Hot on the heels of revealing a number of discarded video game ideas and even an idea for a ‘Forgetting Game’ where the main character gradually forgets important information and abilities if you take too long a break from playing, Kojima has revealed he has left his staff a USB stick of game ideas for after he dies.
I seem to recall reading something around the time PT came out, where somebody said that Kojima is pretty difficult to work for, and runs his studio more like a director on a film set would. Apparently, he doesn’t take input or suggestions from anybody else outside of a few trusted writers on his team.
Granted, that was 10+ years ago when he was still at Konami, so maybe things are different now that he’s independent.
I know people love this guy but it’s just so pretentious.
Yeah, he’s crossing into a bit of Hideki Kamiya territory with actions like that.
i wonder if Kojima is also hated by his (current and) former employees like Kamiya (self admitted in interview in Unseen games YouTube channel)
