I would've been more impressed if it was Kaz Hirai.

That logo is crazy good. Digging the beard as well. He should keep that!

Fantastic to see Kojima moving on so quickly. Hopefully this celebration remains Fanboy free and we celebrate this for the fact that he's free from Konami rather than it being a console exclusive.

It's an x-ray of a skull in some kind of future spartan helmet.
by the time this is even close to coming out, we will be talking about PS5 here. He literally just started a studio, I can't see him releasing an apparently big game in like 3 years while starting from zero just now. more like 4-5...
A similar example is tango, it was formed by Mikami in 2009 then they were acquired by zenimax, then they released their first title in 2014. I'm not expecting kojipro to be even as efficient lol.
Skullface is getting his own game.

Either they officially announce it now, or it's just going to leak. Nikkei already reported on it this morning.

I made a joke about this happening on my Facebook....didn't think it would literally be this soon. Holy shit.
IKR? Sony using some of that NASA tech to get shit done.
its increasing slowly ;_;
Oh shit he's evolving!
On topic, it's great to see Kojima already on the path to making incredible games once more!
Fixed.

Welcome back Kojima!
To be fair Devil's Third got fucked by THQ imploding rather than the game being fundamentally broken as an idea.

This NEEDS to happen. I'm actually pretty excited that this is at least possible now and I haven't really cared for the man's stuff in some time. Some kind of Kojima horror, at least.

Oh so they own the IP? Weird to see Kojima get himself in that situation after the Konami fiasco.
Sony getting more open to release their game on PC then MS is kind of funny. Looks like Helldivers and Everybody gone to the Rapture won't be exception. Now to see if it's an AAA game.

You guys are crazy if you don't think he's making the next Demon's Souls or MGS for PS4. It's now a hand-shaken deal. All that awaits is for Kojima to provide the golden cattle
He's probably thought up a million games while working at Konami, he's probably got at least 2 or 3 franchises he wants to start. And he's going to pick the best one, and Sony will be fully behind it, and he knows this
Anyone skeptical about a megaton can kindly go to the OT forum (kidding) but this is big
No, he's shown himself a corporate player, someone who caters to the Big Money.
They will allow him to do his Big Vision, so long as they think it will make them money.
Kojima has always been in a situation where he doesn't own the IP.... now he makes probably bigger bucks and gets the same freedom he had before... what's so surprising?

Awesome. This new IP might actually make me buy a PS4 if it looks good.

When they had a chance? When did anybody have a chance at buying any franchise from Konami? Konami has pachinko machines to make. No guarantee Xbox would have got it over a Japanese company anyway.

Damn, pretty much confirms most of the rumors surrounding the bullshit inside Konami.
Sony could perform oral sex to game buyers of Japan and this is still not going to happen. That market is on life support.
They did use console exclusive. Though personally everyone would be better off not thinking a PC release is guaranteed.

Well shit, Kojima can finally make something new. Glad for him he is finally abke to let go of MGS.

I'm really happy he's not tied to Metal Gear anymore. It's clear that Kojima has been ready to move on for a long time now.

well they wouldn't say console exclusive if it was a ps4 exclusive lol

Sony is funding this project, and it's also coming to PC.
Therefore, better PC support than Microsoft.
Its significant because Kojima is a god of game development ,but it has no real impact for the foreseeable future.
Idk.
