Damn, Kojima got some cool friends! His favourite would have to be Mads, though. I met that guy at a convention once and he just exudes coolness. Of course Kojima wants to be around that!
I enjoy this thread and all this situation about kojima but i have a serious question:
How can kojima hang out with so many legendary directors (del toro, park chan wook, refn, miller, and many more) these are all at the top of their craft, we need an investigation...

If I was Kojima I would be in love with Mads...what is it about Mads that brings us to our knees
I wanna meet Mads :(

Friends always know people. Kojima always showed his love for film, being one of the few auteurs in the game industry maybe got the attention of some of them. Some fans of his work probably told about him to these guys too.
He was never a fan of Hayer's work. Despite Hayter voicing Snake for over a decade, they never actually met one another. He was chosen by the voice director at the time rather than Kojima himself. Also Snake not having a lot of dialog was something that Kojima had planned years in advance. He specifically noted as far back as 2008 that he wanted to scale back cutscenes in an effort to approach them a different way.
But all of Kojima's games are ultimately heavily inspired by Hollywood
Metal Gear = Escape from New York
Snatcher = Blade Runner
Policenauts = Lethal Weapon
He's rather open about his obsession with movies
Games are at a point where they can display a real persons likeness to a rather high degree. And he's now seemingly much more involved in casting than he ever was before. So it seems like a natural evolution for him to eventually get to this point. Just look at the old portraits from MG2: Solid Snake
Norman Reedus on Hideo Kojima: "Nothing's gonna stop us this time. I'd do anything for this guy."
I'm just happy this thread exists. Also, Kojima's best friend will be the one who gets him to an Oscar or whatever.
We are all wrong tbh. Kojima has multiple best friends. I think tonight made it pretty clear. We are all being played like fools believing he has just one.
Going by the original post, Kojima only has white friends though. Good to see him hanging out with a black guy though
Just an observation. Is it against the rules to make such an observation?
Not at all. The wtf comes from my perspective, because I personally think that is a very strange observation to make.
How is kojima's English? From past E3's I've always heard him struggle with fluent English or use a translator in other instances. It is hard to believe you can be 'best' friends with someone with a language barrier.
Maybe they're all just really good business associates

Kojima is almost fluent, but uses translators for business times.
Was that really fully planned though? I do remember he wanted a bit less dialouge, and an actor who could convey emotions using the face. But at the same time, there are recordings out there with truckloads of dialouge and lines that Sutherland did for MGS V that was cut out entirely for some reason.
I do believe he wanted less lines, but I also think there is slightly less than what was planned. Probably due to the development-problems.
Also, Geoff dropping by and making the best post in the thread is amazing.
Still, the fact he can barely speak English after 30 plus years in the industry and his love for movies is just disrespectful.
