If you're a gamer, there's no excuse to not own a PC.

Other than poverty, of course.

I really don't care if MS does it to I don't own an XB1 and I have no interest in buying one, and even then Spencer stated that they will focus on their IPs. I hope he's not full of shit regarding this.

Exclusives are a big weapon in selling consoles so it doesn't surprise me in the least. Personally, I prefer to let the game do the talking. I won't be backed into a corner forced to buy a console in fear of missing out on a title that has not yet proven worth.

To begin with, buying an XB1 expecting even a decent amount of support was probably not being realistic at all.

If you wanted Japanese games, it was very clear you'd have to look through other avenues to begin with.

Well regardless if it's exclusive or just timed exclusive, I want the Del Toro/Ito collaboration back, with an incredible lightning system.

Also, screw it, PT for PSVR as well. Lets go all the way. Best of luck to Hideo.

People are calling Sony transparency on games wrong? They've been the most open about multiplatform and stuff out of anyone. Are people just coming out the woodwork to get jabs in? What a great time to be gamingbas Kojima being free of Konami is for the best

This. Xbox is only getting JP games that MS is involved with
 
Hey Kojima. Make a omega boost or Syphon Filter game!

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.
 
I don't care much for his games, but it's good to hear that he is finally free from the shithole that is Konami. I feel sorry for all those still working there. Absolutely disgusting Company (don't give a shit about their direction away from gaming, but their treatment of employees is fucking disgusting)

And it's not like it was Sony who approached Kojima for his new game. Just be happy that Kojima is still making games at all.

Yeah, I don't know why this has to be mentioned everytime a japanese game gets announced for PS4.

It may come to PC, very likely, but not to XB1.

Great news!

Port begging has already begun lol.
Xbox Fans already settled on not getting many games but PC Fans sitll thirsty.

How can there be any "port begging" at this point, when the original article already indicates it isn't on a single platform?

Too bad he can't take the Fox Engine with him.

To think they worked a lot of years on that just for Konami to use it for futbol games, which don't even reach half the potential the engine has (from what I saw of PT).
 
i wonder how long he'll take to get an engine up and running or will he just end up using UE4. either way. a long way before a game does come out. but good to know he's back (y)
