UPS Delivery is without a doubt something aliens would love.

 

[Gonzito]

He forgot to take his medicines again

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Cannot wait for Apocalypse Delivery Simulator 2, this is going to look sick on PS5 Pro, worth the money simply for that. Decima is going to look delicious in 4K 60

 

[Kokoloko85]

He can do it

 

[lockdown2222]

He forgot to take his medicines again

On the flip side, I think he’s on some good stuff, lol.

 

[Edder1]

This guy probably not only smells his own farts, but preserves them in a jar so the aliens centuries from now can smell his greatness.

This guy probably not only smells his own farts, but preserves them in a jar so the aliens centuries from now can smell his greatness.

I've seen women sell their jars of farts online.

Kojima comes off as pretentious I agree but Death Stranding is a masterpiece.

This guy is

That's how you get when you make GOTY after GOTY.

 

[Darkkahn]

Is such a thing even possible?

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Obviously he knows something. Probably one of the witnesses for the next UAP hearing on Nov 13th.

 

[SSfox]

The first MGS is definitely a game that would impress Aliens, Greek, gods or anyone. This game for gaming is what Pyramids are for are architecture.

 

[SJRB]

This fucking guy

 

[midnightAI]

Kojima comes off as pretentious I agree but Death Stranding is a masterpiece.

So are most of his games so I think personally he has earned the right to be

 

[Rush2112]

As long as it ain’t for gamers, he’s cool with it. Hollywood, ALIENS ffs, whatever keep on defending this moron.

 

[Big Baller]

 

[_Ex_]

His take assumes a helluva lot about aliens.

 

[hemo memo]

Forgetting your medication again, Kojima?

Decrypt... According to gpt chat.

Yes, Hideo Kojima has always shown a unique and ambitious perspective on video games. From Metal Gear to Death Stranding, his approach not only explores gameplay and complex storytelling but also dives into philosophical and existential concepts, often visionary and out of the ordinary. His aspiration to create games that even extraterrestrials would appreciate in the future shows just how expansive his vision is and how willing he is to push beyond conventional boundaries in the industry. He’s a creator with a futuristic imagination and limitless ambition!

 

[nnytk]

As a fellow artist I love this approach and idea, it might sound a bit out there but he's just raising the bar and aligning himself with an interesting perspective.

It's his way to make interesting entertainment and art, and he's absolutely succeeding.

Everyone is weird, no need to shame him or mock him for being the best version of himself - and being successful in an industry that's as chaotic and disfunctional as ever.

well at least he's a dev thinking that way.

Most devs think about how they can groo...*cough, "Educate"... kids these day.

 

[March Climber]

He has already helped accomplish this:

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

I'd prefer if he made games that regular human beings can call coll right now.

Kojima on OD: It's a game, but it’s a game like no other

https://gamingbolt.com/od-is-a-bit-risky-and-a-game-like-no-other-kojima Speaking recently in an interview with Variety, Kojima touched on the same, and reiterated how “risky” OD is going to be, calling it “a game like no other”, and a “new challenge” even for him as a developer. “This is a...

[Crayon]

Don't we all.

 

[Badlucktroll]

“Kojima!!!!!!”

 

[Kurotri]

Wait, Aliens are real?

 

[adamsapple]

 

[cireza]

Pretty sure that the first species that will have created the means to travel and meet another species will find this species retarded, and not cool. And some video-game won't change it.

 

[Davevil]

 

[PurePlatinum]

He has succeeded. Any zoomer with a modicum of rizz knows that MGS1 just has that "cool" element that other developers just can't replicate.

 

[peronmls]

How about some good mystery horror. I really don’t care for generic modern futuristic concepts.

 

[Caffeine]

if u have a billion copies of boktai. we can make a nice solar array for the aliens.

 

[nial]

to everyone ITT

 

[Icymanipulator]

He already has, MGS5 is the pinnacle of stealth gameplay. Nothing has come remotely close to it after all these years.

 

[Hypereides]

Kojima secretly hung out way too much with Snoop dogg backstage at E3s back in the day. There's no other way to explain this.

 

[Gp1]

Fuck it, I'm in.

At least someone is trying something new in this industry of call of duty 215, spider man 45, horizon remaster remaster 2, etc.

 

[XXL]

 

[Madserb2023]

He already does. It would take an alien to sit through the cutscenes in Metal Gear Solid 4 or understand it for that matter.

 

[Esppiral]

Right now he is making games that will put to sleep aliens, they may find it cool though.

 

[mitch1971]

How about making games now for humans that are cool?

 

[sono]

How can you assume cool is a desirable state in an Alien frame of reference

 

[Azelover]

He already did it..

 

[Skifi28]

Hi, I'm an alien and most of his games aren't cool even now.
