Kojima Productions issues statement on article that said they spent part of MGSV's budget in developing P.T.

[Lant_War]

Not gonna lie, I kinda wanted this to be true because the idea of one of the best horror games of all time being made in secret only added to the mystery. But oh well :(

 

[Deleted member 887]

Anyone with critical thinking skills should have known that was bs.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

The fact folk here took it seriously is hilarious.

 

[Milennia]

There goes the Kojima heist fantasy

 

[wars]

Even if it was true (clearly not), they will always say that it´s not.

This type of energy is like when PG "stole" money from MS, oh internet.

 

[Thrill_house]

We all knew it was bullshit...but yall can't tell me it wasn't fun to talk about and speculate LOL

 

[Santos]

It was obvious it was bullshit.

 

[Video Kojima]

Even if it was true, they will always say that it´s not.

Don't think they can say that...legally.

 

[Swearing.circle]

Shocker lol.

 

[Silly Buck]

People hoped Kojima pulled a Frank Ocean?

 

[Unkindled]

Back to Konami sucks

 

[Kouriozan]

When I first heard Gameblog, I was already suspicious, but now everyone know what to expect.

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

Funny that it needed to be said. There's no way they could have done something like that without Konami being aware.

That would have been really cool though.

 

[Cugel]

Gameblog is dumpster fire and should be banned

 

[Shard Shinjuku]

Welp. back to pining for PT.

 

[ElephantShell]

It was a fun story but makes sense that it was total bullshit.

But not surprsing to say the least looking at the recent past.

 

[Kaneda]

no shit

We wanted to believe it ecause it enters totally in how we see Kojima and konami's relationship.

 

[Launchpad]

Not surprised to see it's fake but damn KojiPro should sue the fuck out of gameblog for that shit.

 

[Protome]

Right, it was very clearly bullshit.

 

[LewieP]

I'll reserve judgement until we hear from Joakim Mogren.

 

[Uzupedro]

There is a comic tone to their post that probably wouldn't have existed, but even so it does.
But yeah, it was kind of obvious, it's still my headcannon tho.

 

[ZeroX]

I mean to be fair this Kojima Productions never developed PT so the thread title is a little inaccurate, but we know what they meant

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

It was obvious bullshit. Weird how so many believed it or took it seriously.

 

[wars]

Don't think they can say that...legally.

Click to shrink...

Well many companies do things not so... legal.

Not saying that it´s the case here (clearly not).

 

[Infernostew]

Read like fanfiction anyway. Some of you on this site will believe anything that supports your own personal biases.

 

[Arklite]

It was ridiculous, though it was funny to think of Kojima secretly making a Silent Hill game for Konami, behind Konami's back, while working for Konami.

 

[The Dark Soul]

In my heart it is still true LOL.

 

[henhowc]

😂 you guys

 

[jroc74]

If that was true it would have been amazing, lol.

 

[Deleted member 8468]

That was a fun thread while it lasted.

 

[Falchion]

Guess they wanted to squash that since it was such a bad look for Kojima if true.

 

[Falchion]

Whoops double post.

 

[Patitoloco]

Kojima: "Era you dumb"

 

[OnionPowder]

well the story was certainly fun and it would be more interesting if it was true

 

[Damn Silly]

 

[TheChungusAmongUs]

...

Did people actually think somehow Kojima created PT, got it on Sony's gamescom presser, etc was done without any knowledge from Konami?

 

[dep9000]

this was obvious

 

[SigSig]

people here wanted it to be true so bad looool

 

[Dan Thunder]

Obvious but depressing that some people actually believed it without applying a second of critical thought.

[Luckett_X]

Booking, contracting, and facial scanning Norman Reedus without alerting the mother corporation is a stealth mission even the snakiest snakes of special ops would fail. People were idiots to believe any of that tabloid gash.

 

[Rover_]

this whole rumor is an insult to any intelligence but people swallow it to dunk on Kojima lol

 

[Neuromancer]

This is part of the con obviously

 

[SJRB]

Ban the source and everyone in that thread saying "I always knew Kojima was an asshole" and shit like that.

this is mindboggling, also hiring Del Toro. thi should be a quest or easter egg on his next game

 

[Inugami]

Do people not know how game development works? Konami gave them some money to produce a prototype... They wouldn't have to steal from their others games budget...

Like how would they have been able to sneak money for a prototype while also releasing it publicly?

 

[Cantaim]

The accusation was so outlandish that I genuinely didn't believe it. The only way my mind could have changed would be if other sources spoke up and said they heard the same thing
