Yes, I am PadPoet.

This Q&A was with the official press release, was not reactive and was for "immediate release" and also stated as "Please feel free to disseminate"

Disseminate = Spread the information widely.

We're all just as excited as you guys are here in SCEE (I guess SCEA and all SCE regions as well)

Once we have more info and we are allowed to communicate it we will of course.

Great news!

Q26: Is the earth flat?

We have nothing to announce at this point in time. We will announce further details of the when ready.

[LiK]

Depends on the engine, especially if it was tuned for console first.

E.g. Arkham Knight.

don't have WB publish it and the PC port should be fine.

 

[andycapps]

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.

This was exactly what I was thinking. So what if it's not called Silent Hills? It could be another horror themed game.

 

[jaaz]

Why do people care if it's the canceled Silent Hills. He can just do a horror game and not even need that name. He can still work with Del Toro and Reedus and there's nothing Konami can do about it.

Yep. I think it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what Silent Hill is. It's just a confined and inescapable location to tell the real story: People dealing with inner demons in their lives. He doesn't need Silent Hill to tell people's stories, and Konami can't copyright life...

 

[yuraya]

Happy to hear its not Silent Hills. Hopefully its not a horror game. I know Kojima has a twisted mind and PT was very good but horror games are very meh. They are short 6-10 linear corridor games that are forgettable in the long run. Kojima is so much better than jump scares, gore and all that other mindless shit. His new game needs to be an 15+ hour action game that is narrative driven and full of memorable characters just like MGS.

[GeordieMark]

Is every announcement of a PS4 console exclusive game going to be port begging and or PC players swooping in with their insecure "Well at least I can play the definitive" version shtick. It derailed a lot of the PSX announcement threads, and it's starting to do the same with the announcement of this game. So boring at this point.

Where were you and the rest of the moaners in the Rise of the Tomb Raider threads?

 

[delSai]

I just hope it is not a horror game, if it is i wont be able to get excited for it. Time will tell what Kojima is up to.

[texhnolyze]

Graphics comparisons are being posted already when the game doesn't even exists yet. You PC owners are insufferable, holy shit.

What do you think about these statements then?
It's pretty normal in PS4 vs XB1 resolution announcement threads.

Is 1080p vs. 900p still a thing?

It is a difference though so should it be ignored?

It's a given that PS4 version will always be better

For people that want to know which version to buy, such as myself, it matters every single time.

I'm not really trying to bring this topic further, but I'm genuinely curious on why people still see things differently.

Ether.

 

[Maintenance]

Calling a ban on factual arguments like resolution, framerate, etc.

Heh, funny thread.

 

[Markoman]

Wow, salt everywhere! Came from the Smash threads, because I couldn't handle the amount of salt there, but this thread is heading the same route it seems.

5 pages in - PC Übermenschen and MS defense force warriors enter the scene already.

Man, GAF entertainment level has risen over 9000 in 2 days. Thank you everyone

On topic: Sony was the first adress anyway. I don't see any moneyhat-business in this.
People should stop comparing the Bayonetta 2, TR and SF 5 situations. Out of these TR was the most obvious case of moneyhatting. Anyway, Xbone list warriors will eat crow for claiming 'PS4 haz no gamez' it seems.

 

[The_Poet]

I find it funny how salty all these PS4 fans are over a matter of fact comment.

Its also funny because whenever an xbone game is announced to be at 900p vs 1080p on the PS4 theres the usual flood of jokes and pointed comments towards the xbone.

 

[Saint of Killers]

I just hope it is not a horror game, if it is i wont be able to get excited for it. Time will tell what Kojima is up to.

I won't play it if it's a horror game, but (fuc)Konami were such shitlords in their behaviour toward P.T. that I wouldn't mind if it was the spiritual successor to whatever Silent Hills would have become.

 

[SparkTR]

Depends on the engine, especially if it was tuned for console first.

E.g. Arkham Knight.

Well he said almost. Given how many AAA releases this year have been terrible on consoles compared to PC what he said wasn't wrong, I'd blindly go with a PC multiplatform AAA release compared to a console one looking at that ratio if I want a better experience technically/visually.

I think Alan Wake is closer to the model this release will probably follow than Bioshock/ME. (Those ended up on other consoles as well)

 

[fresquito]

You can't talk about differences in versions unless it's 1080 vs 900. Those 180 lines are the ones that truelly matter. Anything else is just child insecurity.

 

[Beefy]

Can we actually start talking about the game now?

Well, if we're being fair, those are graphics comparison threads. This one is an announcement thread, meant to discuss kojima's next chapter.

 

[entremet]

We know nothing about the game.

That's the thing.

 

[Hektor]

I didn't know this was a thing. Did they A) not notice that it said 'console exclusive' (which is language for 'Also coming to PC') and B) expect his next game would come to PC by default? He has a long history with consoles, but not so much with PCs, besides his most recent game being a multi-format release.

All Metal Gear games as well as Metal Gear Solid 1 + 2 and V released on MSX/PC.

He litereally started developing PC games a decade before playstation games.

 

[Teletraan1]

Why do people care if it's the canceled Silent Hills. He can just do a horror game and not even need that name. He can still work with Del Toro and Reedus and there's nothing Konami can do about it.

They didn't even keep the proper name of Silent Hill with that Silent Hills name. They can change it to whatever the hell they want. I just hope they don't pull a Bungie where they complain about making Halo in servitude and then go and make a sci fi FPS. I want to see something different.

 

[Critic]

So bloodborne coming to PC soon?

 

[Heartfyre]

One man's "definitive edition" is another man's "old hat I completed ~1 year ago". Such is the way of it. Each has its advantages. If you want to follow the zeitgeist, you play it on PS4. If you want to play a technically superior version down the line when the game has already been discussed and enjoyed by most, you play the PC version.

It's nice that Sony and Microsoft are trying new approaches to publishing. Minecraft on Wii U last week, Kojima/Sony game on PC announcement the following week.

 

[Quonny]

This guy gets it.

 

[Elixist]

Yep.

It's gonna be bundled together with the Uncharted collection.

you jest, but i've thought for awhile that something like UC collectioncould be really smart for pc. a year later pc release of old games probably wouldnt rile the fanboy nest too bad either. we know it dint sell very well on ps4 too.

 

[fantomena]

We know nothing about the game.

That's the thing.

We know it's not Silent Hills.

We know Kojima likes horror.

We know Kojima likes sci-fi (Star Wars).

 

[jmaine_ph]

Question for those who play on PC mainly but own consoles as well. If a game is a timed exclusive on a console do you play it on that console or do you wait (usually 6months or more except RotTR) and just play it on PC?

 

[foxbeldin]

Can we actually start talking about the game now?

We have nothing to discuss at this point in time. We will discuss further details when we have any.

 

[Reedirect]

I still hope this will be a new horror IP.

 

[LUXURY]

Nice to be able to play the definitive ver. of whatever is Kojima's new game will be

Childish. Like a YouTube comment.

I hope this is some sort of horror title.

 

[Beefy]

Yeah i cant play horror games and have no problem with skipping a game, dont have to play everything, if Kojima really wants to make a horror game/Silent Hills under a new name, i say go for it.
I bet he's happy that he doesnt have to do MGS games anymore.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

I don't see how you can categorize talking about the eventual PC version as "port begging" when something is announced as a "console exclusive". That very phrase was invented to allow for the possibility of a PC release while still claiming exclusivity.

It would be "port begging" if it were to happen for a game announced as a true exclusive. In which case it will and does get the instigator(s) banned usually.

I don't see discussion other than enthusiasts from both sides slinging shit at each other.

I dont see how its port begging when console exclusive is pr speak for also being on pc.

So I guess the mod who closed the initial rumour thread for that exact reason was wrong in doing so? I'm not the only one who thinks this.

So, you come into a pcgame related thread, derailing it, so you can talk about other people derailing completely different threads? The fucking irony.

People like you are embarrassing.

Derailing it how? Have you not seen the previous pages? I'm just saying that these kinds of arguments just derail proper discussion. You sound offended by the fact I'm pointing this out. People like you are embarrassing.

I'm pretty sure some posts are just made to rile up some PS fans. Seems way too easy to do, and wouldn't happen as much if people weren't replying to that.

Probably is, but I said in the initial rumour thread that the PS Fans need to stop crying as well. It coming to PC doesn't mean their PS4 copy is suddenly invalidated. I would have thought that this PS4/PC trend would be a good thing, but damn, clearly not.

Where were you and the rest of the moaners in the Rise of the Tomb Raider threads?

Eh? I wasn't even a member of this forum back then. But the same argument applies there too. Nice try though.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Happy to hear its not Silent Hills. Hopefully its not a horror game. I know Kojima has a twisted mind and PT was very good but horror games are very meh. They are short 6-10 linear corridor games that are forgettable in the long run. .

You should play some good horrorgames.

You've got a point there.

I knew it was coming to PC, but I have to post this gif, purely out of tradition.

Depends on who much i want this game.

Nier: Automata, the sequel to my favorite game of all time, i'll definetely be playing on PS4, even if a PC-Port would follow a month later.

For GTAV on the other hand i had no issue waiting 2 years.

Derailing it how? Have you not seen the previous pages? I'm just saying that these kinds of arguments just derail proper discussion. You sound offended by the fact I'm pointing this out. People like you are embarrassing.

You literelly came into this thread to blame other people for derailing threads rather than adding anything to the topic. give me a break.

 

[Lulubop]

Can't wait for that godc version

 

[kurahador]

I still hope this a new horror IP.

Ehh...we already got plenty of horror this gen with more incoming.

I want him to do space opera scifi rpg/action adventure game.

[Bear Force One]

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.

Are you always this character?

 

[foxbeldin]

I meant instead of the PC vs PS4 vs MS crap.

I know, sorry, just wanted to make that joke.

 

[fantomena]

We know it's not Silent Hills.

We know Kojima likes horror.

We know Kojima likes sci-fi (Star Wars).

[Triggerhappytel]

His studio was officially formed yesterday and the game probably hasn't had any development take place yet. I doubt they've hired everyone they need to. Do you want them to disclose everything about the game already?!

 

[sleazedroid]

I'm glad it's something completely new. Last time Kojima was involved with an all-new IP we got ZOE, which was awesome.
