So long

Description

So yeah. The Phantom Pain is finally here. Actually my copy was delivered on Saturday at home. Which is 350km away from where I am right now. So here starts the longest game of hide-and-seek from spoilers of my life.

Anyway originally I wanted to post the previous one on the release day. But I just couldn't wait so I said 'F%ck it I'll post it now'. Then came the trailer from last week. And it made me a bit sad. Which was kinda unexpected for me. So I felt like making something out of it. I'm quite happy with the head and the hand, though I got bored with the suit...

This is Kojima's final MGS game ! I mean I'm no fanboy of his, he can be a bit pretentious and full of himself, but his talent and style are undeniable. And the thing I'll always respect is that the man has wanted to quit the franchise since MGS2. That's why MGS2 was such a "F%ck you" to the fans expecting a generic sequel. It was a whole deconstruction of the concept of a sequel. And despite the fact he had no desire to continue, he gave his all to the following titles.
The series is a great example of a franchise that managed to always bring something new. No two games play the same, yet all of them are arguably great. And yet, with how big these games got, he still managed to instill his own style into the mix and themes that are always dear to his heart. His love for movies obviously, but some other stuff like the recurring theme of fatherhood (btw check out the article about the ending of MGS on gamesradar, it is awesome and eye-opening regarding this theme).

Besides, how awesome is it to make an entire franchise with an anti-war message by having the greatest soldiers in the world going about their missions by sneaking around without killing ?

So yeah. Thank you Mr.Kojima for your devotion. You're finally free ! Go have fun creating something new. I know I'll be looking forward to it.

EDIT : Tweaked the eye and the Fox logo. Which is literally not even 10 pixels. Was it worth it ? Probably but not. Meh.

Quelle qualité de dingue !
Contours, couleurs et détails sont croquants !

J'ai très envie de jouer à cette série, il faudra que je me penche dessus.
