Yo, what?
" Kojima is Kojima's own best friend... "
"kojima inspires kojima... next question"
Like, I randomly encountered Kojima and Shinkawa at last year's San Diego Comic Con. Like so told them they were my favorite game director and artist. Kojima was concerned I was going to have a heart attack. I shook their hands.
This blessed life.
Kojima...was a bad friend.

Before they were closely related. There was a MGS character based on Tomoaki Iishiba, this was before Kojima fell in love with all the Western actors. When Iishiba was in jail, apparently Kojima never visited him. So in the end he was not good enough a friend after all :-(

I'm sorry Geoff.
Okay, so we all know about Death Stranding, the first game of Kojima Productions, and all the teasers, images and clues here and there are very interesting, but, by far, the biggest selling point for me is Mads Mikkelsen hanging out with an everlasting smiling Hideo Kojima.
No, for real.
We are seeing how they are bonding and how they are getting together, this makes me hope for Mads's role being a very important role in the game. This situation is unique in the industry and I'm enjoying it more than any trailers or teasers.
My ARG is Kojima having fun with his bro.
See you in The Game Awards
Lately Kojima just seems to be having fun with people he likes and respects and it’s so nice to see. There’s so many stories about him being separate from his team and the public eye during the late part of MGSV development that it makes me happy to see him being able to go wild and be creative with cool people.

This post was meant for that other thread:
Eh I'm not really sure if I'm on board with this whole injecting B List (low A?) stars into all his games. I have a pretty cynical view on it.
Getting Kiefer in MGS over Hayter (assuming that was his decision) strikes me as a bit disingenuous and maybe even a tad pretentious. What was wrong with Hayter? And from what I understand Keifer ended up barely even speaking in the game.
I'm not against the idea on principle or anything, but it just looks to me like Kojima soothing his Hollywood boner to me. You can call that a cynical take, and maybe it is, but are people really clamoring for these stars to star in games? Again, I'm not really against it, but it's not particularly something I want either. Norman Reedus was cool for Silent Hills, I was in board with that. I thought it made sense with a series already heavily inspired by Hollywood movies.
Maybe he just wants to "evolve" the medium. That's about the only thing I muster that is less cynical.
/cynical take
ps. I'm not Kojima's biggest fan but I really like some of his games. That's where it ends for me.
Yeah im a huge fan of his games but I feel the exact same way. Usually adding celebrities in games and making a big deal about it would kill any interest I have in the game, the only reason I'm still interested is because it's a Kojima game.
I prefer original characters with their own faces by far. Death Stranding could be amazing but I'm not gonna remember any game character who is just a celebrity
