More likely his horror game, now called Overdose, starring Margaret Qualley as the main character.
People who mocked Phil´s travels to Japan are having a hard time accepting that Kojima is working on an exclusive game and all of the 3 Persona games coming to Xbox.
I'm not sure it's a horror game. I'm not even sure it's a game in the traditional sense. Also you said it was exclusive. I don't think you are right. Let's keep this open as a gentlemen's bet. Let's see which one of us is better at interpreting PR. No drama!
Hmm. I don't know why a horror game would need cloud computing, but you can certainly do a lot with the tech. I guess you never really know.
@awiseman
Wtf kind of comment is that? Japanese companies are successful all around the world so why shouldn't foreign companies be successful in Japan?
Maybe Xbox made him a really good offer, idk, but ... Kojima likely would have asked Jim Ryan first for funding first given his relationship with Sony. Maybe it's to do with MS's cloud infrastructure?
I'm probably going to have to get an Xbox for this at some point (unless it's bad). They're rumoured to have greenlit Death Stranding 2 ... so why not this?
I'm just venting a bit, tbh. MGS1 was the first game I ever bought as a kid with a second-hand PS1, and I've always liked Kojima's games.
If it's a good game, I will play it somehow ... and I don't like gaming on PC. I haven't seen any of the rest of MS's conference - I'm in no rush to buy an Xbox and I'm vocal about my issues with MS.
I just having a gut feeling that this was avoidable. Sony may have been disinterested in funding a completely new IP with another weird concept because Death Stranding didn't meet their sales expectations.
Resistance 3 also didn't meet their sales expectations, and then MS managed to get Insomniac to make Sunset Overdrive (Sony probably could have funded that game). After that, Sony secured their relationship with Insomniac, and the rest is history.
He made Death Stranding for Sony, and that game...well, lets put it this way if Sony can support Kojima with that then I don't think they'd reject something else from him.
Wait xb can reject marvel and kotor but Sony can't reject a game concept?
OK pal, as for a bigger wallet that's true and why I always find it incredible how xb makes mediocre titles
They've pretty much confirmed Death Stranding 2 already so it can't be that. The rumor of Kojima working with Xbox is years old now and has always been known to be a cloud based game. No surprise here.
Well, I doubt they rejected it because you are correct in saying Sony doesn't have the infrastructure. At least based on what was said it'll be using MS Azure Cloud somehow.
Kojima said he's using Microsoft's cloud tech. If you want to make a new type of game using cloud computing Xbox is pretty much the way to go. Their cloud infrastructure is really advanced and already has tools available for gaming.
Everything Xbox does releases on PC, why waste money on a console for one game?
"I don't like gaming on PC" plug the controller in, plug the PC into your TV, and boom, you don't even know the difference aside from your multiplayer suddenly becoming free
He literally says it in the video. It's a cloud based game. Sony doesn't have a dedicated cloud infrastructure.
(in fact they're using Microsoft's for their own projects lol)
And some speculate that it was meant to be a Stadia game at first,
But then Google pretty much abandoned Stadia and their gaming plans, so Microsoft picked it up along with the leading Stadia game designer ,Kim Swift, She was supposed to work with Kojima on the cloud game for Google.
I think it would be similar to DS only in that it would likely feature a more advanced version of "strands". So some sort of asynchronous interactivity between players. That's probably why he's using Azure and working with Xbox. Gameplay will in all likelihood be entirely different.
After all the talk, it's official, seriously big news right here, love him or hate him, he does unique things, which I would rather have than any copy-pasted game of these days
They signed a letter of intent for a future partnership and project. This announcement makes that partnership official. We've known about this for a long time though, it was leaked that they were building a new exclusive together.
Kojima made it clear that he did not want his studio to be acquired by anyone. He has exclusive content with Sony and now with MS. I don’t see any issue here.
This was rumored and hinted last year. The logo was in Phil's desk. A certain group of ppl said it wasn't real. Well, here are. Kojima, just Like any contractor goes where the money is. It's not so much about Favoritism but about resources and funds, as well as exposure.
@vermin
It’s ok he’s testing the water we all know that unless it’s a pew pew broom broom game it’s not going to sale on Xbox and will appear a year or so later on PS🤷🏿 Anyways I can’t wait for more info on that game as I didn’t get attracted to his last one, maybe this will be the”controversial game” he talked years ago 🤣
I've been telling people for ages that we already knew Kojima and Xbox were making an exclusive together and everybody just disagreed and said he'd never work with them. Just the other day someone said Kojima wouldn't work with Xbox because he loves the DualSense too much. I mean you can't make this shit up, people are delusional.
You don't sign a letter of intent with a company you have no intention of working with. Especially when that company has the cloud tech you need to build your new project.
@ orchard
Remember to buy the game no GP 💩 if you guys want kojima to work again with Xbox as you guys said above he’s a contractor and go where the money is and if he don’t make it on Xbox he’ll go somewhere else (maybe Nintendo 😂 )
While I doubt KJP has been acquired, and I've not heard any rumours around that other than wishful thinking; depending on when the deal was done, he could still make an Xbox game while being owned by Sony, like Deathloop and Ghostwire.
Finally making that kinect game he promised years ago
Maybe Xbox made him a really good offer, idk, but ... Kojima likely would have asked Jim Ryan first for funding first given his relationship with Sony. Maybe it's to do with MS's cloud infrastructure?
I'm probably going to have to get an Xbox for this at some point (unless it's bad). They're rumoured to have greenlit Death Stranding 2 ... so why not this?
I'm still skeptical about a cloud game 🤔
