14 DAY TRIAL // Hideo Kojima is a legendary game creator and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is probably the title that he invested the most in during the development process, as a new video delivered by his production company and Konami shows.
The game maker talks about the importance of the series and the way it has evolved over the past few years and he explains that the most recent release would not have been possible without all the support delivered by the loyal fan base.
The video also features voice actor Troy Baker, as well as a fan who died of cancer in February of this year and was made an honorary member of the development team by Hideo Kojima.
The game creator has also made a role for himself in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, with gamers able to recruit him as a worker for Mother Base.
The in-game version of Hideo Kojima is specialized in Intelligence, has an A+ rating when it comes to Research & Development, and can only be recruited if gamers saved him during a special side quest in the Ground Zeroes prequel.
Kojima was also present in the previous installment in the series, but only in the opening cinematic sequence.
At the moment, the developer has not said what he plans to do with his career following his coming split with Konami.
Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain has some technical issues
Konami has already said that it is aware of the connection issues that are affecting the title and it has reduced availability for some features to compensate.
A day-one patch for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain has also been launched soon after the title became available.
The experience is designed to wrap up many of the narrative threads of the series and implements an open-world structure for the first time in the history of the franchise.
Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain arrived at the same time on the PC, the Xbox One, and the PlayStation 4.
An Online version of the title will be offered for home consoles later in the fall, allowing gamers to directly compete with each other.
