Obviously we’re not allowed neat things, so the game was cancelled. Hideo Kojima and Konami seemingly fell out in a big way, with the auteur’s name being scrubbed from box art for Metal Gear Solid V and him not being allowed to collect an award, partly as punishment for P.T., a sneaky Silent Hills demo that has gone down in horror legend and was also scrubbed from the PlayStation Store.
