in the series, even if the whole plot lines got screwed up in MGS 4.

I been a fan of his games ever since I played the Twin Snakes, and MGS 3. I always loved his over the top comedy, and as well as the seriousness of his games. He created fantastic characters such as Big Boss, Solid Snake, Ocelot, Gray Fox, and more.

Now here we are, after more then 20 or so years, an era is ending at Konami, but honestly this was to be expected. Kojima has said MGS V will be the final game he makes, and yes I know he's been saying that since MGS 2, but now it's for real. I don't know how he can continue the story of Big Boss, and Solid Snake. MGS V feels like the absolute end for the character of Big Boss, as was MGS 4 for Solid Snake.

The only thing he can do is either make more games set in between the other game's stories, remake Metal Gear 1 and 2, or make a sequel to Metal Gear: Rising.

However like all good things, it must have it's ends. I thank you Kojima for delivering to us a fantastic series that you poured your heart and soul to create. It's sad though, that you have to leave, but I'm sure you'll rebound and continue to make fantastic games.

This does raise a question about Silent Hills though, I mean he was working on it with Del Toro, and now we don't know of it. I'm sure it'll continue to be develop, but will it be different without Kojima?

That's my thoughts on the matter.
