Taking place nine years after the events of Ground Zeroes, The Phantom Pain once again puts players in control of Big Boss as he awakens from a devastating coma brought on by an attack that wiped out his regiment. Fans will no doubt be sad to see Kojima go, but if we see that end with The Phantom Pain, then consider it the crowning jewel that stands atop the rigid structure the creative director has built over the past 30 years. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain appears to be the end of that legacy, and the moment is bittersweet. In spite of that, Hideo Kojima has managed to fashion himself as the definitive creative voice behind the storied Metal Gear franchise, an influential and visionary designer who lent his characteristic spin to every project he headed. Big budget releases demand huge amounts of time and resources, with teams of staggering size that diminish the importance of any one person. There’s not much room for auteurs in gaming.
