when was the last time Kojima had a pubic presence? he looks kinda awful in the video, must have been some rough months.
 
"Creating a new franchise with Playstation"? But console exclusive.

Seems like a similar deal to SFV, Kojima might have wanted to release the game on PC or maybe Sony is partially funding this. Interested to hear more details. Sony jumped on the occasion though, that was done in a day lol.

So badass.
 
looking like Punished Kojima with that beard.


If there is a god he will bring back on Junji and Del Toro to create their ultimate horror game.

That looks awesome for a studio logo :D!

This is great news that Sony stated this the moment they could; shows hope that his next project ends up being a great success and I can't wait to see its announcement.

Could see an update on this news with a teaser at E3 2016 and TGS 2016 being where he officially announces the project or something.

excellent news. exclusive whatever, I'm happy that he's making a new game. whatever criticisms leveled at his output (bad writing, imbalance of story:gameplay), his stuff always manages to keep me thoroughly entertained. what an ugly past few months regarding all this konami nonsense.

I really hope it won't be some Metal Gear-like game.
On the other hand I don't hope it'll be a military third or first person shooter either.

I'm am extremely happy though that Kojima is finally free from his shackles.
Konami is now free to die any time they want.

Have Konami officially stated anything regarding the end of his "vacation"? Or do they just not give a shit anymore?
 
The obvious step for him after he left Konami.

Are we assuming its a AAA title? I'd be surprised if it was AAA and Sony put it on PC too (if theyre the publisher)
 
E3 2015 had megatons. E3 2016 will enter a realm not of sight or sound, but of thought. I think we've just entered, the Kojima Zone.
