No way huh? Someone check for me if Helldivers magically disappeared on PC?

Honestly making PT would be possible if they were able to start essentially from zero. They can't use any assets or ideas that were written down while working in Konami as far as I'm aware
But this would be the time to make it first person and have Del Toro and his team design every creature.

They tried to make money with those amazing IPs and ended up destroying their worth due to gross incompetence. It's the Konami way.
I don't know why, but this gif makes me always grin like an idiot.

I think you are even sadder than those "some posters" to be frank.
Anyways, please continue P.T., Kojima. Do not make action games please, we have a dozen of those already out there. Please continue and complete P.T.: there is simply nothing out there like it, a truly masterful creation of horror. Make it episodic, or whatever, just do it please
Why? Because I am not irrationally pissed off about a game not coming to my 300 dollar console of choice?
It was a wise business decision from Sony. For all we know the game would be impossible without the backing/funding from Sony
It was called Guy Savage I think

Great to hear, that he rouse from the Konami incident seemingly unscathed. Let the new IP be a spiritual successor to Silent Hills. It's also good to have the rumors about SH moving to XBO put to rest.
As for the exclusivity, it shouldn't be surprise considering his past relations with Sony.
On a side note, I wonder will Kuchera write an article about how this exclusivity will also increase sales and profits like the TR one?

The last AAA game published by SCE on PC was Twisted Metal in the mid-nineties. I don't think Helldivers concerns Sony that much.
The IP is likely owned by KojiPro because there is no recent precedent to suggest otherwise.

This is grim. First I've heard of it, too.
Probably not a coincidence that Kojima grew a beard either. Looking forward to seeing him rocking an eyepatch next!Big Boss working under Cypher:

Well it would make sense for why Konami said nothing about it (bound by contract).
Why Del Toro flip flopped on working in games (must not have got the memo)
And why Norman Reedus recently spoke on Silent Hills to be worked on again in future (hint)

Unless we are misunderstanding each other again or I'm ignorant, doesn't your avatar contradict what you are saying
(I.e. I thought Sony owned the Bloodborne IP)

I really wish that MGS5 had more easter eggs like the previous games did.
makes sense. Kojima probably needs real money for his new project and after the rumours about MGSV's budget...... the only viable option was going 'exclusive' instead of finding a publisher like EA or Activision with limited budget and time.
And this generation, with ps4 domination, Sony makes the most sense (plus historically tied to PS platforms) .
Maybe in the 360 era MS would've payed for exclusivity since their marketshare was bigger.
Well at least it seems that the game will eventually release on PC so i think it is quite an open approach from Sony for some of their 'exclusivity' deals.

I'm super glad to see the man land on his feet. I just hope that first game is a hit. Hate to see him end up in the niche hole others of his cut seem to fall into when divorced from their mother publishers.
I was going to ask if yoji was on board and so this image confirms it.
Thanks!

ps, he has a great watch.

tbh I will still put IP rights under speculation. Because if sony does own it, why would it come on pc anyway.

People should not be impatient, this is studio has officially existed for less than a day. If they rush a game out and it is critically panned, it would not be a good look.
Kojima needs time, he creates masterpieces.
It's the opposite, it's not on PC because the IP is owned by Sony, if FROM owned the IP then there would be a PC port by now since Dark Souls games usually sell ~1 million on PC.
Smartest way to approach this.
Kojima is talented but Sony better than anyone besides Konami knows about Kojima in a workplace. So a partnership first, test the waters, see how the mutual relationship unfolds, whether he proves himself with a new IP.
Then if it's all positive, merge with Kojima Productions. Looking forward to what comes out of this.
