Wait genuine question why did everyone pounce on this? I don't know anything about TB
He's got metastasized cancer.

For me the most poignant if obvious news in all this is that Kojima will (I assume) be directing an entirely new game that isn't fucking Metal Gear. The guy hasn't been titled director on a non-Metal Gear project in like...over a decade.
I want to know the budget for the first title.
Holy shit, I been out of the loop. Didn't know it was that bad.
The way I see it there are three kinds of exclusivity from a consumer's point of view.
(1) First-party exclusives. These are fine, since the game would not exist without the platform owner funding the game.
(2) Third-party exclusives where the game would not exist without the extra funding. These are fine too.
(3) Third-party exclusives where the game could have been funded without the deal. These may be fine for the publisher/developer, but they are definitely shitty for consumers.
It's up to you to decide whether Kojima falls into category (2) or (3). Given that he likes to make expensive games, it's probably (2).
Damn, beaten.
He has terminal cancer. If I remember correctly, his doctors gave him less than a year.
It's great that Kojima got back on his feet so fast and is getting back to making games right away, but I gotta be honest, the level of gloating here in the thread is turning a good thing into a petty thing.
That's one huge feather on the PS4's cap.
Poor you.

Sony is publishing, it's their game. Microsoft wrote a check and said don't put it on a sony console for a while.
There is a difference there. One is making games, the other is annoying a fanbase.
I would argue there is one kind of exclusivity from an average consumers point of view:
In order to play X game; I need Y platform.
Period.
The rest of the nomenclature for fanboy bickering and industry enthusiasts

Well maybe Sony shouldn't be using a million different labels for upcoming games.Amazing news, Sony sure jumped on this opportunity quick.
But man this platform "discussion" is pretty insane. I feel like recent Sony threads are just littered with port begging. Too bad.

Hmm, didn't take all that long to prove my point, did it?
An uninformed consumer is a terrible argument, an uninformed consumer could complain about Google Play not being available on iOS, it is a fact that Google Play being iOS would be best for that consumer, but that doesn't make his or her complaint any less silly and..uninformed.

If we assume a 3-4 year development cycle, it'd be at the extreme tail end of the PS4 and maybe cross-gen if we assume the latter half of that.
I'd be surprised if they actually went 7 years again, but it's not impossible.
My bet.
Episodic game.
