Hideo Kojima returns to the action-espionage genre with PHYSINT, a new project coming to PlayStation. Enjoy this short message from Head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst, and founder of Kojima Productions Hideo

 

[Elios83]

Megaton. Next gen Metal Gear Solid with Sony.

 

[RoadHazard]

More interested in this than Death on the Beach. Should be ready for the PS6 Pro launch in 2032 or so.

 

[kruis]

It looks like MS got the short end of the stick with their exclusive Hideo Kojima project.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Weird way to announce it but this could be even better than MGS 3 and Splinter Cell Remakes so I'm excited for this.

 

[Gudji]

Guess it's coming for PS6 launch or first couple of years.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Can't fucking wait

 

[adamsapple]

"It's an interactive game but also a movie at the same time"

So he's making 2 interactive movie-like games after Death Stranding 2. That's his new shtick ?

 

[RoadHazard]

"It's an interactive game but also a movie at the same time"

Doesn't that describe every Kojima game since at least MGS4?

 

[Saber]

Hey as long it doesn't have interference or dirty touch from Sony, I'm pretty happy for him. Can't wait to see what he is producing.

 

[FrankWza]

 

[Glass Prison]

2030 hype train

 

[adamsapple]

Doesn't that describe every Kojima game since at least MGS4?

The 'movie at the same time' and Sony movies studio implies he'll be using live action content, ala Remedy's games.

 

[Represent.]

PS6 title, cross gen at best. Im all in though. Funded by Sony, powered by Decima, lets go!

 

[nial]

SCEI is on a roll.

 

[Bernoulli]

DS2 for the PS5 Pro and this for the PS6

 

[MDSLKTR]

I feel like we're back in 2000 bros, the first trailer will break us.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Kojima apology for the 2 Death Stranding games.

 

[Sanepar]

For xbots 2h videos. For ps and pc all games. Good Kojima good...

 

[Roufianos]

!

 

[ungalo]

Very big news.

Death Stranding 2 looks crazy but i know it's not for me, so the fact he's going to make another MGS-like game but an entirely new IP is perfect for me. Best surprise for a long time.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Getal Mear ?

 

[omegasc]

I know what you are thinking, but it physn't Metal Gear Solid.

 

[Heaven Angel]

Hideo Kojima, this is is a legend walking. Working day and night I suppose

 

[tmlDan]

I loved the DS2 trailer but i much prefer this route for Kojima, im super excited for this. Whenever it comes out lol

 

[Rockman33]

2030 at the earliest. More likely 2031-2032. Pretty insane early announcement.

 

[killatopak]

This is like when Jordan returned after his baseball stint.

 

[RoadHazard]

The 'movie at the same time' and Sony movies studio implies he'll be using live action content, ala Remedy's games.

Hmm yeah, could be... Not a fan of that. Don't like the disconnect between cutscenes and gameplay.

FININT

Financial intelligence (FININT) is the gathering of information about the financial affairs of entities of interest, to understand their nature and capabilities, and predict their intentions. Generally the term applies in the context of law enforcement and related activities. One of the main purposes of financial intelligence is to identify financial transactions that may involve tax evasion, money laundering or some other criminal activity. FININT may also be involved in identifying financing of criminal and terrorist organisations.

Brace yourself, Kojima's about to predict the collapse of modern society.

 

[Shubh_C63]

My brain thought DS would become MGS somewhere down the road but an actual action crazy tactical espoinage slash movie game seperate is the best scenario.

second IP by kojima

 

[TGO]

It's gonna be Metal Gear Solid in all but name.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Despite little to no details, rhat was a mighty flex radiating lost E3 energy.

Great end for a great SoP.

 

[Frwrd]

Getal Mear ?

Setal Mear Golid ¡

 

[Withnail]

OD must be his weekend project

 

[Mr Hyde]

Kojimas work ethic is insane. Say what you will about his games but dude is a visionary still capable of delivering original, creative AAA stuff. Mocap and facial animations on DS2 was insane.

 

[Spitfire098]

It looks like MS got the short end of the stick with their exclusive Hideo Kojima project.

Hopefully Kojima needs to delegates the cloud game to his B team.

 

[Damigos]

Doesn't that describe every Kojima game since at least MGS4?

Since mgs actually

 

[KormaChameleon]

You had me at "Kojima announce tactical espionage new IP"

 

[Naked Lunch]

The guy spent most of his life developing espionage games.
I was hoping with him leaving Konami - he would work on all new genres and ideas till he retired.
Now hes going right back to retread?
The dude isnt getting any younger.
Even as a huge MGS fan, not a fan of this news.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

"It's an interactive game but also a movie at the same time"

So he's making 2 interactive movie-like games after Death Stranding 2. That's his new shtick ?

You a fan?

If this is a new generation Snatcher then he can make it as cinematic and crazy as he wants. How many games even excite people these days from guys like Kojima?

This one could hit all the right cords and the the new proper MGS or whatever espionage game of the future.

And let it be very clear, Kojima hasn't hit the right note with me since MGS4 and Peace Walker. I'm no advocate or ardant defender. This new DS looks legit crazy good in a crazy way and new espionage from him is instant interest.

 

[Gaelyon]

Solid Beach.

Kojima's at peak of his talent and will be making his dream project : An espionage movie/game with Sony's funding (both Sony PS and Columbia Sony Picture). I'll be waiting. Meanwhile DS2 seem magnificent and the usual crazy.

 

[delfrickintree]

Getal Mear ?

You know if you look up anagrams of metal gear there is some really cool variations..

alert game

arm eaglet

and many more

This is the first good thing Herman has done in his tenure as PS Head.

He got a heavy hitter, exclusive, New IP from a top dev.

 

[Darsxx82]

"It's an interactive game but also a movie at the same time"

So he's making 2 interactive movie-like games after Death Stranding 2. That's his new shtick ?

These are the same words I use in OD for Xbox. Including "it's something I've always wanted to do and it's going to redraw the boundaries between gaming and film" and "it'll be made with a group of geniuses I call Avenger."

Cloud tecnologie will be used surely also....

I don't know what it will be, we are talking about 2030-32. But the coincidence in words is still curious. I don't know, maybe a project more focused on horror and another on espionage??

 

[Camreezie]

He should release his other projects or at least give release dates before announcing more with vague to no info

 

[Bartski]

The acronym "PHYSINT" typically stands for "Physical Intelligence." In various contexts, it might be associated with different meanings. Here are a couple of possible associations:

1. Military and Security: In military and security contexts, PHYSINT might refer to Physical Intelligence, which involves the collection and analysis of information related to physical elements, such as infrastructure, terrain, or the characteristics of physical objects. It can be a part of intelligence gathering to support military or security operations.
2. Technology and Cybersecurity: PHYSINT can also be associated with the field of technology and cybersecurity. In this context, it might refer to Physical Intrusion, a term used to describe unauthorized physical access to secure areas, facilities, or systems. It involves assessing and preventing physical threats to information systems.

The connection between PHYSINT (Physical Intelligence) and tactical espionage lies in the utilization of physical information and characteristics to support espionage activities. Here are some points of connection:

1. Surveillance and Reconnaissance: PHYSINT plays a crucial role in surveillance and reconnaissance activities. In tactical espionage, operatives may use physical intelligence to gather information about the layout of buildings, locations of security systems, and other relevant physical details to plan and execute covert operations.
2. Infiltration and Access: Tactical espionage often involves gaining physical access to secure locations. PHYSINT can aid in understanding the physical security measures in place, identifying vulnerabilities, and devising strategies to infiltrate or bypass them without detection.
3. Asset Identification: PHYSINT can be employed to identify and track specific physical assets of interest. This may include monitoring the movements of individuals, tracking the transportation of sensitive materials, or understanding the physical infrastructure of targeted facilities.
4. Physical Security Analysis: Espionage operatives may use PHYSINT to analyze and exploit weaknesses in physical security measures. This could involve assessing the effectiveness of barriers, surveillance cameras, access control systems, and other physical defenses.
5. Covert Communication: Physical intelligence can be used in the development of covert communication methods. Understanding the physical environment helps operatives establish secure communication channels while avoiding detection.

It's important to note that these connections are based on the general principles of espionage and security. The specifics may vary depending on the context, mission objectives, and the nature of the intelligence being sought.
