Venturebeat: Abandoned for PS5 is not a secret Hideo Kojima game. Kojima is in talks with Microsoft about publishing his next game as per source
- Thread starter AshenOne
- Start date
If this is true, it'll be interesting to see who ultimately owns the IP. If you have a situation where Microsoft owns the IP, and the next Kojima game proves to be a major hit on the levels of Metal Gear Solid, you'll have a situation where potentially more than one Kojima game is Xbox exclusive should he want to continue working on the game.
I was just reminded of the reason I ignored his content. 🤦🏽♂️
Microsoft Flight Simulator?

The thread is fine. I've already responded positively to the news. This thread isn't about that dude. I asked a question and got jumped on.
Why are people so surprised? Independent developers most of the time pitch their games around the globe and go with the partner that makes the most sense or agrees a deal. With Xbox push for cloud and the rumored Kojima cloud game, it is a match made in the clouds. 🥁
That, and Sony kinda just got rid of everyone that was left in Japan that Kojima had a relationship with.
We don't know, but I could see that happening as well as Kojima just deciding Microsoft is a better partner for a cloud game.
Oh, it could be horror... My faint heart would have to skip out on that, then. Dang.
Boktai would actually be sick. Sadly, Konami would have be involved in that...
My gaming palette is kinda broad, but also weirdly specific in ways that Microsoft doesn't cater to. I like first person shooters, but games like Doom Eternal or Dusk, not Halo. I'm more into JRPGs than Western RPGs, and the lack of Japanese games definitely hurts their appeal for me, not just in RPGs but in things like character action games, shmups, and generally weird things like what Suda makes. Strategy games hurt my brain and self-assurance, and it legit makes me annoyed that Microsoft's main idea for catering to PC gaming is half strategy games. More puzzly stuff would be real nice, too, or a big-budget roguelike, like Hades. I also like racing games that I can actually play after I actually paid money for the damned thing before Gamepass was actually out on PC.
I think the best idea for Microsoft, Sony or someone else would be the get the gaming relevant IP and perhaps the one or two studios still there for PES. I don't think the company itself is worth it, considering neither MS or Sony are into their now main business.

As far as games go, Kojima Productions "is planning to work on multiple game projects, one of which would be a 'big' game". But Kojima is planning on making some smaller games, too, including episodic and digital-only titles.
So is this Xbox title supposed to be the "big" title, or the smaller episodic one?

Hey thanks for sharing! I wasn't aware of this, but it's cool cause it just proves the tech is available. We're still a long way off from cloud gaming becoming the norm but it's inevitable IMO. MS would be wise to invest in more projects that leverage this stuff
First it was shirts (he teased Battletoads in 2015 this way)
Then he used his shelf.
What's next ?
It's likely Xbox picked up this game that was pitched for Stadia but Google rejected it.Someone posted this in the PS OT from last year, it originates from Famitsu:

Sounds like the smaller one, which would be a bummer. I'd love a full-fledged AAA kojima exclusive on XboxSomeone posted this in the PS OT from last year, it originates from Famitsu:

He said in 2019 that he had "one big thing" in mind related to streaming. So that's difficult to know I guess.
Hideo Kojima Teases a "Big Thing" Related to Streaming and Cloud Gaming
Hideo Kojima believes in cloud gaming platforms like Google Stadia and wishes to leave his mark in a future where movies and games became one.

Makes sense. So then this is likely the smaller digital only episodic one and the fate of the "big" title is unknown as of right now. Would that be a fair guess?
"Abandon"?
The relationship between Kojima's projects and PlayStation has always been one of business, not some "Loyalty to the Family", nor is "Honor and Shame" huge parts of it.
He and his studio will find any business they can to get the money coming in, be it with Sony, Microsoft, or anyone else, with their games on whatever platform they can get them on. I mean, the big rumor was is that his next title was going to be for Stadia before Google cowed-out on the platform and shutdown all development.
Kojima just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Kojima's next game for any system, nor will they purchase any of Microsoft's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Kojima has alienated an entire market with this move.
Kojima, publicly apologize and cancel your unannounced game for Xbox or you can kiss your business goodbye.

It doesn't really have to be though. You can own both consoles...one of the companies even offers a pretty good next gen console that is a great Gamepass machine for $299.
Oh shit, I think I just became a Gamepass Warrior.
Alright, fuck me then. Your word is gold as far as I'm concerned.
Again, genuinely sorry for causing a derail. Not my intention.
Good day Matt. By any chance would you know if this title is the "big" one KojiPro is working on or if it's one of the smaller episodic titles referenced in the article several posts back?
I chose PS5 because they've got a bunch of stuff I'm interested in coming in the short term, but there's no way I'm limiting myself to Sony this gen. If xcloud isn't where I want it to be in a year or two then that Series S is gonna be looking mighty appetizing lol. Exciting times!
Yeah makes sense. I expected current PlayStation to not particularly fight for another Kojima exclusive. Doesn't really check a box for them and Death Stranding didn't set the world on fire either.

Thank you for standing your ground though, it was hilarious to watch
Here we go again
PT is funding the next Kojima game about MST.
From a purely spectator point, this is a baller move by Microsoft if true. My god, they came to play this gen. Phil is not phucking around.
Scalebound falling apart has no bearing on how a Kojima project would be handled, especially since he is coming off of a massive AAA open world title that was made in 3 years time.
I'd hope so considering they mostly sat last gen out. Plunking down billions to buy up publishers is an interesting way to do it I suppose.
