Physint - Hideo Kojima returns to the action-espionage genre | PlayStation

Hideo Kojima returns to the action-espionage genre with PHYSINT, a new project coming to PlayStation.

[PaleMoonDeath]

I can't understate how joyful this made me watching this live..

[Nyxus]

Spiritual successor to Metal Gear!

[RaidenBlack]

" Physint, or Physical Intelligence, refers to the ability of systems, particularly artificial ones like robots or machines, to understand and interact with the physical world. It involves integrating sensors, actuators, and control systems to perceive and manipulate objects and environments effectively. Physint enables machines to adapt to changing conditions, make autonomous decisions, and perform tasks in complex real-world settings. "

[EvertonFC]

Sounds cool as

[thorstein]

And there are some connections to MI6 and espionage from between the World Wars.

[Ninver]

Sounds like you know your stuff.

[Bathyj]

Kojima is going to be the one that causea AI to go sentient and cause terminators

[artgamer]

Soo... you're saying there's gonna be sleek, Cyborg ninjas.

[notachance]

I’m disappointed he didn’t call it wooden screw

[artgamer]

Yup

[porkChop]

So apparently it isn't entering full production until after Death Stranding 2 is released. So basically 12-24 months until KojiPro really starts working on it. Why even announce it then? It's clearly a next gen game.

Regardless, I hope it's great and I'm happy to see Kojima returning to what he does best.

[EvertonFC]

It'll be PS6, the way Herman said "we will fully support you with the latest innovations"

[Kiryu1992]

This will launch day one on PS6

[porkChop]

Maybe it will but why announce it now? These publishers keep announcing games years in advance, sometimes before development has even started. What's the point? Just focus on the games coming out over the next year.

[EvertonFC]

They will not launch a new kojima movie/game on launch with small ps6 gamer numbers, they'll wait until the end of the 1st year when numbers will be at about 15m consoles sold.

[seanpitt23]

Ps6 will come out late 2027 might even be late 2028

This game will be in full production in 2026 after DS2 2025 how on earth do you think this game will be a ps6 launch it will take minimum of 3 to 4 years to make so we are looking at a 2029 to 2030 release at the earliest

[fr0sty]

Keep in mind that DS2 launching and DS2 going gold are not the same thing... DS2 will likely go gold around the end of this year and enter into final testing, and it'll be around then that Physint will start pre-production, with full production launching next year.

[Ps5conehead]

Because crybabies on here get whiny when Sony keeps quiet

[EvertonFC]

I see the cry babies have disagreed 🤣😂

[ThePacemaker]

Pork it is a self explanatory. They announced this partnership this early so that Sony can assure PS gamers that Kojima is still on board with Sony. I guess this is the first PS6 game ever announced.

[porkChop]

What? Everyone knows he's still on board with Sony seeing as they're releasing DS2 in 2025.

[ibrake4naps]

Let the next gen speculations begin.....and not end till their arrival in like 2028...

[Michiel1989]

pretty sure the way they presented it was because of the MS acquisitions recently. It's amazing that he's gonna go back to the espionage genre, but it doesn't really do much for me since production won't even start for a good while.

[Extermin8or3_]

It's in preproduction then, full development phase typically lasts about 2-3 years so 2027-2028.

[italiangamer]

First PlayStation 6 title 🦍

[EvertonFC]

Agreed, "we will fully support you with the latest innovations"

Year 1 PS6 title.

[I_am_Batman]

If even that. Kojima is competing with his past work on this one. If we assume PS6 might launch late 2028, that's not that much time to build a new IP to try and top his entire legacy. Especially considering that full production might not start until late 2025 for all we know.

[purple101]

the way the drone flew out the warehouse hangar at the end, revealing it was filmed at Sony FILM studios, is very telling, their letting him direct - for real.

[TriniOutsider]

Sony is gonna end up getting this man to make a lot of their games.

[cloganart]

DS2 and OD sound more intriguing, this is already something that's been done in the gaming genre so many times, esp. by him.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Best announcement I wasn't expecting.

[Ethereal]

So excited for this news. A ways out but just knowing about it gets me excited to see what he's cooking up.

[specialguest]

Main character will be named Viper 😏

[derek]

Laying down a marker, this made the whole industry stand up and pay attention. A new espionage game by Kojima un-burdened by Metal Gears lore.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear....

[Rebel_Scum]

but not a cardboard box!

[Chocoburger]

I love MGS, its my favorite series ever. But the lore became a mess (game play was always fun though, and that's what matters most), and it was time to move on from it.

A new IP, unburdened from the past, a fresh start? YES! This is what I've been wanting since 2015's Phantom Pain.

I have no issue with Kojima announcing a new espionage game 6-7 years in advance. I'm a grown adult who can wait for a game to finish its development cycle.

[MrBaskerville]

Yeah, it's kinda nice knowing that we'll get something like this at some point.

[Ninver]

Bout bloody time. I hope it exceeds everything he's worked on MGS. We deserve a true successor.

[-Foxtrot]

Super excited to hear more on thks

I did wish it was a survival horror game like P.T but a MGS spiritual successor is just as good

[EvertonFC]

See you in about 3 years then 😂😔🙃

[Ps5conehead]

I’m looking forward to this game. I know it will several years before it comes, out I like those espionage interactive gamex

[Stuart5756]

I would suggest that Kojima is 'flip-flopping' all over the place with these exclusives on both platforms, however it seems that his passion projects that he's 100% leading are right here with playstation.

[MrBaskerville]

Wouldn't call it flip flopping, so far main projects are ps and one smaller side project is for xbox.

[Stuart5756]

Hence my 'however' wording. Read the comment, properly.

[EvertonFC]

Must be nice playing both sides, I bet his bank accounts pretty nice too 👍

[Stuart5756]

30 mil, not all liquid I presume, 10 mil in the bank easy. Lovely life I imagine, working only passion projects and not answering to anyone, warm welcome everywhere he goes, steady day at the office most days, deligating his vision to the minions, eating out fancy every night. Well done him

[gold_drake]

cant wait for this, hope its not gonna take too long ha.

[Hereandthere]

EXCLUSIVE! No series s to hold it back.

[Crows90]

You can't be series!

[Rainbowcookie]

😅

[atsugiT2]

Stone Sprocket Plasma. Cant wait

[YourMommySpoils]

MGSV or anything as good as that game will be incredible on this gen.

[TwoPicklesGood]

Definitely way too early but no doubt about it, this will be good.

[XBManiac]

Welcome back home, Hideo.

[mastershredder]

'We're working on game that we're not working on yet'.
So you blew chow in that same room and are huffing hard. Nice. Let us know when you actually break ground.

[Crows90]

It was just filler to try to get excitement from the state of play...I think it failed.

But I'll take this over some cloud, phone game.

[-Gespenst-]

No images, no footage, no gameplay description, no story premise, and no window for when we might see / learn any of this stuff, just a name and a vague genre. Ok.
