Hideo Kojima responds to accusations of Physint being over budget and late on deadline, says he still "loves Sony" despite collapse of publishing deal

Last week, we learned that Sony "stepped away" from Kojima Production's previously PlayStation-exclusive "action espionage" game Physint.

The short version

• Following the announcement, which saw Xbox take over publishing duties for the in-development title, a new report has claimed Sony's decision was the result of concerns over "budget, potential profitability and exclusivity".
• Now, IGN has conducted an interview with Kojima that sheds a little more light on the situation.
• "I don't remember so much of that meeting, to be honest with you," Kojima told IGN.

What happened

"And my colleagues probably don't remember as well, so I can't really answer if you ask me what exactly they said. And I don't have any bad feelings against them because I know that it's a tough time in the game industry.

Why it matters

"Nothing could've prepared me for their decision to step away from the project.
