Love to see it.

Glad SIE seems to be spending more time in Asia and with Japanese developers. I hope it means Ryan/Hulst finally see the importance of that market.

Tears of joy from one side of the fense, and the other side filled with salty, bitter tears.

Kojima was always a Playstation guy and this surprises no one with the exception of the vocal minority in forums that don't own a Playstation. I guess they will go back to hating Kojima again.

True, for a time I think he was renegotiating that deal with Sony as this is still a business and maybe they wanted to see how that whole FTC thing would play out before showing their hand, I wouldn't be shocked if they held back a number of announcements based on that deal. At the same time that deal likely put pressure on them to secure DS2 knowing they had a uphill battle this gen.

So I wonder when Sony buys this actual studio and maybe they plan to based on how well DS2, all I know that all sequels by Kojima have been fucking epic, ZOE2, MGS2, I expect Kojima things with this one lol

They didn't have to 'Secure' DS2 at all...Sony owns the IP lol...
However I definitely agree that Sony is holding back several announcements and likely acquisitions until the dust settles on MS/Acti,time will tell.

So what happened to Overdose? Was that ever real? Are they working on multiple projects?

Yes to questions 2 and 3.

As for what happened, Kojima probably won't begin full development on it until DS2 releases. They already said it's not coming any time soon.

Worded poorly, I mean more so getting Kojima's team on board to do a sequel.

Like how they own Bloodborne, but would need From Soft (or would strong want them) to do a sequel or something. Like a deal to have them work on it

Kojima stated that he was working on multiple projects. One is a AAA big title, that is Death Stranding 2 with Sony and an other is a smaller experimental game, that is probably Overdose and it's the cloud game that he's working on with Microsoft.

DS2 has probably been in development for a couple years at this point... So don't think this had anything to do with Microsoft.

Kojima has said he wants to stay independent despite the offers he has received.

I wonder how many people bought DS based on the Kojima hype and it being a Sony produced game only to find it as a walking sim and will balk at DS2

zoe2 isn't a kojima sequel. in fact, they didn't even use 2 of his pitches for story.

—Does this stance differ from the first Zone of Enders, where you were also Producer?

Kojima: I deliberately put some space between me and everyone this time. Ultimately, I feel the game design part of the development should be done by the game designers. If I start tinkering with the work they've done it would be weird. I did ask what their intentions and ideas were, but I didn't know what was really going on. If I had started meddling there, it would be like punching holes in the foundation of a building. "This column looks funky—take it out!" And then the whole thing collapses. I did a little meddling in the first Zone of Enders, unfortunately, but this time I was resolved not to. Well… I did speak up a bit there at the end of the development. (laughs)

That's why my work for Anubis was mainly macro level: I decided the overall direction and appointed staff, added new staff as they were needed, went to E3 to get some good promotion going, invited Kazuma Kaneko as a guest designer, asked GONZO to join and help with the anime, and did other promotion and filming at various game shows… all stuff like that.
