No

didn't Platinum say they were interested, but only if somebody else did the writing?

now that Kojimjam isn't in the picture Konami would have nothing to stop them from jumping in and fucking up as much as they possibly could

This isn't going to happen, and even if it did it would be awful because Konami's management would ruin it.

They do reuse things, I suspect they use "new engines" as a way to launder drug money.

>>14841151

Just saying:

1. Hollywood was placed at California so drug mules could easily come in and out of America, and an escape route for people who got caught

2. It was also an easy way for movie directors to launder tonnes of drug money.

3. Video games are mostly made in California, where the cost of everything is high. Why bother staying there if everything costs so much?

Hypothesis: The Video games industry in California is there as a way to launder Drug money. Remember rumors of Zoe Quinn and how shes the main cocaine dealer for many people in the industry? Remember Randy "Blue Meth Whale" Harper? Remember Adam Sessler?

>>14840666

That was Kojimbo.

Konami did nothing wrong.

>>14841278

Even more reason to kill Zoe Quinn and all others.

such a meme game holy fuck.

Platinum can only fucking make meme shit or total flops

>>14841288

Nice dubs

Now screencap it and find more evidence, I'm certain another anon has something to add to this theory.

>>14841288

I forgot to add:

1. "We're not making enough money goyim"

2. *hires Hollywood voice actors*

Does that make any economic sense to you? No, but it makes sense if the actor is putting the studio inconctact with local Drug dealers.

>>14841278

What's this about Randy Harper and Adam Sessler?

>>14841321

The Blue Meth whale is a pedophile who is well known in the Linux community as a Meth addict.

Adam Sessler was acting exactly like he was on Cocaine during an E3 interview.

>>14841278

>Video games are mostly made in California

More games are being made in fucking quebec than california you dumb non-white. Also you clearly don't know anything about how money laundering works.

>>14841341

Oy vey, the Goyim know.

SHUT IT DOWN

>>14840584

The plot of MGR has nowhere else to go, it gave Raiden pretty much all the closure he could possibly need after giving him back the whole PTSD child soldier thing he was not quite over at the end of MGS4.

>>14841351

But now he's comfortable in his role as a killing machine: so he can continue as he was by the end of MGR. Also, who gives a shit about the plots of action games like MGR? They are only ever a flimsy pretext for carnage.

>>14841341

>More games are being made in fucking quebec than california

Sure, because games made in Quebec barely even need to sell a single copy, since the maple-flavoured baguettes will throw a mountain of arts grants at just about anything. That doesn't explain the the US vidya industry is based in one of the most hideously expensive locations possible. These studios could've picked almost anywhere at all to set up shop, but they pick the place where it's hardest to earn more from vidya than it costs just to stay alive? Even after accounting for current year stupidity, it just doesn't add up.

>how money laundering works

Money laundering is made possible in just about any situation where money is moving around, if the taxman doesn't have an accurate enough idea of how much things generally cost. The government has been pretty consistent in showing that they have no fucking clue how video games work, ever since they very beginning. Do they know how much a new engine is supposed to cost to produce? Can they tell the difference between different engines? I bet they can't even tell the difference between gamebryo and the creation engine.

>>14841351

The ending of MGR had him continuing to fight, and there's plenty more shady plots that he could fight against in the setting. They could start the sequel literally a few seconds after the end of MGR and it would make sense, and it wouldn't need to be connected to the events of the first game at all. As for character development, it can dig deeper into why he's jet-setting around the world to slice people up, instead of settling down with his wife and child now that he has the opportunity, when that's the exact thing that he wanted to do in the first game, before he got interrupted by all the desperado stuff.

>>14841399

Stop using facts you non-white goyim, the games industry is innocent.

Notice how (((he))) immediately accuses me of being non-white, almost like a bad parody of /pol/? I bet he's either /leftypol/ or from the JIDF upset that we've discovered a source of income.

>>14841345

He's not OY VEYing, you just don't know what you're talking about. Hollywood is where it is because of the temperate climate and close location of lots of different environment types for filming. The city, mountains, forests, wealthy neighborhoods, suburbs and shitty ghettos are all within a couple of hours driving distance. Has nothing to do with the drug trade other than that Hollywood directors and actors are hedonists who enjoy pills and coke. As for game developers, California has an exemption for the software industry so that they don't have to pay their workers overtime, hence why many developers have offices there so they can abuse their workers with 16-hour days and 7-day workweeks for months on end with no overtime pay.

t. Lived the nightmare.

I hope it never happens and I loved mgr:r

>The city, mountains, forests, wealthy neighborhoods, suburbs and shitty ghettos are all within a couple of hours driving distance.

There are plenty of cities in America which fit this description, even the city I live in fits and it's not even in America. This sounds an awful lot like post rationalization and brings up the question of why they didn't use another city that fit the description.

Even in your own post, you write that Hollywood are hedonists, so is it any surprise they would set up camp right next to the Mexican border?

>working overtime for free

I'm sure that's one very big reason. So what prevents the Games Industry from being infected with the same degeneracy as Hollywood? Especially considering all the people desperate to make connections into Hollywood.

Metal Gear Rising: Survivengeance

now it's a wave hack'n'slash where Raiden lives in a parallel dimension to post-MGS4 era

>No platinum hack and slash with a pendulum soundtrack

Why?

>>14844355

>Survivengeance

Revengeance is a real word, though.

>>14841133

>No one cares about pachinko any more - all the cool kids are playing gachashit these days.

Are cool kids are either playing PUBG, if they have money, or Fortnite if they don't. So it would more likely be a spin-off of Survive(a spin-off of spin-off) called Metal Gear Survive Batle Royale.

>>14845825

Obviously if you reuse trash you get more trash. That doesn't mean reusing good quality code and assets isn't viable.

>>14850603

You need to look further back

It was in a paper dictionary, one from the 1900's, it only ever appeared in one book

The entire definition was "Revenge Vengeance".

Anybody got that image of kojima hitting a bong then coming up with the name?
