Independent can also mean a lot of things. Bungie was described as mostly independent even after Sony has bought them…. It could also mean creative independence or something like this.

This is from Sonys page announcing the Bungie deal:

Bungie will continue to operate independently, maintaining the ability to self-publish and reach players wherever they choose to play.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Independent doesn't mean "a lot of things" in the context of talking about a game/movie/TV/music/whatever studio/label/etc.

It means you own yourself.

Kojima probably corrected it because he actually gives a shit, and it's about the business he owns and started from the ground up lol

Is it possible he's being coy? Sure, anything is possible.. but it seems like just a basic denial.

Conflating that with Abandoned and how he hasn't "denied" this dumb conspiracy theory lol

I love you guys.

Check the Sony website and a lot of media outlets reporting about the purchase of Bungie. They are still called independent, although they are 100% owned by Sony…

“Bungie will continue to operate independently, maintaining the ability to self-publish and reach players wherever they choose to play.”

1) deal hasn't completed yet
2) operate independently is a different thing.

So kojima debonked this, why hasnt he debonked the blue box conspiracy?

I like to think he saw they tried to generate hype indirectly using him so he’s purposely helping their kamikaze mission

 

[ParaSeoul]

Remember Bluepoint also denied it when that got leaked

 

[DarthPutin]

Haven't they just updated description (to what was true at the time) rather than make public statement? Kind of different things.

 

[Kdad]

kinda weird to see #faketeamreal say this

#faketeamreal is just #teamreal with sympathy for #teamfake

 

[Kdad]

he did say they will "continue to be independent" though. which points to no acquisiton being in the works at all. imo he will join PS studio's but not yet. maybe after another game together.

Continue doesn't mean forever...
"I'll continue to raw dog your wife" doesn't mean I won't move on at some point.

Yeah I agree. That's what I said. That he will eventually join ps studios.

Come on, Hasan, drop some footage so we can all laugh. With inflation out of control, we all need a good chuckle.

I know! That’s what I’m saying! It’ll be hilarious!

Takes a while to build a new CGI video of Hasan.

Which one of Team Real did this?

Which one of Team Real did this?

I'm anticipating some horrible turn of events in the near future - it's all part of Kojima's ARG (please stop harrazing devs).

 

[Badlucktroll]

The Bloober Silent Hill is going to have Masahiro Ito designs, and a Yamaoka soundtrack i bet.

 

[Signal Rockets]

I heard about this too.

Bloober Team admitted they are admirers of the series. They work with Konami now. It seems kind of obvious that they'd be thrilled at the thought of bringing back the dormant franchise. As would anybody in their position.

first of all, that guy looks more like Forest Whitaker [one of my favourite actors]

second, I wouldn't want SH rumours to be true if the confirmation is coming from Keighley!

P.S. he is just hyping up his own snoozefest of a show in advance

 

[FatallyYours]

Obviously they aren't real posters in any way. Someone's put through old graphics, photoshops, posters, whatever through the wombo dream website to create these. It can be done in seconds, Geoff is either just reposting "cool" looking art, or is stupid enough to fall for AI generated art as a new leak for silent hill

 

[Corndog]

Kojima says he will remain independent. He never said for how long. He could be independent until his studio is purchased next week. It's the same logic as 'We're all immortal until we die'.

This makes no sense.

The someone is him.

 

[Kdad]

That program is unreal!

I imagined "Geoff Keighley's turds"

Spoiler: Unreal!

 

[FatallyYours]

The someone is him.

Cool, glad that team real aren't posting tweets waaaay out of context then to try and draw some sort of coincidence between Geoff and silent hill/hasan/kojima/mgs/abandoned/[insert this week's thing]

Hideo Kojima Seems to Be Teasing an Announcement of Some Kind

The often cryptic Hideo Kojima has posted a series of images on social media, potentially teasing an announcement of a new project.

gamerant.com

As with many of Kojima’s online endeavors, these images have been met with fans speculating about the intent with which Kojima posted them. Some believe that the “6:1” could hint at a possible date, June 1, which is right around the time when the gaming industry kicks off its marketing season. Perhaps Kojima has something to show at one of this year's showcases. Others believe that the clocks could hint at a theme in Kojima’s next game. This is a well-educated guess when considering that many pre-release teases for Death Stranding utilized elements featured in the full game. Perhaps Kojima simply found these images aesthetically pleasing; for now, it is all speculation.

This makes no sense.

1st May - Kojima is independent and says "I will remain independent"
3rd May - Kojima no longer independent and says "I remained independent, now I'm not"

Frankly I needed the break. Keeping up with the tense atmosphere and twist and turns Hasan has us going through is a bit exhausting. Good to have a pause so we can regroup, refresh and plunge back into the rabbit hole for a little while more.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Welcome back.

Kojima is such a troll. There is no way he is posting this without knowing what people will think.

What will people think? Team real needs the intel asap

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Man, thank goodness the King of Twitter is back. I didn’t realise it was a ban. I really wanted to know what Rahul Kohli was doing, and now I know he’s watching The Godfather trilogy, I can rest easy.
What about Hasan tho? Is he tweeting?
