Hideo Kojima is nothing short of a legend in the gaming world thanks to his 3-decade tenure on his Metal Gear series. For the last couple years since the company sent him packing when it decide to focus on pachinko machines instead of big-scale games, he’s been working on something new: Death Stranding. Ever since the first trailer, we’ve been struggling to figure out exactly what it’s...
I have no idea what Death Stranding is about. But there are few games I'm as excited for. Hideo Kojima has gone out of his way to be as vague as possible about his upcoming game, despite having shown us three trailers for it. At tonight's Game Awards, we got an in-depth, almost eight-minute look at it. And we still don't know a thing. This is the longest trailer for the game yet. It...
I know a lot of unreasonable gamers don’t want to hear nice things about Konami these days, but when it’s their Messiah Hideo Kojima preaching, they might just drop the pride and listen. In a recent interview with Toyo Keizai, the famed Metal Gear creator praised the video game company, saying that it granted him a lot of freedoms to make the games he wanted. He followed up lamenting...
As Hideo Kojima works on his first big departure from the Metal Gear series in a long time, and his first project since leaving Konami last year, the director has been pretty careful about revealing information before he’s ready. Little bits and pieces trickle out, though. In an interview with the PlayStation Blog this week, a few more tidbits slipped out, and while they’re hardly...
When Hideo Kojima dropped by The Game Awards to accept his Industry Icon award, he came bearing a new trailer for his upcoming game Death Stranding. The trailer was said to be running in real-time and in 4K on the PlayStation 4 Pro. A couple days later at Sony’s PlayStation Experience event, Kojima revealed the tech powering the game: Horizon Zero Dawn developer Guerrilla Games’ Decima...
Hideo Kojima helmed the Metal Gear series from its inception on the MSX2 back in 1987 all the way up through the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain last year, just a hair short of three decades. Despite throwing some really bizarre minigames into the series over the years, including a skateboarding minigame and one based on the Ape Escape games, Kojima never made it as far...
If you’ve been under a rock or down on the farm for the last few hours, you might have missed out on Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima showing up at Sony’s E3 2016 press conference this year. It’s true! He brought out his new game Death Stranding, which stars Norman Reedus in his best birthday suit, and what’s most euphoric about the whole situation is that Konami is nowhere to be...
Hideo Kojima’s games have been getting bigger and bigger over the years, with Metal Gear Solid V being his biggest (and arguably best) ever. With an increasing game size comes a need for more creators of every variety. Now that Kojima is out of Konami’s clutches, he has his own studio and can make a project entirely of his own devising. He’d wanted to make a small project to start, but...
Silent Hills is canceled and Hideo Kojima has left Konami. Nothing’s going to change that. The teaser for Silent Hills, called P.T., left an indelible mark on games, though. Fans were understandably disappointed when the game’s teaser disappeared from the PlayStation Store and rightfully angry when they realized that a deleted copy of P.T. couldn’t be re-downloaded as with most...
For over a decade, David Hayter was the voice of Metal Gear Solid protagonists Solid Snake and Big Boss. Hayter and Snake were, and still are for many gamers,inextricably linked. It was a huge blow to fans and to Hayter himself when he lost the role to Keifer Sutherland in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. It turns out, though, that we were almost having this...
