Grubb says the xbox cloud game is literally a project in Kojima's head. It hasn't even begun to be developed yet.

Grubb now is a insider of "peoples head" lol

It's genuinely strange for me, because I was a massive fan of this guy from MGS 1-4, but everything he has done since has been massively disappointing, except for of course P.T, which was a massive achievement that definitely showed he was very much still capable of pulling off something great. Yet I just don't find myself excited for anything he's going to be doing in the future, it might be a case of me just being very jaded by the industry in general, but both Phantom Pain and Death Stranding were so far from the quality of what I used to expect from him, I can't help but feel like he's living off of the reputation of his name alone now. I hope he will show me otherwise in the future, but I don't think he's going to be involved in anything truly special again.

Death stranding is one of the greatest and judging by the amount of awards it won. I'm not the only one

So Kojima kept posting pictures with Kojima productions HQ empty...which means their HQ moved probably...and now we only get pictures inside a Sony mocap studio somewhere.
That's interesting.

Moderated wildly
Cant wait to see what he's making and I'm all in. I still need to give death stranding a proper go but there's just too many games and I need to work through some before jumping back in.

Sounds like it may not happen though. Unlike the other project he’s reading us with.

Is he joking? The Eye too scary?

I want a death stranding type game with massively expanded mechanics.
I want to build rail, airports, boats, personal motorways (not predetermined).
Possibly more combat stuff different types of mounted guns, tanks etc but with limited ammo and fuel so you need to think about using them.
Could end up being the GOAT

According to Norman Reedus he's working on the Death Stranding sequel.
In a tweet he also mentioned in January "This year, I'm going to start a new work in earnest, and move to the next level of experimentation with a radical project. I'm also hoping to get the video team going.". They got a studio in LA to be in charge of movies, tv and music so maybe he's working on a (Death Stranding?) movie.
He also mentioned to want to do a horror game or a short film.
In December Famitsu interview he also mentioned to be working on a “big” title and a “new, challenging” (didn't mention small, probably is another exprimental new IP) title.
As far as I remember, when asked about which kind of projects he and Shinkawa would like to do in the future they said that would like to work not only in big games, but also in smaller and more experimental ones, in addition to in movies, anime and manga. He also mentioned a "radio project" (his podcast?).

PS5 dev kit on the right side.
Nice spot
Also I still believe this is wrong and so far we haven’t seen any Xbox dev kits only PS4 consoles and PS5 dev kits.
Doesn’t mean there isn’t an Xbox title from him in the works but none of these are proof of that.

Now that's what i like to see.
No matter what Kojima is cooking on PS5, im in.

Peace Walker was awesome, and was glad the concept was pushed in MGSV.
Those who choose money over passion in this industry, we all see how it ended for them.

It's a games development studio, they probably have dev kits from all modern consoles in the office.

You’re probably right but we’ve only seen PlayStation dev kits so far so that’s all we have to make assumptions on.
adamsapple

Well, he did just put out DS Directors Cut on PS5 too, so the idea of there being existing dev kits shouldn't be that much of a surprising thing in the first place lol.
I think it's safe to say that 99.9% of Japanese development studios have at least one or more PS5 dev kit on their person(s).
Now, if someone can spot a Switch or Xbox dev kit in any of the pictures, that'd be surprising.

I guess that’s the weird part and all his recent PlayStation related tweets.

What is Kojima doing inside Sony's building?
Exact same celling and possibly same curtains.

Barely see it but the color of the carpet looks the same.

Hard to tell, from Kojima's picture you can see that the floor isn't the same everywhere.
The celling is exactly the same, what are the odds?
The only reason I looked into it was because it was already looking like that's what was happening anyway. I couldn't find other pictures from inside that building.
edit: His old place already looked exactly like this, so I guess all offices in Japan look the same.

Death Stranding 2 needs to be in outer space. Gravity (or lack there of) is the obvious next core mechanic.
Oxygen supply, skeletons for heavy gravity, tethers, and of course space alien BTs.

Yes he would of used the ps5 dev kit for Death Stranding that released on PS5 last year. He moved offices and set everything back up, just cause.

If it happened to be a Nintendo or Xbox devkit everyone would make the connection. For some reason Sony stuff keeps showing up on his pictures (dev kit, Sony's performance capture stage, Sony equipment), it's a given he is doing a game with Sony.

The man has been posting countless pictures in a Sony studio somewhere for mocap, he is seen with PS5 devkits... it's weird to even suggest he's working on something for a different platform at this point

My guess. Kojima Productions is already part of PlayStation Studios.

VGC posted a better pic of it. Its most likely death stranding 2 like reedus said

If anyone can take this as anything it’s that whatever he’s working on will release on PlayStation. Doesn’t mean it won’t be a multiplatform title but the evidence doesn’t suggest any other platform at the moment.

Upon further investigation it looks like Kojima's new office is in the exact same place as before, so they didn't relocate anywhere(or he has been posting old pictures).

Yeah, I'm surprised people think a studio that's already put out a PS5 game having a PS5 dev kit is some kind of revelation for future projects lol.
Why ? He's a game developer, like I said before he probably has kits for all modern consoles.

Saying it’s only that isn’t true though. He also sent other tweets that indicate he has a connection with Sony. If he was working on something that won’t be on PlayStation I don’t see why Sony would treat him that way.
adamsapple

Are you talking about that PS studio banner tweet which he later clarified within 5 minutes that his studio will always remain independent ?
Other than that he's just been posting pictures of his new studio setup and all the swanky telecom tech he's gotten which just so happens to be Sony branded, keeping in mind that Sony is one of the biggest manufacturers of other electronic hardware aside from PlayStations as well.
Yes, it's more likely that he's making a game for PS than Xbox, but still it feels like people in this thread are reaching for anything to grasp on to find clues where none exist.

You know I’m not talking about that or insinuating that Sony is buying him.
That’s all on your imagination I’m afraid.
adamsapple

If there's any other tweets recently where he overtly hinted at making something for PS other than having that telecom equipment on screen, or people finding the dev kits stashed in the corners, I might have missed it. I wouldn't mind if you share it.

Well you were tagged in it.
more ammo….
The flowers on the left are from Kiichiro Urata(Playstation's Head of Japan Asia Partners Development and Relations) and the ones on the right are from Jim Ryan.
@Sosokratesadamsapple better sign up for ps direct
Remember I’m not saying he’s being bought by Sony or that he isn’t working on an Xbox exclusive. I’m only saying he has connections with Sony and that it’s likely his next game will be available on PlayStation. I’m backing this up with tweets from him and are not using insiders like Grubb for example.

Well it's from March, I don't remember everything I get tagged in a month or more ago lol.
Besides, that's .. just really weak 'evidence' of anything if you ask me. Could just be congratulatory stuff on his new office.
Anyway, everything is incredibly circumstantial at best right now. Will get back to this when something concrete gets announced for a change.

I highly doubt that Kojima had a bad relationship with Sony. Plus that local studio and the conferencing tech is Sonys.
I mean if you want to deny it that’s on you but it’s likely his next game will release on PlayStation. Don’t see why his tweets are proof that it’s something else like an Xbox or Switch exclusive for example.
adamsapple

I never said, nor do I think, that Kojima and Sony have had any kind of issues in their relationship.
And I don't stan for the rumored Kojima Xbox game either, everything is heresy and rumor right now. They put out a PS5 game a half a year or so ago, I doubt whatever they're making now is in a presentable state in any form so it might be a while, or we'll get a CG trailer at best this year.
