Support NeoGAF

[SolVanderlyn]

From coming up with an idea to assembling a team, you really need about a year to prep, he explained. “Currently, we have a webpage and a logo and are in a temporary workspace.” Setting up the basic studio infrastructure takes time, and Kojima Productions is still in its hiring and setting up shop phase. That doesn’t mean Kojima has ceased creating.

Famitsu asked if he had come up with a design plan for his game. “It’s a great game,” Kojima replied. “Currently,” he continued, “I’m coming up with the plot, the characters and the game system and whatnot. Since there are substantially new elements [in the game concept], we have to test and try things out. It’s not like I’m just thinking about this in my head. While we’re testing things, I’m having Shinkawa draw characters and rough illustrations.

Seems like a whole lot of almost-nothing, but it's... something. Interesting to note is that he mentions not having a game engine yet. Is he going to develop a new one again??

 

[LewieP]

"Great"?

Sold.

 

[the_batman]

yeah.. don't expect this "great game" to be out until 2020.

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

"Great"?

Sold.

That's gonna be great.

 

[peaceiscloser]

"Great"?

Solid.

Fixed

 

[Asd202]

Yeah this game will come out at the end of PS4 life cycle maybe.

 

[Marvel]

"Great"?

Hai.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

“It’s a great game,” Kojima replied. “Currently,” he continued, “I haven't built any of it yet, though."

FIFY

 

[ChaosSmurf]

Yeah this game will come out at the end of PS4 life cycle maybe.

So November this year?

 

[Mathezar]

I look forward to be ashamed by my words and deeds.

 

[Resilient]

yeah.. don't expect this "great game" to be out until 2020.

Great post.

 

[ActWan]

Old news.

 

[Spring Drive]

How long did it take between Respawn Entertainment being a thing and Titanfall being released?

 

[the_batman]

How long did it take between Respawn Entertainment being a thing and Titanfall being released?

that's probably different since they had EA backing them.

Sony's backing Kojima.

yeah but by how much? isn't KojiPro still independent?

 

[duckroll]

"I haven't made the game yet, there are things we're still testing and don't know if they'll work, but trust me, this is a great game!"

that's probably different since they had EA backing them.

Sony's backing Kojima.

 

[Aters]

He writes and directs his own AAA game and he's also designing the gameplay. A true legendary game developer.

 

[Zero Spooks]

Great game awaits

 

[Keyser Soze]

 

[D4Danger]

It’s a great game.

8/10 confirmed. no buy.

 

[juicyfruitas]

Yeah this game will come out at the end of PS4 life cycle maybe.

PS5.5 methinks

 

[Alienous]

If Kojima tells me he has a great game I'll believe him.

He writes and directs his own AAA game and he's also designing the gameplay. A true legendary game developer.

But he only does one of those things well.

 

[Morat]

I mean, I hope it ends up being good, but come on.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

As far as I am concerned, he has not released a truly good game since MGS3, so I'll be waiting for more information, gameplay, etc.

Sorry Koji, MGS4 and MGS5 left me disappointed. GZ was nice, but it was more like a demo.

 

[duckroll]

yeah but by how much? isn't KojiPro still independent?

They're backing this particular project, so they're probably paying for most of it? They'll be publishing it on Playstation platforms, and it's a console exclusive for Playstation, while KojiPro gets to publish it digitally on PC.

 

[Raynes]

ok... Nothing to discuss then?
OH RIGHT HIDEO THREAD! Begin the carnival my friends.

 

[Acquiescence]

"Great"?

Sold.

Grrrrrr...

...eat.

 

[Pinewood]

that's probably different since they had EA backing them.

Its probably different since Respawn knew what they wanted to do

 

[m4st4]

yeah.. don't expect this "great game" to be out until 2020.

PS4.5K

 

[duckroll]

Its probably different since Respawn knew what they wanted to do

Release a barebones and under-supported multiplayer only shooter to a limited userbase crippled by Xbox exclusivity on console and Origin exclusivity on PC?

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

So still in concept and prototyping phases. This will either be a small indie-sized game, or it won't come out earlier than 3-4 years.

 

[Pinewood]

Release a barebones and under-supported multiplayer only shooter to a limited userbase crippled by Xbox exclusivity on console and Origin exclusivity on PC?

At least they released it.

I dont see how it was under-supported, considering they kept releasing free content after launch. At its core the game was great, the issues with playerbase were unfortunate and partly the publishers/funders were to blame.

Spoiler

we are steering off topic here

 

[unknownstranger]

Still think we're going see at least the concept of what Kojima's working on at E3. He's a too big of name for Sony not to name drop and tease.

 

[Anteater]

Kojima replied. “Currently,” he continued, “blah blah blah blah I’m having Shinkawa draw characters and rough illustrations."

sold

Id put my money on TGS tbh. E3 next year when they have something more to show.

 

[Surface of Me]

MGSV is a masterpiece. I believe in Kojima. Imma have to get a PS4 eventually

 

[takriel]

Hai.

 

[ugly]

Shinkawa boiiiii

 

[*Splinter]

2 threads in as many days... Is he overhyping his non existant game or are we just getting a disproportionate amount of representation on GAF?

(That's not a complaint at either OP, just wondering if it's a coincidence or Kojima is about to Romero himself)

 

[samar11]

Why is this coming to PC if Sony is paying for it ? Sony makes their money from software that comes to their platform. Are they getting a share of the profit from pc as well ?

 

[Dragon1893]

So November this year?

Oh, you.

But yeah, don't hold your breath for this. I have to admit I'm curious to see how much he will leave his comfort zone.

 

[Ratrat]

Didn't we have this thread already? Might have been a different interview but he is saying the same thing. They don't even have a proper office yet. This is waaaay out.

 

[OBias]

Interesting to note is that he mentions not having a game engine yet. Is he going to develop a new one again??

I hope he'll just pick UE4 so we won't have to wait for half a decade again to play his new game.

 

[Mr. RHC]

"Great"?

Hai.

 

[NightShift]

Hyping up a game that he hasn't even finished coming up with the concept for. It's going to be a long next few years.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Hyping up a game that he hasn't even finished coming up with the concept for. It's going to be a long next nine years.

Fixed.

 

[Pinewood]

Hyping up a game that he hasn't even finished coming up with the concept for. It's going to be a long next few years.

Do you even MGS-GAF?

 

[Corpekata]

"information"

About the only thing this contains is that the game will in fact, have characters and a plot.

 

[entremet]

I mean, I hope it ends up being good, but come on.

Was waiting for this.

 

[Wollan]

Expecting this to be a 2020 release on PS4K/PS5/PC. It's Kojima so this will be good but no need to dive into any hype at this point.

 

[PhantomDoor]

Id put my money on TGS tbh. E3 next year when they have something more to show.

I'd say teaser at PSX myself
