The below video may seem like a goodbye, but Hideo Kojima is clearly confident in what he's accomplished with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The miniature documentary lasts around ten minutes, and covers many angles of the newly released blockbuster as well as Kojima's involvement with it.
It's also got some pretty big names lending their thoughts to the proceedings. We hear from the one and only Geoff Keighley, the ever enthusiastic Greg Miller, and voice actor Troy Baker just to name a few, and it all culminates in a rather heartfelt visit to a fan's home.
Near the end of the video, Kojima thanks you lot for your support, stating that his "energy comes from the players". You've certainly done us proud over the years Kojima, and we frankly can't wait to see what you do next.

I'm sad that i didn't get to feel what you guys are feeling now while playing and finishing a video game saga ... because i have missed out on this franchise ..this is a bad year for me with the likes of fallout, the witcher and uncharted because i didn't play the pervious installments so i won't get that nostalgia feeling
No, the thanks goes to Hideo Kojima. In many ways his games have defined the PlayStation experience for me. MGS 3 still ranks as my favorite game of all-time with my favorite ending of all-time. I'm looking forward to finally sitting down today and getting a chance to really get into MGS V, hopefully it is actually send off he and the series deserves. It's too bad we won't be getting anymore games like this, thanks to corporate scum, but on the plus side, it doesn't seem like Kojima is done so whatever lies ahead, I certainly look forward to it.
The feels doe
Very touching tribute to a visionary of the industry. However I have to wait til Monday to get my hands on MGS5. It's Ground Zeroes until then.
Visionary genius...and Wonderful, warm, humble human being,mgs coming to end is sad for me(and many many others) as its been part of my gaming life since ps1,but im also so excited to see what he comes up with for his next project..Thank you hideo.
I thought it was a bit odd and pointless apart from the final report, no doubt the game will be great. Would be nice to get a collection but I don't see it happening.
Thanks Kojima. You put your work in and made amazing games. I'll no doubt enjoy Phantom Pain whenever I get it.
Thank you Kojima for all the great times so far and hopefully there'll be more to come PT2? (Konami don't want it).
I've never played more than a few hours each of MGS3 Snake Eater, MGS4, MGS Twin Snakes and MGSV Ground Zeroes. I have Peacewalker but never played it.
Every single one of them gave me problems and I gave up within a few hours of trying and failing- except for Ground Zeroes which I did beat, albeit with much coaching from my brother. I don't know what it is about stealth games that I just can't seem to grasp, but Splinter Cell Blacklist was the same way- I couldn't even beat the tutorial on the easiest difficulty! But then all of a sudden right before I was about to turn the game off, I beat it, and it just sort of clicked. I went on to beat the game and it's one of my favorites of 2013.
So I bought this game with the hopes that it too will finally "click". My brother is the biggest diehard Metal Gear Solid fanboy and has been preaching to me to play these games for years. So I'm giving it another go. I just got the game and watched the intro cut scene (The one before the game menu comes on the first time).
Is David Hayter in the video?
@JaxonH Same here man, I usually suck big time at these "stealth" games.
However they look awesome and have a good story, so I keep on buying them, despite giving up after only a few hours.
