Sony likes making cinematic games, Kojima likes making cinematic games, perfect publisher for him when you take out the platform warz from the equation.

At the very least he stayee the hell away from Activision, Ubisoft and EA, would have been out of the frying pan and into the fire.

 

[BitterFigDanette]

3-4 years. We'll probably find out tomorrow during the ign interview.

Yeah I cannot see him rushing a new game in 2 years when the studio has just been created.

Also the wording is console exclusive to Playstation. I would say, there's a chance his title would be PS4/PS5.

 

[Bodom78]

Bummer I'll missout on the game but awesome stuff for Kojima and Sony. Looks like all this drama has worked out well.

 

[Ombala]

Wow quick work there by Sony, will be very interesting to see what he makes.
That logo is dope btw.

 

[Chobel]

It could be still true thou, since Konami own the IP not Kojima.

He also said Kojima is on board http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1144766

 

[LifEndz]

Dat face. Sony out here running up the score when the game is already over.

 

[iMax]

Wonder what engine they'll be using. It'll be a while until they have their own tools, I'd have thought.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Da face of arrogant Sony returning

Complacency right there.

 

[LeFAIS]

Is the FOX-engine property of Konami?

 

[Freeman]

Perfect, I hope he uses someone else's engine this time(maybe Guerrilla's) so that the game can come out faster.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I'm a bit bummed Kojima+Del Toro+Toyama Siren didn't happen . Maybe after this

I wonder what the scope of the project is.

I wouldn't trust anyone other than Sony or maybe Take2 to give him the freedom he needs.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

That didn't take long at all.

 

[LifEndz]

Da face of arrogant Sony returning

lol. If this keeps up, I fully expect them to tell me to get a second job for the ps5. /s

 

[VanquishUK]

This needs to be a Twitch emote.

 

[iMax]

Is the FOX-engine property of Konami?

Oh most definitely.

 

[Gamesadict]

Holy shit that was fast.

 

[Betty]

I feel... content.

 

[FootballFan]

There were no leaks prior to the Nikkei article correct?

 

[Ran rp]

Valve?

 

[jmga]

Perfect, I hope he uses someone else's engine this time(maybe Guerrilla's) so that the game can come out faster.

If the game is gonna be released on PC, I doubt it will be a Sony in-house engine.

 

[Kudo]

I'm running out of fingers to count things with that Sony have saved this generation.

Does KojiPro own Fox Engine?

 

[Newtype-001]

Seriously cant stop laughing at this face, its the kind face you make when you about roast someonenes entire life.

 

[Brad Grenz]

?

Logo looks like some sort of futuristic Medieval, Roman, Greek helmet mashup.

I just see some sort of futuristic helmet. Quick mock up.

It's definitely heavily influenced by jousting helms:

Maybe his first project will be a PS VR jousting simulator!

Now that you mention it, yeah, I'm glad he didn't hook up with any of those publishers you listed. Really glad.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

How did you play MSG4?

I had a PS3 and Xbox 360.

 

[zsynqx]

Got to love Steve and Jim from videogamer

Very sad that Kojima has escaped from whatever dungeon he was being held in

https://twitter.com/Auld_Da_Jim/status/677064767949901824

Sony don't make good games because they let their employees have holidays and live without the fear of being maced. = bad art

 

[BossDarkseid]

Is the FOX-engine property of Konami?

Yep. But ti sounds like the chief engineers are joining NewKojiPro, and doubtless Kojima's team will have help from Cerny/ICE Team/Sony programmers to get up and running and a well optimized engine. I wonder if Kojima will still go for 1080p/60fps? Interesting few years. Would be cool to see a concept trailer at PSX 2016 but that's probably too early, really.

 

[Nesther]

This is fucking incredible news. I'm so glad he's sticking to video games.

 

[Cipherr]

YAS QUEEN!

So happy for Kojima. Not even a fan of the mans writing, but no one deserves what he has been put through.

 

[Zephyrous]

Helmet reminds me of Havel's helmet from Dark Souls Series. Liquid Cogs Souls Confirmed?

 

[fantomena]

House was trying to so hard not to scream out loud during the video.

 

[Tecnniqe]

From Kojima:

Looks more like a advanced Spartan helmet with a skull inside to me.

 

[Melchiah]

I own both consoles, but if it's going to be console exclusive, I'd rather it be Playstation exclusive mostly because the console is more powerful, and we're likely to get a better looking or more ambitious game as a result. That and from a finance perspective, the game will reach a much bigger install base, with potentially more allegiance to his brand.

Not to mention, that it seems like Sony gives more freedom to the developers than any of the other big publishers do. I wouldn't want to have a possible horror IP from him to be diluted by some executives, who think it's too hard to sell. Considering, that Kojima said he wanted the game to be so scary that people have a hard time to play it, as already evidenced by PT.

 

[hoserx]

Well this is certainly an interesting development to wake up to.....

 

[JawzPause]

Wow i was not expecting this News so soon. I'm guessing kojima's game is still 3-4 years away, looking forward to it

 

[Ivan]

This part is awesome. Sony can really give him the best technical support.

And Kojima really is The Special One, so he basically won't have any limits.

 

[StardustPain]

Nice to hear that he is not retiring or something.

How long till the next kojima game? 5..6 years?

I wish it was Playstation / PC, but owning a ps4 I'm happy anyway.

 

[eyeball_kid]

Da face of arrogant Sony returning

Complacency right there.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but Sony swooping in to have Kojima's back is pretty much the opposite of complacency. Fire in the belly, eye of the fox.

 

[T.E.D]

He was quick to say "console exclusive". This will be all over PC.

 

[deim0s]

LTTP: Boom!

 

[klee123]

This must have taken a while to plan and I wouldn't be surprised if SCE went to him as soon as when the news of him being demoted to contractor was floating around.

 

[Toki767]

He was quick to say "console exclusive". This will be all over PC.

Probably not right away though.

I kind of figure he's going to make some VR horror game.

 

[Eddie_Khaled]

what a news to weak up to

A spiritual successor to metal gear solid PS1, without cheesy bits, that would be great

 

[Kouriozan]

Sony doing the best decision.
Can't wait to see what he will do.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Will probably buy a PS4 when his game comes out.

This is amazing.

 

[Real_Madrid]

Wow, Sony really did it. I thought they wouldn't invest in a new expensive AAA-exclusive that's from third party, but I'm glad I was wrong.
Also nice to see that Kojima is free from Konami and Sony is known for giving their studios freedom and time.

It's a win win for everyone. A Kojima game will sell consoles.

 

[kavanf1]

no one deserves what he has been put through.

Come on, I like the guy and wish him every success, but he's not Nelson Mandela. He is a very wealthy game creator who fell out with his employer and immediately landed on his feet. I don't think he needs much sympathy.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

Huge news. I have to say, as much as I love everything Xbox, (by preference, not fanboyism) Microsofts sloth like behaviour on SO MANY FRONTS is really starting to annoy me. Either the company is being run by idiots or they have a huge amount of other plans to show off sometime.

Especially in a casuals eye, EVERYTHING is only on PS. Almost every multiplatform title had something exclusive to PS. STILL being slow with the majority in indie stuff too. There resistance to make quality niche games that they know will sell little too.

They literally came out and apologised about SFV, and it doesn't even seem like they tried here.

Hmph.

 

[Henkka]

Sweet. Hopefully the game won't take 5+ years!
