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.
how do you not know this oneWhy the f*** would Kojima have to apologize for anything? He can make games wherever he feels like FFS.
It's a meme from the old forumWhy the f*** would Kojima have to apologize for anything? He can make games wherever he feels like FFS.

It's what it is. I doubt Kojima was ignorant to the reality of handling a proprietary engine tied to a platform holder would not be a long-term solution for the studio, but it is the kind of thing that helps in the long run when they would have to make the switch and have the know-how to begin pushing whatever comes next to its limits and beyond as well.Interesting if MS publishes Kojima next game because they will need to get another game engine. Makes me think it was a mistake to go with Decima engine since all their work and efforts to learn the engine will be for nothing. If they used unreal 4 or similar third party game engine, it wouldn't be the case.
You in resetera and don't know this?? 😂Why the f*** would Kojima have to apologize for anything? He can make games wherever he feels like FFS.
I saw Earvin x Hunter at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
MS usually uses UE4 and has some teams that have been able to do wonders with it. If Kojima chooses UE4 (or even 5) I have no doubt that the teams at The Coalition and Rare will be able to lend a hand to whatever Kojima does.Interesting if MS publishes Kojima next game because they will need to get another game engine.

What if Kojima game would not get funded? You got two options in such a case...All of these 'moves' will just lead to more exclusive games from both Sony and MS.
Things like gamepass are great for competition. Exclusive games aren't.
It should get verified.
Dust on the shelf? Phantom Dust confirmed!!!! 🤣I don't really care about Kojima, and I thought Death Stranding was terrible - I'm just here to talk about how THE SHELF STRIKES AGAIN, lol.
He's gonna paint himself into a regrettable corner some day where people go off the deep end with their assumptions about what is happening based on that shelf, then become furious when it doesn't come to pass.
It's like the WWE draftIt's like the reverse of last gen. Remedy doing a game for ps5 and kojima doing a game for xbox, lol.
Xbox won't get access to the engine, but they don't need to if Kojima and his studio are allowed to use the engine source code for their games. It wouldn't be the first time a PS engine is used on Xbox. We don't know what the deal was, though. All we know is Kojima got handed the source code for Decima engine.It is a sony IP and also uses the Decima Engine from Horizon Zero Dawn. I don't know if publishers like sharing engines and technology like that. I suppose though that Sony and Microsoft have worked together in the past in regards to network security along with general network work.

He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Why the f*** would Kojima have to apologize for anything? He can make games wherever he feels like FFS.

I need a gif of skeletor shaking his fists at the skies and cursing the name Grubb.
Gamepass on switch would be something.
That's the rumor/speculation.Is this going to be the cloud-reliant project that Stadia pulled out of? Outside of Amazon (and I'm not sure how their system works), Microsoft are the only ones that have the tech to pick that up.
Yes and who knows, you might end up liking the service.They're gonna get that $15 monthly out of me for Gamepass in the end aren't they?
And paying off for Microsoft.Building a PC seems to be a good decision that keeps paying off for me.
You are going to have to hide your credit card between your butt cheeks or you're going to be Game Passing.They're gonna get that $15 monthly out of me for Gamepass in the end aren't they?
Like Death Stranding?meh, whats the point? the game will get cancelled just like the platinum games project, especially once Kojima starts bringing in the A list movie stars and the budget skyrockets 10 fold lol
Or $10They're gonna get that $15 monthly out of me for Gamepass in the end aren't they?
PC and Switch keep on being the winning combo for me, that's for sure. Gonna be like that for at least a couple years as well, it seems.Building a PC seems to be a good decision that keeps paying off for me.
heheheWhy the f*** would Kojima have to apologize for anything? He can make games wherever he feels like FFS.
i wonder at what point people will stop using scalebound as a reason for why an XGS published third party-developed game will get cancelled. 2030 maybe?meh, whats the point? the game will get cancelled just like the platinum games project, especially once Kojima starts bringing in the A list movie stars and the budget skyrockets 10 fold lol
i doubt they wanted to keep working with kojima anyway.Between MLB and this I feel like Sony is going to start getting annoyed lol.

Why? This is one game whereas Kojima is reported to be working on multiple games. For all we know they've got another project that will either be a Sony exclusive or multi-plat.
These narratives I tell ya, lol.
