Hideo Kojima is one of the most influential video game directors of all-time. He wrote every single MGS game to date. What makes him even further stand out is the immersive storytelling and major plot twists made him even better. No other gaming series can even compare. In all of his level designs he added so much attention to detail to literally everything. Every single MGS character you encounter had depth and personality. And it's all thanks to Hideo Kojima and his team to ever bring something so unique to the table. And without him, video gaming would never be the same.
You cannot top a better video game director like Hideo Kojima. You literally can't. He won a ton of awards and made some impactful things to the industry.
Hideo Kojima and his team worked their asses off. They deserve to be one of the greats in the vidya industry

I think more credit should go to the developers who gave his ideas life. People seem to think he singlehandedly makes these games.
Caleb Cooper
How is it tinfoil you moron? I asked you some questions to get you thinking but apparently you're braindead. He got Kiefer Southerland into his video game, the kikery behind Kojima is astounding. You probably just don't know what Hollywood, Jews, and Sony really operate.
Julian Lewis
sounds like he's a cool dude then
Colton Allen
he made up some of it
Austin Cruz
Based Kojimbo saving vidya industry
John Collins
When will Silent Hills come out? I don't care about his baby carrying walking simulator. :3
Easton Howard
you ready? i'm gonna say it i'm gonna do it here it comes you ready? are you fucking READY?
Because Kojima is a revolutionary video game artist. Kojima thinks ahead of what his projects really are and sacrifices everything on the line to make the best game that he could possibly make. This is why he's one of the greatest directors of all time.
>he was too much of a diva
Who the fuck uses this word in 2019? Grandpa?
Mason Edwards
Isn’t that the motherfucker who chose to release TF2 when it did? Completely killing the franchise in the process so badly that it required a fortnite reboot to even get 3 back on the table?
Or did I mix up devs again?
Landon Allen
>thinks ahead >MGSV started development in 2010 and wasn't even remotely close to being complete in 2015 >after over $80mil in budget
Not to mention, it's repeating itself with Death Stranding.
>starts development in 2015 >still no gameplay or release date four years later .>actually made two trailers with celebrities in them before they had a fucking engine
Jason Morris
Yeah look at Konami now... look at them go. Seriously what the fuck is Konami even doing right now?
John Parker
>Made generic FPS games Nigger, he made the standard for the games even Kojima had copied. Not to mention his games influenced entire generations and game culture. Modern Warfare 2 alone in 4 years sold half of what entire Metal Gear series did in 30 years. EA was the publisher.
>famous video game maker manage to get celebrities onboard for his projects >but surely, he couldn't have done so without da joo
Zachary Parker
first off, lemme say that konami is apparently a shithole place to work at with some hugely incompetent and petty (to the point of like downright evil) executives. I take to pleasure in defending konami. But konami is a business trying to manufacture and then sell a product in order to turn a profit, and kojima was pissing away money, throwing away work that already was done and stretching development time into infinity. Secondly, I'm pretty sure you are supposed to be 18 to post on this website, son.
Michael Turner
Oh man it’s almost like they made an entire engine AND as much of MGSV as they did in that time.
Which I honestly give credit to compared to KH3 just dropping luminous for U4 to rush out some 2 year Disney approved dog turd
Carter Nelson
Makes more money than with Kojima.
Luis Reed
Fox Engine development started in 2008, while rest of team was working on PW.
Xavier Reed
Kojima doesn't make games he makes films THEN he makes games. Just to hide the hack
Konami didn't make that engine for MGSV, it was made for MGR which was cancelled. It was their "MT Framework", it's used in all of their games(though they stopped making games now apparently). It started being developed right after MGS4 came out in 2008.
Connor Thompson
Fox Engine started work in 2008, as soon as MGS4 was complete.
Logan Thomas
By focusing on mobile and pachinko/slot games and almost completely dropping their console dev?
I know you’re that kind of faggot who’s just gonna day “yeah but they make more money at the end of the day so I’m right” but they also completely went creatively bankrupt doing that. PES sure but that’s been a microtransaction fuck off for years now where it’s straight up mobile game philosophy in a console experience.
So sure they’re making more money.
Asher Foster
I'd say Miyazaki is better when it comes to pure gameplay but Kojima's crazy idea really make him outshine most in the long run.
Hunter Gonzalez
>Ghost babel >shit OK there buddy
Zachary Price
>pachinko/slot games Here's that meme again. Try looking at investor's materials instead of parroting Yong and rest of Kojimadrones. In fact pachinko is doing so badly, they had to merge it with something else in reports.
Aiden Morris
Hes one of the few game directors that acts like an actual director of shit He maintains a good image and knows how to hold onto the business relations hes got
Considering most directors need impecible people skills in order to do their jobs effecively and since most games are made by small office renting aspies with a degree and a twitter account, its no wonder he just runs with it
Jack Miller
So what's your fucking point? It doesn't matter if they're making or not making money, what matters is the fact they've been doing jackshit with their videogame IPs
Or maybe they just don't want to spend years worth of money for marketing like with Kojima and MGSV? Just look at Capcom, games released 6-9 months after being announced and still a success. One of main reasons behind TPP disappointment was because of years worth of hype only to end up with incomplete product. After all, even back when Kojima was at Konami working on MGSV they barely had anything to offer other than PES. Ironically, they actually revived Bomberman now. And now look at Death Stranding. Trailer shown before they even decided which engine to use, basically an excuse to travel around the world to meet up with celebrities and get called sweet words, while game is already behind the schedule.
Adam Brooks
This doesn't make sense, MGS has always had a clear line between gameplay cutscene. The gameplay is pure gameplay with no railroading shit and yes, the cutscenes are movies.
Robert Baker
every other game is better than mgs2, except portable ops
