I'm starting to believe even harder in a digital PSX showcase in December. There's too much we don't know that we can't be in the dark for like a year again.

Might just be the game awards? Guess we'll see. And plans can change with announcements as we know.
That actually makes way more sense. And if it is the MGS Remake announcement, I can definitely see Keighley being involved, but I guess he's more a Kojima associate than Konami.
I really hope she's doing okay, and sending her all the positive energy and vibes. One of the most pleasant people on this forum, so I'm definitely going to miss her!
I tried more or less to transcript the part they talk about the game, probably not perfect because the quality is a bit shitty so it's hard to understand but here:
''Just go back on that Playstation game, what's about that?''
''So that actually happened about a year and half ago, just after the pandemic hit, Michael McGlynn got in touch and we were writing music for a remake of a Playstation game, he's done a lot of writing for different games that very well known. He said ''look, it's an Irish Language and this is what they are looking for'', so really what I was involved with was the lyric writing in the Irish language, and his daughter sang on the track and his wife arranged part of the chorus, Michael also worked with me in the language side of things…for ages I wasn't allowed to know, you don't know what you are writing for since it's all undisclosed because they don't want to get out, it's actually going to be announced in Christmas the name of the game. I've heard about it now and confirmed it is a big game, which is great! It's going to be an Irish in the game, which is brilliant.

Thanks. That's the main gist of it from what I listened to. Are we thinking MGS per that other poster only recalling a Gaelic song within games being MGS?
I have a laptop and a desktop that's plugged into my TV that sits next to my PS5 and when I get home at night, I turn on the PS5 over my PC. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard too. Idk what it is, but it just a lot easier even with my set up. Also, one thing that does bother me when I game on PC, is that there can be lots going on in the background where a game can crash because you forgot to close something, or you'll occasionally get that update notification too. It's little dumb things like that where I don't have to deal with, despite PC being a brilliant platform to game on. Also, I can get sidetracked when I turn my computer on.
Definitely. I still can't see Kojima being involved in any way, but I guess purely through his association with MGS and friendship with Keighley it would make sense.
Edit: Is it just the Virtuous remake then?
Listened to the interview there as well. And idk I guess just because she's calling it a Playstation game doesn't necessarily mean it's made by Sony or just a PS game. A lot of casual people probably just calls it a Playstation game despite it perhaps being on multiple platforms.
Interesting she said remake though.

In France it isn't uncommon for non players to say "PlayStation" instead of "console".
That would be cool. i really want to see what this hybrid vr/AAA future is going to look like.
I can see that for sure. My only tether to it is that Konami are cheap as fuck, and they are publishing the Virtuous MGS project. It might be another SH situation where they farm out the IP to multiple studios/publishers, along with the Xmas reveal lining up with the Game Awards a.k.a Kojima's best friend.
True. Many law firms exist to hammer out these type of contracts, acquisitions can take many months to many years to finally formalize.
Well, what seems certain is that it is a remake, includes Gaelic lyrics, and is - at least currently - planned to be announced around Xmas (Game Awards).
if its soft confirmation of a psx show thats good enough for me. I dont care about the game so much
it would be interesting for sure, it would be sony would be most likely skipping TGA also (if it is indeed PSX)
I'm only holding out hope for it because I want more PSVR2 news.
This rumor didn't include MGS, it's just guessing based from what that person said at the radio.
For sure. All we know is it's a remake, big title, possibly revealed around Xmas, and she's associating it with PS (whether it actually is, or using PS as a stand in for consoles we don't know). The link with MGS is due to a song 'The Best is Yet to Come' from the original, in Gaelic.
Edit: bit more smoke than random internet chatter TBH.
Ok I actually listened to it now.
Yeah this is legit, and she really has no idea that she coudn't have said that lol
Reminds me of the newspaper that leaked GoTsu game, but in that case no one noticed.

Ahah I'm a believer since that rumor appeared. Now I don't believe the second part of that rumor (Sony japan studio build up from scratch), it's so unbelievable that it's fake. But PSX? Sure.
I really hope she will be fine. QueenVulpix was one of the most cheerful people on this forum and we will miss her.
That's the song. But I wonder what it means since she mentioned writing the Gaelic lyrics for the track in this game remake.
Edit: thinking on it more, Bluepoint did update the original Demon's Souls score on the remake (example, not associating them with it).

I dunno why so many are linking Jimbo's statement directly to day and date PC releases. He's clearly talking (at least primarily) about streaming, and he's talking down the line. And yeah, Sony is going to have to beef up its streaming options as Xcloud and Amazon and Tencent and (maybe) Google continue to push their tech. I'm not saying consoles are going away anytime soon, but ten years from now any company that only has its games locked behind a $500 device is going to look like a dinosaur when there will be multiple streaming services putting out good quality 4k video at a relatively smooth framerate. The company has to be looking into those options now, because it's going to take years to establish them.
literally every piece of PR that comes out of sony these days people equate it with day 1 PC releases even when they say the opposite.
we all know sony has been thinking about streaming/cloud services for a while now. I played TLOU for the first time on my mac computer using PSNow in like 2014 or 15? They aren't just deciding any of this stuff because microsoft beat them to the punch.
not saying thats what you're saying btw, i just think its weird. People love sony games but don't want to buy the hardware, yet no one makes the same claims for nintendo
What? This is a accidental leak? What does it have to do with Sony, they're not involved in this information being out?
Exactly. I'm first and foremost a console user, and I don't see that changing anytime soon, but I'd be naive to say that streaming tech isn't eventually going to play a huge role in the gaming industry going forward. Look at how much better movie streaming tech has become over the last decade, I watched Black Widow on Disney Plus last night and it had a crisp 4k picture that might not be quite as good as a 4k disc, but was close enough that most people aren't going to tell the difference. Game streaming ten years from now is going to look and feel much better than it does today, and most consumers are likely going to find it an acceptable way to consume their games, while us hardcore types are going to keep playing our bleeding edge consoles and (even more so) PCs.
For Sony to neglect that inevitability would be dangerous for them down the road. They need to be thinking about the future now, even if it's quite a few years away.
MediEvil 2 is victorian gothic. So it's not that.
I thought it could be WILD. But then I heard the word "remake". So only MGS makes sense.
Or Folklore... lol.
sony has been highly adaptable for over 25 years now, they aren't gonna end up like blockbuster next gen because they let streaming get ahead of them. They are making deal with netflix, and 5000 other tech companies these days, they are clearly aware that the wind is blowing in the other direction.
Funnily Folklore would make a lot of sense if they're after Irish Gaelic. It's the only game I can think of that's actually set in Ireland. Would also be an interesting one for Bluepoint to play with since it could be their chance to show if they could actually modernise an old game rather than making a 1:1 remake or remaster.

I would love that, as I adore Folklore, but I think the collective reaction around the internet would be, "what lore?"

Oh definitely, no one would have a clue what the hell it is, so it's unlikely that unless her friends are massive PS3 dorks. Haven't even played it myself (though have been meaning to if I ever see it cheap to pick up).

This was a good post to think through it comprehensively, cheers!
I didn't even think of streaming being the focus there, good shout.
Part of the rumour is that Konami is remastering Metal Gear Solid 1-2 to go with the Virtuos remake of 3.
