Collaboration with Guerrilla Games + hiring a lot more people + crunch time... probably. And the core concept being fully realized in Kojima's mind.

Overall development time is longer than it was for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, if they have the manpower and a good management it'll be fine.

I am aware of that. Still, it is out of the ordinary and Sony themselves stated they ve never seen a game put together so fast.

And AC Odyssey is far from being a great game.

Then why you're asking?

You know Sony is lying. They've literally published dozens of games developed in less time, from Final Fantasy VII to the Uncharted and Resistance games.

Also, opinions. It's an AAA game nevertheless. Most ACs, CoDs, Battlefields etc. out there are developed in two or three years or so. Or even less.

Yeah I have those concerns too.. 3 years is usually taken by sequels, considering they already have engine in place from the first game. 5 years is minimum for a New IP as initial years are spent on building engine for their specific task. So I will give benefit of doubt to KP as they were handed over a robust decima engine which they retooled for DS. Also its Kojima that guy wont release a game untill and unless his vision for the game is met.. he is the last guy to rush development to meet dead lines. 

True. And Sony is one of the least aggressive publishers when it comes to pushing deadlines. So let’s hope Kojima is just a wizard haha. 

Most likely this game is something Kojima has been wanting to make for years. Of course, Konami wouldn't let him, but I'm sure he's still been planning out exactly what he wanted the game to play like and what the story would be for those years.

2 minutes of silence for people who thought this game will take 5 years of development and will be released simultaneous for PS4 and PS5. Kojima made this game in 3 fricking years!!!

Now we know why Mark Cerny in that PS5 wired interview was silent when asked about Death Stranding release platfrom.

I thought it had to take at least 4 years. It taking only 3 actually worries me a bit. If this game is big like MGS5, then I will not understand how the hell Kojima made it this quickly. 

RE:  the trailer, I loved it! This got me hyped all over again. I’m relieved to see combat and guns in there. I think most of us were a bit concerned after their E3 2018 demo. 

The development of this game is 4 years long

2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. It started at the very beginning of 2016 and will release at the end of 2019. This is with an already built engine. So they did take a good amount of development time building this game

I still don't understand what this game even is.

Theres invisible demon/spirits from the underworld and a deathgod run amok on earth....I think?
So you fight "dead spirits" from the underworld (ei. those skeletion soldiers, are fallen soldiers from past wars), and sneak around to avoid the demons.

Also theres some sort of infection, from contact with the demons... and that baby is probably one of the few remaining humans that isnt infected or something.

The "completely new type of action game" has me intrigued.

But I wonder if this is a game where you to a large degree have to jump in with blind faith?
Because the way you "connect" with other players may be something you don't want getting spoiled before playing the game. So I don't know if I'll look into any details of the game outside of what Kojima provides us with in trailers.
But so far the trailers alone haven't made it clear to me how or why I'd enjoy this game. So yeah, maybe I'll just have to trust Kojima on this one.

The "Strands with other players around the world" part has me worried. I hope this game's possible online/multiplayer aspect doesn't take away from the single player experience.

I hope this is a Demon's Souls situation where you see other players' actions recreated or visible in your gameplay, somehow, and not some heavy online multiplaying stuff that I may find distracting.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

... you'd have pre-ordered your own pickled fetus by now?

Am I the only one that ordered that creepy little thing?

For the price of that package, it's quite possible you are the only one here to order it thus far. Also, I'm pretty sure that's a baby, not a fetus.
