The thing is that Kojima has proven himself to be a terrible writer, so I doubt he has the skill to do something of any artistic merit. In any case he's at least trying something different, I'm really curious of what the outcome will be; especially since I don't think anybody in games ever had the freedom to do whatever they wanted using a big budget.
Oh, ok! I thought he just didn't talk about it. Thanks!
Same. I'm happy we have someone like Kojima who is willing to try something different. People wonder why we don't get new or innovative AAA games anymore, all they need to do is look at this thread and some of the shit people in here are saying. This thread is depressing to any game dev that wants to try something new in their AAA game. People are conditioned to expect the usual around here so much so that when a visionary and an innovator like Kojima comes around they claim he's pretentious or on drugs, truly sad state for the industry.
You don't need good writing to create something with artistic merit wtf
You do need good writing to create a story that has any artistic merit. wtf lol
Nowhere in your post or the post you quoted mentions anything about exclusively referring to a story.
I think it has to do with his distinct position as an auteur, which is less common in games than other media, combined with his popularity and pedigree.
Thank you for sharing this with us. It's always nice to see things from the creators' point of view.
Bit in bold... Seriously? Kojima doesn't even come close to the bs of Molyneux.
Or maybe some people fail to understand the meaning behind his words?
Or maybe people are gullible enough to actually believe that Kojima doesn't understand his own game.
In terms of saying ridiculous things he's surpassed him
Not to think some loud minority here lead you believe that , Kojima would release a blank DVD and people would still praise him . Every part of gaming communuties basically worship guy
Comparing the two is assuming that nothing in Death Stranding is completely new. Going one step further, this is an attempt in creating a new genre, and the acceptance of that doesn't happen overnight. There are probably people within Kojima Productions that are scratching their heads at some elements of the game at this stage. Scratching of heads is the expected result and the intended result. Still, the gameplay loop and the general synopsis is already out there for anyone to digest if they choose to invest some time into it, but you're not supposed to understand everything or what would be the point?
It could be both.
At this point there's a crystal clear agenda by many to show up in every Kojima or DS thread and shit it up with blatant misinterpretations of quotes, despite vocalizing they have no interest in the game.
