This is the second time a DidYouKnowGaming? video made me think that Hideo Kojima had died.

That zombie idea is the most exploitative idea for a game I ever heard.

Kojima's mentality towards making more Metal Gear games reminds me of Sakurai's mentality towards making more Super Smash Bros. games. Both creators want to leave their creations behind and make something else, but either the higher ups want them onboard for the next one, or they can't bring themselves to let someone else do the job and besmirch their franchise.

Kojima the type of guy to get his game cancelled because its too ambitious, only to go on to make the most ambitious game ever made

The same qualities that make Kojima a genius are the ones that make me glad other people existed to tell him what was too far <br><br>That zombie idea is pretty atrocious, as creative as it is

I think Kojima falling out with Konami and quitting was a blessing in disguise and perhaps even a relief to him. It really seems like Kojima felt burdened by Metal Gear. He wanted to make other games, but he felt it was his responsibility to be a caretaker for the MGS franchise.<br><br>Now that he has his own studio, he probably has this sense of freedom he hasn't had in decades. I do hope he gets to do all the weird and out there games he had dreamed about while he was at Konami. With his connections, he could probably branch out to other forms of media. I would be very interested in watching a Kojima-written and directed anime, perhaps made by a really dynamic studio like Trigger.

Mikami telling him live, in front of a crowd "I've never heard about that", Kojima insisting, and Mikami doubling down "It's the first I'm hearing of that" is hilarious lmao.<br>Also, is that Suda51 with them on the stage ? Looks and sounds like him. Probably around the days of Killer7 I imagine.

That zombie game idea sounds interesting in concept and doable from a technical standpoint but pretty much impossible to execute from a business perspective, why on earth would anyone pay to not play? The servers would be deserted within a week.<br>I guess Kojima is one of those creatives that's so interested in doing new things that he finds interesting that he completely forgets that what the players usually want is practicality and to play games on their own terms.

The Japanese are always gifted at being innovative,<br><br>but Kojima takes it to a whole different but unpredictable level.
