Given Kojima had a logo, a hiring plan, and Sony partnership ready to go the second his split with Konami was officially I'd imagine whatever this project is the pre-production is done or mostly done.
Teaser - E3 2016
Official Reveal - TGS or PSX 2016
Release Window - Holiday 2017 to Q2 2018

El torro needs to put a signature at the end of his work XD
Heh I remember that one author, Che Chu I think his name was... he'd dole out 9s and 10s to the most mediocre and forgettable 360 launch games... last I heard he ended up working on the Forza games for MS
Last gen with the 360 getting popular, you had a number of the games press overinflate MS scores in hopes of getting a job where they could lout their dreams of working in the industry.

Paying more to get better experience really is not that "definitive" imo.

Yup, those 'definitive' posts are so irritating. You see them in literally every thread about a pc/console game. I don't know if gaf was always this way, but it's getting ridiculous. There are other places on the Internet where people can find an audience for claiming the superiority of one platform over the other.

the info is already out there, people here will just go to that topic
i don't think sony would retroactively go back on that and just deny a pc version when the press release indicates that it is "console exclusive", which always implies pc too

Dam it is a good time to be a gamer. 2016 will be fucking nuts! Imagine if Sony announces Crash and The Last of Us 2 at E3!!

PC versions are better by default thanks to the open nature of the platform and brute force of hardware.
But it will come to PC if they aren't exclusive to PS4. Anything else is throwing money in the garbage. Developers know this, this is how the modern industry is.
Like with SF5, i'm assuming that either Sony does not even see encroaching threat from PC with the eagerness to sign deals like this, or they do, and need to do more to court developers allying themselves to them.
Either way, the deal reached where they fund the game is great for supporting devs, Nintendo having done the same thing with Bayonetta is proof franchises can live in this manner

PSNation which was the first site to break the news confirmed a PC release too. And I mean, "console exclusive" is pretty much self explanatory.
The lengths some of you will go.
oh come on. how many real games sony published on PC?
Just this month, this happened:
Helldivers
And Everybody's Gone To The Rapture is now on SteamDB, looking like it could also follow suit. Not exactly "real games" perhaps, but the precedent is there and very recent. I don't expect them to do anything other than such 3rd party efforts. Having said that, if there isn't as much of a tie between this new game from KojiPro and Sony, I don't see why they won't just self-publish as most devs do.

It's so weird seeing positive news being attached to Hideo Kojima for a change.

But still way too early I think. Especially if you look at the track record of Kojima. Sure, Sony will help him and the engine will probably be an existing one, but setting up a studio etc will take time.
I hope Sony doesn't do a 'No Man's Sky' on this game and show it at every conference for years and years.

Guys, I might rightly assume that the Fox Engine is proprietary technology of Konami now.
Meaning that uncle Kojima and his chums will have to create a new engine for their game or otherwise use UE4. If the former is the case, then I don't think that we'll see anything more than a tease for his new IP in 2016. I see the former scenario being a fat chance, because that'll cost them oodles of money and time.....

Not surprised that Sony-GAF is cheering that The One is missing out on this game.
I've noticed an interesting trend with Kojima's games and gaf. Take a look at the following list of all games made by him:
Metal Gear Solid - Playstation exclusive - loved by gaf
Metal Gear Solid 2 - Available on Xbox and PC aside from Playstation - Hated by gaf
Metal Gear Solid 3 - Playstation exclusive - loved by gaf
Metal Gear Solid 4 - Playstation exclusive - won GOTY twice
Metal Gear Solid V - Available on Xbox and PC aside from Playstation - Hated by gaf
New Kojima game - Playstation exclusive - eagerly anticipated by gaf.
I wonder how many so called "fans" really care about this game for its own sake..

Helldivers is the realest game there is.
I don't think MGS2 is hated nearly as much as MGS4 on GAF, and MGS1 was also on PC.

Do we know how many from the former Koji Pro staff have followed or will follow him to his new studio? The people who worked with him played a great part in how good his games actually turned out. It would make sense to take some of these essential key people to the studio.

I also see them in every thread about console games on multiple platforms, weirdly enough no one seems to care as long as the beastly PS4 ends up on top. Like, let's turn every Tomb Raider thread into how we're all gonna wait for the assuredly superior PS port but ohfuckshit, someone mentioned PC, get that smug motherfucker!
Then why even bring it to PC? When this game comes out in a few years gaming computers will have moved even farther ahead, they'd have to willfully limit that version and I don't see it happening.

I haven't read all 60-something pages of this thread, but goddamn, stop with the console warz nonsense and be happy that Hideo Kojima is in the games making business again.

MGSV is divisive, but there are far too many people who love the game and consider it a classic to say it's universally "hated" around here. Ditto for MGS2
BennyBlanco

Ok I just read it again and my statement still stands. If Sony releases the exact same game on both platforms the PC version will be better by virtue of what I said. Unless you're suggesting they'll intentionally sabotage the PC version of the game they probably aren't even publishing on PC themselves.
Either way I don't wanna derail the thread, I'm not a platform warrior I like my ps4 too. Just thought you were genuinely asking why that would be the case.

Maybe move everything by a year is more realistic.
Unless Kojima making dating sim, which might comes quicker.
Their new website says "From sapiens to Ludens"
Ludens according to Wiki are a humanoid race in the fictional Noon Universe created by the brothers Boris and Arkady Strugatsky. They appear principally in the novel "The Time Wanderers". The name "Luden" is probably a reference to Homo Ludens, a 1938 book by Johann Huizinga, and the Russian term lyudi (люди
, "people". The term "Luden" is also an anagram to "Nelud" - "inhuman" in Russian.
If this has anything to do with their next IP, it sounds like they might be some sort of time jumping mechanic involved. Cannot wait to find out more and soo happy that Kojima is already up and running with a new studio. So glad that Sony is backing him. I was wondering where he would get the money to start this new venture and there is no doubt in my mind that whatever he does next will be amazing.
Has anyone figured out yet what his new logo is? It kind of looks like a Knight's helmet but with a futuristic design with a skull inside.

It's not up to Sony, they likely juey paid less so that Kojima Productions could publish it on PC rather than having full exclusive rights.
People in this thread seem to believe that Sony are letting these games come to PC out of the goodness of their heart, when the reality is its the financial agreement that only reaches as far as the console versions. If they wanted full exclusivity, then they would have had to invest more into the development.

I'm happy that it exists at all. Just coming to PlayStation wouldn't have hurt anything. As with any exclusive - Want the game? Buy whatever it's available on.
