A lot of people = Jeff Grubb
Yes, it came from him and I didn’t believe anything about it. But just check around that time here in the forum, a lot of people actually believed it.

Jeff Grubb doesn’t know anything he just throws like many other wannabe insiders a lot of shit at the wall and see what sticks…

I mean we all know Sony makes a 3 game exclusivity with some studios! How many games did he released exclusively on PlayStation? 1!

So I do not understand why people are surprised!!!

I doubt they'll be able to buy them now. Should have tried before Elden Ring. Unless they reached the agreement before Elden Ring released, it's difficult to acquire someone with such fast-growing popularity and momentum.
To be fair Sony did advertise elden ring with devs talking about their favorite From games… why? That’s the question.
Also Sony twitter account been weirdly talking about elden ring… which doesn’t make sense either

Does anyone remember when PS Japan twitter messed up the surprise???

The PS Japan mess up was about Bluepoint -- unless you're talking about something I do not know of. They leaked it on June 29, 2021. The official acquisition announcement came on October 1, 2021.

To your first point, I think that does initiate some speculations, but I think it's just Sony "marketing" these games. I foresee closer marketing ties with third-party developers in the future, and a dedicated State of Play for Hogwart's Legacy (first SOP ever for a non-exclusive third-party multiplatform game) is a reflection of that.

But who knows. I hope I am wrong and they acquire them. From Software and PlayStation Studios would both be able to help each other tremendously. It's a perfect fit.

Yeah that’s the mess up from ps Japan.

I told this before. So far Sony is acquiring studios they had some some of relation with. I think they did not stop at bungie

Also Sony twitter account only tweets about their hardware… or PlayStation studios!

We will see I guess.
 
Well, there are a lot of people who said his next game is Xbox exclusive…

You mean Jeff Grubb...

...who also said there's a "good chance" we could see Perfect Dark at E3....

...literally a day before the info on The Initiative dropped from the sky...

Yeah I wouldn't put too much stock in those particular rumors tbh.

I said from the beginning when these rumors turned up, that as an independent studio located in Japan, the only way I could see him doing something for Xbox is as a side project, while also working on a big Sony game…

This could be the case, however. That smaller would-be Stadia game now going to Xbox, and either a Death Stranding sequel or new AAA IP for PlayStation. Seems about Kojima to me.

I would love more “one of the best game I ever played”like games.
Death Stranding is perfection in game form.
But I’m open to a new IP too.


Everybody is dead set it is two Xbox exclusives.
Most people thought he was making a small game for Xbox and a big one for Sony.

When will people learn to not to trust anything that is written on the internet!!!!

This rumor came out at the same time as “gamepass is going to Nintendo” and so on. Somehow being the less crazy rumor of the bunch some people believed it!

Hyped! Just please don't let the game be stuck on PlayStation and release it on PC down the line for that ultimate experience and game preservation.

I loved Death Stranding on PS4, loved it even more on PC.

Finally time for Kojima to release that Snatcher remake! Nothing else matters.

The Snatcher or Policenauts remake would be awesome but it's Kojima we are talking about.

It's probably Salary Man Simulator with most advanced stacks of paper physics ever created.

Ends with the boss being your mother which is also your sister from the mother's side.

Looks like that old van damne movie where he takes a cyborg across the country, except this one can't walk and you gotta push it around on a sled. Instead of ladders you can lay track to help yourself and people online out ;) It's not death stranding 2 it's a new IP called death sliding.

Kojima not Rockstar

I look forward to whatever he is making, he is still one of if not my favourite developer.
We were joking.
I agree he does make interesting games. Many people say they disliked Death stranding but that game was very different from anything out there. Risky I might even say! And we need more games like that - take risks. Because the industry right now it’s pretty stale/boring.

Please not death Stranding 2.

I love Kojima but he was high off his own farts for that game. Once I finished chapter 4 I just couldn't continue.

So...so boring.
The 'reverse trike' vehicle really changed the game for me up until the point where Sam got exoskeleton gear, which kind of semented this game as a real Kojima game. Easily 8/9 out of 10 game for me.

I was in the same place as you when I first played it on PS4. Found it sooo boring up until Lake Knot City.

That is the same place where I dropped it. I found the story somewhat interesting but as soon as I had to undertake yet another delivery run, I asked myself what the fuck was wrong with me playing something so tedious and deliberately unfun and dropped it.
 

Maybe the talks failed with Xbox.

One thing's for sure: Kojima wouldn't be using Sony's studios to make an Xbox game.
Worst case scenario it's another game like Death Stranding: PS first and PC later or even multiplatform...but not an Xbox game. (or he could be doing 2 games at the same time...but unlikely)

I honestly thing mid-term plan for Sony and Kojima are similar to the Bungie acquisition. The man even wants to get into movies for god knows how long and Sony can allow for that. I'm sure talks have happened about it. Sony wouldn't basically create his studio, give him an engine for free and help him hire people if they didnt have interest in Kojima Productions in the future. Death Stranding is literally a PlayStation IP...

Depends on what he wants to do. Maybe it’s a new IP
Kojima is free to do whatever he wants! But I expect whatever he is working on will have famous actors! That’s a given!
Oh boy, more famous actors saying cringy shit, can't wait...
 
It's almost guaranteed that Sony will aquire kojima productions at this point. There's no way he'll stay independent with the way things are going.

he will probably retire in the next 5 years so yeah I can see his studio being bought by Sony with him taking the role of “ creative fellow”

that actually there is no exclusive Kojima game for Sony
Norman Reedus said he was negotiating his appearance in the Death Stranding Sequel. Kojima is recording motion capture in a Sony Santa Monica studio.

Death Stranding is on track to become the best selling Kojima game ever, both the game and the port were confirmed to become profitable shortly after launch, it was the game that earned more GOTYs of the year it was released and Sony and Kojima seem happy with each other since they did work again together in DS Director's Cut. Sony highly increased their budget for 2nd party games.

Kojima is interested on making movies or anime in addition to games, and Sony is the best partner they can get since they are also interested in combining talent and IPs from different mediums.

For sure they are working together again. The question is not if there will be another Kojima game, it's when they are going to announce it or if Sony will acquire them.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
bo Kojima is in Japan, directing mo-cap session in LA through MADO.

Mo cap = there is a game ffs

So then what do you assume he is using Sony’s Mocap stage for? “lol”

1. He's been posting mo cap studio pictures for over half a year now.

2. Sony's motion mo cap studio was also used to shoot RE Village, which last I checked wasn't a console exclusive.

Yeah no way it's Death Stranding 2 so people can relax, even though I love that game.

It is going to be action game this time with time travel (if I remember the speculative tweet sometime ago)

There's a huge gap between doing a multiplatform game and an Xbox game on a Sony mocap studio like this. Residen Evil was a multiplatform game that Sony had marketing rights with...far from being an Xbox game which supposedly that's what Kojima was doing next.
