Why Kojima Productions Partnered With PlayStation

"Kojima says PlayStation offers "an environment I need right now."

[Herbalistic]

Kojima chose to partner with Sony because of the strong relationship with the company..It had nothing to do with money being as he shot down other offers.

[Relientk77]

That's because Sony offers a happy, friendly environment for him and everyone to do their work

Konami's environment is a prison

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

This just goes with the good things Naughty Dog said about Sony. Hell even Quantic Dreams doesn't seems to be worried about being with PlayStation only even thought they are independent. I can see Kojima sticking with PlayStation for a while too

What Mr. House says in the end just shows how confident Sony is with Kojima. Right now this is what Kojima needs: A friendly enviroment, freedom, funds, and a trusted partnership. Senpai knows very well who he has chosen to being a new era in his career.

Dad was such a drag. Every day he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same, sit in front of the same kind of games... Yeah, he was just that kind of guy. But then one day, he goes and kills us all! He couldn't even be original about the way he did it. I'm not complaining... I was dying of boredom anyway, But guess what? I will be coming back, and I'm bringing my new toys with me.

I think P.T. was the biggest hint, "spoiler", of what was to come. The moment came, and a lot of things made perfect sense.

Glad Kojima chose Sony as he was at his best with working directly with Sony's consoles without Having to also cater to other consoles like MGS, MGS2, and MGS4.

Kojima is a loyal guy and have a great relationship with Sony so no surprise there. Looking forward to the PS4 and PC version of his next masterpiece.

Looking forward to playing the PC version with the Xbox One Elite controller and glorious 4K!

[Rookie_Monster]

Yea but the PS4 veesion comes out first so that is most likely the version I am getting first and maybe get the PC version later as well. The 4K graphics and maxed setting on MGSV on PC does make it the ultimate version though.
if it is the same Fox Engine, it will be glorious on PC.

He can make a movie with sony.

Congratulations to him!

Best move to make and he will have some peace and a happy work environment.

[MasterCornholio]

Well Sony does have a pretty good environment for developers so I believe he made the right choice.

[TwoForce]

More importantly, Kojima has strong relationship with Sony from the beginning.

[MasterCornholio]

Its the way of Japanese companies. Building a strong relationship with people that you work with is highly important there.

[Majin-vegeta]

Hopefully this can now become a reality.

I dont even know if the PS5 or 6 can handle that, that much talent working together

[kenwonobi]

Sony is one of the best environment for creative people. They encourage new ideas. It only seemed natural.

sony worships the ground this guy walks on thats why he went there

[DivineAssault]

Sony is the reason his name is global.. He shot down western offers to be with them since thats where he blew up and he feels at home.. Western companies would just waste his talent.. Kinda like how rare swirled down the toilet after selling out..

[Pancit_Canton]

Sony and Playstation are two of the many recognized brand in the world. If you want to make fresh new start, go with the brand that is well recognized and have long history in the gaming industry.

[Kingoftherodeo]

[Artemidorus]

It just means Playstation get priority, he is willing to put his games on other platforms.
