This sounds like Kojima productions going second party or something similar to From Software doing Blodborne or the situation with Freedom Wars. Wich i'm super OK with it.

In the future Kojipro will be able to do games with other companies if they so desire, just like Insomniac.

Anyway this are great news all around, Kojima and co. are free to finally start developing wathever game they so desire.
 
TotalBiscuit is towing a truck full of anti-console salt on Twitter over this. Holy shit.

He's lost it.

I am interested in your steak but your chef sucks and keeps making it on a campstove. Please let someone with a real oven make it.

This dumbass thinks a genius chef needs whiz-bang technology to make a culinary masterpiece?

If this analogy were true, the microwave would be the king of the kitchen.

Total Biscuit is so off-the-rails with PC fanboyism he's completely lost his damn mind and talking absolute nonsense. He really isn't half as smart as he or his fans think he is.
 
Aw, Kojima Productions is trending. Awesome, good for them! Bayo in Smash and Kojima Productions rising from the ashes in one day, what in the hell. I was not expecting this when I woke up this morning!

I'll be curious to see Kojima's actual pull without Metal Gear's legacy. His name has been stapled to that series for so long and vise-versa.
 
Damn, beaten.

This is great. The big three have deep pockets, though "console exclusive" isn't an actual exclusive. Sony should know this but the weiedness with Street Fighter V happened too. Steam and such are a competitor for mindshare and dollars, no question.

I'm hoping for a return to a more story and cutscene-focused style though.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
One dude at Sony was just talking about how Sony is always looking to expand WWS. I think they're waiting for this to drop and they'll make Kojima's new studio the newest member of WWS.
 
So, PT is coming back, right? :p

If Kojima spent any considerable amount of time working on PT I'm sure he'd want to fulfill that vision. As long as he doesn't use any code or assets from whatever he worked on for Hills, he could basically make the same game and call it something else.

Because Silent Hills was and will never be released, there wouldn't be any trademark/copyright infringement if he were to make the same game with Reedus and Del Toro.

Hell, Kojima could just call it Siren

Wait, so if it says coming for PS4, that means we're not going to have to wait for 5 years for this to come out right? Is there any chance that it'll be for PS4 in the same way MGSV was for PS3?

Why is Total Biscuit melting down when there is an article that says Kojima's games are coming to PC and PS4?

Because as soon as he hears the words "Console Exclusive" he has to tell everyone who owns a console that they have low standards and are how they're fucking up his glorious PC experience. I used to really enjoy his videos, until his PC-elitism hit critical levels.

As someone who owns a PC, PS4, Xbone, and WiiU I couldn't be more ecstatic that Kojima happened to land a deal like this. I'll play whatever this turns out to be on whichever platform it lands on (PS4 or PC) because I'm just thrilled that Kojima is going to continue making games.

PSNation rumour has details that seem at odds with each other. I'm doubting Sony actually owns the IP. They just have publishing rights.

Because he's a petulant child? He says platform loyalty is for suckers, but there he is imploding over his perception that this new game isn't coming to his preferred platform. Rather than, you know, being happy for Kojima and looking forward to the new game.

Man, hopefully KojiPro can hook Yoji Shinkaawa. That man deserves more than to do art for pachinko games.

Yeah sounds about right.

Shinkawa will follow Kojima, I don't see him staying.

I'm just picturing his tirade as him going to a buger king and he is throwing a fit because they won't give him a Big Mac.

Grats Kojima, can't wait to see what this new game will be. Is it what Donna Burke was working on? The horror game?

I'm a main PC gamer now, and I'm happy he's working with Sony. It seems like a good fit as I said in the past. He's in Japan, they're in Japan. They have a popular console world wide, he appeals to that audience. Good solid match.

Edit: Oh wow PC too, dang Sony is awesome allowing PC to share the wealth. Wooo!

Edit2: Holy crap, Kojima with a bear looks awesome!
 
I gotta imagine he has to completely start from scratch as anything he thought of previously is owned by Konami. Im sure that means he'll use UE4 or something, but yeah a couple years minimum before a game comes out
