I'd say the situations are entirely different. Unlike SFV, where the biggest chunk of its fans are on PlayStation anyway, Tomb Raider was bound to sell much lower than previous versions because there is no PlayStation version, yet (where, again, the majority of its fans are). A Kojima game will, most likely, do better in the East and EU (PlayStation dominated territories).

Nintendo guy here, but I have to say it: Sony is really nailing it this gen. Congrats, Playstation fans.
That logo will look much better later, it's pretty much just a vector file right now...
The font is horrific, though.

The thing with TB, I like the guy, but I know he wouldn't be saying the same things if it was PC only.

I'm also basing this on terms used by Sony themselves. "Console Exclusive". Why specifically say that if it was just a PS4 title?
Correction Tomb Raider exclusivity was the worst thing that happened to Tomb Raider apparently.

Man, it's bizzare some of the stuff you guys post regarding platform begging.
It's not a one console future. SONY and Microsoft are competitive.
If you care that much buy both, support both.
Anyways
I am so happy for Kojima!

Paying to get a game made and paying to keep it off a competitors consoles are two different things and the latter is far worse. This idea that they're the same needs to stop because it's tiresome. If you don't understand the difference, you need to stop talking about it.

But they will have betrayed their overlords if they do that.
Honestly, I'm surprised it took 19 pages

The best part about this deal is that it seems like much if not all of Kojipro will be salvaged. They are extremely talented and It was really shitty how they got fucked over by kojima-konami feud. In the age when games like fallout 4/Arkham knight/Just cause exist, I still can't believe how evenly good looking and performing MGS V is on all platforms. Shame about that engine which is going to be used for pachinko machines now.

If the platform is not worth the ROI why should the company make the game for it .
Or if the platform holding is funding why should someone be angry ?
Who will own the IP?
If Kojima, then I imagine it comes to PC (and he prolly does own it)
If Sony, then it won't (see Bloodborne)
The examples you gave Sony doesn't own the IP
Very nice that Sony acted as fast in this one. People need to slow down with the port begging as well... This game won't be out for another 2-3 years, if you don't own a PS4 by then after all what is announced its your fault.
I really doubt that Sony will own the IP... Doubt Kojima would be interested in such a deal after Konami more or less took MGS from him.

A beard doesn't make someone look terrible, it makes them look awesome.
This is what I'm thinking, or along that line.
They are not even remotely the same. Please read up on these deals a bit more.

This is great news. Really looking forward to the game.
Don't know why people keep bringing up XBO in the topic. The man is a newly started high profile Japanese developer. If he decides to go anywhere it's probably with Sony since they have the resources and don't mind a PC-port. Microsoft isn't relevant in his home territory.

He wouldn't say a word if it was PC exclusive. He paid lipservice in a tweet reply about XCOM2, but I don't remember him making near the amount of stink about that game's exclusivity as he is about this situation. Particularly about a game that you know, doesn't even exist.

Good point, but so far, going to other platforms is looking like a pipe dream. I think the reason the project is even happening is because its exclusive. But all things eventually come to PC, and the reaper, of course

Why do we have to blame people for port begging when Sony make such an ambiguous terms in the first place?
There won't be port begging if they have the guts to do what should've been done. Make it clear at the first place.

Seriously, shut the hell up about the exclusivity. Nobody's going to give Kojima a giant bunch of money to make his first multiplat AAA game in his first independent studio. It was either gonna be MS or Sony for a AAA game, or independent funding for an indy mobile game.
I'm glad Kojima didn't go the mobile games route.

This is kinda how I feel. I'd really love to see him get back with Del Torro and even the guy who plays Daryl in Walking Dead (who I forget his real life name) and do something similar to what they were planning. Ok, I admit it, I just want the game P.T. was teasing.

I love that they did an announcement video for this! I look forward to whatever Kojima puts out. Best of luck to everyone involved

Very true. Totally forgot about Bloodborne. It would be still be sloppy of Sony to use that term if that isn't what they meant.
That's not even what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about, like, accountants and testers and other functional staff in the US office.
All of them had horror stories about how they were treater, how unethical the company was, etc.
Yeh, he even leads in Tokyo Game Show, very skilled man (and hes British, go british!!).
On topic, this announcement doesn't surprise me at all. Kojima is PlayStation, and the guys at Sony were clearly going to talk to him about his next plans.
Now just BUY the rights to Silent Hills and get on with that. Surely Konami are looking at selling it, or at the least licensing it, they dont make games anymore.

I doubt MS would have been an option, but hey, you never know. I figured he'd partner with a Japanese company, though, and considering their history, Sony definitely made a lot of sense!

I'm 1st a PC gamer, and then console second, and I think he really needs to lay the fuck off the salt. He needs to calm the fuck down and probably sleep on it. I'm sure it will eventually be on PC, especially if it's only a console exclusive (it doesn't say exclusive to the PS4).

You say that as if announcing it as a complete PS4 exclusive wouldn't have resulted in a mountain of salt and a sea of port-begging posts.
Like I said earlier, I wouldn't agree with it still, but at least wait until we get confirmation on the PC stuff before launching a tirade. Hell, maybe it's going to be exclusive for a "good" reason, like integrating into PSVR.
Its face expression. He looks sad/awkward. I dont know. I imagine the last few months, hell, YEARS working with Konami have been rough.

That was fast, partnership, website, logo, just one day after he left Konami. Best of luck to him and looking forward to see what he does next.
No one should give Konami a fucking dime. That would only reward their behavior.
Also, you don't fund games with budgets like Kojima's for licensed games, you do it to create new licenses to leverage yourself.
Let him make new awesome shit, and just remember what those IPs once were.
