Ninja Theory replacing Hideo Kojima as Lead Developer of Metal Gear Solid series

Tameem to lead new metal gear solid

Metal Gear Solid, an action game with a story that’s as thin as Taylor Swift’s ass, is going to get a huge improvement. The development team that brought you DmC: Devil May Cry has told us that Tameem Antoniades will be taking the place of the late Hideo Kojima.

“We needed a young experienced developer who understands what’s acceptable, and what’s not in todays society.” said CEO of Konami; Takuya Kozuki. “We needed someone who was willing to create a faithful adaptation to the Metal Gear Solid franchise. It was clear from their masterful performance on DmC: Devil May Cry, That Ninja Theory is the best developer for this type of project.” Ninja Theory has also told us that Metal Gear Solid 6: From Two Phantoms will take place after MGS4 with Snake being much more refined in both design and how he acts.

Ninja Theory is determined to to put a more modern spin on Metal Gear Solid 6: From Two Phantoms, with proud ass kicking female companions and gameplay made more accessible.

The gameplay is a more realistic take on the Metal Gear Solid formula. Taking away such things as cardboard boxes and Cyborg Ninja’s and replacing them with a more intuitive and immersive mechanics for today’s common gamer. “No one wants this dumb shit anymore, they want characters that female gamers can relate too.” said Rahni Tucker. “We’re making Metal Gear Solid 6: From Two Phantoms for the players, not the gamers.” A bold move, but one worth taking.

“For all the praise we get, we do admit that DmC: Devil May Cry is by no means the perfect game.” said Tameem Antoniades; “Our female representation was laughable, so we’ve taken this serious feedback and used it to improve ourselves as game developers.” In the end it all boils down to NInja Theory’s creative eye – and looking at the results, I think it’s safe to say they’re doing a good job.

  1. Wait wait wait…… “Taking away such things as cardboard boxes and Cyborg Ninja’s and replacing them with a more intuitive and immersive mechanics for today’s common gamer.”

    No card board boxes… NO Cyborg Ninja’s? Common Gamer?

    That’s it I am following Kojima to Sony. It is a very sad sad day for MGS!

  2. “Metal Gear Solid, an action game with a story that’s as thin as Taylor Swift’s ass”

    Hydra: Well Taylor Swifts ass IS very thin. Look at it! there’s nothing there at all.

  4. MGS is deader than dead now, good job Konami.

    Why do people keep employing Ninja Theory? They’ve yet to even make a single good game, they should’ve closed 5 years ago.

  5. >people believe this article is real
    wew

  6. I honestly hope this is sarcasm.

    I really really hope this is a (really bad) joke. Seen MGS series in this state is making me very sad.

  9. I sincerely hope Konami is joking. PC bullshit isn’t what people want or need. You’re simply pandering to a group of intellectually inferior individuals that dislike things because…feelings. To be honest, I never thought that Konami would be stupid enough that they’d completely destroy the ONE I.P people still have faith for their company with. But unfortunately, these are the idiots that were dumb enough to shoot themselves in the foot with the Kojima beef and then the chop of the entire leg with the crappy treatment of their employees. Yeah, this company is definitely going bankrupt soon. Well, that’s what I hope, anyways.

    Taking away such things as cardboard boxes and Cyborg Ninja’s and replacing them with a more intuitive and immersive mechanics for today’s common gamer. “No one wants this dumb shit anymore,”
    what more intuitive and immersive mechanics ? like add more Arabs as villains ? putting MSG world parallel to this real world agenda ? ow, yea, DLCs not to forget that one too,
    If this was real, the good thing is Kojima can at least claim the box back for his new game, the bad side is the box is what makes MGS as is, with out ridiculous things like that, the game would be just another Tom Clancy wanna be, Konami just had to stop making MGS, if they want to remove Kojima’s shadow within their games in the future,

  11. This has to be marked more clearly as satire.

  12. Ya there goes the series last mgs game I play or recommend

  13. Please tell me this is fake, The cardboard box is something that makes MGS so iconic. One of the main things people think when they hear MGS is that cardboard box. If this is real Konami has pretty much just dug their own grave. They have made so many dumb decisions in the past year they are probably going to need a miracle to bring them back. One more really bad decision and their done. They need a string of good ideas and good games to bring them back. A string that I don’t think they are going to get. Not with news like this.

    we need survival mode and text chat in meal gear online!!!!! you make MGO SO BORED!! you destroyed our child game!

  15. Ok….. Mr. Tomas dick in …. This article is simply insulting to all MGS fans… There is no videogame with a heavier and deeper story line and plot than the MGS series… These games are f;”;”;,novels. Not only in the way they deal with its characters background, but because of its history related plot. MGS games are not like call of duty or battlefield, you don’t take the role of a mindless soldier shooting everything that moves… These games even have a philosophy…. Many have tried to copy this game (splinter cell and his uncle Sam fisher) but they couldn’t beat the cinema like cut scenes portrayed in MG’s and the immense amount of information they provide…. You say DMC?,that’s the most shallow and nonsense made for teenagers game in history… A guy surfing missiles…. Please… That’s stupid.the article.is stupid.And no it didn’t. Make me laugh.

  16. Wow….

    Taking away such things as cardboard boxes and Cyborg Ninja’s and replacing them with a more intuitive and immersive mechanics for today’s common gamer. “No one wants this dumb shit anymore,” WTF That is the stuff that makes the whole series iconic this must be some bullshit and a storyline story that’s as thin as Taylor Swift’s ass really the whole game series is basically like a novel get your shit together thomas dickins

  18. Not “the late Hideo Kojima” he’s still alive.

  19. Let me say I have played MGS since I was a kid and to see these assholes say that cardboard boxes and cyborg ninjas are dumb just pisses me tf off!!!It is these very things that make MGS better than most other games in this genre as they have been part of the game from the beginning.If this is the direction MGS is taking then as far as I’m concerned the whole series ended in MGS4!!!Fuck konami and fuck ninja concept!!!

  20. Ninja Theory and Metal Gear Solid…I’d like to see that. If Kojima isn’t going to be involved in the next MGS game, then it would be interesting to see a new take by the makers of “Heavenly Sword” and “Enslaved”. Besides, it would still be better than if Capcom were behind the new game (Resident Evil, I weep for you…)
