Kojima is better off really. Shitstation 6 is just gonna be a streaming box where you have to pay a monthly subscription to use even offline which is why they want you to plug the fucking thing online so they scalp your bank account dry. Would Kojima really wanna associate himself with such parasitic faggots such as SOYNY?

Kojima Productions were involved heavily with the Decima engine for Horizon. I was told those games sold a morbillion copies and is a trillion dollar franchise, why would they kill a partnership like that
Kojima Productions just used the Decima engine as a base for their work in Death Stranding, Horizon didn't (AFAIK) use anything of theirs. Just think of it as an internal client.
 
"Sony is retarded" is the simplest and most likely explanation. This is only the latest in a long line of very bad business decisions over the course of the PS5 generation.

If you're looking for serious speculation, then it's probably a combination of:

  • Death Stranding 2 underperformed.
  • Kojima is infamous for going way over budget.
  • Playstation appears to actively not give a shit about anything that isn't GTA/Horizon/live service.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the disc cancellation. Kojima/Kojipro games tend to be pretty large and he’s famously libertine with other people’s money. I can see PHYSINT being estimated at a shitzillion GB install and Sony refusing to choose between reversing course for one creator (albeit one of the largest alive today) and printing discs, or dealing with the bullshit of having sufficient capacity for 3 million customers to be able to download and play on Day One.

I don't think the disc stuff had anything to do with it, it was sony ending the partnership not kojima, it's most likely just kojima being kojima and over spending and delaying so much that it just wouldn't turn a profit
 
Unironically based move.
Fuck Kojima and his "Oh, I assure you, our main girl being half naked all the time is relevant to the plot" is pissing me off.

At least Stellar Blade knows it's a Nier Automata ripoff and made its main character being goonerslop the main selling point.

Sure, but if Koji’s demand was “this game is going to be this large, no cuts will be made” and Sony had enough of his bullshit. Sure wouldn’t be the first time. Koji really could be that much of a diva.
 
Maybe, and I know that sounds like a meme especially in this place but what if Sony and its California branch/ HQ are genuinely racist towards the Japanese? Closing of Japan Studio, censorship of games and art boxes, ending its relationship with Kojimbo when they were willing to burn cash on the most abhorrent games that never had a chance to be a return of investment etc.
As retarded as it sounds, it does remind me of old forum posters that would constantly shit on Japan/weebs, despite being dents for any western capeshit slop. They seemed to mostly be gen-Xers. Maybe they actually are the sort of people in charge of sony these days.
 
Ok so between the two who is more of the lolcow gaming company, Playstation or Bethesda (I guess Microsoft is included under that)?
Bethesda is still worse because they’ve had no wins since 2018. And in true lolcow fashion, they can’t handle criticism or take any advice. So they keep doubling down on things that their customers hate and it’ll all come to a head in time.
 
Sony is going to be printing money once the new god of war game releases. The weak link in those games has always been kratos and sony knows this. Expanding the atreus missions from Ragnarok into a stand alone game where you play his mom is an amazing idea. Sony knows what people want and they always deliver.
 
Sony 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 PS6, nor will they purchase any of Sony's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sony has alienated an entire market with this move.
Sony, publicly apologize and rehire Kojima or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Its game over for Soyny, we had a good run..
