Sounds like the dude wants to do something new
Yeah but in games. He said he wants to make games until he dies. Other media comes after he establishes ip through gaming.

Press release says clearly PS4...
Hahaha, of course, it was a Microsoft choice...
It's worth it. But only in small doses. Too much salt will kill you!doesnt worth it anyway lol
I didn't listen to it all as I had errands to run.
* Ryan says he was thinking in Baseball terms when he made that tweet with the Sony being the Yankees and Mocrosoft as the Red Sox
* He looked physically ill when they mentioned how Sony's coddling up Tim Schafer, Yu Suzuki and Hideo Kojima. He said he will personally ask Phil about it
* IGN contemplates that the game's 5 years away and may be a PS5 launch title.
* There was some talk about how risky it is to give Kojima this much money on a new IP and that may have been a factor why MS didn't want it
I'll listen to the rest when I get back home.
TBH, I listened directly there and it does sound more like he's just wanting MS's reaction to these content wins rather than wondering why they're happening. He notes it must suck for Xbox owners, but he's not personally himself saying 'oh i wish MS would get these deals'. More like 'I wonder what they're MS is thinking about these developments'. And that's all fair enough, I think someone should inquire with them about it.

Ryan ever watched the interview IGN exclusive had ? Kojima perfectly explains why he went with Sony. FFS. Not everything is just money.
It's a market that is a headless entity with no one organising "exclusivity" against Sony. The audience playing on PC is only partially similar to that of consoles as represented by the variation in successful games, genres, development, features, monetisation etc. Independent games flourish there and are the initial starting point of development for the majority of them due to PC being a primary developer platform with easy mechanisms to self publish and maintain a higher portion of revenue than any other platform. Importantly, developers want to be there due to the success they get, increased revenue per unit and player base. With costs of development as they are and improved tools, it makes sense to be on PC as well as everywhere else when possible, which makes agreeing and paying for full exclusivity difficult. Platform holders can not justify the cost to attain fully exclusive third party titles of large scope and scale and third parties are not so willing either compared to years ago due to what they'll miss out on.
MS are determined to get control of PC gaming, have it become a part of their revenue stream and become a competitor there. They are less willing to pick up titles and publish them on something big like Steam, betting more on having its own fully exclusive titles on its own services, at least at first, as they try to unify their ecosystems (likely with many 3rd parties not interested in publishing to a MS store front alone on PC). For Sony this isn't much of a problem, and they are having great success letting 3rd parties publish their games on PC as originally intended but grab the exclusivity with some extra money / marketing in a win-win situation. They even engage in picking up Steam Early Access titles prior to their launch.
It is entirely possible that Sony see all this and will take advantage with non-critical titles they have ownership of, and titles where the developers need extra funding, choosing to become a publisher for such games on PC thus getting a return for sales there as well for greater profit. Then again this is all guess work on my part. For all we know there might be a lot more going on behind the scenes.
The problem is that that is practically impossible. The number of excellent titles coming out on PC, where they start development, is massive. It simply isn't possible to make so many of them exclusive to console, enough that PC users would stop gaming there and move to a console. Many gamers are doing both since PCs have other uses, different features and gaming paradigms going on. Consoles and PC are not competing in the same way you think they are. If anything, they actually need each other. The two markets end up producing very different games with success varying between the platforms and their audiences
In Ryan's defense when he talks about his twitter exchange with Shu, he seems genuinely starstruck in tone about the prospect of interviewing him for the podcast. While he and his team definitely does side and champions all things Microsoft, it almost sounds like expanding the focus to make Sony on par is this exciting new territory for him. It could just be him gracious about the situation, but it isn't hard to conceive that a podcast host would love to have the heads of two consoles in their communication channels.

Ryan does lean more towards the Xbox lineup of stuff, (thus Sony's 2016 pro-Japanese stuff doesn't interest him comparatively ), so it's a natural train of thought for Ryan.
I think the Unlocked team is somewhat bewildered a little bit by how Sony is able to tap so strongly into the hardcore and sell so much, whereas Xbox releases exclusive games (they like), but still is struggling.
Ryan and co. much like many US-based journalist lacks the global perspective of things, and also doesn't seem to understand that Sony achieves PR wins by making strategic moves on all ends of the spectrum via positioning themselves with the biggest games in the market (CoD, Destiny, etc), not just the Tim, Kojima and Suzukis.
Fuckin' loool, I like my FUD salty
Will check out later for the delicious tears.
Nothing wrong with that, but honestly the first dibs should be Marty Sliva, not Ryan.
So far, Greg Miller's pretty much gotten all the hawt scoops when it comes to being buddy-buddy with Playstation execs.
But Marty's gotten nothing substantial yet. =(
Its a shame. But its not uncommon in the US for this kind of mindset, Xbox sells the most here, and this type of consumer is essentially what XBox 1 only consumers mindsets are, largely reflected in Ryan Mccaffery's viewpoints here.
Pro US, anti Japanese game, confused at why people don't take to shooters and the typical western stuff MS locks down over more experimental kinds of things.
Just based on my experience its not uncommon a sentiment, so its not really fair to dogpile on him by himself.
you need to get off your high horse and stop acting so god damned indignant.Honestly, posts like this are an embarrassment to our hobby.
You're not focusing on the games, or the possibilities for the acquisition. You're concentrating purely on gloating and sticking it to the console you don't personally back.
Seriously, what is wrong with you?

oh no? isn't this so-called gloating a by-product of some perceived slight against microsoft aka "sticking it to the console you don't personally back"?I don't consider calling out bad behavior as being indignant.

hey, if you want to fundamentally change the dialogue between fanboys, more power to you. seriously. but this back-and-forth is entrenched in console-war fanboyism. it always has been, and it always will be. it's nothing but a humorous asterisk denoting the victors/losers that isn't worth glossing over.
did i say that?So that makes it okay?

did i, though?Not outright, but you did tell me to sit down and shut up.
Could someone explain to me why PC isn't a competition to PS4? In every one of these Console Exclusive threads you'll see one or two posters going "Fuck this, what's the point in my PS4 when I can play this on PC? I'm selling mah shit!" Isn't that competition right there?

The exact terms are not known but usually that's how a publisher arranges things with an independent developer.So Are Sony financing the development and publishing the game?

Wonderfull stuff. He is paid fanboy like Gies
Has anyone linked the gif of them discussing that PS4 having games in 1080p/30fps doesn't matter because the human eye can't detect it?
Fools the lot of them

Kojima is a big enough name that his contracts probably resemble more those of Respawn and Bungie than those of Platinum or High Voltage Games.
You've done plenty of system warrioring yourself.I don't consider calling out bad behavior as being indignant.
I just wonder sometimes about the priorities of some people.
This?

A coping mechanism....Wow. Just wow. Was this them making up arguments against the PS4 or do they actually believe that insane drivel?
