How dare you ! Kojima is genius, and stupid DmC haters are just that:STUPID if they think that MGR will be anything like DMC...
Um... I know this is a really bad time but, I don't like Kojima. He stated once in an interview that it was really hard writing stories that fit into the already existing story story, and that he didn't know how to fit them in. Which was why a lot of the things he wrote didn't make sense after the first Metal Gear Solid. I personally see that as an "admission of guilt". I can't find the article, but if I ever run into anything like that again, I'll post it here. I doubt that will happen though. Articles tend to get buried.
As for the release date, I think that those in charge (not Kojima, whoever was in charge of the release date) deliberately moved their date to coincide with DmC's. Because when DmC wanted to release in late 2012, they moved their release date to late 2012, as well. And when NT moved their release to early 2013, they moved their release date once again.
So yes, I do think that this is a conspiracy -- at least, in part.
Anyway TWOACROSS, what is it with you and tinfoil hat jokes? Do you not like conspiracy theorists? I admit, some people go overboard, but usually there is proof behind most conspiracies, if you're willing to look.

Actually, it is difficult to write a story the longer it goes on. That's just fact. The more content something has, the more of a challenge it becomes to keep it all together, and make sure things are consistent. I can totally vouch for that, myself. It's not really an admission of guilt so much as it's an admission of "this sh*t ain't easy" sometimes. Being an avid fan of Metal Gear, I can even say that what he did write was consistent, for the most part. It wasn't a narrative for everyone, being so convoluted, but for those who got it, it was a goddamn roller coaster.
Here's the funny thing though, about those release dates - when something is announced for :"late 2012" or whatever, that's not a definitive date set in stone. It's a projection released by the publisher, which gives a rough estimate of release, but isn't an official street date. Metal Gear Rising actually had a definitive release date before DmC's was unveiled, and in fact, MGR's was known for quite a while before DmC's was. If anything, DmC's date was pushed ahead so as not to compete with another action title. Similar things happen when no FPSs like to come out so close to Call of Duty's annual November releases
As for tinfoil hats, I just think that most conspiracy theorists are a little nutty. If there's truth to their claims, then they're no longer a conspiracy, or a theory, they're an actual problem to be addressed. A lot of the so-called "proof" in these matters is really just people using some college words to make things sound official - like the whole crap about the HAARP facility causing earthquakes by shooting super-heated microwaves that bounce off the atmosphere. Anyone who knows anything about science knows you can't "super-heat" a "microwave" :/ And a lot of things that people say are responsible for societal ills aren't as a sensationalized as is believed. The larger something is, the more difficult it is to contain, and keep a secret, but that doesn't mean it exists, if these "secret" societies really are running the show, they're doing a ****-poor job of keeping themselves secret, and containing information breaches.
The only reason most conspiracy theories thrive now is because the internet gives them a platform, and people to listen to them and perpetuate the theory.
Most of theories are proven false over time anyway, but they just keep coming back. Take a look at the history of the Nibiru theories, a planet that was supposed to collide with Earth, first back in May of 2003, then the date was changed to align with all the 2012 doomsday bullshit. Scientists even disproved it that by this point, if something was heading toward us, we would be able to visibly see it in the sky
BUT! I DIGRESS. Maybe ignorance is bliss, but I'd rather focus on happy thoughts, like starting a family, and...puppies. but not starting a family with puppies, that'd just be gross.

None the less, wether he thinks it is hard or not, Kojima has told some epic stories. So you don't like him just because he thinks it's hard? Or is it that he stated it once in an interview? Why do you dislike him for it?

Nah no conspiracy, its just good business strategy to take advantage of an enemy slip-up. Capcom couldn't present the reboot in a way that made a lot of the fans like it so a lot of fans left and other companies tried to take advantage of it.
Konami did with Castlevania and Team ninja tried with NG3(it failed). And they tried to present Revengeance in a way that pacifies all the fears fans had with DmC.
its just good business tactics.

I dunno why but the DmC haters are the reasons why my hype for that game is gone. It's like whenever a DmC video come, they ALWAYS gotta bring this up, comparing it to DmC.
IMO MGR got nothin' on DmC!
