Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear Solid series, was very clear about where he stands on the remake of his 2004 masterpiece. Asked if he’d be playing Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, he laughed before telling fashion retailer Ssense, “No, I won’t.” After his very public ouster from Konami in 2015, it’s clear the creator has made his peace with leaving his career-defining series behind once and for all. For the lead developers behind Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Kojima’s matter-of-fact decision isn’t the cause for bad blood. In fact, they’re still hopeful that the man behind the original game will see and appreciate what they cooked up, regardless of whether he plays it himself. |
