Hideo Kojima posed for photos outside Sony City this week, about a month after PlayStation's shock move to cancel his hotly anticipated spy action game Physint.

In one of the strangest and most dramatic events in the history of the game industry, Xbox stepped in to save this game, which is considered the spiritual successor of Metal Gear Solid; The event that brought the anger and dissatisfaction of fans towards Sony's recent decisions.

Later reports revealed that Sony was not satisfied with the terms of the contract; Because according to this agreement, the company had to pay all the costs of creating an IP that it would never own.

There were earlier speculations that Kojima was asking for as much as $400 million to make the game, although reporters claim that Microsoft is paying much less to finance the project; So it is not clear where exactly that astronomical figure originated.

It's not entirely clear what the main reason for Kojima's visit to Sony's headquarters this week was, but he told IGN that he loves the company and that despite their decision to stop the Physint project, there is no ill will between him and the company.

The interesting and somewhat strange thing here is that the headquarters of Kojima Productions studio in Tokyo is very close to Sony's headquarters; So maybe he just stopped by for a cup of coffee and a croissant!

Either way, it's encouraging to know that no bridge has been destroyed behind them. Although Physint will no longer be a PlayStation product, it can be said that any Sony product will gain more value and credibility with Kojima's support and attention.
