Kojima’s conversation with Mark Cerny for Develop Brighton will be streamed live
Hideo Kojima is currently in Brighton, United Kingdom, where he will be having a public conversation with Mark Cerny titled ‘Legend on the Future’. This talk will be streamed live tomorrow, July 13th at 09:30 – 10:15 (GMT+1). You can check out the stream below, with a countdown leading up to the event.
Update: a recording of the stream is now available:
From the official Develop: Brighton website:
The session, entitled Legends on the Future: Hideo Kojima in conversation with Mark Cerny, starts at 9.30am tomorrow and will be livestreamed directly from the Hilton Brighton Metropole hotel.
What’s more, it will be streamed in 360 degrees so you’ll be able to enjoy the looks of wonder on attendees faces as Cerny and Kojima discuss the Metal Gear creator’s illustrious career and his future plans.
Kojima will later be named Development Legend during this year’s Develop Awards. Find out more at www.developawards.com.
The acclaimed developer recently debuted his new project, Death Stranding. Little is known about the title other than that it will star The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus and will be exclusive to PlayStation 4.
As usual Kojima has been sharing pictures of his trip, and he took the opportunity to visit the Seven Sisters Cliffs.

I’m sure that this is not a Hideotube episode. That’s for sure. There is something more going on.
Develop Online also said they will conclude with ‘a glimpse of things to come’, and they also specifically mention Death Stranding in the description above.
We will see something. My guess is that he will show us a concept and a game engine at the same time.
My bet is that he finally decided on a game engine for sure.
Death Stranding teaser, Director’s cut ?? Or more ?? 😀
Merde
Il y a de la salive sur mon téléphone
Off-topic: That poll is so good, I got stuck on either MGS4, or TPP.
TPP is my absolute favorite opening :).
Its reeeeeally hard only choose one, but in my opinion, MGS2 is a bit better than the others, only
Metal Gear 3
*solid

OFF TOPIC:
after a lot of resisting and ignoring the hype. I installed Pokemon GO on my phone. I feel defeated. I wasn’t going to jump on the bandwagon but here I am.
Gotta catch ’em all!
You really did that !?? xD You’ll sneak in Pokemon’s… Mmmh don’t get spotted !
The mission is OSP (On Site Procurement ) I’ll have to obtain all the Pokemon on the field.
Right, I saw it in the news, they said the Nintendo stocks raised a lot ((o_O) 20% the same day) thanks to their new title !
Shuhei Yoshida (president of Worldwide Studios, Sony Interactive Entertainment) also tweeted about it:
https://twitter.com/yosp/status/752937441795907585
btw,
http://www.metalgearinformer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Hideo-Kojima-Develop-Brighton-Timetable-July-2016.jpg
Hideo Kojima, Hideo Kojima Productions… Really?
Come on guys at *develop. That is so unprofessional.
Other then that, Shu just confirmed that something is coming and it will be amazing.
Rather cheesy indeed… 😀 Must be a typo ! :DD A slight one though, but I am sure every single attendee will notice it, xD
That’s retarded
I mean there are other persons too
Well, it was named after Kojima, and Hideo Kojima is his full name, so you could argue Kojima Productions = Hideo Kojima Productions.
It’s not like they wrote that he still works for Konami.
Is Kojima hinting the Unreal Engine? Nahhhh, no way that trailer was Unreal Engine, holy crap.
You’re underestimating the power of the darkside my friend
Good question, I wondered too for a sec, but Unreal always keep sponsoring a lot of events here and there. Don’t worry, even if UE4 was chosen, that’s Hideo and Koji-Pro that will validate or initiate some requested tweaks to make it run well / the way we want. Good studios can virtually use any engine, they are always massively customizing them while working on a title.
If some UE based title are not very good, it is often due to the lack of financial assets of some studios, condemning them to use less people to properely customize the engine. I am not a UE guy neither but stay sure you can do awesome games with such engine ! ;D
Which engine do you thinking they are you using? My options are: Unreal4, Unity or something proprietary Sony Engine.
Very mysterious for now JJ. Perhaps DICE’s.. I am not really worry for the one they’ll choose. Sony’s proprietary PS-SDK engine is very stable and powerful but a bit native.. They will need people heavily specialized with it. Since it is under NDA, the community using it is far smaller than Unreal’s, CryEngine’s or Unity’s for instance.
Again I am not worry because older / mature AAA studios like Koji-Pro work slightly differently than indies.
For example, say you want to achieve / mimic TPP’s gameplay (little sequence with even rough ennemy AI for now) with Unreal.
What they do after obtaining a first running example is to profile the code to identify possible lags, perf hits, isolate calls to expensive functions causing problems and finally issue fixes, or even often a litteral hack to make it run fast. Sometimes those hacks are even dedicated to specific HW.
Back to our point, this way of working can apply to any engine for a AAA studio.
My point is that we are sometimes associating too much TPP’s gameplay awesomeness to FoxEngine, whereas it is in fact the tons of Hideo and KojiPro testing / QA, that made it awesome. ;D
The engine is crucial for making sure they’ll have of course the less efforts to provide, but even in the worst case scenario, they will do just fine because they know their job.
Exactly – it wasn’t just the FoxEngine that made MGSV as good as it was, it was the people behind it.
This livestream should be interesting, I hope he shows another trailer, that would be amazing. Probably won’t though, maybe some test footage or tech demo. But I can hope 😛
Just arrived at “work” xD Was in the train.. The stage is empty.. did I miss something or it did not started yet ?? (THX)
Not started yet.
Thank you again Nyxus ! Guess what, I did not watch Tube yet.. Just the logo before leaving home, and closed the pc right away. This stream is preventing me of watching it for now xD… Getting NUTS here xD
For sure, especially Unreal 4.
UE3 was a great beast too but wiping the *.uc layer for full C++ makes things a lot simpler indeed in UE4 ! ;D
I don’t have a Gear VR but does that “360 degrees” mean you can watch it in VR?
Can’t wait for my PSVR for things like this.
If you check the stream in Google Chrome you can ‘look around’ using your mouse.
Mates ! NEW TUBE’s OUT : :DD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmuL-DOvCiU
Saw it. Liked this episode very much. It really laid out the timeline for all those twitter pictures. I don’t know who did the subtitles but they lack huehuehue. I was so hyped for that lol
P.S. The live stream is going to start in about an hour. That’s 3:00a.m. where I live. I shouldn’t but I’m going to stay up.
That LOGO sound at the beginning. Sci-fi horror vibe. It is so GOOD. Mhmmm…
This beautiful peace of animated logo gives a real sense to our hype !
Like the seal of the highest hype quality. 😀
Is that a modified voice or a synthesizer?
Sci-fi horror… *Disgustingly salivates*
I think I need to change my pants now loool
That random sax playing in the background reminds of a song in the snatcher OST
I think it’s nights in Kobe
Livestream’s starting my dudes
You can already look around if you use Chrome.
Work on mobile as well.
Yep
That 360 view is a disappointment. You can’t see much really.
So if Kojima will present us a trailer or something, we would not be able to see much.
Thanks guys, but I don’t want to watch the audience. I want to watch the conference and Hideo Kojima…
They may change to a locked screen capture if footage is shown, like in E3 and stuff – I hope. Cus that would be suck we had to watch a squinted version of the footage.
Where tf are you Cerny I’m waiting with my crappy phone and crappy 360 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3752e2227c98c7cb76bb0d0f8e064b26d75edf137bd8dbe291e8b76620126821.png
You can see Mark Cerny, Kojima, Ken Mendoza, Ayako and another person (maybe Ken Imaizumi) sitting on the first row.
Now I see him
Wow, what’s up with the sound?
I know.
When it started I was like “NOOOOOOooooo…”
Nice of them to implement 360, but not fix the sound. XD
That’s this 360 view shit they are doing is the reason why this is happening.
So we can look around 360 degrees but we can’t hear anything of what’s being said…
Did they want to simulate what it’s like to be deaf but on stage with Kojima?
NOOOO this is horrible. Is there any other way to stream it. The 360 degree view camera is garbage.
WTF can’t hear anything !? 🙁
Yeah they need to fix the audio right away. :/
Yeah a-s-a-p… I think they may at least sample it correctly. But we are doomed for live !? (T__T)
They stopped streaming. lol
Maybe they figured it out / are doing something… AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH
Nope, nothing has changed.
They f.ckd it up. Hopefully they’ll sum up something cool afterwards with the rushes.. :/
I had to connect a bloody sound bar into my phone to hear shit. And even then the audio is so muddy.
They fucked up big time. I was about to riot I stayed up for this it’s 3:30 am where I live
Poor Dude / Sorry for you mate. 10:43am here
The hype was the only thing keeping me awake. Now I don’t know any more
9:45am here. You could go back to bed then catch up after you wake up, I’m sure Nyx would have a write up and summary by then.
I don’t know if anyone will have a proper summary of this if they only recorded it with the 360 camera
True.
I hope the stage’s mics are sampled, otherwise we are all doomed…
They must be – that would be like press conference rookie mistake #3 or something, defo top 5.
Sound Guy: I’m no rookie. I’m a 10 year vet.
Everyone: You left the Mute button on. Rookie
They are also recording with another camera it seems, you can see the footage on the screen behind the stage.
That’s quite re-insuring ! 😀
Oh my gooooood.
What is going on with the stream!?
and he stopped streaming, because the quality was so bad. Was SO bad.
Folks, never use this 360 stuff. It’s not really good for a press conference’s. The technology is still NEW. It is good for a room but not for this.
Seriously, they failed. Failed so hard.
At least Ken is aware.
https://twitter.com/Ken1555/status/753146832390230016
I think he’s the one who got up he was talking to Ayako and gesturing towards the camera
Ken can be aware about that, but you can’t fix this at all.
360 degree camera has a weak microphone for a ROOM or a small places but not for a theater.
for something like a theater you use 720p HD standard cam that has built-in quality mic.
🙁 fufufufufu
Can’t they use the 360 camera for video only and the microphones for the audio?
I think they are, as someone went on stage to adjust the mic on one of their shirts.
Yeah, Ken, Ayako and the official KP Twitter all said they are working on fixing it.
If they have separate quality mics for a Stream, then Yes, you can fix this. If they don’t have this hardware, nothing will change.
I mean, Seriously… 360 stuff for a conference… For a CONFERENCE.
I know, eh. The 360 stuff is good for vlogs and small room stuff. But nothing a press conference.
https://twitter.com/Ken1555/status/753147431609442305
Yeah they are likely getting the cam’s mics rather than the stage’s ones…
Ayako too.

First Brexit now this. I mean come on Brighton, it’s like England can’t stop fucking up. lol
xD Those mics were manufactured inside the EU, or what ??
Lol.
Ok, here is a hint what you should use next time UK.
http://news.doddleme.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Sony-pmw100lg2.jpg
They also seem to have regular camera footage, you can see it on the screen above the stage.
Yeah, the real question is why don’t they use that? Maybe it would be too much hassle to reconfigure mid stream.
Yeah, probably. Or they are too proud of their fancy 360 degrees view. 😛
xD They should have used PlayStation VR instead of this XBox 360 sh.t.. 😛 xD
They are streaming through Kinect XD. That explains everything.
they forgot to switch their A/V cables to HDMI
Lol. Probably still using an AV to SCART connector.
http://upload.ecvv.com/upload/Product/20115/China_SCART_To_3_RCA_Cable_AV_Cable_Audio_Video_Cable20115101145589.jpg
xD Hey ! Don’t make fun of old Grand-Pas’s gems !!
It would have perfectly worked with a SCART ! xD
xD
Hey, don’t generalise UK, this was England’s fuck up, we in Scotland had nothing to do with this 😛
This is the enemy! And it’s here on a stick!
[!]
Dear Brighton, never use this:
http://www.consumerreports.org/content/dam/cro/news_articles/Electronics/CR-Electronics-II-Gear-360-Camera-in-Hand-02-16.jpg
Solid Snake destroyed these things in Metal Gear Solid 4. Why use it again? WHY, BRIGHTON?
The thing even looks evil. Burn it with fire.
https://twitter.com/developconf/status/753152239297040384
YEESSSS !
Wouldn’t it be great, if the issue was that they just didn’t plug in the mics all the way? 😛
I hope they mean that the video they will have at lunch won’t be from their iOS devices or Android’s……
Guys….
I would honestly choose iPhone footage over the 360 cam.
At this point an old 480p LIVE STREAM from Nokia with 5mp would be already a blessing from a God.
According to YouTube this is 720p.
You can even switch to 1440p.
I may be able to just make out some of Kojima’s facial features at that resolution…
You can switch it even in 1440p. This 360 camera can showcase what it wants, but it’s lenses are so weak that 720p is not the case here.
The reality is much worse. Again, this is a camera for a room or something where you can experiment. The technology is still new and honestly it’s not great.
No dessert for you guys until the video is ready !
At lunch? The stream would be over by then 🙁
Yeah, they gave up on the stream it seems.
Fuck it. That does it. I’m going to bed. I don’t usually repost GIFS but this is a special occasion.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Well, good ni- morning? Enjoy your sleep.
https://twitter.com/leonHurley/status/753152593396895744
Lol, we have to rely on the attendees tweets to get information from the livestream.
Some more: https://twitter.com/developconf
A possible reference to Death Stranding, or future works?
https://twitter.com/developconf/status/753154148846166016
Future works I’m pretty sure.
Very handy they did that. I really hope Kojima shows something big.
So the thing has just ended, Kojima has left the stage, no new footage was shown. What a shame 🙁
Relax, it is not like E3, it is more like a scientific research meeting. It is more between devs, and the symbol of electing Boss as a dev Legend. Teasers and stuff are in general more for the direct audience / gamers. Here they are between working colleagues.
Apparently we will have the video in an hour or two… ;D
I was hoping they would show a tech demo or reveal what engine they were using.
“We’ll conclude with a glimpse of things to come”
In hindsight I took this quote far more literally than I should have.
Bah, would have been too soon for a tech demo even if they were still at Konami.
In such conference like GDC, they may show us some rocket-tech stuff after struggling a little while on their title, like for GDC 2013 FoxEngine presentation.
Yeah, it is still not clear what was behind this sentence especially with zero sound… :/
I still wanted to “hear” what engine they were using… 🙁 A little too soon it seems.
Yeah me too 🙁 They probably didn’t made their mind on this yet. I am sure they’ll share the info soon. Maybe some heavy marketing is also bound to this info. Perhaps they’ll say it @gamescom or @TGS… who knows. I hope Boss will be in Cologne in August to say something.. 😀
Guys, go see new Hideotube episode. Very good episode, subtitles, humor, food, game, movies, E3 talk and of course no 360 live feed. Just your regular good camera with a good microphone that actually works. Progress and technology.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmuL-DOvCiU
The video and sound quality is so good. I can actually see their faces.
https://twitter.com/developconf/status/753164906237689856
These guys…
Bang, huh? Maybe it would have if we could of seen and heard it.
Dolby Surround Master THX … ehm … 0.1 … xD
xD “PlayStation Pork” LMMFAO on this one…
http://www.develop-online.net/news/hideo-kojima-i-could-never-stop-making-games/0222252
Good stuff.
Mmmmh, so official accolade / prize this evening, in fact… Nice ! ;D
Is Nyx ok ?? He was not talkative these days and since we were a bit shaken here (live in Nice), I took the habit to ask if everyone is ok. Is he on holidays ?
I haven’t received any message from him about holiday. He might be on a short leave or just other things to do. I hope all is okey :).
You are a love, I hope all is fine. Sorry again for last night. <3 xxx (was f.ckd, deep).
I love you too bro ;). Np, there’s nothing to be sorry about.
Thank you again for all your cool words.
Have a nice day up there, take care bro.
Yeah sorry about that. Updates will be a bit slow this summer due to holidays.
Heyyy Nyxus!! Nothing to be sorry about at all. 😀 I was not worried about MGI update cadency, but since your absence was quite matching the sad events of last week here, I was just afraid you possibly had a relative leaving here injured or worse.
But it seems that all is fortunately ok (I hope).
I guess you saw the tons of awesome new contents!!
Tonight is gonna be hot, Boss’s talk is in a bit more than 10 hrs 😀
Could not find an exact path to the livestream but not worried at all since Youtube is organizing…
Perhaps someting will start to show up here :
http://www.eventbrite.com/o/youtube-11059031092
I may get banned for this butttt.
FU Brighton
This was a big “Fuck you” to us
I’m gonna go back listening to Akira Yamaoka
Pretty sure it wasn’t intentional. It was a mistake made through ignorance – calm down.
Sure but 360 livestreams have never worked
They did at coachella for weekend 2 for artists like GnR instead of normal livestream in W1 for nearly all artists
They received some backlash
Those weren’t common events that they could of known of easily. With that being said, if you were going to use an experimental piece of technology for something it commonly isn’t used for, they should of done research and found out about those instances you mentioned and decided not to do it.
I think it was just a hilariously stupid fuck up, unlike how Konami continually finds ways to give us fans the huge middle finger.
Yep
Again, Hideo won as well the wine challenge against Mark xD
http://www.metalgearinformer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Hideo-Kojima-and-Mark-Cerny-Develop-Brighton-July-2016.jpg
LOL at all the comments here about the audio problems on the stream ….
Anyhow, I think some of you were expecting some big announcements about Death Stranding which was the wrong thing to expect ….
This public convention was MAINLY about Kojima / Mark Cerny talking and giving their personal insights about the gaming industry. Similar to the Kojima/Del Toro public conversation hosted by Geoff Keighley. Sorry but I have no idea how people thought this event would be about mainly Death Stranding ….
In the description of the event it mentioned something like “at the conclusion of the event we’ll show a glimpse of things to come”. I personally took the quote at face value in its most literal sense; expecting them to actually show something at the end of the show. Also Ayato tweeted Kojima “checking something footage”, maybe it had to do with HideoTube?
EDIT: Found the quote in the event description thing –
Yeah. I saw that. Footage I’m sure has nothing to do with Hideotube.
Maybe that footage that he checked was not actually ready.
Maybe there was something, but not anymore.
Maybe that would be for the better. Instead of showing something that could end up getting cut or significantly changed from the final release, and then everyone gets mad; it’s probably best to just not show it at all.
Actually I think he was double checking Hideotube episode 4. Making sure the video is all good to go and doesn’t suffer any issues. Several hours later after the tweet, Hideotube Episode 4 was uploaded on youtube.
The footage that Kojima was looking at, was mostly checking up on Hideotube episode 4. Making sure the video is all ready to be uploaded. Because a few hours after that tweet, the episode was uploaded on youtube. As for the quote, eh I thought it meant Kojima/Mark talking about the future of gaming …
Sorry if my first comment seem offensive to anyone. I’m excited for Death Stranding as well. But lets not get ahead of ourselves … yet.
I personally didn’t get offended, everything you said is correct and 100% logical, I just let my confirmation bias get in the way. I’m still really tempted to put on my tinfoil hat and fully question why Kojima checking the footage statement was left so vague. We all knew the HideoTube was coming today days ago; why didn’t he specify that he was working on HideoTube footage?
In reality though; I’m pretty sure he (well, Ayako) didn’t specify it was for HideoTube as I think they just assumed there was no reason for anyone to think otherwise – they are still deciding on what game engine to use, and have only just started full swing development. It’s a little too early to expect some footage: I was still only hoping for like a 10-20s of development reel footage, as well as confirmation on what engine they were using, but hey; no harm no foul.
It was Ayako who tweeted it. You are right though, that she could of been more clearer like “Kojima checking Hideotube footage”.
Kojima is a perfectionist, he probably likes to double check that everything is in order so the episode didn’t suffer any issues when it gets uploaded.
Looks like they are just about to start full production, hence any new footage of death stranding would be very unlikely
I never expected shit about DS
But I thought they might hint the engine
But no!
Instead they f u p the vid.
Stop generalising plz
“Stop generalising”
Uh no, i said “some people”. I never said “everyone” …
It was a mess with the audio situation. But it was funny reading the comments of people making fun of the whole situation. Maybe you didn’t get my intention?
I don’t know
Anger fucks up my brain
First of all, no one really expected here to see a 20 minute trailer. Everyone knew that this event was about a huge interview with Mark Cerny and Hideo Kojima.
but we are talking about a simple thing like a Stream which Nordic Games 2016 did a much better job.
We Metal Gear/Kojima fans are still interested in Kojima’s development methods and you fuck up on a simple things in an environment that is about the latest technology. The irony is right here.
I never even picked up on the irony of the whole situation. That makes the event even more hilarious.
xD Neither did I !? :DD
I said “some”. I never said ‘everyone’ … I never said 20 minute trailer either …
You seem a bit hostile. Relax, I wasn’t attacking anyone or being excessively aggressive.
I’m aware that the stream was horrible from reading the comments. I didn’t watch it because I was at work. I was laughing at all the memes/gifs making fun of the situation. Wow people thought I was being a dick … well sorry but that was not my intention at all.
All I’m saying is that Kojima/Mark are having a laid back conversation about gaming/technology (which is great). From some of the previous comments, a few people were expecting a tech demo/ some sort of short in-game footage. When Kojima wants to tell us what engine he is using, he will tell us.
Dat moment when you realise mgsv has a higher score than the witcher 3
By 1 point. Also they’re both pretty dank games.
Nothing is more dank than dank salts III
