Take with a grain of salt but this guy wrote a book about MGS.

Is this somehow reliable ?
Who knows this guy?

 

[-Horizon-]

Good for Kojima.

 

[Newtype-001]

He Free

 

[JayEH]

Is it me or are people masturbating furiously at the prospect of his work being limited to Sony hardware?

I find it all a bit baffling to be honest.

Lol

 

[SictorVullivan]

He Free

Amazing.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

He knows people.

At this point, I think he knows EVERYONE @_@

 

[SolidSnakex]

I wonder if he might move forward with Unreal Engine 4 to help speed-up development.

I'd be surprised if they used an existing engine instead of building their own. That just seems to be what makes them most comfortable.

 

[Delusibeta]

So, late to the party here. Is the following correct?

1) Kojima has founded a new studio with a bunch of ex-Kojima Productions big cheeses.
2) He's going to make a new IP.
3) Sony immediately began negotiations for a moneyhat of some description.

 

[Eidjinn]

Great gif! Ha!

The greatest possible news: Yoji Shinkawa is coming with him.
Everybody talks about Kojima, but I think this dude is a genious too.

You should've seen the threads when Atlus was being put on sale before we knew that sega bought them.

Here we go again.

This seems like the perfect pairing as well. It will be nice to see Kojima to do something that's not Metal Gear.

 

[Y2Kev]

You realize what forum you're on, right?

How do you manage? It must be so hard.

 

[Yazan]

The new series, Dental Care, incoming? Starring Hayter as Punished Turtle?

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

This rumor is so bad it hurts. Sony is gonna sink millions (if not up to a billion) of dollars on acquiring MGS (which Konami would never sell since they have explicitly stated that they are still actively milking it). And once they acquire it, they're gonna sit on the IP (or just not have the creator work on it) and contract Del Toro to make a new IP with Kojima because "reasons"?

 

[TheOfficeMut]

That's not all that's been going on here, and you know it.

'Tis a time where we should look forward to Kojima games for everyone to enjoy, and not just a select few. I'd rather Nintendo/MS/Sony keep out of it.





whoosh

Your point being? It doesn't refute what I said.

 

[Fat4all]

Here we go again.

Street fighter 5, take two.

 

[BennyBlanco]

If they actually make an exclusive, PS4s will be so dirt cheap by the time it releases you really shouldn't be bothered.

 

[Bunta]

How do you manage? It must be so hard.

It's a rough life reading through Sony Pony forums. Y'all can't deny it, we've seen Bish's Sony hat!

Sounds like that guys wet dream but it sounds like a load of bollocks to me.

Well I want to game to run well

Such is the way of fanboyism. The worst of it is being "disappointed" or having "deflated hype" when finding out that it might not be limited to just Playstation. Or any platform for that matter

What ever happened to being excited for the games rather than the clauses and restrictions they might be put under? I would have thought being as multiplatform as possible is more beneficial due to the larger audience and likely revenue, allowing for the justification of greater scope and scale for a game

 

[Arion]

how much do you think mgsv sold so far? did you think it was a wise business move for konami to fund that game along with the creation of the fox engine?

Google is telling me 5 million. As to whether it's worth it for Konami, I don't know. Fox engine is also being used for PES and was used for Silent Hills. If Konami stuck with console games production maybe it would be worth it in the long run. But the fact still stands that Kojima's name alone sells games. So it's very much possible that, when Kojima was fired, Sony or other publishers went to him to strike up a partnership or a deal.

Well MGSV on PS4 was 60fps

Kojima is the last person I would expect to release a broken, bad running game.

[Ostinatto]

Who the fuck is Nacho Requena?

 

[timetokill]

Hopefully he's not shackled to Sony hardware. That would be a real shame.

Also, lol at trying to put him in the same level as Miyamoto. too funny.

 

[Son of Flounder]

Awesome news, can't wait to see what Kojima does without the shackles of Konami.

Obviously Konami will never part with their IP's but just as bad is that the Fox Engine will likely never be used again, it deserves to be used by KojiPro.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

If his next game is Sony exclusive there will be salt for sure.

But if the game is a Microsoft exclusive... mountains of salt.

And if the game is a Nintendo exclusive... ultimate meltdown of salt.

What if his next game's for iOS/Android?

 

[Nirolak]

I'd be surprised if they used an existing engine instead of building their own. That just seems to be what makes them most comfortable.

Well, they started Fox Engine right after Metal Gear Solid 4 came out, so it might take quite some time to even get back to where they were, much less to whatever the standards are when they launch their next project.

But it's not impossible, yes.

 

[Arion]

If they actually make an exclusive, PS4s will be so dirt cheap by the time it releases you really shouldn't be bothered.

But watching all the Sony fanatics gloat would sour the game no matter how good it is.

but muh list wars

 

[g11]

I love how this rumor evolved.

"Kojima opening studio w/ Sony -> Kojima's next game PS4 exclusive -> Kojima's next game to 'debut' exclusively on PS4 maaaayyyybeeeee-> Kojima working on game for PS4 and similar consoles"

Fucking Google Translate could have translated it better. Fuck the internet.

 

[protomouse]

Your point being? It doesn't refute what I said.

My point being not about what benefits Sony/MS/Nintendo, but what benefits me as a gamer.

 

[firelogic]

I know right. Kojima is far superior to Miyamoto.

 

[razgriz417]

What if he did that ZoE game that he teased but under a different name?

Spoiler

I would go ape shit.

He'd have to for sure, but yeah that would be my most anticipated game easily. Xenoblade is giving a taste of a mecha game but it just isn't the same

 

[Fat4all]

But watching all the Sony fanatics gloat would sour the game no matter how good it is.

If internet communities soured game experiences for me, I would've given up MGS and Super Smash Bros years ago.

 

[privitsan02]

Was hoping Microsoft would land a deal here.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

My point being not about what benefits Sony/MS/Nintendo, but what benefits me as a gamer.

You still suggested for companies to keep out because of what benefits "[you] as a gamer," to which I responded that they would not do that. What benefits me is the product I want releasing on the console I own, so if at the very least his next game comes out for PS4, whether it's exclusive or not, then I don't care about any other ports. But I would never mind if it was multiplatform, as there would be no reason to be upset over such a thing.

 

[ZarKryn7]

Do you or anyone else really think that after all that time at Konami he wants to develop a successor for an IP he did not invent in the first place???

If I was at a certain company for all my life and left (or: was left), then I'd like to do something completely new, something that wasn't possible before. The last thing I would do is continuing somebody else's work. Okay, I would make an exception for Kaz.

Dude. I was playing along just like everyone was. smh

 

[Kyoufu]

Was hoping Microsoft would land a deal here.

Why would you want that. Look at how Tomb Raider went for them.

 

[Celestial Mortal]

So P.T with a new name in collaboration with Del Toro to debut as a PS4 exclusive?

 

[dabig2]

Was hoping Microsoft would land a deal here.

Yeah, then again, he probably wants to sell games in his homeland.

 

[Fat4all]

So P.T with a new name in collaboration with Del Toro to debut as a PS4 exclusive?

Dunno if my greasy heart could take it.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Literally no one involved was hoping this

Well the translation of the article provided by a member doesn't clear out thing anyway. It just mention by name SCE and Playstation and say that Kojima is having discussions about having their game debut on Playstation. Nowhere it says "first", "exclusive", etc etc, to me it seems like how usually japanese news report gaming related news, for them there are only 2 platforms when it comes to consoles "Sony" and "Nintendo" , I remember Nikkei doing the same thing with other games they announce Like resident evil or something like that.

 

[entremet]

For the meltdowns.

What else?

 

[DannyDanger]

I find it all a bit baffling to be honest.

When you think about how much freedom sony gives its studios, its not hard to understand why ppl would want him there. Also his largest fanbase is on Playstation, thats not even a question at this point

The scenarios are:

A. Go to a 3rd party publisher like activision/ea/ubisoft. Where he might fall into another konami situation

B. Go to MS/Nintendo and leave his biggest fanbase (playstation) in the dust

C. Go independent, and not have the money to make a bigger budget game

 

[privitsan02]

Why would you want that. Look at how Tomb Raider went for them.

Just for the salt. I'd rather he go third party and release on all platform if you want an honest opinion from me.

Best wishes.
