Support NeoGAF

[enigmatic_alex44]

Wow that's starting to look a bit outdated.

Remember when we all thought Spirits Within was cutting edge?

 

[orochi91]

Lmao

 

[Raylan]

I’ll keep creating games until the day I die. Rest assured I’m making more games, something more fun, something you haven’t seen, and it would be great if I could count on the fans to support me in this.

 

[Auctopus]

It's all sounding great. Glad it was more answers rather than Mitch Dyer.

 

[Tcab96]

So what are the chances a horror game that isn't SIlent Hill, but similar to PT starring Norman Reedus being made now?

 

[Tesseract]

more edgy skin breathers, breh

 

[-Horizon-]

"I got several offers from many different companies"

Names plz.

Being completely serious.

I love Zone of Enders.

Who doesn't?

 

[Boke1879]

Sony were smart to snatch him up quickly and I kinda figured he would do a smaller scale game. A game where they can focus all their talents and hopefully something that doesn't take too long.

Really can't wait to see what he comes up with. I'm sure he's had tons of ideas swimming around in his head.

He's right though. I'm sure so many different publishers have been giving him offers. I doubt they'll ever lack for work

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Kojima, you are the fucking man. Love what I'm hearing.

 

[ginger ninja]

did yoji just said mech design ?? ZOE successor confirmed you giesss

 

[RoboPlato]

I’ll keep creating games until the day I die. Rest assured I’m making more games, something more fun, something you haven’t seen, and it would be great if I could count on the fans to support me in this.

You have my axe.

 

[funkystudent]

"I got several offers from many different companies"

Names plz.

If every big publisher on the planet didnt send feelers his way I would be shocked.


A name like that doesnt go on the market often.

 

[SolidSnakex]

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

Um, Konami owns Zone of the Enders.

Y'all ain't getting a 3rd game.

 

[The Flash]

And people wonder why he didn't go with Microsoft or Nintendo or whoever

 

[zsynqx]

Aha thanks!

 

[Alienous]

So what are the chances a horror game that isn't SIlent Hill, but similar to PT starring Norman Reedus being made now?

I think Kojima's goal is to establish a flagship IP, one to surpass Metal Gear itself, so that along with his comments regarding wanting to work with Del Toro in the future make me think the horror game is on the backburner.

I'm sort of expecting a Sci-Fi stealth action game now. Metal Gear on future crack.

 

[A-V-B]

Please, just take UE4 and save time.

Basically.

 

[JayEH]

Excited to see what he cooks up. If it's smaller scale we may see it in a couple of years then.

 

[alr1ght]

Mech game, confirmed. Alert Kotaku.

 

[Raylan]

Awwwwww, that's so nice to hear.

 

[Jigorath]

Good relationships go a long way in this business.

 

[Courage]

Um, Konami owns Zone of the Enders.

Y'all ain't getting a 3rd game.

Konami also owns Silent Hill but that doesn't mean we can't see a spiritual successor in the vein of PT.

 

[sora87]

Um, Konami owns Zone of the Enders.

A new mecha IP would be possible, get Makoto Shinkai on board for the eventual anime and opening film for the game.

 

[anexanhume]

Scroll really fast and it looks like he's nodding.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Awesome how candid he was about this and it's how I was thinking it went down as well, too. He will do great things with Sony.

 

[Robot Pants]

Kinda sucks they spent all that time on the fox engine and only got to use it for phantom pain

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Every one thinking rationally knew Sony was the best place for Kojima.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Had yea after the circus of the end of MGS v development I can see how feeling comfortable is very very appealing

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

And people wonder why he didn't go with Microsoft or Nintendo or whoever

People are wondering that?

 

[RyanPierre]

It's a shame the Fox Engine is trapped for eternity with Konami. I think at this point Kojima would be best served with UE4. The time and effort needed to create another engine as impressive as the Fox Engine would be massive and probably more trouble than it'd be worth.

 

[RoboPlato]

Kojima on Sony

These words are very telling. You can tell he wanted to go somewhere he knew he would be respected and valued.

 

[jabuseika]

We’ll be able to do things that are more edgy

Whoa whoa whoa, you mean this whole time Konami was holding him back.

more edgy skin breathers, breh

Even edgier.

 

[Nibel]

And people wonder why he didn't go with Microsoft or Nintendo or whoever

Feels more like a dig at Konami than at those two

 

[JayEH]

Mech game, confirmed. Alert Kotaku.

.

 

[Mulgrok]

I hope he does something completely unlike Metal Gear. Let that series die in peace.

 

[N.Domixis]

if they hurry up and hire people and choose an engine can we expect to be shown something by next e3?

 

[Raist]

Um, Konami owns Zone of the Enders.

Y'all ain't getting a 3rd game.

Well, Sony owns Demon's Souls and From made Dark Souls. Change the name, and voila.

 

[entremet]

Feels more like a dig at Konami than at those two

Same. I doubt any of those two even made any offers, especially Nintendo.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

if they hurry up and hire people and choose an engine can we expect to be shown something by next e3?

No way. E3 2017 maybe...

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Well, Sony owns Demon's Souls and From made Dark Souls. Change the name, and voila.

Ender of Zones

 

[Lys Skygge]

A lot of people assumed he would follow the money. It's nice he chose what he's most comfortable with.

 

[jackissocool]

If every big publisher on the planet didnt send feelers his way I would be shocked.


A name like that doesnt go on the market often.

Literally only Miyamoto would be bigger, I think.

 

[Boke1879]

Just hearing him say "its the kind of environment I need right now" speaks volumes to what it meant for him working at Konami especially in these last years.

 

[dmr87]

Makes sense after everything that went down

Got your back Kojima.

 

[The Flash]

Feels more like a dig at Konami than at those two

For sure but some people in the other Kojima thread aren't pleased that he's making a PS4 exclusive.

 

[AAMARMO]

Hopefully his next game is like ground zero setting and story but much darker and taboo that he promises in TPP.

KOJIMA INTERESTED IN GAMES, ANIME, FILM WITH DEL TORO

[Admiral Woofington]

I had the weirdest boner when I read the movie/animation news.

Then I saw his feelings over Sony and I'm crying.

Crying and with a boner.

 

[DangerMouse]

Every one thinking rationally knew Sony was the best place for Kojima.

Yup.

These words are very telling. You can tell he wanted to go somewhere he knew he would be respected and valued.

Yeah, there it is. Good to see.
