Tencent has no investment in the console market, so it's possible that any future project from them is going to be PC-only.Then again. This chinese company seems big as fuck, and consoles are allowed now in China and the market is going to continue to grow there for a very long time.
Tencent gave Riot and Epic a lot of freedom, so why not Kojima as well?I can get bank... but freedom? That's putting it mildly optimistic.
Let's see if Nexon can outbid them

Didn't know Tencent holds big stakes in ActiBlizz.
Fortnite is tentatively slated for consoles, but the big thing is they make online service games, so I'd imagine something like an f2p Metal Gear Online game more than a Metal Gear Solid V type game.Tencent has no investment in the console market, so it's possible that any future project from them is going to be PC-only.
Hideo going mobile!
Cliffy and Kojima?

Kojima is hired so he can write a wild story about Project skins. Riot already got site launched. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!Grimløck;175839912 said:project yasuo is basically raiden from revengeance

At PSX:
Zone of Souls: Metal Enders
Hidetaka Miyazaki and Hideo Kojima collaboration.
Hideo would likely have a large set of suitors asking for his services so this one would make less sense than the likely more lucrative offers he would receive from major players.
No, they're actually pretty great. Tencent would certainly give Kojima a lot of creative freedom and has more than enough money to fund whatever he would come up with - as long as he does a F2P game for PC.Why not ? Does this company have a bad record ?
It wouldn't be too surprising if Tencent were to want to experiment with a narrative-driven game; maybe with a wuxia-style story that can be targeted at Chinese gamers.Fortnite is tentatively slated for consoles, but the big thing is they make online service games, so I'd imagine something like an f2p Metal Gear Online game more than a Metal Gear Solid V type game.
It seems unlikely; especially not from Tencent. Tencent is probably more committed to the PC platform than any company other than Valve. That is where they can best exercise their core competencies, and losing that to bet on a console in a region with almost no history with home consoles doesn't make any sense. This may change if the PS4 takes off in China, but that hasn't happened yet, and the Chinese companies are willing to wait.Am I the only one getting more and more the vibe that a big Chinese console is on the way? I mean not a cheapo android based knockoff console. But a real thing....
Cliff works for Nexon, which is a different f2p online company.
What's up with China and video games right now?
Also, yeah right.
Tencent gave Riot and Epic a lot of freedom, so why not Kojima as well?
They may not have done it before, but we're talking about the biggest video game company in the world. If anyone can afford it, Tencent can. And it wouldn't be out of their character to do so - keep in mind that Riot was a much smaller entity before Tencent bought them out.You get LoL and the largest middleware engine developer together which makes sense in an investment standpoint. Having to traditionally use a AAA model out of the blue with all the risks and development cost accounting to an unestablished IP seems way out of the park for them.
That still sounds like Tencent.Tencent could probably give him a pretty nice salary, but I'm gonna guess that Kojima's much more interested in creative freedom than his own paycheck, so he'll go to whoever promises him the highest budget/flexibility.
I can get bank... but freedom? That's putting it mildly optimistic.
Fuck, I wouldn't mind seeing Hideo Kojima's take on a free-to-play game. Wasn't he talking about having the player pay for another copy of a game every time they die?
Give Kojima a couple dozen million dollars and let him have a go, Tencent.
Since Tencent invested money into the company I work for and if Kojima ends up working with Tencent, can I say I "work with" Hideo Kojima?
I never heard of Tencent until earlier this year and I find them investing in a variety of gaming companies really interesting.
Just saying, we still don't know what type of game Kojima wants to do next.
