[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63944, member: 1"] Hideo Kojima left Konami and the Metal Gear series he created nine years ago, but for the person now producing the franchise it would be a “dream” to have the legendary developer back in the fold. As reported by [URL='https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/konami-producer-says-it-would-be-the-dream-for-kojima-to-return-to-metal-gear/']VGC[/URL], Konami’s Metal Gear series producer Noriaki Okamura said on a recent livestream published to [URL='https://youtu.be/mXoV47YGV70?feature=shared']YouTube[/URL] that, personally speaking, he’d love to work with Kojima again on Metal Gear. “But just speaking for myself, personally, I’d like nothing better than to work with Mr. Kojima and the rest of the team again,” Okamura said. "If that could happen, that would be the dream. “But people have moved on to new things and new commitments, and that’s just our current reality.
