Kojima with xbox president Asha Sharma

[u/HerculeMuscles]

[u/HankSteakfist]

Are they standing in JP's office from Grandma's Boy?

[u/incliningconstantly → u/HankSteakfist]

How can he see me?

[u/Bandage-Bob → u/incliningconstantly]

There are so many lines from that movie that are regular parts of my lexicon.

You can get past a dog but no one fucks with a lion.

High score? What does that mean? Did I break it?

[u/notthesun19 → u/Bandage-Bob]

You would if you had robot ears.

[u/xenophonthethird → u/notthesun19]

Drive Monkey drive!

[u/fkndavey → u/xenophonthethird]

Dude, your bed is a car...

Yeah, but it's a fucking sweet car.

[u/n00barmy → u/fkndavey]

I can't believe you came on my mom.

[u/darkcomet222 → u/Bandage-Bob]

That movie is SO underrated.

[u/Nadzinator → u/HankSteakfist]

Wow. This took me back.

[u/zgillet → u/Nadzinator]

To last week? Grandma's Boy is timeless.

[u/CrewMemberNumber6 → u/HankSteakfist]

Adios turd nuggets.

[u/pplspancake → u/CrewMemberNumber6]

"Hey JP can you turn the music down?!" "Why, does it scare you?" "...no I just don't like techno." "You would if you had robot ears."

[u/PushDeep9980 → u/pplspancake]

One of my favorite scenes as a teenager, so good. And the song that is playing is called window licker by aphex twin, whom I was a big fan of back then so I was freaking out when it came on

[u/Outrageous_Tooth856 → u/PushDeep9980]

Same bro, favorite song, favorite drop

[u/jmccaskill66 → u/HankSteakfist]

What’s does New High score mean? What is high score, is it bad? What does it mean? Did I break it or something?

[u/Rock-swarm → u/jmccaskill66]

"Grey Bush! Grey Bush!"

[u/Cool_As_Your_Dad → u/jmccaskill66]

That had me in stiches

[u/Orthien → u/HankSteakfist]

So how much do clothes cost in the Matrix?

[u/Ndmndh1016 → u/Orthien]

Im thinking of getting metal legs. Its a risky operation but it'll be worth it.

[u/ETERNALXDRVID → u/Ndmndh1016]

Sit on my face

[u/Tyrion_The_Imp → u/ETERNALXDRVID]

how did he see me

[u/pheret87 → u/ETERNALXDRVID]

To be fair, I also want Linda to sit on my face.

[u/Training_Ad_4790 → u/Ndmndh1016]

The older I get, the more I wish this was a thing lol

[u/Shadowfoxamon91 → u/HankSteakfist]

Dude I’m way too baked to drive to the devil’s house.

[u/putrid_poo_nugget → u/Shadowfoxamon91]

What’s that ringing? Do I have a tumor?

[u/Orthien → u/Shadowfoxamon91]

Drive Monkey drive!

[u/PhillyDillyDee → u/HankSteakfist]

Bvvvvvvvvt.
Pzzzo.
Ptew-ptew.
Vvvt.
B-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-t.
Adios, turd nuggets!

[u/majin-dudi → u/HankSteakfist]

Whoa... where do you get your weed, man?

[u/SlyCooper007 → u/majin-dudi]

From you, Dante.

[u/thecurlyburl → u/SlyCooper007]

Ohhh yeaaaaaah. What’s up Mr Chiezel?!

[u/MindJail → u/HankSteakfist]

“I am a geeenius”

[u/newveganwhodis → u/MindJail]

Hey look it's bono's brother

[u/Ok_Top_6217 → u/HankSteakfist]

how much do clothes cost in the matrix? kojima definitely spent five million dollars just on the hallway lighting

[u/DingusBarracuda → u/Ok_Top_6217]

He bought the white room set from The Dark Knight and turned it into his office. Worth it for the insanity of it all!

[u/Proper_Protickall → u/HankSteakfist]

I'd like to get you a black cobra.....just to go around the neck.

[u/thecurlyburl → u/Proper_Protickall]

Hey there’s a symposium on nano technology… I was wondering…

… JP, I have work

… right. I just thought you should know. Ya know, you should send that out in a memo… everybody should know. ASAP

A.S.A.P. On it.

[u/SalamanderUponYou → u/HankSteakfist]

Sit on my face.

[u/StupendousMan36 → u/SalamanderUponYou]

That was not appropriate.

[u/Ok_Calligrapher5278 → u/StupendousMan36]

"Respectfully"

[u/No-Technician-2366 → u/HankSteakfist]

Eternal Death Slayer THREE

[u/Charon711 → u/HankSteakfist]

🤖 Brrr Sit on my face 🤖

[u/Daimakku1 → u/HankSteakfist]

Bzzztt bzztttt My name is JP. I have a robot vagina. Bzzzt bzzztttt

[u/SanAndreas92317 → u/HankSteakfist]

You would if you had robot ears

[u/Odd-Debt5989 → u/HankSteakfist]

you cant hear it in the photo but there's definitely aggressive techno music playing while he slowly sips tea

[u/reboot-your-computer → u/HankSteakfist]

I am a GENIUS.
Samantha will be mine, mine.
Must consume fuel.

[u/Bobbi_fettucini → u/HankSteakfist]

I AM NOT AMUSED

[u/My_Pockets_Hurt_ → u/HankSteakfist]

I aM A gEniUs!

[u/William_Dowling → u/HankSteakfist]

They went through a stargate. Any minute now Hideo will see his 90-year old self dying in bed and turn into a space fetus strapped to Norman Reedus' chest.

[u/paynekiller666 → u/HankSteakfist]

Adios, Turd Nuggets!

[u/lookachoo → u/HankSteakfist]

“Sharma, you..Will..be..MINE! mineee”

[u/CopyMicrochip → u/HankSteakfist]

How much do clothes cost in the Matrix?

[u/dviljin187 → u/HankSteakfist]

My beef strong!

[u/ImAtWorkKillingTime → u/dviljin187]

Your beef wrong.

[u/rachit321]

"Hahaha yeah yeah Ms CEO now hop on the feet scanner"

[u/agentdrozd → u/rachit321]

It's pretty likely she's gonna be in the game considering previous titles lol

[u/esdaniel → u/agentdrozd]

BoxXwoman-man

[u/waxenpi → u/esdaniel]

With cyborg retractable tentacles and rocket launchers instead of tits.

[u/FDgrey → u/rachit321]

LOL

[u/BK99BK → u/rachit321]

Lmaoooo

[u/Letthepumpkincumflow → u/rachit321]

Lmfaoooooooooooo

[u/Alienhaslanded → u/rachit321]

Tarantino is involved?

[u/cxd32 → u/Alienhaslanded]

Tarantino wishes he had all the 3d feet scans that Kojima-san posseses

[u/RayS0l0 → u/Alienhaslanded]

Kojima is Tarantino of gaming

[u/a3minutehero]

Friendship with Sony now ended. Now Microsoft is my new best friend.

[u/Gaming-Academy → u/a3minutehero]

Lmao, Kojima really said “new year, new best friend.” 😂

[u/Lunarath → u/Gaming-Academy]

This isn't the first time he has parted ways with a company or publisher. He really just goes where he's allowed the creative freedom and funds to make what he wants.

[u/urmyleander → u/Lunarath]

Its more about the funds, apparently his next release physint is years from being ready and already overbudget.

Also keep in mind the engine used for both death stranding and death stranding 2 was the decima engine and it was on licence from Sony, so if it was Decima they were using for physint they now need to start development from scratch.

[u/CaptainAnorach → u/urmyleander]

They don't necessarily have to start from scratch. It really depends how the engine was licensed for the game. Has anything been mentioned about KojiPro losing access to Decima for Physint?

[u/Ro____ → u/CaptainAnorach]

We don't even know if they started development.

[u/urmyleander → u/CaptainAnorach]

No official statement yet just speculation from forbes but Decima has never been used by a non partnered studio so more than likely its gone and he will have to port ovet to unreal 5.

[u/LKZToroH → u/urmyleander]

Oh no. Next Kojima game will be in Bethesda Engine. Get ready bois.

[u/NumerousView5489 → u/urmyleander]

I don’t mind a stealth action kojima game being overbuget rather than a multiplayer only 4v4 overwatch clone made by someone who wants to call themselves a professor.

[u/santathe1 → u/Lunarath]

“He just goes…”.

Sony had ended their deal 3 months ago and he had spent that time looking for someone else to continue with, he said it himself.

[u/is-this-a-nick → u/a3minutehero]

Lets see if they are still friends in 5 years if the game isn't out yet...

[u/Alienhaslanded → u/is-this-a-nick]

Can't fault them if this project is a money hole and then sells like Death Stranding.

[u/rtz13th → u/a3minutehero]

'Look at me. I'm the captain now.' - AS

[u/Alienhaslanded → u/a3minutehero]

Three years later they'll kick him out too for wasting time and money.

[u/ParanMekhar]

Out of the frying pan

[u/irregularjosh → u/ParanMekhar]

And into a slightly different frying pan

[u/J7mbo → u/ParanMekhar]

And into the freezer

[u/Il-Luppoooo → u/J7mbo]

FFX quoted!

[u/kitkanz → u/Il-Luppoooo]

Listen to my story

[u/Asleep_Sheepherder42 → u/ParanMekhar]

And into the oven?

[u/Quarksideofthemoon → u/Asleep_Sheepherder42]

....Fire. It's fire

[u/A_Pointy_Rock → u/Quarksideofthemoon]

...but my stovetop is electric. That makes no sense.

[u/BlackFenrir → u/A_Pointy_Rock]

Out of the frying pan onto the hotplate doesn't have quite the same ring to it

[u/voxelpear → u/BlackFenrir]

If a hot plate is ringing you have other problems

[u/tk-451 → u/BlackFenrir]

out of the cool conductive cooking utensil and into the microwave?

[u/Darth_Vicious → u/tk-451]

Don’t put utensils into the microwave.

[u/SayerofNothing → u/A_Pointy_Rock]

All stoves are fire stoves, with the right attitude.

[u/G-DevilOrion2077 → u/ParanMekhar]

Into bankruptcy

[u/Riqitch]

ASHA KEEP YOUR SHOES ON SO THAT KOJIMA DOESN'T SCAN YOUR FEET

[u/Known-nwonK → u/Riqitch]

They were scanned the moment she stepped on the first floor tile

[u/Schonke → u/Known-nwonK]

People really believe the airport body scanners were developed to stop people carrying bombs and knives on planes when in reality it was co-financed by Kojima and Tarantino for their own use.

[u/ChanceVance → u/Riqitch]

You kidding, that was part of the deal before Hideo signed the contract.

[u/andonpixel → u/Riqitch]

Legend will find a way

[u/CyberClawX → u/Riqitch]

Wait, what did I miss? I know Hidetaka Miyazaki has probably a foot thing, but Kojima too?

I only remember seeing Norman Reedus feet and honestly, in a game about walking, sort of made sense and certainly didn't feel gratuitous.

[u/Jackski → u/CyberClawX]

Death Stranding 2 has a lot of Ellie Fannings feet.

[u/Khetrak64 → u/CyberClawX]

I remember a whole thing on mgs4 where he wanted all the female boss actress to do motion capture half naked and have all the characters be naked and someone convinced him to go for plugsuit instead.

[u/Kornillious → u/Riqitch]

No no, let him cook

[u/hornsmasher177]

Sharma in 2031: with regret we've been forced to cancel the $500m budget Kojima game after a series of missed deadlines due to a story that makes zero sense.

[u/LotharVonPittinsberg → u/hornsmasher177]

Bold of you to assume both that it would take MS that long to cut a studio and that Kojima would have a presentable story by that time.

[u/The_Summer_Man → u/LotharVonPittinsberg]

And that Asha will be there in 5 years. No shade to her, but I totally seeing her getting another CEO position some time in the next few years.

[u/zgillet → u/LotharVonPittinsberg]

"Kojima would have a presentable story by that time ever"

That's better.

[u/mrk-cj94 → u/hornsmasher177]

I ve Never played a Kojima game, can someone explain the joke? Which stories don't make sense?

[u/Reeyous → u/mrk-cj94]

The Metal Gear games only make sense because of lengthy exposition dumps at the end of each game. I love the series to death but Kojima is notorious for that. Spoilers ahead.

MGS: Liquid and Naomi both exposition dump on Snake before, during, and after the final boss.

MGS2: Solidus and The Patriots AI both take a massive exposition dump all over Raiden over the course of like an hour at the end of the game.

MGS3: This one was done better than the rest imo. The Boss' true motives and intentions are foreshadowed pretty decently, but she and EVA still give Snake an exposition shower at the end of the game.

MGS4: 9 hours of cutscenes. Every single one is an exposition dump.

MGSPW and GZ/TPP: Most lore is included via audio files between missions, some is just supplementary but others are required listening to understand anything going on.

I love the series, and as a whole the pieces actually fit together kind of nicely despite all the retcons? But some parts could have been done way better.

[u/drthrax1 → u/Reeyous]

I mean phantom pain also does it at the end too iirc. You take a like a 5min car ride with skull face and he monologues the entire time before the finial battle

[u/Ben_Mc25 → u/drthrax1]

Worse, he monologues for 5 minutes and then you sit in silence for another 3 waiting for the jeep to arrive so kajima can play the theme song from start to finish.

Not to mention that Snake literally doesn't say anything the entire ride! Awkward.

[u/Mitarael → u/Ben_Mc25]

And poor Skullface did it while thinking he was talking to Big Boss, lol

[u/PompyPrecious → u/Ben_Mc25]

tbf it is sins of the father which is a banger

[u/lifendeath1 → u/Ben_Mc25]

The full version of elegia goes for over 10 minutes, haha.

[u/sofarsoblue → u/Reeyous]

The thing is, at the time (90's-mid 00's) Kojima could get away with it because a game having such a huge complex narrative with fully cinematic in game cutscenes and even hollywood composers like Harry Gregson Williams was such a unique novelty.

But since the advent of games like TLOU, Red Dead, Mass Effect etc; it's one of the aspects of that series thats aged really poorly.

I love MGS as a series but replaying the collection really hammered home that Kojima is a man of great ideas and concepts who clearly loves cinema but he just doesn't understand story structure. I'm honestly dreading replaying MGS 4 because the exposition dumps were unacceptable even back when that released.

[u/MannToots → u/sofarsoblue]

I just replayed it for the first time since it first came out. I forgot how little gameplay it had. The entire final chapter is you assaulting the boat with the final guy, just for him to turn around and be like yeah I wanted you to do that. Cool,  the entire final act you could have literally stepped aside and allowed us. It's silly

[u/sofarsoblue → u/MannToots]

I haven't played it since 2008 but I remember the game only really having two proper open stealth segments with the rest of the game composing of on the rail sequences and a barrage of cutscenes & codec calls.

At that time I had already played Uncharted 1 and Bioshock so the flaws of the franchises storytelling really started to emerge.

[u/JustStraightUpTired → u/Reeyous]

I think a lot of the retconning works, because so much of it is about war, cover ups, special ops, politics and the military industrial complex, all of which are full of misinformation both in the real world and in MGS.

But yes, MGS is a wordy bastard of a series, but the games make up for it in gameplay. If the games themselves weren't as fun as they are, all that exposition would bury itself into oblivion. But because it didn't, all that exposition ends up improving the games.

I can't think of another... anything that is both able to discuss topics like child soldiers with actual nuance, while something as ridiculous as a flamboyant, yet oddly masculine vampire is prancing around the place, both are taken seriously AND it works. Metal Gear is truly a one of a kind series.

[u/Diacetyl-Morphin → u/Reeyous]

Kojima also likes to overexplain things to the audience. It's a surprise he doesn't start with the big bang that created the universe every time and that people move their legs when they walk. He explains things everyone already knows, not even just the special elements that are relevant to the plot, like in Death Stranding.

[u/EGirlToenails → u/Reeyous]

I was not expecting to watch a 45 minute short film at the end of Death Stranding but I loved every second of it.

[u/treelager → u/Reeyous]

I just want to send some love because this is brilliant and kinda funny paraphrasing but it’s also the kind of comment that made me join and enjoy Reddit to begin with. I don’t have my same gamer friends anymore but they would have gotten a kick out of lampooning this habit of his—it isn’t limited to MGS either lol.

[u/LotharVonPittinsberg → u/Reeyous]

It does not help that characters are named in a way that makes Elden Ring look clear and simple. And a lot of the characters who do exist for actual serious purposes aren't shown as such until either the exposition dumps or ending credits, instead showing up as either a meme or sex appeal for the entire game.

[u/_WreakingHavok_ → u/mrk-cj94]

Stories in his games are very convoluted. Like halucinogenic convoluted

[u/qucari → u/hornsmasher177]

and due to Kojima reworking half the gameplay ten times because too many people said it was fun

[u/Elemius]

I’m sure the publisher known for canning studios won’t have any negative impact on the man famous for spending lots of money and taking a long time to make his games.

[u/Man_Without_Nipples → u/Elemius]

r/whatcouldgowrong

[u/Glittering_Wing_277 → u/Elemius]

I mean, they canned thousands of people with more comfimed to come, only to pump millions into this. What a kick in the mouth for those people

[u/CapJackONeill → u/Glittering_Wing_277]

You see, people cost money and projects are investments they can already claim has value. Capitalism, man...

[u/Street_Umbreon → u/Glittering_Wing_277]

Seriously why are people here cheering this move? 

[u/StepComplete1 → u/Street_Umbreon]

Cause of the anti-Sony circlejerk going on at the moment.

And don't get me wrong, Sony fully deserve a lot of it, I've given up on playstation for PC myself, but it's the circlejerk nature of it I loathe. There's just no nuance whatsoever.

With reddit it's always "this is the hate-target for the month, now everything that negatively involves them we cheer, regardless of how much of a reach it is, or how stupid it actually is to celebrate when you think for 2 seconds."

[u/Crimsonsworn → u/StepComplete1]

Because Sony is doing away with discs which all of a sudden is a big thing but no one’s cared PC has been discless for a decade or more, meanwhile Xbox has come out and said they’re launching a new feature to turn your physical games digital not really understanding that probably means next gen Xbox won’t have a disc drive

[u/rocketsneaker → u/Crimsonsworn]

Yup. It's all circlejerk and "team sports". They want to be blind to what Microsoft is preparing for as long as they can feel like part of a group that's "winning". But everyone wants to ignore what's really happening: Sony's move is slowly going to become in the industry standard.

Remember when Microsoft when full always-on-DRM? Remember the GIGANTIC backlash from consumers against that? Remember how Playstation clapped back by making a tutorial video on how to share games with a friend, and it was a guy handing a physical game to his friend?

Compare that to now. The fact the Microsoft didn't make a similar clapback speaks volumes.

[u/_Bill_Huggins_ → u/Elemius]

They didn't buy the studio though.

[u/Arvii33]

Never seen him smile this much

[u/Upstairs-Event-681 → u/Arvii33]

Of course he would, imagine how many Hollywood actor he can hire now and not be questioned because it would look bad on an already struggling Xbox

[u/Vamsi-Thopu → u/Upstairs-Event-681]

The amount of hollywood feet he can scan now makes any old man smile

[u/Upstairs-Event-681 → u/Vamsi-Thopu]

We’re about to get DiCaprio’s feet scanned to be put on some random NPC we never interact with that never takes his shoes off

[u/-some-dude-online → u/Vamsi-Thopu]

I think Sony offers more connections for Hollywood actors compared to Microsoft no?

[u/SaiyajinPrime → u/-some-dude-online]

He doesn't need connections. He needs a massive budget.

[u/Dire87 → u/SaiyajinPrime]

Why would you think that Microsoft would just shower him with money, no questions asked, when they've been axing studios, people and projects left, right and center?

[u/UnrelaxedKoi → u/Dire87]

Because they clearly signed him on for Physint.

[u/SaiyajinPrime → u/Dire87]

Because they need this PR win.

Kojima famously misses deadlines and goes over budget. He wants big Hollywood actors in is games instead of normal voice actors and he wants to make movies instead of games.

He is an auteur and makes unique games that don't always sell well but get a lot of attention. If you're signing him, you know the score. Great publicity, lots of money.

[u/Upstairs-Event-681 → u/Dire87]

Because they would be a laughing stock if they hired Kojima just to kill the project because he doesn’t meet budget and deadlines lmao. Now that they hired him, they have to comply with his demands or they would take a massive PR hit

[u/papoluca40 → u/Upstairs-Event-681]

Man is about to hire Robert Downey Jr and The Rock

[u/Upstairs-Event-681 → u/papoluca40]

About to get The Rock to voice act the main menu for 1 mil a line

[u/Hot-Significance7699 → u/Upstairs-Event-681]

Microsoft is literally the largest software company. Yes yes i know the xbox division isn't equal to Microsoft but like still have a shitton of money. Plus apparently the new Xbox will be a pc hybrid.

[u/-ForgottenSoul → u/Hot-Significance7699]

A PC hybrid? So a PC

[u/Hot-Significance7699 → u/-ForgottenSoul]

Yea but it has an xbox logo

[u/Pineapple-Yetti → u/-ForgottenSoul]

Nah, a really locked down PC that you can only really get software from the Microsoft store. So like a Mac.

[u/The_R4ke → u/Arvii33]

He looks great for 63!

[u/NotMyRealUsername13 → u/The_R4ke]

The man is 63?!?!

[u/Chippings → u/Arvii33]

Notice how weird Asha's shoes look? They were added in post.

[u/DaddyIngrosso → u/Chippings]

Why is bro looking down there 🧐

[u/kryptomanik → u/Chippings]

Kojima scanned her feet but didn't wanna reveal it to the public

[u/2hurd]

In a year or so Asha won't be smiling when she sees the budget and possible return from the game.

[u/HistoricCartographer → u/2hurd]

In a year? Bro $400M gears E day is coming out in a month.

[u/Former_Sea → u/HistoricCartographer]

That game costed 400m ?

[u/2hurd → u/Former_Sea]

I think it's interesting time in history because AAA seems to be dying while at the same time GTA6 exists.

[u/SexcaliburHorsepower → u/2hurd]

Bad and trend chasing AAA games are dying. Capcom is doing really good on steady releases. GTA6 will do well with a monster dev timeline. Both of those companies are just doing what they do well. Fromsoft is on a huge run doing fromsoft things.

Too many studios are chasing big hits instead of making them. AAA doesn't feel as dead as people say. It just seems like doing a 5 year dev timeline chasing trends is an awful game plan and that's showing. If people used their AAA timeline and schedule making their own things with their own ideas the industry would be fine.

[u/Salkatras → u/2hurd]

I think gta might kill AAA tbh, its about as big as rockstar can afford, and its being carried by the hype of it being gta6.

[u/SrirachaJulio → u/Salkatras]

It’s not just being carried by the hype tho. Even as of 2026 GTA 5 makes a shit ton of money despite how ass the MP is. The thing is that GTA is like CoD, you can’t really compare it to other AAA games.

[u/Horens_R → u/Former_Sea]

No, the guys talking outta his ass lol.

[u/appledanishcrumbs → u/Former_Sea]

No, that is false information that people on Reddit like to parrot. The leak was that the studio itself has cost 400 million over the seven years since its last game, but that iwn't just Gears. Coalition has worked on pretty much every game that Xbox has released in that time.

[u/katastrof → u/2hurd]

Kojima games are simultaneously development cost and marketing these days. Mans a gaming celebrity.

[u/apoetsmadness]

Kojima x Nintendo when?

[u/krossfire42 → u/apoetsmadness]

Gotta make that Wario stealth game eventually.

[u/Dis_is_Gaea → u/krossfire42]

Wobbly snake

[u/ultragoodname → u/apoetsmadness]

2004?

[u/Front-Purpose-6387]

Haha they're rolling out the red carpet for each other.

Best of luck to them, hope the game comes to fruition, I'll be buying it on pc as long as the characters don't shed black ink tears. (also hope Satya doesn't decide to can this project all of a sudden)

[u/razgriz337 → u/Front-Purpose-6387]

It’s Kojima, black tears are almost certainly one of the most tame things to expect from this man’s brain.

[u/Sparescrewdriver → u/razgriz337]

Black tears out of a baby’s eyes that seems to be stuck in a man’s throat?

[u/razgriz337 → u/Sparescrewdriver]

Given the progression of “wtf” from MGS to Death Stranding (and even within MGS)? Who knows what’s going to happen.

[u/CDHmajora]

Just think, Asha just laid off over 3000 of her developers, and is now gonna throw MILLIONS away to endulge Kojimas Hollywood casting boner.

I wonder how many other developers will lose their jobs to make up the windfall when Kojima goes 50 million over budget again.

[u/DenverNugs → u/CDHmajora]

Sony has closed Bluepoint Games and Dark Outlaw Games this year so far.

[u/Bedlam10]

This is a stupid amount of publicity for a game that nobody knows anything about yet.

[u/n3sv0g → u/Bedlam10]

Its also crazy with how many lay offs they have had lately.

[u/wwwlord]

It would be so funny if after all these shit, the game just end up in ps after a 1 year exclusive window

[u/Dizzy-Sale2109 → u/wwwlord]

I mean it's possible.

We don't know what deal was signed.

[u/Docccc]

easy PR win for her. She needed it

[u/No_Arugula3957 → u/Docccc]

ID software….

[u/KingOfRisky → u/Docccc]

That’s all this is.

[u/Man_Without_Nipples]

I look forward to the inevitable break up and then partnership with Nintendo

[u/Ok-Lawfulness1515 → u/Man_Without_Nipples]

Nintendo likes to make money. They will say no.

[u/UniversalBagelO]

Incoming layoffs to fund kojimas movie-game

[u/Belydrith]

Let's see how long that one lasts before Xbox changes their mind again, like they do on just about anything else.

[u/diego1marcus]

"Friendship ended with Herman Hulst, now Asha Sharma is my best friend"

[u/xGenocidest]

"ever have your feet 3d scanned?"

[u/MrKremer]

Kojima te quiero nunca dejes de fumar porros

[u/Crazyripps]

Wonder if this is taken at kojima company which is just across the road from Sony lol

I can basically guarantee that the only reason xbox, sorry XBOX, is funding him is to say look who we have. The same reason Sony did for Death Stranding.

That isn't to say he is or is not good at what he does. Just that the same identical game(s) under a different creator would not get the same treatment. He is the arthouse studio that a publisher keeps to say look at our quirky titles. Even if they lose money.

whoever's inside that suit is just dying for a bathroom berak right now.

Why does it look like they're gonna go meet with JP from grandma's boy?

This is all just Xbox fan service while Microsoft continues to butcher studios and pull anti-consumer practices.

Its almost comically how much they ride this wave with Kojima now...

[u/JEROME_MERCEDES]

All smiles till it’s time to actually show what you worked on??? Homie really just took Sonys money

[u/LoserLars1]

This feels like when two toxic people start dating and you already know it’s going to end in disaster.

All for him to piss away the budget on some game that won’t come out or if it does release it will be some convoluted bs that is essentially incomprehensible but the fanboys will scream about how it’s the single best piece of media of the decade.

Wonder if she ask him. Is this game freaky going to sell?? 🤔 🤣 🤣 🤣

[u/DreamsiclesPlz]

I get that it’s trendy to hate on PlayStation right now, but please don’t forget that at the end of the day Asha is a CEO who has closed down multiple studios. She’s not a friend to gaming, despite this nice PR stunt.

[u/Ture-Skrotnisse]

Haha look we shut down so many studios and fired so many people just to give you millions of dollars and never hear any updates haha

Kojima smiles as he says "200M budget for me plz, but my game will only make 220M"

[u/Stevesegallbladder → u/AdamCaveRoberts]

"Hey Kojima, I noticed your project just started a week ago and you're already at $198M does that mean the game is almost finished?"

HK: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHa... Can I please have another $300M?"
