So much bitterness. First people cry about Sony claiming them not having enough exclusives. And now that they snag them from Kojima and people are ready to reject the games and cry about it being exclusive and running around trying to find out how long it might be exclusive for or if it will eventually reach other platforms. Is it because you just like to complain a lot or upset because you know with Kojima's background anything he makes could easily sell a ton more systems? I swear gamers are some of the most angry, bitter two faced people out of every medium group on the planet.
Sony Officially Teams up With Kojima to Produce PS4 Exclusives
- Thread starter Steven Bogos
- Start date
Glad to see it coming to PC. MGS5 was the first Kojima game that I played, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. Looking forward to seeing what Kojima can create, because that guy has some damn talent.
Good for him. Not really a fan of the MGS stuff personally, but the way he was treated was just simply rude and unprofessional. Hopefully he can have a more enjoyable career now with a new direction.
I was gonna say. Earlier this year, he was a bit like Araki in that he looked like a fresh faced doe entering the industry. Now he does look noticeably old.Coruptin said:
Maybe it's the beard. If he grows his hair into a ponytail and get a horn shaped shrapnel lodged in his head, maybe he can complete the ensemble.
Well the game is said to also be coming to PC. So you can resume having a superiority complex over a first-world hobby you've spent money on.Dendio said:
Any chance they can get him to team back up with del Toro and make that Silent Hills game now? Okay, change a few things--like the name--so Konami can't throw their fit, but then make it because that demo was amazing.
I wonder what the new franchise will be, and if I'll have any interest in it. I played Twin Snakes on the GameCube and Guns of the Patriot, and while they were both entertaining, I've never really felt a desire to go back to either of them.

I detect a high energy reaction ahead. The superiority index is 50%. We can easily dispose of it.
"You say 'easily' to win over that gigantic corporation?"
Certainly, Konami's irrational actions have driven their frame into a crisis. They have managed to learn Fox Engine's source code.

Thank god, I was about to rant. Really wondering about his new direction; He probably won't do a MG clone and a horror game might get him in trouble with Konami for stealing work or something, when it is nearly close to what was shown of Silent Hills in any stretch of imagination. It's Konami.Johnlives said:
So, what is it gonna be? I still like a horror game from him.
I simply want Silent Hills, even if it has nothing to do with Silent Hill. That well is poisened anyway after The Downcoming.
You know what's sad? I'm so much into the Zaibatsu that I honestly think that's the title of the games now.Naldan said:
Throw all the Axes you can. Be a cool guy, doesn't afraid of anything.
My thoughts as well. This is probably the best case scenario. Going first party with Sony will give him a publisher that will respect him and his work. And it will give Sony a very nice feather in their cap to boot.Lightknight said:
I really can't imagine that Microsoft would have respected Kojima as much as Sony will. And I don't see his games getting out to as many people if he went with Nintendo, who would also respect him (though Nintendo would be an almost perfect fit, too).
I see this as a Win/Win/Win.
A Win for Kojima.
A Big Win for Sony.
A Win for we gamers.
I've been thinking about this all day (read this article before heading to work). Kojima has plenty of old games to draw inspiration from. Zone of the Enders, Snatcher, and Policenauts are his most notable games. However, I think he may be making a spiritual successor to Silent Hills for Sony.Sniper Team 4 said:
Here's my reasoning:
P.T. was exclusive to PS4. And it had a lot of people excited for Silent Hills. Sony had to notice this. And they had to be excited for a Silent Hills game to hit their console and take advantage of that hype. If you think we hated the cancellation of the game, I bet some Sony executives were cussing when they learned of it. I could easily see Sony requesting that Kojima make a spiritual successor to Silent Hills.
And he may be able to get Del Toro back on board. While Del Toro has stated that the whole experience soured him on game development, I seem to recall him also stating that he did enjoy working with Kojima. If true, I think one phone call from Kojima could get him joining the new studio to make this game changing horror game they were working on.
Bottom line is this. Sony isn't stupid. They know we wanted Silent Hills. They have Kojima. They know exactly how much buzz they would get if they were able to get him to make (not)Silent Hills for them. This is a no brainer (as long as Kojima is willing).
As for him making a spiritual successor to Metal Gear, I don't see him making Iron Cog any time soon. Kojima had been trying to get away from Metal Gear since MGS2. Every game was his last one. Then, he made another. I don't see Kojima finally getting some creative freedom and going back to Metal Gear. Not yet, anyway.
Ah, yeah. A Zone of the Enders reference. Nice.EHKOS said:
Why am I hearing, "What took them so long?" everywhere? Is this some new catchphrase associated to the Kojima drama?
In MGS5 Ground Zeroes and in MGS5 The Phantom Pain, there is a mission where you can extract a character called Hideo, modeled after Hideo Kojima, on extraction he will say to Big Boss; "What took you so long?".RedRockRun said:

The problem is you will never find a day were you can no longer be surprised by how technologically illiterate or intimidated someone is. The world is becoming more technological, yes, but for many convenience has no price. The consoles have/had the allure of being startup and play right off the bat. Sadly as consoles try to emulate the P.C. more they begin to lose this major advantage that I myself greatly enjoyed despite being primarily a P.C. gamer. My dad introduced me to Windows 98 and XP yet needed my help to get the PS4 ship shape for use. So unless console manufacturers can pull their heads out of their asses and bring console gaming back to its convenient roots that naturally attracted many then I fear that can only mean more contractually based exclusives to justify the console's existence as P.C. lite.Dendio said:
P.S. This mostly applies to tripple A studios as not everyone has the means or resources for cross-platform development. At least not concurrently and through this exclusives will still exist and I am alright with that.
The PS4 is much more a first world hobby as you can have many practical uses for a PC that do not exist in any appreciable form on the console. The PC also having the potential of being the center of your employment. Possessing the means by which to entertain yourself in the same environment is a natural extension that need not be its exclusive focus.RebornKusabi said:
P.S. Either Poe's law is in effect or you are being unnecessarily snarky. Dendio was snide in tone but not to any person or group, merely a practice he disagreed with. Whereas Bluegate was provocatively inflammatory from the beginning. This passive aggressive rhetoric that seems to be the go-to method of discourse on this site is something that I do not wish to proliferate, please.
Honestly, I'm just glad he's able to do work away from Konami. Hopefully, it goes well for him in whatever he ends up working on.
While exclusives suck from a console ownership perspective, there are so many incredible games we simply wouldn't have without exclusivity deals, so I think we might be worse off in the long run.Darth Rosenberg said:
