I guess the main question with the rumours is how likely might it be that Sony have acquired Konami and/or their biggest IPs and now have various studios such as Kojima Productions, Bluepoint or others now remaking them?

Not likely on acquisition part. Likely that they have a deal for Sony to be the developer for IP’s.

Unless Sony is ok with gambling? Then they could?

If he's inside the SIE lobby when he took this picture, what is the building that we're looking at?
The building looks like one of the Shinagawa towers which are a block or two from SONY group headquarters...but I dont think you can get that photo from the SONY lobby.


Kojima headoffice is also in Shinagawa but not that building afaik. His office is also 'close' to the SONY headquarters.

Thanks for doing the research. So essentially, this could just be nothing.

How can you tell? The building pictured isn't a Sony building.
He is taking a picture of the building his office is in from the SIE lobby.

If he's inside the SIE lobby when he took this picture, what is the building that we're looking at?

I believe that is his building, 99% sure.

Where are you getting the idea that that was taken from the sie lobby
I was there in 2019.

EDIT: here is a shot on Google maps from a weird angle on the side of the building.

Nah, its right there.

EDIT: sorry for the mess, I think I responded to everyone.

That dude (AccountNGT) was exposed to be a fraud. He stole the Star Wars Eclipse information (his only legit leak ever) and since then has been trying to make his predictions look like insider knowledge.
He leaked a new Hogwarts Legacy trailer in March so I mean 🤷

Fair enough, didn't look like the tweet photo could have a clear picture of Shin from Sony. As for Kojima's offices, didn't think they were in THIS Shin tower but glad to have first hand knowledge. Now where is Blue Box's office?

Doesn't make sense.

Pretty sure that Kojima Productions is in Shinagawa.

Both the Sony Corp and SIE buildings are in Minato.
 
Is that actually him finding out about it or is just something he's used from an older show/podcast of theirs? I'm assuming that it's old?


It's always nice to get some good news in gaming, irrelevant of the platform it's for but I do tend to contain my expectations with things like this. I'm sure it isn't but if that image is from when he was told then that's a but more than a surprised look, that looks more like genuine shock rather than a surprise game announcement.
 
Okay so we know this wednesday they will be announcing the PS Plus lineup for April, as they usually do, so they might as well detail the changes they will be making to the service.

Best case scenario:
God of War Ragnarok State of Play for this Thursday or KojiPro acquisition

Worst case scenario:
Spartacus official announcement

Nah I was right there in 2019, they are super close. I have pics on my IG in Kojima's building and in that Sony building but my IG is private. I would need time to figure out how to get the pics on here.

A broken clock still gets the time right twice a day... and the Hogwarts re-reveal was also talked about by other people long before AccountNGT decided to jump onto that train as well.

Not to mention how the dude got stuff wrong quite often - like the next-gen version of GTA V getting another delay - and then deleted all the tweets/Discord messages once he was proven wrong on those.

Another Twitter insider wannabe.

Unless Kojima Productions is also in Minato, I can't see how it makes sense. Or how we're supposed to look at a picture of KojiPro HQ and somehow conclude its taken from inside a Sony building? Bit of a reach.

Shinagawa and Minato are next to each other.
Tokyo is big lol. Even for bordering wards - the scale of the Kojima IG pic seems off.

I don't see Sony doing much of anything without hyping it up without some sort of build-up promotion.

Buying developers is something they can just drop because its business to business, and not like a product being offered to the public. Got to be honest if there's anything about Spartacus, I'd suspect it'll be handled like PS5 launch was; initially just announcing a name, with maybe some basic explanation of how this is replacing/augmenting PS+/Now in the future.

I would be extremely surprised by a showcase out of the blue, I doubt it'd be effective to promote what is supposedly a big deal.

Not saying Tokyo isn't big, but look at the map. They are literally across the street from each other. It appears the buildings sit on the border of the two wards, one on Minato's side and the other on Shinagawa's side.

Eh I don't buy it but I hope I'm wrong.

Kojima probably just wanted to post a pic of where he works.

I checked google street view, and actually you can, same perspective and everything.

Honest question, can you explain how his response means there is heat from Sony on forums?

Overall ... not expecting much from these rumors. We've been through this before. I think Sony really needs some games for the holiday period this year, and it shouldn't be GoW 2.

Millia.A seems to be teasing a Konami announcement. She has a poll ending in two days. But she is unreliable honestly.
