this is not confirmed or true, game had 50 missions on the drawing board.
He sure knows nothing of the games or cares, but game is not cut, sure, some stuff is reworked or removed such as Ocelot as buddy, but Kojima initially had 50 missions in plan for MGSV

And where does that magic 50 number come from?

Ask Kojima, he made the list

It isn't a 100% litteral. It is not that he was "locked" in the room. He was housed in a seperate studio and was not given clearance to enter his own game studio.

So he was directing devlopment through middle management.
Even then - he did a fantastic job without direct hands on contact with the game.

No I'm asking, where did you get that list?

[No_Quarter]

I didn't get it, I've found info from mission designer, his approximate word were that at first he was surprised how it is going to play out, but later on he got what was the point.
You can look for the whole interview if you are interested, shouldn't be too hard

at least it is a number, a so called "mission 51" does not even have a number, everyone just assumed it was a mission and not just a cutscene and gave it a number

Kojima is one of those directors who gets intimate with his game. To him it's this incredible piece of art that he and his team put their blood sweat and tears into. For Konami to bar him from his team is like breaking an artist's paint brush and easel and saying paint damn you.

Even when the facts come from the guy who made the game?
