You say that as if announcing it as a complete PS4 exclusive wouldn't have resulted in a mountain of salt and a sea of port-begging posts.

At least if it's indeed a PS4 exclusive, people would be more reluctant to post, as it'll be easier for mods to deliver the ban hammer wave.

 

[Gren]

I hope its a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid or a game like it.


I wouldnt mind if its a horror game like PT either.


Or a mech game...like Zone of the Enders n_n


I wonder what it would be like if they made a RPG as well.

Even though I play them at a glacial pace, I would like to see his (complete) take on the horror genre.

 

[evilr]

He looks terrible. I hope he's okay.

He has had a life changing circumstance after 25 years of peace. Anyone would not give a damn about shaving after that.

 

[Off-Kilter]

So what are the odds first game is ZoE spiritual successor?

Please, I can only get so erect in one day

 

[Shard]

Wasn't all of this pretty much expected to be happening for months now or at least the most logical outcome?

 

[FootballFan]

That grin on House is amazing. Priceless even.

I am extremely excited to see which ideas have been laying dormant for so long. Kojima must have loved Metal Gear, but now is his chance to go beyond.

 

[Baby Milo]

wow they wasted no time at all

 

[Bsigg12]

Wasn't all of this pretty much expected to be happening for months now or at least the most logical outcome?

Pretty much

 

[Mooreberg]

He just came out of a situation where he had a game come out on five platforms, only to get zero marketing support outside of release month. I would not be surprised if what he does next is a bit smaller in scope compared to MGS V, but pleasantly devoid of whatever bullshit he had to endure during that game's development. He would not be the first developer with name recognition to move to something less massive, and on fewer platforms. He pretty much has a clean slate and can do what he wants within the confines of whatever his anticipated completion date is. Hopefully, that is before the end of this generation.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Why do we have to blame people for port begging when Sony make such an ambiguous terms in the first place?
There won't be port begging if they have the guts to do what should've been done. Make it clear at the first place.

Hmmm...to me, the phrase: "console exclusive" is pretty clear. It means PS4 will be THE ONLY console it will be on. PC/mobile are the only other options at that point.

 

[Newtype-001]

O rlly now

There probably isnt even a single line of code and people already getting salty over a game none of us have any idea about.

Someone make a GIF of Andrew House fultoning Kojima from Konami HQ.

This the closest we get

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Wasn't all of this pretty much expected to be happening for months now or at least the most logical outcome?

There were some silly people claiming to have knowledge of Kojima actually going to MS.

But yes. It seemed the logical route.

 

[Doctor Ironic]

Is there a visual thing I'm not getting to the logo, or is it just something nonsensical that looks cool?

 

[Kindekuma]

Someone make a GIF of Andrew House fultoning Kojima from Konami HQ.

I mean, we do have this.

 

[brickarts295]

This YT comment is great XD

I imagine that the second the contract was terminated, Kojima said good bye and went to the roof, where Konami execs chased him, and Kojima ripped off his tie and stood at the edge, help up his arms and fell backwards as the Konami execs ran towards him yelling "KOJIMAAAAA!!!" and a Sony helicopter appears, Kojima holding onto a rope ladder underneath it, as they ride into the sunset. They get to the Sony building, Kojima walks in, and says "Kept you waiting, huh?"

 

[hemo memo]

Exclusive for the first game so Kojima studio own the IP?

 

[Keihart]

The whole website gives off a science fiction vibe, would be cool if that's the direction they are going.

When has kojima not being abot sci-fi
Kojima is all about sci-fi, wich i love.

 

[texhnolyze]

Hmmm...to me, the phrase: "console exclusive" is pretty clear. It means PS4 will be THE ONLY console it will be on. PC/mobile are the only other options at that point.

Some people wouldn't want to accept that, apparently.

 

[Neuro]

Great news I'd say...but kind of leaves me sad that Metal Gear is not going to be the same anymore after this...Ah well we all have to grow up someday, I'd reckon...

 

[DangerMouse]

Andrew house totally has that Japanese "ehhhhhh" down pat. His Japanese is so good!

Heh yeah

Jedi Mind Tricks CONFIRMED! <3

LOL

 

[Nameless]

Who will own the IP?

If Kojima, then I imagine it comes to PC (and he prolly does own it)

If Sony, then it won't (see Bloodborne)

The examples you gave Sony doesn't own the IP

This sounds like another Shenmue/NMS/Street Fighter type partnership where Sony will help with [some] funding, marketing, and technical support in exchange for console exclusivity, but doesn't make a stink about a PC release.

 

[RedRum]

This is great news. Really looking forward to the game.

Don't know why people keep bringing up XBO in the topic. The man is a newly started high profile Japanese developer. If he decides to go anywhere it's probably with Sony since they have the resources and don't mind a PC-port. Microsoft isn't relevant in his home territory.

This. Not sure why it's even surprising people. A Japanese developer going with a Japanese company. Shocking!

Can't wait to see what he cooks up though! That's for sure.

 

[FootballFan]

Its face expression. He looks sad/awkward. I dont know. I imagine the last few months, hell, YEARS working with Konami have been rough.

He does look tired.

I mean, we do have this.

Stunning Gif.

 

[ZoltanXerxes]

Out of curiosity (I doubt anyone knows yet), what other known developers are working with Kojima on his new project? Are they coming from Konami as well?

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Exclusive for the first game so Kojima studio own the IP?

I would assume so, since if Sony owned it, it would be a full PS4 exclusive.

 

[Elfstruck]

Rather than being happy with the fact that one of the greatest game developer just got out of the hell hole called Konami, ppl are derailing this thread with port begging...smh.

 

[Two Words]

Kojima- "Kaz (Harai), I'm already a demon."

 

[neurosyphilis]

Exclusive for the first game so Kojima studio own the IP?

Trust me if Sony owned the IP no way in hell they would put it on PC.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Exclusive for the first game so Kojima studio own the IP?

According to PSNation, Sony owns the IP.

 

[DangerMouse]

When has kojima not being abot sci-fi
Kojima is all about sci-fi, wich i love.

Completely agree.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

They haven't even reached their final form yet.

It's just unbelievable how perfectly Sony played this generation. First you had the big three at E3 2015, then suddenly Kojima is going through a hard time in the industry and Sony picks him up? Sony is beyond godlike at this point.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Out of curiosity (I doubt anyone knows yet), what other known developers are working with Kojima on his new project? Are they coming from Konami as well?

Might not be quite what you want to know, but former producer Ken Imaizumi came along for the ride I think.

 

[Nick]

I took a nap, and woke up with this video. I'm so fucking happy.

 

[Elfstruck]

According to PSNation, Sony owns the IP.

You have the link for that?

 

[Pankratous]

Andrew's Japanese is very impressive.

 

[De_Legend]

Exclusive for the first game so Kojima studio own the IP?

Where does it say it's only the first game being exclusive?

 

[bigboss370]

in the video, Kojima says "I'm thrilled to embark on creating a new franchise with Playstation".


Whatever deal or partnership they have in place, seems will be long term, lasting more than this first title.

 

[doofy102]

Here's to Kojima and many more years of game design.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Never thought in a million years that it would be this quick like seriously I thought this would take like 2 years to set up :O.

AMAZING such an AMAZING year!

 

[KazenY2J]

.

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[neurosyphilis]

Good for Sony and especially Kojima. The love these two have for each other is unmatched. Now let's see if it will actually be a PS4/PC game or a PS5/PC2 game.

Oh and we need PT PSVR.

 

[SZips]

Trust me if Sony owned the IP no way in hell they would put it on PC.

Helldivers?

 

[DarkSoul520]

Was having a shitty night, but god damn did reading the thread title alone make me feel better.

This is legendary. Truly.

 

[Portugeezer]

 

[Xpliskin]

Megaton

 

[npa189]

TB really needs to chill out, jesus. Whatever this thing is will come to PC eventually. Not everyone can have triple 980s or whatever crazy internet-person-only rig he has. Sony is the only platform holder willing and able to do this for Kojima and the industry as a whole is better for it. I'm just ecstatic that him and his staff will be able to make games once more.

 

[neogaffer1]

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.

woosh

 

[Guymelef]

Trust me if Sony owned the IP no way in hell they would put it on PC.

Pretty sure is something Sony would be happy to accept to have Kojima on board.

 

[GreatestHits]

He just came out of a situation where he had a game come out on five platforms, only to get zero marketing support outside of release month.

Dafuq? Didn't know about this. So Kojima had a huge flop due to marketing? Development? ???

If that is true it would leave this to a PR motion
