I'd have been very surprised if Sony had let this opportunity go. Imagine what they could do with this guy in a team that's given the same importance as Naughty Dog. Scary.
If given the same freedoms as Media Molecule and TeamICO and PD, don't expect any product release until mid PS5.I'd have been very surprised if Sony had let this opportunity go. Imagine what they could do with this guy in a team that's given the same importance as Naughty Dog. Scary.
Just a few on stage japanese translations of Kojima's next project by Cerny-san himself would be surely enough.
Q8. Will Kojima’s second title (and beyond) not be PlayStation console exclusives?
We announced an agreement regarding Kojima’s first title, and SCE cannot comment on titles beyond that.
Let's be honest... Sony more than likely has stipulations/clauses in place dealing with sequels and/or other future titles from Kojima Productions. It makes sense for Sony to gauge how successful (or not) KP is with their first PS4/PC title - without going into a full blown costly partnership with a brand-new studio. And if KP is successful with their first title, then they'll have more than enough leverage when it comes to future IPs or even long-term partnerships.
Sony's control revolves around owning the IP. I doubt there is much commitment beyond that as both Kojima or Sony will probably want to use the first title as a feeling out process and to help determine if each other will make viable partners.
Wait...Knack 2 by Kojima CONFIRMED!
This doesn't look like the logo of a company making Knack 2.
I believe it is owned by Kojima.I wonder what engine they will use as I assume they can't use the Fox engine.
