We give our thoughts on the why the exciting news that Hideo Kojima’s new studio are initially developing exclusively for the PlayStation 4 will suit both parties. We also ponder on what we hope to see from Kojima Productions' first new IP."
Hideo Kojima and PlayStation go together like hobbits and breakfasts. That is to say, they're meant to be together, but they're also happy to serve up a PC port or afternoon tea if the time is right. Kojima's long-time collaboration with Sony means it always feels odd to see his name next to an Xbox logo, like Master Chief appearing on your PS5 or glimpsing your teacher in the big Tesco doing her weekly shop.
yawn. ^ All of this opinion piece sounds like someone’s recount when they get out of the norm and go on a hiking vacation and boast about their “life changing moments” over things extremely common and accessible to everyone. Get a rocket ship and take some selfies already. jezzus .
If you missed out on old games it’s nothing to apologize for. Just the way life goes sometimes. We can’t access everything in our short lives.
Luckily, everyone seems to like Death Stranding 2
Kojima has always been full of it... this is another example of his BS.
Kojima is as dumb as a stack of bricks. 🤷 His lust over gamers hating his games is just silly. He's a lousy story teller and he should stick to making games built around compelling gameplay.... The moment a cutscene starts my eyes auto roll.
Dumb as a stack of bricks? Funny, some comments have the same effect on me. Instant eye roll.🙄
I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.
I'm playing through it for my first time, enjoying parts of it, and other parts not so much. It's definitely a Kojima ass game in all the good and bad ways. Honestly the combat/stealth sucks ass in it tho, which is really the worst part for me, which is a bit inconceivable given MGS V.
Exactly. The combat and stealth suck and are just shoehorned in to deliver a layer of challenge.
Hold your breath when going through the same BT areas EVERY time.
Nonsense about weather forecasts when it ALWAYS rains in certain areas no matter what.
Tedious Cliff fights.
Dumb BT fights that you can 100% walk (wade) away from without the enemies attacking you.
Broken lore about dead bodies.
The list is long.
Having said that, I've platinumed both versions from scratch.
Then why do a sequel straight away?
Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.
How world affairs shaped the core theme around ‘connection’ in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
Really interested to see what is going to happen here. I'm a big fan of Kojima, and think it's high time that he made this move. Fingers crossed that we'll finally get our Kojima and Junji Ito collaboration.
Hopefully he rekindles his relationship with Norman Reed us and Guillermo Del Toro! Now he has the creative freedom he's always needed :D
You bet. Sony's budget + Kojima's talent... this is the true ending of MGSV
I think the collaboration between the two was there since Ps1 days.
But now, they've just made it official.
Here's hoping that Konami continues its trend of making stupid decisions and sells off the Mgs franchise so Kojima can buy what rightfully belongs to him.
The possibilities are staggering, Kojima must be doing back-flips over this, I personally want a Snatcher/Bladerunner style game.
