Hmm I don't know if that's a clear hint at the rumours being true though...

That quote could just mean what they're doing with the Final Fantasy timed/console exclusives, having marketing rights for the mainline Resident Evil games, probably pushing for some sort of PlayStation exclusivity with the next Persona game, etc.
I don't think that it relates to the Silent Hill/Metal Gear Solid stuff.

Last time you looked at hints that Ragnarok was releasing 2021 based on that dude's comment. Looking like that isn't the case (still not confirmed either way, to be fair)
I guess we'll see, but I don't think everything is cryptic in nature

I believe it does. It states they’re going to continue making 3rd party licensed games. As above mentioned it could include Final Fantasy too but we are speaking in plural.

It says "Japanese licences"
He could be talking about driving licences for all we know.

RE2 remake was one of the best games in recent years.
Silent Hill isnt rumoured as a remake, Only MGS which would be incredible
Plus I dont think this is any proof about MGS and Silent Hill even though I think they are happening

He's just talking about the good relationship they have with Japanese companies. That's it.

It does mean they have licenses to 3rd party Japanese games. But which ones is the actual question, MGS and Silent Hill since the rumours are so strong would be good guesses, hence the OP.

The rumored Silent Hill isn't a remake.

Sounds more like a fantasy you thought of when reading that sentence OP.

Says they're also developing titles
They're not developing games like FF16 or Resident Evil
But yeah could just be reading too much into it as well

This is absolutely incorrect.
He's absolutely not talking about Licensed games. He's talking about "Lincensees" (Two "E"s ) which simply means third-party partner companies (IE: They have a license to produce games on PlayStation consoles).
If it was Sony to have the license to make games with their IP, Sony would be the Licensee, not Konami.
Incidentally, the wording is "Licensee-sama" (ライセンシー様) and Sama (honorific) is an absolute indicator that he's talking about companies, not games. You don't call a game or an IP "sama". That is reserved in Japanese to people or companies. So yeah. You're wrong and this thread is all kinds of a reach.
No. It does not. I understand that you may have been tricked by a mistranslation from some crap site, but in that case, you should really avoid reading or using as sources websites that falsely report from articles in Japanese without understanding a word of the language and resorting to Google translate. Those incompetents only create misinformation.

Jesus Christ OP, are you high again???
This is why you never put pumpkin seeds in your reefer. Just take a clean hit. Don't fuck with the product and the product won't fuck wit u.
Adding all this other stuff just fucks up your cerebrum and if you're not careful, your frontal cortex.

Why would someone license a company? Is that like the purchasing of shares from companies like Kadokawa?

For fuck’s sake, this can be applied to so many other IPs/licenses as well it can’t even be narrowed down to even 20
It’s as ridiculous as saying it’s a direct nudge to Persona 6 or Nier 3 or something...

They are LicensEEs. They have the license to publish games for PlayStation. That's what LicensEE means. IE: Third-party developers and publishers. This is basic English, not Japanese.

I gather that’s all on the Japanese side because the English text states Sony will be developing third party games.They are LicensEEs. They have the license to publish games for PlayStation. That's what LicensEE means. IE: Third-party developers and publishers. This is basic English, not Japanese.

There's no "English text."
You literally copied a mistranslation by some bad site obviously made by someone who obviously doesn't speak a word of Japanese. The original text is only Japanese.

I’ll believe it when I’m playing them on my TV. MGS has a little better chance I think, but i don’t have much confidence in this Silent Hill anymore. Also, what in that quote indicates that Silent Hill and MGS are rumored games? I think Sony is just saying that they are supposedly going to work closer to the studios in Japan.

Seriously、some people have too much time on their hands and read too much in every little word they read.
I am sure at some point there will be a new Silent Hill game, because there were so many rumors about it, that it is hard to imagine there is no truth to it, but this statement does not hint at anything.

Reads like Bloodborne: R and Bloodborne 2, to me!

I expect Sony to snap up and collaborate with more fan favourite video gaming and anime properties. That seems to be their strategy going forward. 1st party blockbuster narrative driven games that can cross over to other media plus fan favourite Japanese properties that can appeal globally. Eventually more and more platform agnostic as their value will be in the properties they own and the consumers they reach. This PC thing is just the beginning so that consumers don’t riot. Then the releases will be for newer games and even same date of release, as long as the initial sales are good with the current first PC releases.
I’m biased since I’m a PS first gamer, so I hope at least they get MGS and Silent Hill.

Yeah most do release ports and remakes without care and alot more will probably still release silly remakes and ports.
But this gen especially we’ve had a few good ones even if some are mostly graphical and FPS updates.
Games that had graphical remakes from the ground up but stayed mostly true to the original:
Spyro Trilogy
Crash trilogy
Crash Team racing
Shadow of Colossus
Demon Souls
Tony Hawks 1+2
Remakes which were different but mostly Good:
RE 2 remake,
RE 1 Remake ( gamecube hd port but still was a fantastic remake and one of my favourite games of all time)
Zelda Links Awakening
Pokemon: Pikachu and Evee ( left alot to be desired but still )
FF 7 Remake ( mixed reacts but still a good remake )
Ratchet and Clank 2016
Metroid Samus Returns
Yakuza Kiwami 1+2 ( 2 especially )
As long as we get New IP and good sequels I dont mind a good remake/port.
I really enjoy a good remaster and remake. Sometimes more than the originals or over new games At times.
A remake of MGS by bluepoint would be amazing but I think Id like some stuff added to it.

That doesn't reveal anything. But I still believe there's another Kojima ruse.
