I thought it was pretty obvious since he's no longer working at Konami.

I too don't think that Zombies and Metal Gear go well together man what was Konami thinking that just by adding Zombies they can increase profits tenfold.

everyone already knew Kojima has no involvement, but yeah the Zombie concept for a Metal Gear game is pretty stupid

I don't expect it to be a good game or to work well in the Metal Gear franchise either, but we all know there's people who will buy it regardless. The sad part is it probably will sell decently. |

Given the weirdness of the Metal Gear series I don't think Zombies are -that- out of place. We've already had a Vampire, Ghosts, a guy who controls electricity, two Cyborg Ninjas and rampant abuse of Nano-Machines (son) (given I haven't played 4, 5 or any spin-offs I'm sure there's plenty more.)
I'm not saying this isn't a transparent cash-grab by Konami trying to ride the Zombies craze but Kojima doesn't have much ground to stand on in terms of what does and doesn't fit into the Metal Gear Universe. |

If Metal Gear as headed by Kojima was allowed to continue an ad nauseum spectrum of story spieling, Zombies would EVENTUALLY become a thing in some form. The issue with this version of zombies is that the promo material was ham fisted to create a blatant level of excuse plot for a multiplayer survive game that by this point in time has been overly done that gamers frankly find the concept as boring without some sort of refreshing spin. |

It's pretty clear that this had to happen now that Kojima is out of Konami's league.
And I have no idea why would there be zombies in Metal Gear Survive. |

I guess Kojima forgot about the Skulls, unless parasite-possessed humans don't count as zombies. Though given all the other supernatural stuff, that complaint seems hypocritical.

Frankly he burned that bridge before the messy firing. What every he has to say on Metal Gear at this point is moot, he has no effect in the direction for it. |

Actually, if someone is confirming that they in fact are NOT working on a project in any form, then expressing such a context is valid. |

Agreed. Konami obviously wants to make use of one of the few things they have with name recognition, but it's not like there isn't plenty of weirdness in the series, including some very zombie-like enemies in MGS5. Plus, I would guess the response for Konami would be that it's in an alternate dimension, so it wouldn't have to fit the Metal Gear mold. |

I don't how that's sad unless you hate the idea of people who make something not getting credit for their work i.e. the developers and staff making the game.
He burned this "alleged" bridge how? Secondly he wasn't fired even Konami themselves didn't come out and state that. |

It sounds as though Kojima and Shinkawa are just commenting on things they've heard and have not actually seen much of the game itself.
The first Survive trailer hints at a Metal Gear appearance. I think what Kojima might've meant is that Metal Gear's theme is not about a zombie survival fest, but about espionage. So maybe it's not as though zombies of a sort can't occur in the world, but that zombies would serve the theme of espionage, and also that the world of MGS would reflect a modern day atmosphere, it would not be a post-apocalyptic setting where the entire world is infested with zombies. At least that's what I'd gather, not that Metal Gear doesn't have supernatural things. |

He's lamenting over a number of possible subjects:
They're out of ideas. Simple as that. |

^ The irony in that observation though is Kojima was working on a new Silent Hill game which would've fell into that rut you're talking about had it been released.
