>Tonight in Tokyo, Sony held its annual PlayStation Awards ceremony. Some of gaming’s most famous game developers gathered on stage to get awards for their games. Hideo Kojima did not.
>According to Yahoo! News Japan and Game Watch Impress, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain won two awards: the User’s Choice Award and the Platinum Prize. In the past, Hideo Kojima has been a regular at the PlayStation Awards when his games have won.
>While luminaries like Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii stood watching, the head of Konami PR took to the stage to receive the awards for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Why is this allowed?
>>318752884
>Brian Ashcraft
Wait a minute
Because he's in LA?
>>318752884
Neither of them should have gotten an award.
MGS V was fucking trash.
>>318752884
Because Konami own Kojima's ass?
They can do whatever the fuck they want
>I can't tell the difference between PR staff accepting an award on behalf of the developers and the PR staff being awarded an award
Kotaku never.
I guess this is why Hori decided to put DQ11 on 3DS.
>>318752884
Cause hes at the Game Award.
>>318753035
Actually its december, so they don't.
Hideos a free man
JUST
>>318752884
Because Kojima is in LA for the game awards you fucking idiot
woah
you can represent other people in their absence?
i never knew that!
Kojima is The Boss' grave.
This guy is Big Boss, but he happily shook everyone's hand.
>>318752884
Because Kojima was unable to attend so somebody accepted on behalf?
>>318753110
>>318753092
Wow. Kojima is actually supporting the sexist game award show that had 28 male judges and only 2 female judges?
Shameful.
>>318753272
What about Hideo?
>>318752884
whoa are you telling me that people can't be in japan and los angeles at the same time????
riveting journalism as always, kotaku shill
is it happening?
kotaku is back to being slowtaku?
>>318753328
He joined Tomokazu
>>318753254
damn...
>>318753280
No its ok, to show his support he will present the female judges with Quiet figures, with squishy breast action of course.
>>318752884
MGSV was made by more than 1 person
High quality journalism
gaming "journalism"
pathetic
>>318753518
you should see patrick topkek's article on the game awards
>le no women meme
>>318752884
Well, he can't be in Tokyo and LA at the same time.OR CAN HE???
>>318753105
KEK
>>318753675
>Next step
>No woman, no gay men, no lesbian and transgender to represent videa
>>318752968
i'd go with this because it's true. this isn't even news, kotaku knows he's in LA so why make stupid shit like going "huh but why isn't getting his Nippon award?"
>>318755042
SHIT
>>318752884
Kojima is at LA, Ashcraft is an Idiot
>>318752884
>getting any award at all for the disaster that is MGS V
Doesn't matter who got it. The fact anyone is retarded enough to award any person for the game is already a joke.
>>318752987
This
>>318752884
Fucking Konami. That's disgraceful to not let your developers take the award they worked hard for.
I'm tempted to say
>It's a ruse
but I won't
>>318752884
Because kojimbo didnt do shit fpr that game apart from waste money on hiring a whore to "voice act" for a character that doesnt speak
>>318756974
Kojima is in LA and Hideo is nowhere to be found.
>>318752884
Good. Kojima is an ass for cancelling Silent Hills.
>>318752884
fuck konami
Kojima's still on vacation, so of course the gracious, handsome, well-endowed head of Konami's world-famous Public Relations department would graciously accept it in his place.
Kojima will likely be back from his vacation soon- in the meantime, why not purchase some more MB coins for your Forward Operating Bases? Konami can't make back all the money Kojima spent through game sales alone!
>>318752987
Fucking this
>>318752884
it's their game and Kojima is kinda fired. Makes no sense for him to get the prize. It's a prize for MGS, not lifetime achievement prize for Kojima.
He's also somewhere in US right now, partying with his boys, readying for VGA.
>>318758913
Mediocre.
>>318753110
As if he would have chosen differently. He had to go and hang with his Hollywood friends.
>>318752987
this one more time
>>318752935
Filtered.
For anyone who doesn't know, these awards are based 100% on sales. Platinum award is awarded to games that shipped over a million in the year. Nothing to do with the quality of the game.
>>318759802
>>318758958
>>318756276
Okay Todd
>>318759971
fucking newfag
this thread is a mess
are you guys really that bored waiting for TGA?
>>318752987
Fuck this
>>318760490
>they don't like one shit game so they must like another shit game
Kojimadrones everyone.
>>318760795
not him but
>m-m-muh favourite tripfag!
kill yourselves, both of you
Unfinished games shouldn't be receiving awards
>>318761641
Except that it's not unfinished
When will you sheeple
FINALLY
WAKE
THE FUCK
UP
Do you REALLY believe Hideo and Kojima are the same person?
Horii knows this shit ain't right.
>>318752884
>you were stupid enough to pay full price for this game
>>318752884
Good, fuck Kojima. That lying hack didn't even finish his game after being given 5 years and $80 million.
>>318753280
If you ask for my honest opinion, I'd say that 28 to two is an actual ratio for people that really give a shit about video games. Not like that 50/50 bullshit they came up with when they wrote the statistic based on who has even touched a "video game" even once.
My sister is the only female i know that actually plays video games and gives half a shit about the culture of it. That's only because she grew up watching me play them for her whole life.
Still i see her interest shifting to boys and other things like a normal girl, and that's okay. Outside of tumblr, people aren't so up tight about their differences, and are willing to accept that maybe video games just aren't a hobby that a girl will typically hold on to.
Upset about the lack of women in the judges group? Why? They didn't judge any mobile games. I don't think they reviewed the sims.
I no rike this...
I no rike this at aru...
>>318761932
So, will this meme die?
>>318752987
This fuck
>>318762520
It would be extremely painful
>>318761932
So is that picture on the right the ONLY picture of Kojima?
I see this posted a lot, with plenty of pics of hideo, but only the one of horseface Kojima.
We're starting to doubt the credibility of your claim anon.
>>318762589
For xD
>>318756186
nice meme faglord :^)
>>318762589
>>318762520
ur a big guy!
>>318762613
>he doesn't know that Kojima has been in hiding for YEARS
Do you really believe MGS4 was made by the same people? WAKE UP SHEEPLE
Op you keep screencaping Kotaku shit and posting it here.
Fuck off.
>>318761595
I'm guessing you're a newfag for not having filtered him before.
Guess both of you are huge faggots.
>>318752987
MGS V: THE PHANTOM GAME
Unfinished...misses the whole point of open world games by having a barren landscape with little of interest.
But it has plenty of Quiet doing weird sexual shit. Hmmm.
>>318753272
Such a Lust for Awards!
>>318753105
>>318753917
>>318755042
>>318755329
>>318762232
we did it reddit!
>>318753280
probably about the same ratio of men vs women who made the games
>>318752884
Someone post that Kojima presentation where he spills mad amounts of spaghetti please, I can´t find it.
