The Game Awards gaffer and ex-journalist Geoff Keighley hooked up with his mate Hideo Kojima at The DICE Awards last night, prompting a spate of hyperbolic tweets. Speaking of the developer's upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, the Canadian said: "Blown away by the scale and ambition of what Hideo is planning. He knows no limits. We had such a great talk last night. You R not red E." The latter part is, of course, in reference to the famous PlayStation marketing slogan.
But Keighley had more social media superlatives to share: "The crucibles in our lives can make us weaker or stronger – and Hideo is determined to come back with his most ambitious project ever. I can already see his brain working faster than it ever has. He is hungry to surprise us and emboldened by the freedom. People like Hideo inspire me to think about where this industry can go. He is not thinking small. He will push this medium forward."
Wow! Those are some strong words – even for the industry's greatest hype master. We must admit, though, we are very excited to see what Kojima makes, and we're secretly hoping that he'll be able to tease us at PlayStation Experience before the end of the year. All we know so far is that the game will be a "big-scale" blockbuster, and will not support PlayStation VR. At this point in time, however, no one even knows where the new Kojima Productions' office is!

@Swiket I'm sure Sony discussed a timeline with him when they agreed to publish it.
I look forward to seeing his next movie
Talk is cheap, but I'm sure it'll be good!
Man deserves all the accolades he receives. Give him time and let him create a masterpiece.
"his mate Hideo Kojima"
That is all I need to know.
Eta late 2019 to early 2020, most likely ps5 launch title. Heck in 2019 we should be seeing ps5 launch anyways. He's just a perfectionist which is fine so I highly doubt it will be out during the prime ps4 years, most likely I imagine a "ps4 compatible, optomized for ps5" game assuming sony sticks with pc like architecture and backwards/forwards compatibility becomes the norm.
Didn't need this article to tell me this lol. But thanks for reconfirming.
Apparently the cut scenes are going to be something to behold and longer than we've ever seen before.
@john_c lolololololol
I never believe anything Keighley says, especially when it sounds so brown-nosey. It's so videogamey that we are not ready!
@john_c has the right idea
Hideo Kojima presents Selfie Simulator 0.1. A Hideo Kojima game. All profits go to the Kojima foundation.
If what Kojima said about his last project was true, then his word no longer lives up to the hype.
This article should have a "Jeff keighly warning" attatched...XD
