After this year's Summer Game Festival press conference, the legendary game producer was interviewed by foreign media Ssense and commented on the current situation of the electronic game industry.In an interview with Ssense, Hideo Kojima admitted that he was deeply disappointed with the current electronic game industry because there are too many games with the same graphics and gameplay.
He pointed out that almost all the games exhibited at the Summer Game Festival were either fighting aliens or medieval monsters.Hideo Kojima found that not only the settings of these games were almost exactly the same, but the graphics and game systems were almost the same.
While he can understand that many people like these games, he believes it is crucial to bring something truly novel to the industry.Kojima has been doing this for years, especially after two Death Stranding games, and now it seems that only independent game developers are doing it.
Due to disappointment in the gaming industry that has always produced pictures and gameplay almost identically, it is reasonable for Kojima to not play Konami's "Metal Equipment 3: Remake", and the remake game will not significantly change the gameplay of the original.
Although Hideo Kojima's games often stand out from all other games on the market, Kojima himself cannot escape criticism, especially because Kojima often participates in all aspects of game development.However, he believes that it is this single-minded focus that is what makes him successful, as it allows him to handle multiple aspects of the game simultaneously, rather than step by step like a movie, starting with writing scripts to storyboards and production.
With Death Stranding 2 now on sale, Hideo Kojima and his studio are working on Physint, which will mark his return to the action/slide formula for Metal Gear, along with the mysterious OD, which will be a completely different piece that people either love it or hate it.After the game is released, Kojima will listen to the players' opinions, but he does not care about instant comments because he firmly believes that the true legacy of his game will be defined by the future.
