Kojima is back in the LA studio, here are some photos
Hideo Kojima is back in Los Angeles to visit the brand new Kojima Productions LA studio, and to attend meetings there. Here are some photos he took, accompanied by his own descriptions.
“LA studio.”
“Raining in LA.”
“Yoji’s painting hanging on the wall.”
“Supposed to become 3D scan room but ping pong play room for time being.”
“Placed the director’s chair from Mr. Miyata into my office.”
“Gift from Mr. Miyata for celebrating LA studio opening, director’s chair with my name on. Thank you very much.”
“I’ll take this chair to each meeting I attend.”
“Met with Julien in LA Studio.”

Kojima seems happy with the studio. Now all we need is an update on the actual development going on and I will be all set.
i want that painting!
FYI, that’s Julien Merceron who Konami just headhunted from Square Enix this month to be its new “worldwide technology director.” I’m kind of surprised that Square Enix had any talent that Konami would want to steal, and I say that as a fan.

Thanks for the info!
