Hot on the heels of revealing a number of discarded video game ideas and even an idea for a ‘Forgetting Game’ where the main character gradually forgets important information and abilities if you take too long a break from playing, Kojima has revealed he has left his staff a USB stick of game ideas for after he dies.
I seem to recall reading something around the time PT came out, where somebody said that Kojima is pretty difficult to work for, and runs his studio more like a director on a film set would. Apparently, he doesn’t take input or suggestions from anybody else outside of a few trusted writers on his team.
Granted, that was 10+ years ago when he was still at Konami, so maybe things are different now that he’s independent.
I’m glad when designers can recognize themselves as better than, say, people like you. Because he’s Hideo fucking Kojima and you’re [email protected].
No offense, but we really should be willing to see things for what they are. I, personally, think most designers are shit and most games are trash because of it.
If the man who has earned the title of “first auteur of video games” comes off as pretentious to [email protected], I’d say he’s doing something right and you’re doing something wrong.
I know people love this guy but it’s just so pretentious.
Yeah, he’s crossing into a bit of Hideki Kamiya territory with actions like that.
i wonder if Kojima is also hated by his (current and) former employees like Kamiya (self admitted in interview in Unseen games YouTube channel)

I honestly think that’s a good thing.
