Following Death Stranding, Kojima Productions announced two new titles with scarce details. Physint will return to the action/espionage formula of Metal Gear Solid; meanwhile, a short trailer for something called OD features the eerie digitally rendered faces of actors Sophia Lillis and Udo Kier, disembodied and mostly screaming. (Hunter Schafer is also supposed to star in the game.)

Kojima describes the game as "something totally different…people will love it or hate it."

Whenever OD comes out, he'll read all the tweets, watch the YouTube videos, scan all the reviews. But the reception won't matter to him then. Kojima is confident enough to know the legacy of his body of work will be defined much later. "The real evaluations come after—10 or 20 years from now," he says.

Can't wait

 

[Lambogenie]

This is how I am feeling about him more and more. And I used to love the guy!

 

[Elginer]

Please stop believing your own hype sir.

Lmao, I always say that.

Man, what happened to Kojimbo? He was legendary back when he was at Konami, now sounds like he smells his own farts from a champagne glass...

 

[Nocty]

the guy is the thom yorke of the videogame industry. Just insufferable really.

DS2 is a 6/10 at best and here we have god himself telling the pesants his work is ahead of it's time and were all too stupid to see it yet.

He was always like that.

"The real evaluations come after—10 or 20 years from now,""

Doubling down on being an unbearable prick I see.

 

[Durin]

Another bonus of games media crumbling will be less felatio-ing of Kojima.

 

[semiconscious]

'if my upcoming game isn't appreciated within the next 20 years, i'll... i'll... i'll make another game!'...

 

[March Climber]

Sounds like one of those 'underrated misunderstood classic' games that will be spotlighted by a youtuber years from now.

Spoiler

And I like those game spotlights

 

[ComputerBlue]

Kojima sends lewds of himself to himself.

Dammit, I was gonna add this exact gif

 

[rkofan87]

why do we hate him now I thought you all love death stranding 2?

 

[yogaflame]

OD? This is a cloud game from. It looks like a virtual character growth, or taking care of an AI. I'm more excited with Physint.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I loved you once...

 

[Punished Miku]

I'll give it an honest try

 

[adamsapple]

[March Climber]

Because he is cocky and self-indulgent.

But they don't realize that nearly all big name artists are like this.

That is why they are very based. That woke toxic masculinity agenda does not affect them.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

ok traitor

 

[SamFo]

Man does one xbox exclusive and Gaf turns on him just like that lmao

 

[realcool]

"I'm so fucking ahead of my time. Your opinions are worthless."

 

[Taur007]

Damnit, why does Xbox always get the experimental stuff?

He needs to just come out and say it's a live playable movie at this point

 

[March Climber]

I agree with the first sentence, but this has nothing to do with culture wars, wokeness, or toxic masculinity.

Most artists are simply cocky in general and partly because they have to be to sell their ideas to publishers and the public. Because people can usually tell when they don't believe in what they've created.

If you don't believe me listen to some Amy Hennig developer-walkthroughs or interviews. She was also cocky/confident about Uncharted because she knew she had a hit project on her hands.

Thats what I'm expecting. And that isn't a deal breaker for me automatically. I loved Immortality

[realcool]

"But doctor, there's a lump on my breast!"

"Could be something. Could be nothing. See Gladys at the front desk and set an appointment for 20 years from now to find out. Have a nice day."

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Kenneth Haight]

At least physint will be good. This sounds like he is just developing it on his lunch breaks

 

[Sub_Level]

He was already self-aggrandizing by the time he made Ground Zeroes, but people here jerked off that $40 demo like no tomorrow.

 

[EN250]

Has nothing to do with that, look at the shit he's saying "I'm too cool to do samey games you mere mortals, I'm gonna create something only I can do and no one would be able to appreciate the sheer geniusness of my work not until decades from now, I'm so ahead of time"

He said something like that about Death Borefest 2, about creating something different, unique or something, like if walking simulators weren't dime a dozen already...

 

[Peroroncino]

I hope he's pissing out pachinko balls in 2 years

 

[kevboard]

 

[Brigandier]

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

He said the same thing about DS, and i thought both games are a waste of talent and time. Hopefully this isn't yet another game with no meat on the bone.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

kojima san coming for everyone

 

[consoul]

People will either love it or hate it.

and if they hate it, it's just that they're 10-20 years too early.

 

[RickSanchez]

Was he not always like this since his Metal Gear Solid days ? I vaguely remember every mission in MGS5 having a credits roll with his name on it. If you happen to like his games, none of that should affect you. So why the sudden hate ? i dont get it.

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

it is going to be a piece of trash that only reviewers and people that like to feel more "enlightened" than those pesky gamers that actually like games to be fun will celebrate as the perfect game.

And when called out, they will say: "Kojima was once again proven right some lower IQ individuals didnt understand his MAGIC! his VISION!"

 

[Tajaz2426]

If this is the cat that hates oil while flying around everywhere, wearing glasses, drinking out of cups, etc., he is probably the first human that can fuck themselves and give that reach around to make it all better. Amazing.

 

[Tobimacoss]

Man does one xbox exclusive and Gaf turns on him just like that lmao

Won't be exclusive though, timed at best, so not sure why the hate.

 

[Clear]

He's 100% right though; audience and critical reception at time of release can reverse over time.

Its funny, I saw so many "classic" movies in empty theatres back in the 80's, Blade Runner, The Thing, etc. After they took a proper kicking by the critics too. So I really cannot disagree with the notion that greatness is an accolade best bestowed over time.

No, he wasn't, he got high on himself by that time tho, when Konami made him Vice President of some fancy occupation tailored for him there
