Support NeoGAF

[Amused]

Q13. Will the title have something to do with the cancelled Silent Hills sequel?
No. It will be something completely new.
“Silent Hill” is a title from Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.

I refuse to give up hope!

"Nope, it has nothing to do with that cancelled game owned by Konami. This is something completely new. No legal action needed here!

Oh, by the way, it's a horror game. Made by Kojima and Del Toro. It's called Public Transport. "

Spoiler

It's never going to happen, is it?

 

[CortexVortex]

God, many PC gamers are so annoying.

Can't wait to get a glimpse of his next masterpiece. P.T. 2.0 with PSVR would be amazing.

 

[Acquiescence]

Strange that Sony supports the PC better than Microsoft.

Supporting the PC? Nah. I'm sure Sony's ideal scenario would've been to own the IP and have the game completely exclusive to the PS4, but Kojima wasn't willing to budge on the matter of IP ownership, so this outcome was the next best thing.

Assuming of course that Kojima actually does own the IP and not Sony. If Sony does then... that's interesting.

 

[aravuus]

Glad to see it's coming to PC too, although I'll probably own a PS4 whenever they finally get something out

I think it's childish.

Lol

 

[Nzyme32]

Good stuff. Looking forward to seeing what new things they could cook up. Also great to see Sony happy to "support"/allow PC titles. Shame other platforms have to miss out, but thankfully Kojipro is independant

Yeah on your PC behind your desk....while your friends stand behind you and watch. Definitive indeed!

Huh, good thing my PC transitions nicely from Lounge on the TV / Projector to bedroom on the monitor.

Yeah, pretty much this.

Sony doesn't "support" PC as much as it's cheaper to buy timed exclusivity than to buy full exclusivity.

 

[Nesther]

I'm still hoping it's a horror game.

Del Toro changing his tone in the last month or so about never doing video games again and Norman Reedus saying the Del Toro+Kojima+Him team dynamic "Needs to happen" in the last month as well gives me hope, that and this springing AS SOON as his contract expired.

I'm sure it'll happen at one point. Maybe not KojiPros first title, but it's safe to assume it'll be another sci-fi IP or that.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

so last gen people got angry when ms was moneyhatting certain projects, and this gen, people love sony for moneyhatting sf5 and this new thing.

am i missing something?

great to hear that kojima found a new home/found a new studio.

There is a difference between moneyhatting and funding.

 

[poncle]

Sony publishing on PC?

 

[Mivey]

To expand on this, of the thousands of multiplatform games released over the past decade I can't think of more than a handful (or even that) which weren't (sometimes eventually, after HW improvements and community fixes) definitive on PC.

Can you?

To be fair, you can never exclude (as nice as that would be) the possibility that they will just botch the PC port. I guess that is what the other people are hinting at, when they doubt that the PC version could be definitive.

 

[delSai]

Sony publishing on PC?

Just like with Helldivers.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Sony publishing on PC?

Sounds like it.

 

[Rymuth]

You know who you're talking to?

[Ludens]

I wonder who asked about Metal Gear and Silent Hill. Of course they say the game has nothing to do with those IPs, since they are owned by Konami. What the dude making the interview would expect?

 

[Gbraga]

I'm still hoping it's a horror game.

Del Toro changing his tone in the last month or so about never doing video games again and Norman Reedus saying the Del Toro+Kojima+Him team dynamic "Needs to happen" in the last month as well gives me hope, that and this springing AS SOON as his contract expired.

Please be true

 

[The Dear Leader]

Awesome, glad I'll be able to play this on PC, now the wait begins to see what the hell the actual game is.

 

[Blueblur1]

Good stuff!

 

[fantomena]

Helldivers was published by Playstation Mobile which also publish games for smartphones and such.

 

[kneePat]

lol another good one!

 

[GeoramA]

No-brainer investment by Sony. Finally working directly with Kojima after all these years has got to feel pretty special.

 

[SmokedMeat]

If Sony is publishing I guess that means they get a cut of the sales of the PC version as well?

 

[Granjinha]

Sony publishing on PC?

Helldivers (and Everybody's Gone To The Rapture)

To be fair, you can never exclude (as nice as that would be) the possibility that they will just botch the PC port. I guess that is what the other people are hinting at, when they doubt that the PC version could be definitive.

I don't know, MGSV was pretty good on PC.

 

[Durante]

Even completely botched PC ports are generally definitive after the passage of time and community fixes. (e.g. SR2 is better on PC these days than anywhere else despite being an absolutely terrible port at launch)

 

[Mupod]

I'm still expecting a horror game, but what I want is more Shinkawa mechs.

 

[poncle]

Just like with Helldivers.

That's just plain awesomeness

 

[AAK]

Is this being published published by Sony? I thought that they only do so if they keep the IP.

Edit: nvm, already talked about.

 

[stryke]

no shit it will not having anything to do with Silent Hill. Can't believe how much things have to be spelled out for people these days.

 

[KillerMan91]

so last gen people got angry when ms was moneyhatting certain projects, and this gen, people love sony for moneyhatting sf5 and this new thing.

am i missing something?

great to hear that kojima found a new home/found a new studio.

Because Sony is not moneyhatting third party exclusive? This will be second party game like the games from Insomniac as Sony will be the publisher. Not to mention it's coming to PC too.

Edit. Well SFV will be third party console exclusive. I give you that. Still that its coming to PC too.

 

[SparkTR]

Helldivers was published by Playstation Mobile which also publish games for smartphones and such.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture was also spotted in the Steam database, a recent entry with lots of traffic as far as playtesting is concerned.

 

[fantomena]

I don't know, MGSV was pretty good on PC.

MGSV was Konami though, not Sony.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Strange that Sony supports the PC better than Microsoft.

Let's wait and see how many titles MS releases before 2019 before saying things

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

So big Youtubers with focus on PC gaming had a meltdown on Twitter for nothing huh

Why would PC gamers have a meltdown, isn't MGSV the only game from Kojima on PC? Or did PC gamers all of the sudden become massive Kojima fans lol?

Where is the Funhaus guy? -_-

 

[ZoddGutts]

Isn't Helldivers publish by Sony themselves on Steam? On Steam is says Publish by 'Playstation Mobile,Inc'. Wonder if Sony will do the same thing or Kojima's own team will publish it on Steam.

 

[fvng]

Benevolent Sony has spoken

 

[prudislav]

Praise the Lord

Thats probably whats going to happen.
That PS Mobile publishes it, i mean lol

 

[Paradise Brunch]

I'm hoping for something reminiscent to Enders Project.

 

[killatopak]

wow thanks sony.

 

[RK9039]

Cool, I guess I can safely ignore my PS4 as usual. I'm really interested to see what he's working on, as much as I disliked MGSV I think he's still a mad genius.

 

[sacrificengineer]

Another "exclusive" console game coming to pc? What good is this miserable mound of PS4 of mine? Sell it for some blow, I guess. Sony is not really giving this consumer reason to keep it.

Thank gawd for pc.

Sony is basically giving you this game though.

The reason why "definitive" sticks in a lot of people's craws is that its typically used as as synonym for "superior" or "best", which implies that the console versions must therefore be the inferior versions.

Its just platform warrior bullshit, and needs to be called out as such.

Exactly.

 

[pswii60]

Strange that Sony supports the PC better than Microsoft.

I doubt Sony will be publishing the PC version.

 

[entremet]

God, many PC gamers are so annoying.

Can't wait to get a glimpse of his next masterpiece. P.T. 2.0 with PSVR would be amazing.

One of the major points of this topic is that the title is confirmed for PC.

Why are you surprised that PC gamers are elated of the news?

Is the idea of people who own both PS4 and PC out of the question?
Many console gamers are also PC gamers these days.

 

[LouisaFerre]

There is a difference between moneyhatting and funding.

If he's talking about games like Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon, I'm pretty sure those only exist because they were funded by MS.

 

[Clear]

Why?

Its just platform warrior bullshit, and needs to be called out as such.

PS. Is the PC version of Arkham Knight the definitive version?

 

[Granjinha]

MGSV was Konami though, not Sony.

But it was Kojima Productions who developed it. The same team that's doing this.

 

[Spacecowboy77]

Awesome, PC it is then

 

[fantomena]

.

PS. Is the PC version of Arkham Knight the definitive version?

Of course it is. Durante says everything on PC can be fixed to the extend it will be the definitive version.

 

[Sicious]

Great to see it's coming to PC too. I'm not expecting a horror game to be their first game, but i'm confident a spiritual successor(if makes sense calling it that) of Silent Hills will happen, considering how enthusiastic Del Toro and Reedus were.
