Sony doesn't own Street fighter. Capcom does. The money sony paid for SF was enough to keep it off X1. Where as the Psnation article says "completely funded, published, and owned by Sony upon release". Why would Sony fully fund and publish a big Kojima made game on PC? Besides Nikkie is more reliable so timed exclusivity is more likely with sony providing a small amount of the funding.

This does make the most sense to me, but I won't be surprised if it ends up being true too. That could be interesting where sony and PC exclusives are a thing.

Probably a street fighter 5 thing. ALl of this is speculation at best but its a good thing since Kojima and Sony would benefit in general from a PC/Console release vastly compared to a single platform release.

More $$$

More games

Sony are not completely funding SFV afaik, and Capcom are themselves a publisher. Kojipro 2.0 would be a completely different scenario.

Rapture is coming to Steam? Source for the confirmation?

there is no "confirmation" per say, it's just the cat got out of the bag

That would be a terrible fit.

Would probably result in Kojima making the Lasut of his games.

The Nikkei article doesn't tell the whole story I feel, as it doesn't state who is going to be the publisher for Kojima's new studio, it just says Kojima is negotiating with Sony on whether it will go to Sony's platforms first or not. But big games don't pay for themselves. If negotiating for platforms is already under way then the publisher must already be known.

I thought my "best times" were behind me.

I truly believed nothing could match the Wii/PS3/360 days, nothing.

Maybe I was wrong...

These early reports tend to be sparse on details. At least from the Nikkei.

Hopefully he realizes he's independent now and hops on the ue4 boat rather than banging his head against a wall developing a new engine.

Seriously! I couldn't imagine him or his team wanting their first order of business to start from step 1 and build a new engine.

Kojima would just throw a wrench into Platinum's low-budget-high-quality production cycle. It's not a good fit.
 
I wish Sony would quit if this "console debut" "first on Playstation", time exclusive bullshit, either you fund it or you live it alone, that's a shitty tactic.
