Ryan Payton leaves Kojima Productions, hints MGS5

Krunal | August 26, 2008 | Interview | Playstation 3

In an interview with Kotaku, the former Assistant Producer, Ryan Payton gives us his reasons for leaving the company, and ends the interview saying how he'll be sad that he can't be part of Metal Gear Solid 5. Seems like he may have just let something slip there...

"It'll be hard not being involved in MGS5, but I've got the utmost confidence that Hideo Kojima, Ken Imaizumi, and our amazing team will put together another blockbuster game. I'll be cheering from the sidelines."

If they announce Metal Gear Solid 5, as in, a fully fledged sequal to MGS4, I'll die a little inside...

What the hell? Who'll host the podcast? =/

Ah well, best of luck wherever else he goes. He managed to handle the whole MGS4 fiasco nicely, and he was a good guy, managed to make the Podcast really entertaining.
