Those loyal to the man are joining him in his new dev.At least the engine won't be going to waste.
Should be interesting to see how many people are loyal to the man versus those loyal to the brand.

Hideo's name is a damn strong brand as well-
I think all the times he stamped "A Hideo Kojima Game" on his stuff are gonna help him out just fine.

Good thing Konami didn't trademark his name.

I have never played a MGS game but saw someone playing the new on on YouTube.
Holy shit that game has "A Hideo Kojima Game" plastered all over it. I was laughing so much, it was pretty entertaining.
The game itself was so-so though.
If his new "studio" right now consists of 4 people, and he wants to make another AAA production, I predict this game will be a cross-platform PS4/PS5 title because there's no chance in hell he finishes this within the current console cycle.

The brand, then. I have read too many comments saying "as long as the game is good" or/and "if they don't try to reinvent the gameplay/series" on the internet/friends.

They have technical director for Fox Engine
They have Art director for MGS
They have Kojima for his writing and scripts and direction.
And they have Sony money + probably devs from their Japan studio to work with (which isn't unheard off for Japan studio)
Kojima also said that he wants to do first smaller titles first to establish new IPs.
2 years max for their new game to hit shelves and 5% to coming to PC.
It's a PS4 time exclusive. It will guaranteed come to PC at a later date.

Yeah, Sony doesn't see PC as competitor too. Unless Sony is paying for the development, if so, it'll not be released on PC.

Oh. Wish Sony did the same with their other exclusive games.
Sony doesn't own Kojima Productions, they're not part of the SCE family. They're just funding their first project and in return get PS4 console exclusivity. PC isn't a Sony competitor, Xbox is.

Their website has a big hiring section.

That doesn't stop it from being exclusive for Sony only. Bloodborne is one example.
Sony owns the Bloodborne IP. Kojima otoh gets to keep his.

That's why I said not being part of the SCE family doesn't mean anything when it comes to exclusivity.
You just keep babbling your way out here. Just admit that you were plain wrong. Kojima's project was always meant to come to PC, something you outright denied. But the PC masterrace always wins.

It's not like I deny it. My assumptions was based in games like Bloodborne.

Sony swept that motherfucker up like he was going out of style
I have to say, I like the partnership, even if I may never own another Playstation. I feel strongly that if nothing else, Sony will respect his creative talents.
Really frightening to see that Konami really was that dismissive of probably their best asset to come along in the last 15 years.

Mobile games and pachinko give them much higher ROI.
