Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is finished, and if you believe industry gossip, series creator Hideo Kojima is soon to be a free agent. This photograph of the legend posing with PlayStation 4 architect Mark Cerny was certain to draw attention, then. The picture was posted on Twitter earlier today, though the meeting does seem pretty informal.
But what does it all mean? Well, in truth, nothing. Despite his strong ties to PlayStation, Cerny's not actually a Sony employee – he designed the PS4 under contract. There is obviously speculation about what Kojima will do next, though, and we've no doubt that he could find a home under the Japanese giant's Worldwide Studios umbrella. The question is: would the platform holder want to spend $50 million or so on a title that may not emerge for five or six years?

Sony have bought the rights to Crash Bandicoot, and have contracted Kojima to create a thought-provoking, postmodern retelling about the futility of apples in crates.
This is a thing I want to happen.
@Kage_88 comments like this are why Push Square needs a like button
I hope that Sony opens up a new Studio within Japan Studios just for Kojima and Mark.
Cheers!!!
What people don't know is that it was Del Toro who took the picture.. Boom!
Shenmue 3 confirm-oh wait...
Seriously - please let this be something to do with the Silent Hills project!
Sony's trying to get first dibs on whatever Kojima's cooking eh?
If these guys didn't make video games this article could lead to something completely different. Kya~ <3 jk Whatever's going on I hope it will be something we can shove up Konami's bum. Pun intended. MGSV can't be his last game.
OMG there bringing Zone of the Enders back
Knack 2

Top Kojima game not enjoyed by many as it was on Saturn.
I would actually play Knack 2 if Kojima were involved. Hell, I would buy "Action 53: A Hideo Kojima Game" in a heartbeat.
Considering Kojima likes Sony's consoles, imo I think he will create exclusive games for PS4 or Sony consoles in general. Nothing against Microsoft (and I do own an Xbox One as well as PS4) but if it were up to Kojima he would not even have made or ported a single Metal Gear game to Xbox.
@Kage_88 don't get my hopes up...
Sony funded silent hills, the hype behind PT was real. Can't let that kinda monetary chance slide.
Sony needs to lock him up and then after that it immediately needs to go to Konami with an offer it can't refuse for the Metal Gear franchise.
SONY, JUST DO IT!
Silent Hills. Renamed whatever they hell they want, 'Super Scary Sony Adventure' for all I care. Just pleeeeease make it happen T_T
Knack?...Knack?...Knaaaaaack!?
I've seen that expression before... Something wicked this way comes
@Churchy
I can see it now.. Silent Hill's bandaged nurses playfully splashing each other in the rain & giggling like japanese schoolgirls.

Maybe Kojima and Cerny are going to partner up and create their own studio
They are just meeting. End of story.
