Which is the same site that gave us the great PS5 RDNA2.0 Info, Sony is going to acquire Kojima Productions.
Hope it’s true. Great news.

 

[FranXico]

That would make some sense given prior history and relationship.
It's one less independent studio though.

I'd usually agree with this but, name me another publisher that would have funded Death Stranding...

 

[McCheese]

I see this being pretty divisive.

 

[OmegaSpear]

Never played Death Stranding, don't know if they are worth the money.

 

[Psykodad]

Kojima & co are always worth the money.

It's Kojima the rockstar, the demigod of the gaming industry. If he asks for money he gets it.

 

[Grinchy]

I can't wait for more amazing dialog and voice acting like this!

 

[Stiflers Mom]

MiyazakiHatesKojima : Please tell us more about it, preferably in a post with many different fonts and colours.

 

[@gkTH]

So it seems to be true that KojiPro to develop Silent Hill which is brought from Konami by Sony?

Yeh, tell that to Konami.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

I dont think I'm ready to see Decima engine Kojima game running at full fat native 4k on PS5.

Jesus

 

[demigod]

While this might end up being true, sourcing hiphopgamer and foxyuk is not a good idea. Btw has hiphopgamer ever leaked anything?

 

[Tomeru]

Yow wtf is up with MiyazakiHatesKojima ? Thats the 2nd kojipro related news. Is he ok? Someone call his house and check pls.

 

[rofif]

This shit exists because they did not had money

 

[TGO]

MiyazakiHatesKojima can you confirm this?

 

[Hostile_18]

Death Stranding franchise doesn't excite me in the least but something like Silent Hill or Metal Gear would be amazing (sure Konami would licence out).

Mixed feelings if it's true.

 

[molasar]

I see this being pretty divisive.

It should be OK as Sony lowers a risk by releasing PC versions too e.g. Predator: Hunting Grounds. And it is not said that they will limit themselves to their own console only if they can't recoup an investment in some projects.

 

[Virex]

I'm worried. My brother MiyazakiHatesKojima is on suicide watch now.

 

[Virex]

After the official announcement

No chance

But what does Geoff Keighley have to say about this?

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Would be the most pointless purchase in history.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, it makes total sense REALLY. But if you’re sleeping with the same woman every night and she doesn’t stray, it doesn’t make much difference coming out as in a “relationship”.

Kojima is totally in sonys bed, and isnt going to get out of it. Throwing a wad of cash at him isn’t going to change that.

 

[DonJorginho]

Now all we need is a Silent Hill PS5 exclusive.

AND WE ARE FEASTING MiyazakiHatesKojima

 

[Hostile_18]

No chance

Well if there teasing Silent Hill recently they would have to need the licence

CernylovesKojima has a nice ring to it.

Less negativity more positivity haha.

Two GOATs, Two Legends, Two Icons.

Wait... WORST?!

 

[darkinstinct]

"The rumor comes courtesy of HipHopGamer, who claimed the same in a video uploaded to twitter." Really grasping for straws these days, right?

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[DonJorginho]

Two GOATs, Two Legends, Two Icons.

HOLD UP.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Would suck if true, studios going exclusive is never a good thing, but it makes sense and will probably give them full financial security going forward.

It's not as if any other publisher apart from Sony is regularly and happily making these sorts of games anymore after all.

What a rubbish website and they didn't bring any "PS5 RDNA2 news". Not saying it's not true, just that the source is worth horse sh!t.

 

[Elektro Demon]

One less independent studio tho.

 

[Fenris Wolf]

While i would be more than happy to see this happen, The sources in question are not "That" Reliable imo.

 

[siekro1983]

make a MGSV sequel and complete it on nextgen hardware. i know they can't use the ip just something similar.

 

[The Cockatrice]

This shit exists because they did not had money

Thats not the reason. Nice try. Mads, Norman, Guillermo, etc. wave at you buddy. He had plenty of money. He just didnt use it properly.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Good

Now bring Metal Gear back from Konami and were all set

 

[LemmingWithaParachute]

He just didnt use it properly.

We talking about MGSV again?

Hmm... Not so sure about this one. I wouldn't be so naive, there's a high chance she's getting dicked down in the daytime and not telling you.

 

[Sosokrates]

If these acquisitions continue the platform divide will become more and more apparent.

Having to buy multiple game boxes will become a more necessary requirement for most gamers.
Kinda sucks to be honest, that I need to buy practically the same hardware twice.

I don't see playstation games going on Xbox and vice versa.

I think and hope that the PC will become versatile enough that they will play all pc + Xbox games, and Sony will be forced to put all there games on PC too, like steam.

Funnily enough when the series X was announced I actually thought it was exactly what I am describing like a hybrid Xbox branded PC.

 

[Breakage]

I wonder if Sony will be as generous as Konami was with its supply of money.

 

[DonJorginho]

I wonder if Sony will be as generous as Konami was with its supply of money.

I remember them giving Bend Studios a shit ton for Days Gone so I suspect so.

 

[Mista]

Great news if it happened. Kojima Productions got lots of talented members and I definitely want to see more of KP games

 

[OrionNebula]

Never played Death Stranding, don't know if they are worth the money.

It’s far from being just about Death Stranding here

HOLD UP.

Imma let you finish, but...

 

[Mista]

Never played Death Stranding, don't know if they are worth the money.

Ummm KP been making games since forever. It isn’t like that Death Stranding is their first game

 

[Papa]

I'm worried. My brother MiyazakiHatesKojima is on suicide watch now.

 

[Sosokrates]

I'm worried. My brother MiyazakiHatesKojima is on suicide watch now.

Why would he be? This will be a dream for him, pretty sure he loves playstation.

 

[mejin]

quality, not quantity, makes sense.

hope the acquisition is cheap just like insomniac.
