Ahahaha, I'm in the airport right now laughing my ass off and everyone is looking at me
Yeah, I also had to disable Twitter notifications on my devices, because the tweet I made with the gif got retweeted so often.
I don't even think that it's particularly funny apart from House's goofy face at the end. lol
Not bad haha
House's face at the end is what makes it even more hilarious with the Fuck Konami caption.

V has come to.
Well this was last announcement for 2015. Sony won 2015.
The only way for Phil Spencer directly counter this would be to buy the rights for Metal Gear Solid. If they want to go a step further they should acquired Konami's gaming division and reboot Castlevania (From Software), Contra (Gearbox Software), Metal Gear Solid (Avalanche Studios) and Silent Hills (Frictional Games).

Nah. They'd wait until after to see if it's any good first, Kojima or not.

Finally, Konami freed from Kojima.

All of those are Konami. He's starting with a clean slate.

Well, there really isn't anything stopping him from doing it if he wants to. Snatcher and Policenauts are standalone experiences. Although Policenauts does have some references to Snatcher. So he could make a new adventure/visual novel game if he wanted to. But it's certainly a possibility now. He can't work on Metal Gear anymore, so he has to do something new. Which is something he's been saying he wanted to do since completing MGS2.

I'd like a JRPG by Kojima, would be interesting to see what he does with a totally different genre.
He's been wanting to make a new IP for a long time. MGS was his ticket though to increase his production scale and move up in the ranks so he bent MGS to be what he wanted to work on. But I really think he will be pulling something from leftfield for this new project.

It will be a long time before we see anything from this. He doesn't really have any staff and he doesn't even have a engine to work with. I bet this slips to the PS5.
So you can't see Sony helping him out?

i hope most of the mechs have feet this time around =P (ZOE)
Absolutely. I hope he does. Just commenting on how licensing doesn't keep him from making spiritual successors.

I'm sure they will but if we assume he develops something of the scope of MGS 5, you have to assume we are 3 to 4 years away even if production started today. Sony and Microsoft have indicated they want a short gen. It is entirely plausible this slips to the PS5.
I look forward to Zone of the Metal Gear in 2020.
Certainly. Between him and Shinkawa, they'll retain a certain aesthetic and tonal element. Which is what I'm really excited to see.

I would imagine he has a clear idea of what he wants since he's been wanting to make new IPs for a long time. Sony will help them with settling in and engine wise they will either get help from Sony or get UE4. Still, he always takes a long time to make games. Q4 2018 to 2019 for release is what I expect.
I may not speak for the other studios, since I don't know much of their relationship with them (except for Insomniac Games).... but Quantic Dream were actually open about being acquired by SCE and put under their WWS. With SCE's Scott Rhode saying something like they are thinking about acquiring new studios and expanding their current ones... anything could happen.

Two years from now (Q4 2018) would be wildly optimistic. We are just a few weeks from being in 2016 as it stands and he doesn't even have a team in place.
I would be really surprised if the vast majority of his staff aren't coming with him

My thoughts exactly. It's not like they could register Kojima's last name but still. It makes sense now.

Excellent news.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were using the Killzone engine.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were using the Killzone engine.
Beat FF XIII's ratio of cutscene to gameplay? He is the man to do it.
No really, I hope it is something wacky, with totally ridicilous cutscenes and functional if short gameplay. Basically, I want him to make MGS3 in spirit.
Point is they signed on for 3 games with Sony as an independent studio. Just because they may look into being acquired doesn't mean the other companies under a similar partnership will seek the same.

No doubt.

Mark my words, he will pull an FF7 remake style split game. He won't go another gen releasing only 1 game again.
He made two last generation. MGS4 and Peace Walker.
I already said to much. Prepare to die.
I can see MS wanting a shorter gen but Sony would be happy if it lasted forever (I guess!)
