Hideo Kojima talks about his ambitions with Physint, his next action-espionage game

It was at the last State of Play that we heard about Kojima Productions' new action-spy game. Tentatively named Physint, this title will be created in partnership with PlayStation and Sony Pictures.

In a recent video, Hideo Kojima gave further details on the project.

"We’re going to make a new action espionage game in cooperation with Sony. It will be both a game and a movie at the same time. That’s why we were at Sony Pictures. Of course, it will be a game. However, if your mother walks in and sees you playing this game, she’ll think you’re watching a movie. I’m not sure how far we can take it yet. [...] And since we’ll be working with many creators in the business, though the output is a game, it won’t be too different from movies."
