Hideo Kojima says he has been acknowledged by creating games that go against the current of the times.

His full tweet:

It seems I have been acknowledged by creating games that go against the current of the times, such as "hide-and-seek" games where you sneak into a building without being detected by the enemy, or "delivery games" where you enjoy moving around in an open world, For me, the most experimental game was "defeating vampires outside your house" using actual sunlight around you. It was met with fierce opposition from the staff and even within the company. In that sense, "OD" is just as different.

That's cool. I hope It's actually engaging to play this time and not corny/badly written.

 

[Gojiira]

Gameplay then we’ll see but as it stands Death Stranding 2 is looking much…Much more compelling right now

 

[Bloobs]

Damn, Kojima would have blessed us with a new Castlevania and Silent Hill.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Smelling and loving his own farts again?

 

[VolticArchangel]

He's talking about one of the other obscure and niche IP's he created - Boktai.

Boktai was something new for it's time, though it hasn't had much, if not any, clones of it, like MGS and most importantly P.T. did.

Maybe in the past but nowadays Kojima loves following trends.

Fixed that for ya.

 

[Punished Miku]

I do like new and original. And I'm open to an anthology.

Just need to see something more than those fucking faces.

 

[adamsapple]

He just wants to get all of his favorite celebrities to work with him in his games.

Even Kojima's farts have contributed more to the gaming industry than anything you have.

Maybe in the past but nowadays Kojima loves following trends.

Not really.

How is Death Stranding "following trends"....?!? It's an entirely new, entirely unique genre of game. Some of you just seem to get a hard-on from hating on someone highly regarded in the industry.

 

[Švejk]

Yeah... Boktai sucked ass. When I go out outside, last thing I want to do is play video game, or look at any screen for that matter.

Oh boy. We got a Kojima Stan here.

For the record, you are false. I suggested to my uncle Phil that he buy Bethesda and Activision.

The amount of clueless replies saying "Hey you should make that vampire thing" is depressing.

Yeah, and I suppose your other uncle owns Nintendo too, right?

 

[FoxMcChief]

No. He just works there.

 

[Ribi]

I can already hear the fans saying it's a masterpiece and that we just don't understand

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

No. He just works there.

Does he get a family and friends discount, or is Nintendo that stingy?

 

[FoxMcChief]

Yes

 

[samoilaaa]

death stranding was so fucking boring , i hated the level design and game mechanics

 

[BennyBlanco]

Kojimbo’s endless congratulating of himself and desperately chasing approval from Hollywood celebrities is making me retroactively like his old games less

 

[Kenpachii]

bro making a fetch quest game is special? lol.

[semiconscious]

That's cool. I hope It's actually engaging to play this time and not corny/badly written.

the first is highly likely. the second, not so much...
