Death Stranding - Hideous Kojumbo does it again

The bandana is obviously an homage but probably won't get him in trouble. The mech head however looks A LOT like Sehalanthrapus Or even Rex.
Oh I know. I'm talking out my ass with this fairy tale. But it would be nice to see Kojima publicly take it up the ass from Konami.
Kojima cultists say this every time, as if having hundreds of millions of dollars a 5+ years of development time is clearly not enough.

It feels like Kojima fancies himself a David Lynch, but seems to miss the most important parts of being a David Lynch which is keeping your shit cheap and not constantly sucking corporate cock.
Blame is never put on him, when he's always the problem. When this was sells abysmally, it'll be the start of the #fucksony crowd.

REX's head as a single piece isn't specific enough, many other games feature similar design shape.
A video game character that's a soldier in a brown / grey uniform with with a bandana can't really be mistaken for anyone else though...

Konami is probably so bored of Kojima that they'll let it slide.
 
I heard this game was pretty shit. I know the Sony fan fags made a big deal out of it. It's essentially a package delivery sim with some kind of orange man bad messaging mixed in. It also proved that Kojima can't make a good game without the rest of the team at Konami and the higher ups at Komani cracking the whip.
 
Oh no not them again.

I have hated them SO FUCKING MUCH since they were shilling Dragon's Dogma 2.

I remember waaaaay back in the day I used to enjoy their Youtube channel because they brought some obscure trivia about Capcom games to light. Since then? First finding out from the Farms they were actually a transgender, then them being a DD2 shill, now this.
"them" Bro, we dont shame here. You can call that thing a he, a faggot or a tranny.

Did you also know it was in porn and has aids?

Can they even sue when Snake is entirely based around Snake Pliskin?
I just don't get the anti gun message paired with an anti globalism message. I'm probably misinterpreting it because I skimmed through that trailer pretty fast. I'm not really feeling it
I haven't watched the trailer (might play the game), but I find it unlikely to be anti globalism since the first game was entirely pro globalism. In the first you literally go from town to town to persuade them to connect to the internet and thus be a part of the new USA.
 
I knew about the porn part. I did not know about the AIDS part. :cryblood:

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL GODDAMN CHRIST.

I want to call for a jihad on that freak but knowing their own body will destroy itself is more pain than I could ever possibly inflict on them.

They said the same thing about why MGSV was an unfinished mess of a game because "Konami didn't give Kojima enough time to finish the game" even tho he had at least 5+ years to make the game.
The whole development seemed like it was mismanaged after a certain point. I remember reading somewhere that Kojima discarded about 30 songs and other assets for the final game because he didn't liked them or had troubles with them, but never gave a reason why.

That only happened with mgsv amd thats because of the Bunnhop video which was pretty much the only official word on the events. Obviously having played mgsv its clear its time was squandered it took twice as long to make a version of peace walker with 90% of the variety missing and most of its mechanics botched. Like why even have the weapons developement and motherbase systems if enemies dont gain increased stats throughout the game? the starting tranq pistol still 1 shots every enemy in the game even with leg shots. Why waste so much money on keifer if the price means he cant even speak? Especially when the Jap version didnt chang his voice.

Also there's something a bit delusional about people who shit on Kojima anytime he's mentioned, where's the boogeyman? Because its always people calling him a hack, like where's the people who are supposedly blaming Sony for the game's failure if "nobody bought the game"? These are contradictory narratives and they both sound made up.

I dunno... that's pretty on the nose. That might constitute ip infringement in the right court.

Similar product for similar market with potential confusion among the audience is how it goes IIRC.
If I were a lawyer, I'd pick the MGS to DS II case regarding Snake more than Escape from NY to MGS as there are more overlaps, they're both video games and the target demo are fans of Kojima among other things.

In the right court, perhaps. but take into consideration the average old fart overlooking the hypothetical case, what's he going to think of mecha A and mecha B designed by the same guy? My guy just wants to retire.

REX isn't so complex that its head or proportion couldn't be replicated by accident. You could just look up the same things that influenced Yoji Shinkawa. It's a big mecha-chicken after all.
The two together, with its signature railgun and radome, then it'd be another story.
Kojima and his team are pushing it just enough to generate hype without being so flagrant that they'd get slammed for it. Guess they learned from their Sviridov mistake

The Snake look alike is named Die Toiletman and you'll be forced to watch him stick a live squid up his ass which is a metaphor for Trump cutting foreign aid.

You just don't get it man, it's deep or something.

Spent a career ripping off others that it was a matter of time that he ripped himself off.
I imagine its more of wanting to reclaim his own work similar to how Dark Souls borrowed heavily from Demons' Souls because FromSoft at the time had bad blood with Sony for mishandling the localization of DeS.

Which may be the case, yet he's made it evident he was sick of MGS but he still wants to inject member berries in everything.
Maybe you should send a strongly worded letter to the artist who is involved in both projects.

Yes, Kojimbo had no input over the design.
Yoji Shinkawa is the artist who has been involved with both projects, designing Rex and a great deal of the Death Stranding related things. You're raging at someone for ripping off and stealing a design they themselves created. Kojima approved the design, he didn't make it himself.
Still sore I had you gaping wide weeks ago, are we?
Lmao, what.
