Hideo Kojima was recently given the BAFTA Fellowship, a lifetime achievement award by the British Academy of Film and Television Art. In his interview with BAFTA, he spoke about Metal Gear, Death Standing, Silent Hills and more.
According to Kojima, the original Metal Gear was supposed to be something similar to the popular back then arcade game, Rambo. However, Kojima did not follow the direct intention of his company, Konami.
Instead, he thought of a war game that avoids combat. He drew inspiration from 007, one man, alone, infiltrating enemy territory. This way the player could avoid spontaneous fighting. From there, he added in the flavor of the present day, in order to create a slightly futuristic, yet still realistic setting.
Kojima came up with the new term ‘social strand system’ for Death Stranding. According to him, this term will not last long, just like the term ‘tactical espionage action’ has been replaced by the term ‘stealth. Which he thinks is more appropriate. He also anticipated that the ‘asynchronous connection elements’ of Death Stranding’s online elements will influence creators and marketing-led titles.
Lastly, Kojima said that P.T. ended as just an experiment, but he would like to make another horror game. A horror game that uses a revolutionary method to create terror. A horror game that doesn’t just make you pee your pants, but crap them. He already have ideas in mind.

Thanks BAFTA.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

“Hideo Kojima was recently given the BAFTA Fellowship, a lifetime achievement award by the British Academy of Film and Television Art. ”
A game developer is given an award for movie stuff in England.
The whole thing is a giant joke, videogames becoming mainstream was the biggest mistake ever, not that it matters since in the future everything will be a mmo with microtransactions and everything will be streaming.
Videogames and the internet.
They’ve become just as sterile and corporate driven as what made us search for those media alternatives.
Hideo Kojima created a 45 minute cut scene to tell this story to fans.
Hideo Kojima is pretty terrible. He lost his touch. His last good game was Metal Gear 4 in 2008.
Calling MGS4 a good game is such a borderline stretch of a joke that you have to be out of your mind to think that dreck is acceptable. His last good game was MGS3. MGS4, is a complete and total joke of game that has nothing good to offer beyond an over indulgence of fan service bull*hit that the game is.
MGS4 is one of the best games ever, one of less then 10 games that I replayed for second time in my 40 years, i never replay games unless its really good and only when 5 to 10 years passed between plays or its remaster/remake.
“He drew inspiration from 007, one man…”
The more things change the more they stay the same…

He’s more than you are, and will ever be. I’m glad that all of you racists are beginning to PARISH.
That would be perish.
Correct.
Thank you, sir.
Playstation fanboys love him bit everyone else say that he is a pretentious overrated asian
Yep that sums him up.

MGSV was the worst game in the franchise, complete and utter trash.
MGS cant be open world, the OW idiocy cut out the MGS soul from the game.
I dont replay games ever nor measure value of a game by how many hours i can milk it, My value is if I enjoyed it it or not.
If as game way too short like 4-5 hours i wont buy it full price, but if its 8 hours and longer im OK with it.
There are way too many unplayed games for me to milk a single game.
Just on steam I have 1118 games as of writing this post and I played maybe 10 out of all of them.
i really hope he makes something that is more fmv/game/novel story telling wise.
I wish he and his cult would just F..ck off and go make a movie as that’s clearly what he wants to do. Besides his games are garbage and the talent behind the good earlier games evidently wasn’t his.
Well is guess from reading the comments i’m wrong for being a fan ¯_(?)_/¯ Oh well.
