maybe this is the game he is working on for microsoft

I don't think he'd just tweet it like that if it was still happening

 

[Shubh_C63]

I am interested how it would had worked with gameplay.

we still haven't seen how exactly Suicide Squad will make fighting Justice League other than throwing 1000 bullets and a boomerang work.

 

[95mellow]

Damn - I never thought Kojima would be open to working on a film like that. A shame we won't see it.

 

[kiphalfton]

Can somebody transcribe these tweets as I can't follow what order they're supposed to be in, and if Kojima was the one saying he was making an action FILM or it was somebody else.

 

[SuperColourful]

"Black jokes" lol

 

[Topher]

"Black jokes" lol

Maybe he means dark humor?

 

[Miles708]

Superheroes?
Again?


....


Really?

It's unclear. "Drama", maybe it was for that tv dept of his

 

[Brofist]

Well wouldn't be the first time he's been inspired for sure

 

[Little Mac]

Kojima shouldn't be allowed to write his own name.

[OOGABOOGA]

I wish he would continue working on it. Anything Kojima touches turns out to be a masterpiece. We would probably see one of the best superhero films ever.

[Teslerum]

I mean Kojima has taken heavy inspiration in every single game he's made so far. Even Death Stranding, as much as people call it weird, has tons of concepts in it that aren't exactly new.

Fail to see how that would have been an issue.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Ok kojima. Show us something quick.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

 

[RyRy93]

Kojima not happy unless he's making the weirdest shit in the AAA space

 

[Warnen]

scrape it and make a food delivery game instead...

 

[Lognor]

Cool story bro

Tell me you haven't seen the show without actually saying it, what games are there where you're just a normal dude trying to kill superheroes?

Superheroes are the new zombies, which were the new bubedro bald marines.
Just move on already, how many dumb blokes in pajamas do the world still need.

A AAA game where you're a zombie killing the remnants of humanity or a member of an alien race ripping through dudebro marines would be fucking awesome. When people say "zombies" or "dudebro marines" you know damn fucking well this isn't what they're talking about, and to pretend that they're the same is fucking stupid

The comic is from 2006.

Did Kojima learned of its existance only thanks to the tv show?

The vast, vast majority of people who watch the show (let alone are aware of its existence) know that it's also a comic to this very day lol, I didn't know until like halfway through season two and I'm a huge fan and terminally online lol

To be fair, the show has made radical changes from the comic, it's not following the comic storylines aside from the broadest strokes like Homelander bad etc.

Aren't both of them about a special squad fighting superheroes?

The show and comic ? I mean yeah they follow the same establishing narrative hook but the character development and major plot beats in the show have taken a huge departure from how the same things happened in the comics.

"New" doesn't exist, it can only be new for the individual who never experienced something yet, but it's always a mix of things you already kow. That's the reason you can't imagine a color you never saw, a sound you never listened, etc... Even monsters, aliens and fantasy worlds in fiction are a mix of earthy things. Nothing "new".

Timing on other end can be highly influential on a business level. He's just bein late

 

[PhaseJump]

Kojima having reservations about creating derivative rip offs of contemporary sci-fi is cute. It's what his career was built on.

Someone should make a game based on the boys playing as Homelander would be pretty awesome and you wouldn't have the budgetary limits the show does, he could actually cause destruction.

It'd be like a superman game, and all the gameplay dilemmas that come with that.

The interesting thing about the show isn't that Homelander is powerful, it's the rampant abuse of power and PR driven dystopia that reflects the real world. The awfulness, the hypocrisy, the selfishness of just about everybody. If someone were to make The Boys into a game, I would hope it'd be one of those choice and consequence type of adventures, Supermassive Games or Quantic Dream style.

If someone made a game for the boys you wouldn't be playing for vought lmao, you'd be playing as hughie or butcher, or alongside them.... Playing as a supe doesn't really make sense in the context of a boys video game

About a comic that is technically a rip-off of DC/Marvel superheroes. While it's a neat concept and I enjoy it, Brightburn style as well... it's all too ironic, innit.
