Kojima Productions is setting up a small satellite studio based in Amsterdam alongside Guerrilla Games #PSX16

[entremet]

They're technical wizards. That's for sure.

 

[JetSetRadio]

What they do best.

 

[sense]

Shinobi the true insider

 

[Adam M]

Not that surprising, engine looked familiar

 

[HStallion]

Herman Hulst of Guerilla Games and Mark Cerny are also at the Death Stranding panel talking about working with Kojima.

 

[PlayerOne]

The camera work on Del Toro was very much in line with what was done in MGSV thats why people prematurely thought it was the Fox engine.

 

[Vashetti]

So, PS4 exclusive?

 

[Tonky]

Read the title as "Death Stranding is developed by Guerrilla Games" and got super confused for a second.

 

[sjay1994]

Yup.

There was no way what was shown was using Sucker Punch's engine.

 

[DMONKUMA]

So, PS4 exclusive?

Might be that.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Tech gods

 

[Thabass]

Good, now I hope it has a chance at hitting a 2018 release.

 

[Wollan]

Death Stranding is practically 1st party.

SIE funding and publishing.
Cerny (PS4 lead architect) is the Technical Producer.
Guerrilla Games engine.
SIE visual arts studio doing all motion capture work.

PC release was mentioned at the project inception (prior to choosing engine, going on a worldwide trip) but I'm not so sure anymore.

 

[RichiRamjag]

So, PS4 exclusive?

It was always that as far as I knew.

 

[jmga]

So, PS4 exclusive?

Nope, Kojima himself confirmed it for PC.

 

[lumi7890]

Say it with me, "never doubt shinobi"

 

[BraXzy]

Just revealed on stream: Guerrilla Games gave Kojima a box with the engines source code inside the first time they met. From the sounds of it, they are sharing this for free?

 

[IcyRhythms]

Nope, Kojima himself confirmed it for PC.

yep

 

[Servbot24]

Has Kojima already said if this is open world? Because with how good Horizon looks, I can only imagine if that was focused on a more linear game... ;_;

 

[funkystudent]

Nope, Kojima himself confirmed it for PC.

Receipts!

 

[Chuck Norris]

I mean it was only either them or ND

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Perfect engine for Kojima to use. GG definitely knows how to make a fantastic engine.

 

[Blackpanther25]

Hell yeah! Guerilla Games finally getting the recognition they deserve. Those guys make killer engines.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

What did Cerny said about Kojima's "former employee" that made the audience erupt with a big loud boo? I missed what he said.

 

[Lingitiz]

Nope, Kojima himself confirmed it for PC.

I would be extremely surprised if it came to PC at this point. It was mentioned by him at the inception of the project, but that was prior to selecting an engine.

 

[GhostTrick]

So, PS4 exclusive?

Actually, Guerilla Games said themselves that their engine targets multiple platforms such as PC/PS3/PSV during a Killzone Mercenaries interview... I guess it's likely to be the same again.

 

[Hellraider]

Nope, Kojima himself confirmed it for PC.

He did?

 

[giancarlo123x]

So i guess Kojimas games will never show up on Xbox? Unless he's crazy and uses a different engine for every game.

 

[HStallion]

Guerilla Games actually gave Kojima the source code for their engine in a custom made ornate box on their first meeting. Damn that's how you sell your team and your engine. Classy!

 

[Zedark]

Oh, that's awesome! Horizon looks incredible, so I believe Death Stranding will manage to be a looker as well.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Wow, awesome.

 

[iMax]

Just revealed on stream: Guerrilla Games gave Kojima a box with the engines source code inside the first time they met. From the sounds of it, they are sharing this for free?

Considering Sony owns the IP of the game, I imagine the license extends only to that.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

I would be extremely surprised if it came to PC at this point. It was mentioned by him at the inception of the project, but that was prior to selecting an engine.

Yeah before Sony wined and dined him and send him on a road trip with Mark Cerny.

 

[Thabass]

What did Cerny said about Kojima's "former employee" that made the audience erupt with a big loud boo? I missed what he said.

He said that Kojima wasn't allowed to take the Fox Engine.

 

[Compsiox]

Why did he visit DICE? It's not like he would have been able to use their engine.

 

[orochi91]

Nope, Kojima himself confirmed it for PC.

That was over a year ago, before the engine was even selected.

 

[JP]

I'll be completely honest, if it was anybody other than Kojima telling me that the trailer was running in real time at 4K on the PS4 Pro...I just wouldn't believe them.

 

[SarusGray]

So.. does this mean its now PS4 exclusive? That kind of stinks since I remember it being said to be timed and then coming to PC.

 

[120v]

So i guess Kojimas games will never show up on Xbox? Unless he's crazy and uses a different engine for every game.

pretty implicit he'll be sticking with sony regardless

unless he does a little side thing. like that GBA game, forgot what it was called

 

[GhostTrick]

That was well over a year ago, before the engine was even selected.

The engine doesnt prevent that.
Guerilla Games is used to work with engines targeting multiple platforms:

[jabuseika]

Did Cerny just say both studios are working on the same code base. Wow.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

He said that Kojima wasn't allowed to take the Fox Engine.

Of course they didn't. Konami could've still make free money out of Kojima's continued wrk without having to invest any additional money or risk anything.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I'm sure it can still be on PC, but it's up to Kojima, I would think.

 

[Hierophant]

Why did he visit DICE? It's not like he would have been able to use their engine.

would you turn down a free trip to stockholm?

 

[SarusGray]

I'm sure it can still be on PC, but it's up to Kojima, I would think.

better be. Ya can't be like "this will be for this and this" and then be like nvm.

 

[Arion]

I hope it isn't exclusive. If for nothing else, just to avoid the salt.

 

[cLOUDo]

If the engine is from Sony (GG)
What will happen with the next game from kojima games?

 

[funkystudent]

So.. does this mean its now PS4 exclusive? That kind of stinks since I remember it being said to be timed and then coming to PC.

Sony own the IP
Sony own the engine.

The only "proof" of a PC version was some moderator on the PlayStation EU forums saying it might come to PC after the Kojima x Sony announcement last year.


This thing is locked down tighter then North Korea.

 

[SolidSnakex]

When Kojima met Guerrilla they introduced themselves and handed him this

That's the source code to Decima. He said they gave him that before any deals or contracts were in place.
