Awesome to confirm it. His own studio and an exclusivity deal with Sony to release games on the PS.

Can't wait to see what he can do next!

I would KILL for a new take on the Snatcher franchise, one of my all time favorite games. (Sega CD version)

Kind of sad that Metal Gear might die because Konami is getting of the gaming game.


Do you see Sony trying to purchase that license from them?

Hard to see Konami willingly selling or licensing MGS to Sony or Kojima Productions. I mean Konami was vindictive enough to send a lawyer to prevent Kojima from attending the VGAs, I don't see them doing something that would help him in any way.

Sucks that MGS ended the way it did and sucks more of that this is probably the end of the series.

This! They may not be able to call it Silent Hills, but a game similar.
