Kojima finally explains what he means by "HIDEO KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS"

He created stealth games, too.

Will this be the game that finally puts Kojima's reputation in the dirt? Most of us know he's an autistic skitzo but the normies will finally see for themselves.

>retards on twitter don't understand this tweet
he's just saying he's supervising and involving himself in every aspect of the game and all these goblins are screeching about him not crediting his team
wonder if they sit through the credits of every game they play and remember every employee's name

No, because it will have everything Kojima fans like:

gamereactor.dk/artikler/768403/Vi taler med Hideo Kojima om Death Stranding/
Q:

You have stated several times that Death Stranding belongs to a new genre called "Social Strand System". During the show, you went into a little more detail, but how does it differ, for example, from a game like Dark Souls, where you leave messages to other players who can then jump into your dimension and help.

A: Kojima

"It might be a bit misunderstood then. I don't actually play that many other games. I'm simply too busy. But I don't want to create any new genre. Everyone says it's an" open world ", it's a" stealth game " ", and what's so different? There I allow myself to answer," no, that's not the case. "I don't think you need to define a genre that way. That's exactly why I allowed myself to create this temporary genre by the name "social strand" because it's more fair to the game than just answering the two questions above. "

How fluent is Miyazaki in English? I know he reads a lot of English books as a child, but how that work now?

Uematsu studied and majored in English in University. But he can't speak a lick of English.

GR: You have stated on several occasions that Death Stranding is a new genre called "social strand system". During the Sony event you went into some detail, but how does it differ from games like Dark Souls where you leave clues for other players and can jump into their dimension and help? Here you also start in a world where everything is unknown. You work in juxtaposition with other players even though it's your adventure.

Kojima: I actually don't play so many other games; I am too busy. I don't want to create a new genre. I want to create something different for a game. Everyone says it's an open world, it's a stealth game, what's different? I say no. That's not it. You don't have to define a genre. A lot of people just keeps asking me "is it a mission" or? That's why I just set a temporary name as social strand.

This guy could not be any more up his own ass. What a pretentious faggot.

>Read the entire thing
>It boils down towards the only reason why Kojima makes video games and not movies is because he loves the sheer ability to move around and interact with things as the avatar, otherwise he would 100% be in film and not in game development.
Given how MGS2 onward was just playable tech demo movies anyway, it says a lot about the man.

Sadly not. Sony wants it to be a big success so will pay off a lot of journalists and shills. Said journalists are all about story and "games are art". Then we have Kojimafags that think the man is a genius singing its praises. This game will have that feeling of being an event, something you have to be a part of now and normalfags will see the coverage and hype and want to join in.

The game will be a success and every pleb and sell out will proclaim it as one of the best games of the generation.

Still an absolute gibberish

Any other strandslike games?

even though I think it's pretentious, it's not really that hard of an answer to understand
basically boils down to: "I don't want to compare it to other games or genres"

Play the best one ever made: Bloodborne.

So is it a social stranding game or not? I have no fucking clue what's going on.

We all know it won't fail thanks to the Sony pr machine behind it. Nothing stops anyone from laughing at the pretentious asshat

Miyazaki is just the type of guy the video game industry as a whole needs more of. A guy that had nothing going for him, and I'll take a guess he was depressed at some point in his life, but eventually he made it by just liking the stuff he likes. He's the type of guy that stays the fuck out of the spotlight and just quietly works and gets shit done, and in an age where every gamedev has cunty twitter rants that is a breath of fresh air to just have a guy that works and doesn't need to jerk off in social media about his success.

I think he means in the picture he's quoting, brainiac.

Yeah! Working in my construction mech is so fun. It makes building easy. Let me dig up this-- Oh, shit! I hit a gas line!

They took inspiration from Media Molecule, a UK game company.

With an ego like that, I doubt anyone has the balls to question him. Kojima seems like he’d be hellish to work for.

Was there ANYONE that actually made something new and never seen before in this god forsaken industry in the last 10 years other than miyazaki? The invasion system was revolutionary and something we've never had in any game. The way he seemlessly integrated multiplayer into single player as well had never been done before.

What else was actually brand new? The battle royale games I guess? Minecraft?

>produce
>dealing
What the fuck are you even talking about you nip sperg

Undertale is a good example of something simple being new and refreshing. Mixing SHMUP and turn based combat was an incredibly novel idea, and the level at which your choices affect the game are more prominent than games that advertised choice like ME3.
Totally new? Maybe not, but unique enough to warrant merit.

Kojima's latest interviews these past years has really shown his true colors.

Splatoon comes to mind.
ARMS and Pokkem too. The entirety of the WiiU and the “asymmetrical gameplay” deal they try to go for. Hell, Nintendo innovates a fuckton, they’re just not pretentious about it.

Also, indie games do it all the time too. Take Lethal League for example.

God dude you fucking nerds won’t stop riding kojima dick get a life and grow up

You're going to laugh, but Friday the 13th and Dead by Daylight shit.

>invasion system was revolutionary and something we've never had in any game
Nah, that definitely existed before. You could sort of "invade" in L4D and other games before had similar gimmicks

Tarantula pretty much do all by himself too. Thats the diference between a random director and an auteur. Kojimbo and Tarantula could be hack directors, but they are auteurs too.

Those are all derivative. Splatoon is way too close to any generic FPS. Pokken is just a twist in Ninja Storm arena fighting

>Mixing SHMUP and turn based combat was an incredibly novel idea
It basically added a mini-game element to turn based attacks. Pretty sure FF6 did that way before. Not with SHMUP minigames but still, it had real time inputs alongside turn based attacks

Be real with me... how much dick mucus do you inhale

>Splatoon is way too close to any generic FPS
It really isn't. However de blob exists, so Splatoon isn't exactly super unique. It added de blob mechanics to TPS genre, the one unique aspect is the squid.

The UK is incredibly consumerist too, so this doesn't surprise me.
That said - was Media Molecule's office filled with their own merchandise, like LBP figurines, or was it just a hodgepodge of pop-culture icons like Kojima's?

That's pretty much left 4 dead vs mode though

Splatoon isn't an FPS. It's also not generic, and plays closer to an arena shooter than a typical console shooter.

Zero. I fuck women. Why is dick mucus in your mind?
And it's not anything new.

They’re not though.

What the fuck is Lethal League derivative of?

Brooooo don’t @ me with all that cum in your mouth

>And it's not anything new.
Your claim was it's too close to a generic FPS, I'm telling you it isn't. Don't move goalposts pls

They're generic.

It's actually a mistranslation, he meant to say 'involved in' not 'me doing'

They’re significantly less derivative than Death Stranding, that’s for sure. And they didn’t go around saying they invented a new genre, despite Nintendo LITERALLY inventing several genres.

Is he losing it after realising how hard his new game will bomb?

It is too close.
Imagine thinking I was arguing FOR hackjimbo by pointing out how generic a game is.

The game isn't even out yet user, calm down. Imagine judging MGS by its trailers

This game is going to sell it least 5m copies

>"I didrent sray anyring about working rate."

I can't even get mad at this dude. He is just a Idea guy with a fat head. Who I am mad at is Sony for giving this dude a blank check when that money could have went towards reviving the franchises that made the Playstation and Playstation 2 what it was

Attached: WOW.png (1069x1348, 1.07M)

why the fuck didnt he just make zone of the enders 3?

zone of ender sucks mate

Except he provably does none of those things and every single time he's co-credited for doing something, it's 99% the other person/people doing the work. The only game he actually wrote is Peace Walker, and it's by far the worst in the entire MGS series.

All of these things were evident in MGS5, where the team who made and designed the weapon modification system surprised Kojima by showing to him. Dude's a QA, nothing more. Let's not even pretend anymore.

FF6's most complex combat minigame was Sabin's Blitz shit and maybe Setzer's gambling.
Like I said, it's not totally new, but combined with the pacifist/genocide mechanics it's unique enough to be of note.
Plus, the SHMUP minigames were actually fun, as opposed to something like YIIK which was just a frankensteins monster of bad ideas.

theyre both hacks

Based Kojimbo being the only one of his kind

>He doesn't even do the music
Yikes, what a hack

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

>The only game he actually wrote is Peace Walker, and it's by far the worst in the entire MGS series.

that bs and you know it

Hate to break it to you, but "tremendously poor" doesn´t constitute a whole darn lot given that he was a child and teen during Japans historically most affluent era, and he did graduate from an elite university, which meant he had someone bankrolling him through his youth at some point. Kojima was the same, but was a latchkey kid with no daddy growing up and most of his family shames him for not becoming a salary-worker

As to Kojima´s hubris, yes its getting unbearable. But his legacy so far includes more or less inventing a game genre and pushing its boundries again and again, and his ideas are tremendously influential in game-design in general, so cut him some slack. Miyazaki succeeded in designing a good formular that he is still milking to this day.
He´ll be like Kojima sooner or later

Like Metal Gear Solid?

Nope, only game he was the lead writer on. Look it up. He's a glory hog.

And this is why all the games where he does all the writing are so shit.

Refn’s character concept is cool and even kojima’s pretentious ass won’t change my mind about that. The fucker should stop doing teasers for so long before showing gameplay. You’re still making a game you fucking hack, show us how it looks instead of trying to create hype with cutscenes for months before showing it

calling it the worst metal gear is the exaggeration.
was hoping that what mgsv would be but on a bigger scale.

>franchises

one is not going to do it mate and the latest few games in that franchise is god awful.

actors are replaceable and their work involves 0 creativity, you could be using robots

Man, Kojima is worse than David Cage at this point and that's sad as fuck.

Or you could learn how to animate, so you don't spend more money hiring an extra nobody to mocap for you.

Does anyone actually think Death Stranding looks fun or you just have a blind faith that Kojima will deliver because reasons?

He's literally just came to the same conclusion as any given Yea Forums poster. Video games have a lot to offer but most developers are cultureless retards that make shit, so there's more to gain from people with a real creative vocabulary.

Its literally blind faith, don't let anybody tell you otherwise, especially when it looks just like the other souless movie games being pushed today.

I'd play it for the story alone but the prospect of travelling across an entire continent, visiting different dimensions and facing supernatural enemies looks fun, yes

The premise seems fun and the terrain traversal mechanics looked genuinely interesting.
I'm hoping that the chiral network multiplayer components turn out ok, too, but even without that I'm excited for it.

This meme has become pretty fucking annoying in the metal gear community.Stop with this retarded meme.

The Metal Gear community is long dead, let them peddle whatever conspiracy theory they like.

Death Stranding is what you get when Kojima's doesn't have people who say "No, Kojima, that's a horrible idea. Change it!" like at Konami.
