The speed of all this happening makes me think that this new franchise is something Kojima has been cooking up for years.

Boom.
Holy shit not even saving an announcement like that for E3, even if it were just a screen with a title and trotting out Kojima.
Someone did link that podcast that claimed this. Playstation Nation was it?

No, you should wait until a PC version is announced. The term merely implies that a PC version is possible, not that it's guaranteed. While it's certainly probable, there's really no point in getting your hopes up until a PC version is announced—if that is indeed the case.
I think it's all three. Playstation and PC seems to be the most profitable and safe release plan for games right now since porting between the two is easy and they both have large, active bases. It definitely makes it easier for Sony to keep something off competitor consoles by allowing it.

Is there any reason why his new game, or as they refer to it, "new franchise", wouldn't be the natural evolution of P.T.?
also, I'm assuming Sony is putting down big bucks for this arrangement, wouldn't expect anything else with Kojima.

i see a microscope, a globe holding apparatus, and a knight's or spartan's helmet. With a homo sapien(maybe?) skull encased inside. Pretty cool.

It's messy, but I think this might mean that they're using Unreal Engine 4 for their next game:
While I think they will use Unreal Engine 4, basically what the job post says is that they want their game designers to have experience scripting gameplay logic with a modern engine workflow (like the ones in Unreal and Unity).

Forgot to say, fuck you Konami.
I laughed way hard than I should've.
Perhaps its like a Titanfall scenario.
Sony funds the first, but the subsequent titles are multiplat.

What I learned here is to always believe in Mark Cerny
Mark Cerny is the lead architect of the PS4 - leads to the second coming of the PS2
Mark Cerny meets with Yu Suzuki - We get Shenmue 3
Mark Cerny meets with Kojima - Now he is partnering with PlayStation
Now somebody tell Sony to send Cerny to meet with Activision so he can save Crash Bandicoot and than send him to Valve to meet with Gabe and give everyone Half Life 3.
All hail Mark Cerny
Not sure if you know this, but Cerny produced the PS1 Crash Games when he worked at Universal Interactive Studios. He's worked exclusively with (but not part of) Sony ever since Universal ended their contract with Naughty Dog and Insomniac.

Very Exciting News!

Wonder if he will comment on leaving his FOX engine behind. If his studio ends up using unreal engine 4, that speaks a lot about the versatility of that engine.
They need to hire staff now, not six months from now.

"Sony doesn't pay for exclusives".
Damn, he's got that escaped POW look. Like the vacation Konami gave him was actually just an offshore black site where they tortured him for a while.
I'm not his biggest fan as of late, but no one deserves the shit Konami doled out to him. Good to see he's got something lucrative to get him started on his independent venture.

Awesome! Glad he landed on his feet. Hopefully he's not a broken vessel of a man like Itagaki
I'm kind of hoping this next title is a HUGE departure from Metal Gear Solid, as far as genre and story are concerned. I don't want a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid. I'll take a spiritual successor to Snatcher though

With the talk of franchises I'm expecting something more mainstream than horror.
Nonetheless I really hope they work on a Silent Hills revival too.

Their website is already the most Kojima ass thing ever. Can't wait. Guess they already have something in mind...

It's messy, but I think this might mean that they're using Unreal Engine 4 for their next game #RIPFOXEngine:
Said it on the previous page, but I'll repeat: don't read too much into it. The reason they're asking for experience with either Unreal or Unity is because they want a designer who has experience using a robust editor suite and possibly mild programming experience in a scripting language.
They obviously aren't planning to build the game simultaneously in both Unreal and Unity.
Doesn't SF5 contradict that?
Sony provided funding for console exclusivity.
Or rather, console exclusivity was the result of development aid.

Yeah, it was PSNation. I wasn't sure if they were saying it was supposed to be a part of PSX or if someone told them that this news would be happening.

This is the real ace up Sony's sleeve this gen: bringing legendary Japanese Devs back to life and promoting modernized Japanese gaming in general. The abandoning of support for Japanese games in gen 7 in favor of "western style" games was a huge mistake that the core gaming market took note of. I am just glad that they learned from their mistakes.

anyone else reading the cryptic text in blue at the site ?
Would you still need staff while you're in the preproduction phase?
Reading in between the lines
First on PS4: play first on PS4, other platforms come later.
PS4 console exclusive, likely PS4/PC as this rules out XBO, can launch simultaneously.
We might be in for a Space sci-fi franchise.

The video was so well done. Makes Sony seem human. And makes you root for Kojima.
Well, it was more of a "we'll give you money to develop the game" and not timed exclusivity when it comes to street fighter.
I don't think SFV is ever coming to Xbox One.

I guess I'm getting a PS4 next year.
