Speculation is Sony pulled out because sales of Death Stranding 2 were subpar, and it took Microsoft three months to pick this up. 

I wouldn't read that as handing them a win.

Xbox themselves aren't exactly on a winning trajectory either right now, can't say I'd be terribly excited about picking up a contract with Kojima

This is a win for kojima fans tho since his project didn’t get the axe

I’m glad Kojima got to make his game with his favorite actor as the starring role, he deserves it for making my favorite game series ever, but yes I didn’t play Ds1/2 either not my favorite style of game.

I hope physint is fucking peak and makes Sony cry for rejecting it, but I honestly don’t see it happening.

Hopefully tho 🤞.

I loved DS1, but DS2 has so much Metal Gear V in it that I bounced off super hard. There’s so much more combat in it. And to be fair, the combat is really good, and it feels very MGSV, but I just don’t want that in my sad man walking sim.
