A HIDEO KOJIMA GAMEDEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACHComming 2025 for Playstation®5📍KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS Official Sitehttps://www.kojimaproductions.jp📍KOJIMA PR...
His stories are mostly over the top nonsense, but sometimes that’s fun. Also, for a “AAA” studio director, he’s willing to take some VERY big experimental swings when it comes to gameplay. Death Stranding has it’s problems, but it’s very unique. That’s worth some points.
He takes no more ‘experimental swings’ than hundreds of indie developers. The only difference is, his studio has the money for the marketing campaigns.
He’s a completely insane horny man that loves action movies. His games tend to be high quality and even when they aren’t good they are at least entertaining and try something new.
He may have gone full George Lucas at this point though where he’s so overhyped that no one second guesses him at all. Death Stranding had some weird shit even for Kojima. I wonder what he could make if his personality wasn’t so dominant in a game and it had some input from other creative visions to reign in his weirder ideas.
That’s true, Kojima was just supervising director on that game. But I feel the politics of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance are very typical for the series and Kojima’s games.
Metal Gear in general is very much about American Imperialism.
I know right? He was suddenly hyped up so much, I guess it’s one way to sell games. I’d understand if it was Miyamoto or something, but the man made Metal Gear and not everyone has even heard of that.
He was heavily pushed with geoff keighley’s the game awards partnership he made.
He was though, some people might have known his name from Metal Gear, but majority of people didnt. Then TGA and Death Stranding rolled around and suddenly we were told we should care.
The sudden surge in journalism coverage he’s gotten in the last 5+ years are because of his dramatic departure from Konami and the Metal Gear series which his name was practically synonymous with, and he struck out on his own and made his own game studio where he makes very good, high production value AAA games that are extremely unique and experimental in nature.
Like it’s perfectly understandable to not like Death Stranding because of how niche its appeal is, but the thing is the gaming industry has become such a homogenous mess of samey, formulaic, safe games. Kojima is so relevant right now because he’s now one of if not the biggest studios that’s just making games out of passion, and not just the biggest return on investment.
My normie friends who only play cod or FIFA even know what MGS is. Maybe the Fortnite generation may not remember but when mgs was new for us then teenagers it was a cool action game.
I’m going to get downvoted to hell but I don’t get the hype Kojima carries.

DS has an apparent lack of life serviceability despite being a triple a.

You seem to be agreeing and just repeating one of their points, but I get the impression you were trying to disagree?
Aha, yeah I realise my mistake now. I was tired so I will let myself off.

His games have good politics, that’s something 🤷♂️
Even if chuds completely misunderstand them (senator Armstrong etc…)
I don’t think he wrote Armstrong though.

Yeah, Rising’s writing was pretty much on point, they really understood what the series was about even though they were cranking it up to 11.
Which is why I love it 😆
Nanomachines, son!

He wasn’t suddenly hyped. He’s been making games for a very long time and has been known as the creative force behind all of them.
