Venturebeat: Abandoned for PS5 is not a secret Hideo Kojima game. Kojima is in talks with Microsoft about publishing his next game as per source
- Thread starter AshenOne
- Start date
You can bet that if they are using Decima engine people will blame Jim Ryan for it, despite this deal being made in the Andrew House days lol
From last year:
Hideo Kojima discusses new Kojima Productions projects
The interview was published in the February 6 edition of Famitsu
As far as games go, Kojima Productions "is planning to work on multiple game projects, one of which would be a 'big' game". But Kojima is planning on making some smaller games, too, including episodic and digital-only titles.
We don't know which one of those projects this Microsoft partnership would be and what the fate of those other projects is. That's why forming some narrative about Sony getting annoyed is premature, especially when we have insiders rumoring that KojiPro is working on a Death Stranding 'definitive' edition with possible extra content.
reaaaally doubt that's what's gonna happen. no way sony/guerrilla will let him continue to use the engine now. it's most likely gonna be an unreal engine game.
So how does this work? Platform holders should pay for development, marketing, distribution on games for no appreciable benefit?
But Kojima production still have that satelit studio at guerrilla games right?
Maybe? This narrative that it's like a messy divorce seems whack lol. They're independent. It's just business.
Haha, I love that Venturebeat actually made an article about that joke-thread.
Speaking of which, I always feared Kojima would head elsewhere after Death Stranding's reception... I loved the game, personally.
Guerilla Games and Kojima Productions talking about building upon Decima and future games together were certainly exciting times. It's really unfortunate that the game didn't do better.
That being said, Kojima is one of my favorite developers and he absolutely should keep making AAA-games. If Sony isn't willing to fund his games, I'm happy as shit seeing someone do it!
As should any fan of his be.

Serious. You didn't see anywhere this level of shit-talking in the thread about Sony having a Remedy exclusive in the works, despite their long affiliation with Microsoft. Some folks are just WAAAY too invested in the console war.
Epic signed a deal with GenDesign (Fumito Ueda) too.
Wonder what their plan is? PC exclusive or also release on console?
Nope. If you switch companies once you can never go back. Please be excited for Insomniac's new Xbox game.
Sony should relinquish the Death Stranding IP to Kojima as a sign of good will. I would love something else from Kojima-sama on PS. (Preferebly not Death Stranding related.)
🎵Don't Be So Serious🎵
But thanks for the laughs. Everyone please lay off poor Earvin x Hunter, the meme is almost 13 years old now and not everyone is going to know it.
I was hoping the 'cancel your unannounced game for Xbox' was just ridiculous enough to tip off even the uninitiated but I must've just missed the mark.
epic's deal with remedy, gendesign and playdead is for "multi-platform" games, so i assume EGS and consoles.
Great news for everyone! Probably the first EGS games I will buy.
I'm... not sure what this means?
Well the rumor was already known for some time now. Still, it's a pretty stark difference in terms of reaction.
I think its not that it flopped, more so it didnt set the world on fire. Pretty sure there were articles saying it was a profitable game.
Does that Jim guy hate japan that much? How can you let Kohima go? Lol whatever I hope he makes an awesome though I wish he would do something for the switch too
Death Stranding doesn't seem to have been a huge sales success and probably was fairly expensive to develop. Japan Studio's last commercial hit was in, like, 2005. I like Japanese games and I want Sony to keep funding them, but Jimbo is following the money. From a business perspective you can't really fault him for that.
Huh, look at that, it is $10. I thought it was $15 for some reason.
it will multi that mean it will come to console but it will be epic store exclusive in PC
Interesting if true. Wonder what engine they will use? Probably UE4/5. Would be rather stupid of Sony just to basically give him an engine and then not set parametres on where he can use it.
I still need to get through DS at some point...I like what I played but it is pretty expansive, minimalist and slow paced. I also petered out on MGSV.

I was actually boycotting any Microsoft console since the RROD shitshow but I don't get anything from holding that grudge and many things have changed ever since. On top of that it seems that STALKER is PC and XBOX exclusive and being one of my favorite franchises makes the decision even easier.
As soon as consoles are available I'm getting one.

They should publish the game themselves on xbox as a direct attack on the platform.
Most of the reaction seems to be coming from PlayStation fans because of the ongoing Japan narrative stuff, lol.
I continue to be too tired to make heads or tails of these dynamics. Kojima had a project that utilized streaming... Microsoft are pushing into streaming. Seems like a pretty logical partnership. All of the other speculation and doomsaying is just white noise to me.
GP Ultimate is $15 (the one that includes PC and Console, plus xCloud access)
Regular Xbox Game Pass is $10.
Honestly? Good. That's competition and MS is making these kinds of moves because Sony has been aggressive all of last gen and started this gen off being aggressive (as long as we ignore that it's mostly because MS actually shot themselves in the foot in 2013.) Seeing the fact that MS needed to actually compete and gain back some market lead to Game Pass and day one games on it as well as the expansion of their first party. I'd love to see what Sony does when forced to compete and be aggressive like this.
With competition, we the consumers mostly benefit.
Tbh I'm entirely convinced that they knew what they were doing with that and wanted the entertainment too.
The meme is great though, I'm not even from the old place but somehow I still new it before coming to this site
PlayStation doesn't own Kojima, he can work with whoever he wants. Just like PlayStation can choose which developers they want to work with.
Absolutely not, it's the opposite : the BlueBox rumour started on an enthusiast forum, the Xbox rumour with a goodie willingly placed on the shelve of an executive.

Sounds like the start of a movie trailer about Revenge of Sony or something. Too bad Don LaFontaine ain't around to voice those lines.
