Konami Says There Are No Plans for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Story DLC
BY: BRANDON ORSELLI ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2015, 3:09 PM EDT @BRANDONORSELLI
We’ve learned there are currently no plans for story-based downloadable content for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
The news comes via Konami’s community manager for the franchise, Robert Allan Peeler. “I don’t have any particular story content to announce, no,” said Peeler when responding to a fan pondering if the game would receive story DLC.
It’s worth mentioning that Konami showed off new costumes and horse-related DLC for the game at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.
We’ll keep you guys posted.
Kojima the fukk up.
fakkit should have made the most hottest parts of the game FIRst as a frame work and then added his bullshyt filler in later. Seemed like the nikka was making it up as he went along.
Metal Gear Solid Composer Says Hideo Kojima Split from Konami Over Budget Issues [UPDATE]
BY: BRANDON ORSELLI ON JULY 31, 2015, 10:30 AM EDT @BRANDONORSELLI
[UPDATE]
We’ve gotten some folks writing in (including our source) saying that we’ve misquoted Rika Muranaka, and Muranaka has gone on to make a follow-up clarification saying her words are her own opinion, and may or may not be indicative of the current situation at Konami.
We’ve transcribed the most pertinent quote from her (which you can listen to as well), below:
Rika Muranaka: “His business sense, you know, isn’t there. He’s a creator and he doesn’t think about the money, or budget, anything like that. So he’ll continue to make, keep making, you know, game, you know, how he feels like making. He feels like this is complete – when it’s not complete, he keeps going, you know? And that’s just how he is. And the company can’t afford to have an employee like that. They need to be budget, they need to have a deadline, they need to have a recouping point. And Hideo doesn’t think like that.”
[Transcriber’s note: One of the interviewers began a question, but Muranaka continued.] Muranaka: He just wants to make – create. Whatever he feels like creating.
A later clarification was issued by Muranaka, in which she claimed articles (like our own) were published based solely on speculation, and not on fact, and that her words were not the reason for Kojima’s “soon departure from Konami.”
She also pointed out that “Konami, on the other hand, is a business that is focused on budget and profit. So I simply expressed that maybe that has something to do with it. But never did I say that either Kojima or Konami is at fault. The truth of the matter is that I don’t know why he’s leaving, and therefore I don’t have an answer.”
Hopefully we’ll find out the truth of the matter after Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Painships on September 1st.
[ORIGINAL STORY]
We’ve potentially learned the real cause of the ongoing fallout between Konami, Hideo Kojima, and his rumored to be now-disbanded Kojima Productions development studio.
The news comes via series composer/music coordinator Rika Muranaka (Editor’s note: She worked on Metal Gear Solid 1-3), who did an interview with Fragged Nation. In the interview, Muranaka talked about the controversy surrounding Kojima and Konami.
According to Muranaka, the main reason for the split between Konami and Kojima is Kojima’s remuneration coming in the form of a salary, as he does not receive anything from game sales or profits.
She went on to say that with Kojima taking only taking a salary and focusing on the game instead, the project was over-budget and late.
With those factors taken into account, Konami’s irritation came in with how the project was late. Kojima didn’t seem to care and he had many expenses such as upgrading the Fox Engine, where he used the argument that the engine wasn’t finished as an excuse to further delay the project.
During this time Kojima continued to get a salary and like a traditional Japanese salaryman, he did not receive a share of the profits. Konami seemed dissatisfied with the arrangement. During this time Kojima was a creator and though his games were hits, he didn’t get bonuses.
In her eyes, Hideo Kojima is a fantastic creator, perhaps one of the greatest of our time. However, he didn’t have the business sense that Konami hoped for.
An example was given where many would try to lower foliage resolution below what Kojima wanted, as much as possible, to finish up the work’s appearance properly. She also went on to say that she’d get requests to make 30 or 40 songs, and at the end the majority weren’t used.
Kojima would ask her to make one more, or another, or another. He’d pick ones that he liked, or things the fans wanted to see, or things the fans wanted to hear. And so with that precise understanding, the music was prepared by Muranaka.
When it comes to music, she has directly worked with Kojima and has insight into the internal affairs of the company.
In her opinion, the music in Metal Gear Solid V has suffered due to them not being able to afford her. They removed her from the equation and went to where the composers were, and hired them directly.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is launching across PlayStation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on September 1st. A Windows version is coming later, on September 15th.

And if I had to rank them it would be as follows:
Tier 1:
MGS1
MGS4 (Game will always be near and dear to my heart. I still play it for nostalgia overload. return to shadow moses
really need this on PS4)MGSV: TPP(Had this had the complete story, it would be tier 0)
Tier 2:
MGS3 (I probably need to go back and play this, I'd probably rank it higher but, I did not like the jungle setting at the time. Or playing as big boss)
MGS2
MG2
Tier 3:
Peace Walker (only because it was on vita, had this been a ps3 exclusive it would have been MUCH better off)
MGSV:GZ (Would have been better off if it remained apart of TPP, good prologue tho)
Tier 4:
Portable Ops
MG1 (Time hasn't been kind to this one. Can't even crawl )

peace walker was ported to PS3 in HD as part of the MGS collection. I have it on both systems, and yes it's obviously MUCH better on PS3.
yea , I played it on PS3, but I meant built for the ps3, like MGS4.
