It is an extremely strange situation when a series comes to an end. Or, at least, a series as we know it. Metal Gear Solid has existed in various guises since 1998 with the original Metal Gear Solid on the original Playstation. The series has many hallmarks; brilliant gameplay, state of the art technology and over the top, full on nonsensical stories and plots. All of this is down the series lead; Hideo Kojima.
After an enormous falling out with the publisher, Konami, Kojima Productions was to shut down following the release of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. His name was scrubbed from press materials, removed from old box arts on the Konami website and the working conditions deteriorated drastically for him and his team. With the game finally out we are truly witnessing the end of an era.
