Almost certain they'll set him up on UE4 and he'll hit the ground running. Don't think his next game will take 5 years this time.
I can't imagine him doing a big budget thing... at least not on the scale of his past works.
Too early to say, but the big benefit for Kojima with this deal is it gives them a lot of leeway and support while they get going. In a few years time when they have a built up studio, they may not need it anymore.

We are Homo Ludens (Those who play).
From the moment we enter this world,
we instinctively invent ways to have "fun",
and share our inventions with those around us.
We are not asked to do this,
nor do we need reasons to create. It is simply who we are.
We find one another
and compete with one another.
We laugh together and cry together all while playing together.
Our experiences bind us and liberate us.
To share our most valuable experiences,
we create stories, invent tools, and evolve the art of play.
Play has been our ally since the dawn of civilization.
"Playing" is not simply a pastime,
it is the primordial basis of imagination and creation.
Truth be told, Homo Ludens (Those who Play) are
simultaneously Homo Faber (Those who Create).
Even if the earth were stripped
of life and reduced to a barren wasteland, our imagination and de
to create would survive beyond survival,
it would provide hope that flowers may one day bloom again.
Through the invention of play, our new evolution awaits.

Sounds a lot like what happened with Titanfall.
Assuming whatever it is good, I also hope it inevitably goes multiplat like Titanfall will.

UE4 is awesome and versatile. He probably has so many different kinds of games and topics he wants to do. He's probably been sitting on things for a long time too.

That fucking logo though. I'm so happy, despite the whole console exclusive thing, Playstation is definitely the place where KojiPro belongs.

Metal Gear Solid did the same thing on Xbox as well, so I guess it isn't unheard of.

Was about to say the same thing. No way he will build a new engine for his games.
That's it. PT revival is likely going to happen and i want it to be the biggest "fuck you" to konami.

you know what i meant. vast majority of people who play kojima games are on ps4.
He's a perfectionist like Levine. It's going to be a number of years before we see the next game from him.

Everyone is going crazy over that logo but I can't make sense of it. Is there something I'm missing? It just looks like a skull with a bunch of random shapes and lines.

Be kind of silly to make the announcement if an agreement wasn't already in place
I hope the lack of Fox Engine doesn't detract from the tech side of the game :x

Funny thing is just weeks ago, Adam Kovic of Rooster Teeth's Funhaus and The Know, doubled down on the Kojima to Microsoft rumors. Remember that just prior to E3, The Know claimed that Microsoft had acquired the Silent Hill(s) IP from Konami for billions (only two major outlets reported on The Know's rumor- Shacknews and IGN). Then a few weeks ago, Adam was on Kinda Funny's Gamecast, where he said with near certainty that Kojima was going to Microsoft. When he brought it up, he asked Greg and Tim if they heard about the "big leak" from E3 (does it count as a "big leak" if no one takes it seriously?). He went on to say the E3 "leak" was true, but Konami demanded to own part of Microsoft. He said that Microsoft decided that they'd rather wait for Kojima to leave Konami and make a Silent Hill-esque game. He said Konami was stupid to turn down Microsoft's money. He also claimed the partnership was most likely happening at The Game Awards because Kojima and Keighley are tight.
Uh-huh....
Uh-huh....

They're certainly hiring like it's a AAA game:
If it was a smaller game, he probably would have just kickstarted it.
The fact that he made a deal with Sony is probably indicative of something major in the works.

Well, Xbox-only players. I'm sure plenty of Xbox owners also own a PS4.
