If he's locked down to Sony forever it's literally the dumbest move he could make. Why would you leave out PC/Xbox fans (especially PC)?
I'm not sure you know what actually defines AAA. None of these titles had anywhere near the budgets of a Call of Duty or Uncharted.
Tearaway was made by about 5 people. That's 100% not AAA no matter where you want to move the goal posts. Until Dawn isn't AAA either.
What I mean is that Sony has been closing studios and reducing the number of employees in currently owned studios in the last 3 years.
That's all public knowledge.
Console exclusivity would be terrible for a game that someone the calibre of Kojima is likely to create. I don't see why so many are viewing that as a positive when the only beneficiary is a company, not the people who love video games.
Wow, the salt is already strong and it is not even confirmed
Yes but those come with strings attached. He has historically blown out budgets and taken an incredibly long time to develop games. The likelihood that either publisher will give him full creative freedom and a new studio with this setup is really unlikely.
I think people are just getting too excited and not looking at the reality of the situation. He isn't good at running a development team. He struggles to hit budgets/timelines and feature creep is very prevalent. Besides Konami sucking, there are reasons they have had strained relations for years.
If he is given a new studio by one of the publishers they will have him on a really, really tight leash. Your best hope should be that he joins and takes some sort of creative adviser role.
His only chance of actually running his own studio with minimal interference is as an independent, but getting funding would be difficult because of the reasons I laid out.
Damn the salt is starting to get out of control. The thread on /v/ is full of it as well. Sadly I know his next game will be ready in like 4-5 years... meh I hope it ended up being PS4 swan song and not just another cross generation game like MGS V.
I hope no one ever EVER takes career advice from you.Yeah because the guys totally struggling/will struggle for money

Based from posts in here ... Some don't have anyAre there even people out there who don't have three or four PS4s in their household?

I would love for him to just be able to do whatever he wants.
Want to make a PSVR game? Go for it?
Want to try to resurrect P.T. in some form? Go for it?
Want to revive an old IP? Go for it.
I think Sony would give him that freedom.
Ono? Is that you?I dunno what everyone is so upset about. Ps4 is on sale now for 299!

Sounds like a Soony gameYes but those come with strings attached. He has historically blown out budgets and taken an incredibly long time to develop games. The likelihood that either publisher will give him full creative freedom and a new studio with this setup is really unlikely.

Polygon as a source? Nah, I'll wait for something more reputable.
They'll develop a strikingly similar faux engine.will he be able to use the foxengine? bc that was awesome
Also people talking about respawn are cray. Did you guys forget the game was a total bomb and almost got cancelled until a platform holder stepped in? Yeah what a model to follow.
Dude couldn't even accept and award. I doubt game engines are on the table.
I think you'll hear something about this much, much, much sooner than E3.
To be fair it's not like Kojima is known for multiplat games.Well, yeah. Why would people be cheering for this if he's locked to a platform that they don't own? I'm sure people who mainly game on PS4 are super stoked. Personally I'd prefer if everyone got to play his next game but if the only way to make the game that he wants to make is to get in bed with Sony then that's ok in my book. Also I own a PS4 so it's whatever.
Just as I expected. Kojima is coming home.
will he be able to use the foxengine? bc that was awesome
A Hideo Kojima game does not deserve to be tied to any closed hardware.
I bought MGS5 on PC. The first place I played a MG game is on an MSX emulator. I want Kojima's next game to be on PC so that I don't have to worry about console remasters.Here's some info for you : 72% of customers bought MGSV on Ps4 in UK. 22% on Xbox One
Did I say that xbox owners can't appreciate a Kojima game ? No. But someone who grew up with Xbox didn't grew up with MGS1/2/3 or ZOE when they launched. Kojima fame began on Playstation, so yeah, Kojima is clearly part of the "playstation culture" in a way.
Wow, personal jabs. Kudos!I hope no one ever EVER takes career advice from you.
