It was probably a funding thing. I'm betting Kojima wanted some pretty big bucks to make his game. That with horror being more niche? They probably didn't think it give enough return.
That said, fuck Stadia. GOAT Kojima is wasted on them.
Kojima had its prime on MGS4. From there it went all downhill.
Since Death Stranding was a massive failure, and Kojima Productions brand tarnished, its no wonder they rejected Kojima.
I'm not defending Google's shitty decissions on Stadia, but I think this one is one of the few (if any) good ones.
I don't know why some of you keep praising him, when he should've retired when he was on his peak (like Miyamoto or Yu Suzuki).
Phil Spencer also had a team Kojima statue in his office. If Sony declined to work with them again, and they shopped around (but failed) with Stadia...then it looks like they may be going with Microsoft.
Kojima, go to Sony
Always go to Sony
Then again I think MS would green light a frogger game if it had "A Kojima Game" attached to it
Exactly. Stadia is full of bad ideas but giving Kojima and Suzuki a budget and a schedule and having them stick to it is not...easy.Stadia rejected proposals from 2 of gaming's biggest con artists. They not so dumb after all.
The interesting thing to note here is that Kojima is shopping around - Did Sony not accept a new deal after Death Stranding?
Both make sense and seems to be adding up.Maybe this is why Phil had the KojiPro statue on his shelf? Swooped in and rescued the game for XCloud.
DS was quite efficiently released and it has its charm and quirky intricacies. Granted GG provided Kojipro the engine foundation and all.
Thats the thing, DS despite the critics, plays and felt more unique than the UC/HZD/SM/TLOU/GOT....you know those highly profitable games that Jimbo craved....they do play out rather familiar and templatey...not sure if thats a fun thing going forward..
are you insane?
those games play nothing alike and their only commonality is that they have high production values
if there wasn’t the slight chance that Kojima was signing with Xbox you’d be shitting all over death stranding. I’m sure your post history probably does somewhere
Death Stranding was shit. A horror game is the only genre from Kojima that would be interesting.are you insane?

I hope they are smarter with their money, but they have enough of it they can afford this hack.Looks like Xbox is going to get an exclusive Kojima horror game. That's pretty exciting.
Kojima dodged a silver bullet here.The Google cloud gaming division cancelled a multiplayer game led by a former Assassin’s Creed creative, a sequel to Journey to the Savage Planet and backed out of proposals for Hideo Kojima (Death Stranding) and Yu Suzuki (Outrun) to create exclusive games for Stadia, the sources said.
I don't particularly like Death Stranding and it hasn't really lit up the charts either so maybe his new project is equally as risky or more.The interesting thing to note here is that Kojima is shopping around - Did Sony not accept a new deal after Death Stranding?
