Crazy. Exciting!

 

[LongDongJunon]

That looks awesome for a studio logo !

This is great news that Sony stated this the moment they could; shows hope that his next project ends up being a great success and I can't wait to see its announcement.

Could see an update on this news with a teaser at E3 2016 and TGS 2016 being where he officially announces the project or something.

I'm not expecting any update for a LOOONG ass time.

 

[Zomba13]

OH MY GOD HE HAS A BEARD

Venom Kojima

 

[robotrock]

HOLY SHIT

 

[androvsky]

This must be the announcement PS Nation said was pulled at the last minute from PSX, they did say we'd hear about it before the end of the year.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

YES!

My god, 2015 was an amazing year.

 

[TatteredHat]

Shit, I am excited.

 

[bigboss370]

holy fuck thats an awesome logo.

Also, again, Kojima lookin damn good with the beard and those threads

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

That's why Konami was removing Koji pro from their games, he will keep the name

 

[Realplumpbox85]

I do not care what he does as long as it is nothing like MGS at all.

 

[Hellsing321]

Console exclusive means a PC version as well most likely. Awesome!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So with Kojima officially gone and MGS V in the wild, what does Konami have left now? Serious question.

Pachinko and spas, which is all they care about anyway.

 

[Chuck]

gat daym

 

[TrojanBlade]

Awesome news for PS owners )) ... Teaser at E3???

 

[Balmung421]

DAMN

He looks good with that beard. Love that logo for his studio. Gimmie your next game soon, Kojima!

 

[Anth0ny]

the year of dreams keeps on giving

what a time to be alive

thank you based sony

 

[hateradio]

OH MY GOD HE HAS A BEARD

Sexy, isn't it?

 

[bananafactory]

Ok Sony, now get Del Toro on the fucking phone and bring him back in with Kojima

 

[itchyass86]

I hope that he's making a new stylish IP with mechs called:

End of Zoners

 

[Digital-Hero]

A big win for PlayStation.

 

[punkmaggit]

This is so amazing.

Perfect.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Venom Kojima

I am ashamed of my words and deeds.

 

[Lasthope106]

Good luck Kojima San. Can't wait to see what you create next!

 

[Kuldar]

Now it's time to make this P.T. game.

 

[The God]

That logo hard as bricks.

 

[Tamanon]

Please make a mecha game with a MGS style story.

 

[Tiktaalik]

haha only the other day I was musing with my friends whether we had seen the last of the big budget, ultra polished kojima games. Looks like we'll keep getting more

 

[DannyDanger]

As if 2015 wasn't already amazing enough

 

[Backfoggen]

So with Kojima officially gone and MGS V in the wild, what does Konami have left now? Serious question.

PES.

 

[Necrovex]

Glad to see Kojima will finally get to work on a IP that isn't Metal Gear related (since Silent Hills wasn't close to finished, I'm discounting that). Great end of the year news!

 

[neogaffer1]

Good on Kojima.
Has to suck to be in Phil Spenser's shoes right now...

i doubt phil spencer could've gotten kojima even if they tried as hard as sony did and had twice the money as sony to spend. kojima isn't an idiot; his fanbase is on sony consoles and his games don't sell that great on xbox consoles, even when they have mass appeal.

 

[Syf]

hell yeah, can't wait to hear more about it

 

[Japanmanx3]

That logo is beyond dope. Bearded Koji. Yes.

 

[HabeeNo]

Keanu Kojima

HAHAHAHAHA

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Well damn, that was fast.

Excite

 

[Loxley]

Man, talk about a huge get for Sony. Love that new logo.

 

[Rozart]

What a crazy year 2015 has been. Always looking forward to anything by Kojima!

This year has really been the Year of Dreams (tm).

 

[davidwhangchoi]

confirmed:

I am happy to let you know that I have established my own independent studio TODAY

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Honestly, that was kind of hard to watch. Even though a good chunk of Kojima's work has been exclusive to Sony, this is new; he's no longer with Konami. It's a new beginning, but all beginnings can be tough and full of unknown. And, I can't shake the feeling he got a raw deal from the Pachinko makers that Konami had become. It just feels sad.

I wish Kojima the best in all he does and I hope he continues to make amazing games.

 

[ZarKryn7]

HOLY SHIT!!!!

 

[RandomExpletive]

Ok, first of all, HOLY FUCK THAT IS THE TIGHTEST LOGO I'VE SEEN IN YEARS

Second... well no that was mainly it.

I hope he's not too worn-out from dealing with Konami to apply himself to his new project, but maybe thats how he works best.

God speed you beautiful bastard, I eagerly await e3

 

[aspiegamer]

This has to have been in the works for quite some time if the press release was ready to go pretty much the instant Konami was officially done with him. Suggests he's pitched something that sounds very favorable for Sony if they've been working this quickly.

 

[A-V-B]

I already said what it is. It is dope. What else do you need? :O

KojiPro's US presence in Colorado confirmed

 

[Northeastmonk]

Konami might as well open up a cocktail bar in NYC. Awesome news to hear. I hope we see an announcement sometime soon. Silent Hills was such a huge loss and this is like a revelation or new beginning to that whole situation. Silent Hills being marketed with MGSV was perfect, Konami was at the top, and it ended when they let Kojima go. This might be the best thing period and I have more ambition to buy his next game.

 

[Cartman86]

What a weird time we live in. Probably the past 10 or so years have just been full of weird stuff that you either didn't think would happen or just happen far faster and more public than they used to.

 

[v1lla21]

Kojima in the fucking house! Fill up the bathtubs boys. We are living in a wet dream!!

 

[dragonflys545]

So many threads! This is like crazy!!!! NEW IP! Gimme dat NEW IP!

 

[plasmawave]

Kojima looks so different now

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Sweet

Kojima looks so different now

-A Hero, haunted by his past-

 

[Stiler]

Please tell me that this doesn't mean the games aren't coming out on pc?

I mean, I get that Sony wants exclusives, but why do studios have to drag PC into the mess? You can still release on one console and maintain "exclusivness" while still releasing on the pc and getting even more sales from both sides.

Seems rather stupid to limit it to a one console and knock pc players out as well.
