Hideo Kojima has worked on titles like Death Stranding and the Metal Gear series, becoming one of the most renowned creators among gamers, known for his unconventional ideas and unexpected statements. Recently, Kojima spoke about the importance of publishing games that one feels satisfied with, and the type of games that even aliens after centuries would describe as fantastic.
In a recent interview with Anan News, Hideo Kojima answered questions from many of his followers while sharing his thoughts as a creator. The Japanese director believes that the most important thing every developer should strive for when creating video games is satisfaction. He stated that he will not release a game he does not believe in, and continued:
If I make something I’m satisfied with, after centuries, aliens may come and say, “This is fantastic.”
Kojima also discussed how to evaluate the works of painters 100 to 200 years after their deaths, similarly wanting to develop video games that would be admired by aliens even after centuries as fantastic.
In another question, Kojima mentioned that he considers himself lucky to have found video games in his life and hopes to continue developing them for as long as possible.
It is worth noting that Death Stranding 2 is currently in development at Kojima Productions and is set to be released in 2025 exclusively for PS5.
