If is true, is really sad that things like this was happening in the development of LoS 2. But, I think that if a LoS 3 or a prequel were in development, then we were talking about real problems. I hope that Mercury Steam not disappear, like other companies, recent or old.
EDIT: But the situation inner MS, is the cause of the final product in LoS 2? That would be even sad.
- Kojima had little to nothing to do with the development of the first game, he came by, set a seal, visited the studio, signed some things and that was it. He had even less to do with Mirror of Fate and LoS2.
This is not new for me, as has being said, his name was only a hook to give a bigger expectation for the first LoS 1 (not in me, because I am not a fan of Kojima games). I remember that his major contribution was to change the face of the original Gabriel into the definitive one, am I wrong?
