What others game directors call pull a "Hideo Kojima Game"

The problem is that Suda has had his name stapled to like six or seven projects now that he didn't really have all that much to do with, diluting its power.
He's not the most famous creator at SE, but FF XVI having "From the vision of Hiroyuki Ito" might may you feel FF is back.
See this one is weird for me because Mikami for the longest time has been all about raising young talent and giving them their shots. Even some games associated with him that he produced (vanquish, god hand) were actually directed by other people. I think Mikami would be more in favor of putting those names in front of his

Please come back later, that's a topic i would love to discuss, i mean, we see guys like Druckman, Myazaki or Barlog, they are pretty much a seal of quality, just like Tarantino or Scorcese. And of course we see the "newcomers" like Suda, Yoko Taro, etc. I still don't see this like a ego thing and more like a comercial thing.
I don't think OP actually read his interview on what Kojima considers "a Hideo Kojima game". It's not just every game he's involved with...

That's what i mean, i would do the same for a Cory Barlog game or a Neil Druckman game.

I read that interview, and i know is not just an ego thing, dude does a lot os stuff from behind the scenes. I am more curious in a comercial level if people would buy a game just because it has director X involved with or not.
?
Mikami directed both Vanquish and God Hand.
Are you getting mixed up with Suda51? Shadows of the Damned, Killer is Dead, Lollipop Chainsaw, No More Heroes 2; they were all games directed by other people.
Oh I absolutely think it's a commercial thing in most cases, that's why names like Tarantino and Tim Burton get stapled to products that they only had minor roles in creating. People will absolutely go out and see a movie just because of the name printed on the poster.
People already mentioned that this has happened several times with Suda 51, but I feel like I'm games it's harder to fake like that because since it's more hands on, it's easier to tell when it's not the case.
Also am I mistaken or did Corey Barlog not actually work on the new GoW? I know he didn't direct most of them after I want to say 2, but I haven't played the new one or really looked into it so I don't know if he came back for it
I don't think either of them are arrogant enough (or, let's be real - as singularly in charge of projects enough) to claim that. Especially nowadays.
Maybe not arrogant enough but If Miyamoto did and had his name plastered on it as the father of mario i bet noone would be against it and it would sell gang busters.

I'm sorry I had it mixed up, the guy I'm thinking of was the Designer on those, he directed RE: Code Veronica https://www.destructoid.com/god-hand-and-vanquish-designer-is-a-farmer-now-270883.phtml
.....that said, lend me ¥50,000
Nobody should frown on this. This started long before Kojima and it was a positive and important change for the industry.
Why is this about ego to you?

Does every film director have a big ego? I always see their names on the screen when I watch a movie.
Is Sid Meier even involved with Civ anymore?Sid Meier has been doing it for over 20 years.
IT IS? LMAO
Miyazaki probably should have did this starting with at least Dark Souls, his name would be strong by now.
Yeah Kato was the lead designer on those games with Mikami.
Also...
☆Welcome back☆What was that?☆An exploding aircraft?☆I shall be waiting with a smile at the front desk☆
there's a lot of names that come to mind who can pull off something like that. doesn't mean they'll do it tho.
As far as I know they both have someone who direct the work as a whole and someone who do a part of the work.
I see no differences.
It's usually just something added to games that have a singular creator/writer.
Tended to be more common with simpler, earlier games and the general reality that games then started as indie projects rather than board room pitches. Sierra On-line alone had Roberta Williams (King's Quest), Al Lowe (Liesure Suit Larry), and Scott Murphy/Mark Crowe (Space Quest) who could all, and likely did, have the game basically be credited as their own.
What is currently more interesting about Hideo Kojima though is that he actually has a production company using his own name. Extremely rare for a creator/writer/director to do, especially these days. Most are under the umbrella of a larger company.
But yeah, basically being the creator is the most important (as in, coming up with the idea and concept), and second, having a significant hand in making the game, even if it is only writing the script. Which is what was true for most of Kojima's games.

His name already IS strong, and it's part of why he got promoted. He doesn't need to put his name on the front cover of his games and Pretend he's the single reason they're good.
Why is it ok if other mediums' artists do this but not this one?
And dont give me that "game development takes wary more people than any other medium," which is true in a sense, but missing the point. Michael Angelo had a studio with dozens of aids, other artists and helpers, but you'd be crazy not to look at a work by him and say its not of his own singular vision.
Yoshiaki Koizumi is the most important name for me. Every game his name appears on has ranged from good to great.
Agree, but there are others who already do it as evidenced in this thread.
I really appreciate what Gearbox did with the Borderlands 3 credits.
Gearbox is...

That way good ol' CEO Randy Pitchford looks no more important than the QC dudes or sound designers. They are all part of the team that made the game what it is. I really appreciate when leadership shows that level of humility.
