Kojima could create a game where you play as a cereal box and it would be critically acclaimed.

He has nothing to worry about.

Critical acclaim doesn't equal sales. I agree, he's a legend, but I'm sure he's feeling a variety of emotions about this whole process.

 

[iMax]

He knew the score.

And he knew the truth.

 

[mejin]

Holy shit...can't believe I missed all the fun. Good job, Andrew. Good job.

 

[Woodchipper]

MGS is dead for all intents and purposes. No matter what they do just think of the series as a trilogy or a quadrilogy, depending on your tastes. It's better that way.

Amen. Trilogy it is.

 

[Beefy]

Wow. Kojima got a taste of that pc power. Not even Sony moneyhats could keep him off Windows. Good news for gamers.

Why?

 

[Rockk]

man I was really hoping he would work on a movie with Del Toro.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Why?

Cause more people get to play his game.

 

[BokehKing]

According to this http://n4g.com/news/1837620/the-new...autiful-and-fitting-designed-by-yoji-shinkawa From the new Logo explanation, it will be a VR title hence the helmet and hence PS4 console exclusive (Playstation VR) and maybe later PC with the VR devices. I don't know if it is a good or bad news.

Hopefully VR optional because I'm not wearing those things on my head

 

[wapplew]

I guess Xbox fans. But exclusives are never a good thing for everyone.

It could've been worst if Kojima join Sony WWS as first party studio right?
Now that Kojima remain independent and only the first game partner with Sony, the future is bright for everyone.

 

[le.phat]

I'm glad it'll be on PC. Current gen tech will be long in the tooth by the time 2017/18 rolls around.

That hidden salt core.

 

[SeanR1221]

Who in their right mind would be mad about Kojima going to Sony?

This is the best thing that could have happened. he will have access tot he best tech and create the games he wants too.

I'd assume people who only own an Xbox? I mean it's not that hard to take their perspective.

Anyway, I'm excited to see what he can do when it's not a MGS game.

Unless his new game is SCL, Steel Cog Liquid.

 

[The_Monk]

I just woke up to this and I'm wondering if it's the lack of coffee but if I read it right this is amazing news.

Here's hoping to a great project. Wishing the best for him and the team, I truly believe they deserve it.

 

[Beefy]

Cause more people get to play his game.

I meant why post it in such a shit way.


Anyone else feel Kojima will be working with Sony a hell of alot?

 

[Drake]

Called this back in July. It was pretty obvious Sony was gonna scoop him up ASAP. Can't wait to see what's next!

 

[Shahed]

Guys, we're talking about an independent developer being funded by a console publisher.

This is not really the soap box for the evils of paying a third party publisher to keep a game off a competing console. We have like 20 other threads for that if you're looking to have that debate.

Sometimes I really wish there was a test to determine how capable a poster was of being rational before being allowed on these boards. Would make it a much more pleasant place to visit. Oh well warriors will be warriors.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

People that don't like third party exclusives. I'm not mad on the idea of him creating a studio and signing an exclusive deal. I would have thought if he was going Sony he would join them as an employee.

Edit: I don't think I worded this properly. I would rather him be independent, but that would involve a big publisher and there aren't many based in Japan. Maybe him going independent and with Sony to start with is for the best.

 

[CyberPunked]

Why?

Because you don't have to pay another $60 in a few years when the HD re-release is made.

 

[iMax]

Yeah, it's a great way to get started. Hopefully subsequent games will be independent.

Kojima's new game will be published by Sony, is also coming to PC, won't be Silent Hills

 

[crimilde]

Some new info about the new IP:

EDIT: beaten so badly

 

[Yarbskoo]

Good. It's best for everyone that he's not associated with Konami anymore. Sony did the right thing partnering with him, and I'll be looking forward to playing his next project if it hits PC.

EDIT: I guess I'll be playing it when it hits PC.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Damn, this is pretty huge.

Glad that Kojima will continue to make games and I'm glad to see him step away from MGS, as much as I adore the series, I'm okay with it ending.

First I've seen of it. Then again, I've only been on the internet today for 10 mins

 

[Militant17]

Wow. Kojima got a taste of that pc power. Not even Sony moneyhats could keep him off Windows. Good news for gamers.

Which along with all the talk of innovation leaves me with a feeling that he's going to do a VR game, explains why they would let him release on PC too because of the limited VR market and a chance of higher sales. I'm interested to see what he's got in store regardless.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Just make sure he doesn't spend years wasting away at an engine. Play for a UE4 license or something, otherwise we'll be waiting till 2020 for his next game at the earliest.

 

[friskykillface]

Kojima the god

Logo looks great and I'll get a t shirt just to say fuck Konami one last time

Good luck to Kojima

Woke up to this! Boom!

I wonder if Sony/Kojima wanted to announce this at PSX but Konami caught wind of it and stopped Kojima from attending.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Whoa, I guess the Year of Dreams wasn't over eh.

 

[Ahnez]

WHAT this was quick

 

[KarasuEXE]

I thought Kojima would rest a bit and try other areas, like movies or books... but best of luck to him!

Please be that ZoE concept that he teased.

Gaming News of the year! Not, cross my finger that PT develop in another new IP. Please Kojima!

 

[Kill3r7]

We will be waiting no matter what. Kojima is well known for taking his time.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

FUCKKKIN YES!

IM SO HAPPY!

DDDDDDDD

 

[PaulKersey]

So glad that didn't take long. Really curious what he is working on. First person horror game for Playstation VR? Or something else? I could see Sony throwing money at Kojima to try and recreate what he had done with PT.

This might be the game that will make me jump to VR.

Sony really doesn't give a fuck about expanding the PS4 player base with exclusives, huh?

I hope it'll be horror with Junji Ito

 

[John Wick]

Announcement video here from Playstation's Youtube channel.

Studio name is Kojima Productions. New IP!

"The first software title created by the newly formed Kojima Productions will be console exclusive to PlayStation 4."

BOOM!

 

[jmaine_ph]

Sounds like PS4 will get it first and then PC later. Cool, I will of course get it on PS4 first and then play the PC version when available.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

PlayStation exclusive is sucky. And I can't help but feel that the general vibe in this thread would be very different if the deal was with Microsoft instead.

Personally, yea, since I don't own Microsoft consoles and don't plan to own any.

 

[Arkanius]

It's called expanding by eating into the Xbox share.
Fighting PC is just stupid.

Here's the source of that info: https://medium.com/@PadPoet/sony-co...th-kojima-productions-1490ebd29c45#.uwl8kbsqe

 

[NHarmonic.]

Perfect.

Fuck Konami forever.

 

[robertsan21]

im so happy about this. PS4 is the new PS2!

So great to see Sony pull out of the muddy waters that was PS3. hopefully sony get the rights to Silent hill in the future

 

[Screaming Meat]

I'm genuinely surprised people are as psyched about this given what a mess MGSV seemed to end up being. (I hope he can cool it with the misogynist BS, also.) (This isn't meant to be a drive-by post, though. I'm genuinely curious if people are not at all wary of his next game given how many listed MGSV as their disappointment of the year in the other thread.)

I think that the general consensus is the narrative/pacing is "a mess". Few would argue that the game itself doesn't play beautifully.

Personally, I liked the whole package.

Edit: Oh fuck. Top of the page. Incoming "I thought the whole thing was shit" posts.

Could it be, that they deny it being linked to those franchises just to be on the safe side legally, or am I just grasping at straws in hope of getting a spiritual successor to PT?
