Probably a street fighter 5 thing. ALl of this is speculation at best but its a good thing since Kojima and Sony would benefit in general from a PC/Console release vastly compared to a single platform release.

ahhh confusing reports...

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
My gut says it's a horror game.
Would make sense

As much as that'd be cool, I don't want it just because I'll be too scared to play it lol
Did you miss the Steam database leak of a bunch of PS titles potentially coming to PC?
it would be awesome.TheLostBigBoss

I don't know about "way more", i have seen plenty of "First on Xbox One" or "Xbox One exclusive" banners on their press conference trailers.
A lot of them were debunked except for Everybody's gone to the rapture.
It's unlikely on the basis they didn't do it when it happened, so presumably the whole setup was around being a PS4 exclusive.
These types of decisions are generally made at the start when the developer feels that they want a PC version.
For example, Helldivers is by the people who made Magicka and made most of their sales on PC, so they presumably told Sony they would only sign if a PC version was allowed.
maybe PSVR?
In a way, probably both.

Just remember that Sony are partnering with Capcom, a massive third party to bring one of their games to PS4 and PC? It's the exact same situation except Kojima not being attached to a third party publisher outside of Sony.

Most likely. There were enough parts in MGSV where he leaned toward horror themes and stuff. Makes me think he REALLY wants to make a horror game

And the developer of this game talked about the PC version coming if Sony 'allowed' it.
It would also allow them to start on the game a lot quicker since they already started working on it and the team is in that zone.
They can't use the work they did on Silent Hills directly obviously but the partnerships (Del Toro, Junji Ito, Reedus) and concepts etc. still stand.
Tables would be flipped if it weren't a Del Toro/Kojima collaboration a la Silent Hills.
If that is back on then I hope it gets VR functionality.
No way it sold 1m on XB1. September it did 180K in the U.S. WW XB1 is not as popular so i doubt it sold much higher.
EDIT-
And that was 5M shipped.

I'm guessing that too. I have a Kojima definitely want the ideas he had for Silent Hills to go to waste and chances are he wouldn't switch genres to do so.
Sony probably would since it was a PC game formerly. Sony is kind of lenient with indie developers.

Glad he gets to finally work on a brand new IP. Looking forward to whatever he's working on next. He can finally put Metal Gear behind him.

Also after what happened with P.T/Silent Hills I'm 100% convinced the new game is Silent Hills just re imagined using a different engine and name.
It sold like 2K copies in Japan on X1.

These conclusions seem solid based on the info:
- Sony may have an exclusivity window, but not complete exclusivity.
- Sony isn't buying a Kojima led studio.
- Kojima seems to be independent.
Which ones? Half Life 3 is the only one I recall.

oh wow, a new game already underway! P.T shall rise again!!
Yeah i think so too, they had lots of cool ideas for Silent Hills, no way they will start all over again with a completely different game.
Just get Del Toro and Junji Ito back in the boat.

All I need is PT or PT equivalent. PLEASE.
Journey was debunked by the developers themselves and it was revealed it was a different steam game. Same for a lot of other titles.

Sure but were they first party developed/funded titles like Bloodborne? No.

So there's no chance it could be Konami?Yeah there's a reason I listed very specifically Square Enix and Bandai Namco for traditional publishers.
Persona or Dawn of War is about the extent of the money they're going to spend on a game.
Your also missing one more soul to the call of silent hill.

Possibly revive Siren. That would be interesting.
Sony doesn't own Street fighter. Capcom does. The money sony paid for SF was enough to keep it off X1. Where as the Psnation article says "completely funded, published, and owned by Sony upon release". Why would Sony fully fund and publish a big Kojima made game on PC? Besides Nikkie is more reliable so timed exclusivity is more likely with sony providing a small amount of the funding.
Sony didn't own or publish any of those games.
Debunked is not the word if it was just mistaken with a different game.
I don't remember any other title being debunked with exception of Half Life 3.
And many have already been confirmed.
Based on only one example out of dozens. I dont expect games that had direct help from a 1st party studio to release on pc at all.
Could be a stipulation to get the console exclusive from kojima.

It's great (and somewhat expected) news that he's starting his own company. Working with sony seems like a given considering his titles have seen the most success on their platform.
Translations and guesses aside... i'm looking forward to whatever he decides to bring out.
...
I'm curious to see what dev tools he'll work on. It makes sense to use something like UE4.. especially since it's gaining popularity in Japan.
Also what genre will he attack first? Will he go back into stealth action? or maybe work on a spritual successor to ZoE or Snatcher, then there's the slight possibility that he and Guillermo del toro are looking into making the horror title that Konami wouldnt have.
either way... very dope to see him back in action.
