Said it before and I'll say it again this is one of the most underrated channels on RUclips. Your insight and knowledge of the games is incredible and seemingly limitless. Almost every video I learn to relove the series that much more. Surely your videos are right on the verge of reaching the millions of fans. Here's to hoping the channel expands to reach the masses. Then maybe you will get the support and love this channel deserves.
@@hikari67 More like mashing it up. I see your point, but thats like saying the "main character lies to the side character's" is not a cliché and more like they just steal the plotline.
Man, akira had a huge influence on him. And BRO, mass effect literally ripped off policenauts with the design of the citadel. Fucking fascinating stuff!!
I will never get over how Bioware totally ripped beyond out of policenauts and put a heavy emphasis on Csec to boot. Let alone everything else I love this channel because I've actually learned a lot about videogame history with kojima having been in the industry so long
Interesting how many things he took from the Policenauts and put in his MGS games. Now I also know why the Luden Kojima studio character looks the way it does.
With Kojima moving away from metal gear, It seems like the perfect way for him to reboot Snatcher and Policenauts but that might have to wait due to the little mystery he's planning
Wow, so the Konami logo used to be an astronaut? Is the Ludens figure of Kojima Productions just supposed to be a great big "F Konami"? I'd enjoy that, I'ma roll with that.
The Konami logo was never an astronaut. Its one of the logos for Policenauts, which ludens is clearly inspired by. I think Kojima was breaking new grounds when he made Policenauts so he wants to bring that "bold explorer" mindset into Ludens
So, since snatchers. Kojima's been recycling the same themes, names, character types, and tropes in almost all his games? Recycling them, while his developers add new gameplay mechanics as the hardware evolves to allow new game loop varieties. and b4 I get backlash about some of his other games that were different (I said almost. not all)
Maybe a sequel to Rising, I don't think there's anything else left to explore in Metal Gear Solid. There's pretty much a complete history for MGS3 to MGS4. One thing that could be really interesting would be a game where you played as the Boss, like MGSV was initially planned to be, but I don't think it's really needed tbh
I hate the idea that mgs4 was "bland on purpose" and will never accept it. Why can't Kojima simps just admit he made a bad game? It happens to everyone who makes games
People never seem to call Snake a spy. Like if you asked people IRL who the best fictional spies are you'd get Bond (OBVIOUSLY) and Sam Fisher and more, but NO ONE would say Snake. NO ONE!
great channel, great videos, but please give spoiler alerts at the beginning. Edit: just noticed you mention it in your description, my bad. Still would have been nice tho.
I dont know why but i feel like the media is trying to oversell Kojima and i still could imagine him really well as a shitty employer that treats his employees like crap for his ~oh so beautiful gaming company and company name that must not be sullen ~
literally watched a gulf war syndrome documentary the other day and the mgs bit about gene experiments sounded fucking disturbing. gotta love Kojima's obsession with military/war info lol
it has some truth a george bush ally made a vaccine that were given to soldiers that cause the gulf war syndrome. their are prisoners in texas that has the gulf war syndrome who has never been to iraq, why cause they also gave it to the prisoners, thats a a fact. I've known it so long i forgot where i read it, the name of the prison and the george bush ally who made the vaccine...hwy cut it happened no on cared, they did the evil and got away & this became obsolete news but its not,
Honestly he's not been the same since MGS 5. I absolutely love that game i think he needs to return to stealth action with some new characters and have someone help him write the lore and story like fromsoft did with fatty rr martin
Deception can be accepted by fandom as long as the rewards to come are transparent. And Kojima lacks the balls to be transparent on things like MGS2's Raiden debacle, MGS4's old ass Snake. MGSV and the Hayter/Keifer conspiracy bitch made move. Metal Gear Survive (His zombie game that he said he would never do in MGS ...lol!!). Do I even have to speak on the failed delivery of a game that is actually FUN with Death Stranding? Sometimes you can fall into your own creative traps, especially apparent when you have a name and eyes are all on you. And yet again, he is doing what he thinks is fun marketing with bullshitting his fans on his next coming title with subterfuge and sleight of hand. You don't see this type of crap anywhere from any other professional in creation and presentation of books, film, t.v., or games. Just Hideo. Why? Oh, cause it's genius? Nope. Narcissim.
Kojima's biggest lie is that you never play as Solid Snake after Metal Gear Solid, except for like 20 minutes in MGS2. In the rest of the games you play as Naked Snaked, Big Boss, or Old Snake. or stupid Raiden! Kojima is a troll.
I thought you were going to also to go into detail of the ruses. I like the little details like fact that Kojima Alleged that the body double from the trailer was "him" the creator looking into his game world. However it wasn't a lie, a half truth sine the body double is the player, Kojima too is Big Boss/ the medic.
I absolutely was, but then I realized he's done so many ruses and stunts with just the marketing / promotion of his games, that's a topic for a video in itself! Thanks for watching
Irrelevant topic but im buying Death Stranding Director Cut & finger crossing Abandoned is in fsct Kojima's Silent Hill Cuz im a massive Kojima fan. Ok good night
I think he never left Konami and is working side by side with them, who will fire such a brilliant mind out of the sudden? Also before the release of PT, those tweets from 2012 where he takes photos of landscapes in Finland or Iceland (which later will be utilized in Death Stranding) . He was planning Death Stranding since then. And not a Silent Hill game .
You've heard about "Hasan Kahraman" right? Let's get this straight! In Turkish, "Hasan" is a name, 破産(Which is pronounced exactly! same: Hasan) means bankruptcy-insolvency (Symbolizing KONAMI-KOJIMA dispute and Silent Hill P.T. failure). "Kahraman" means 主人公(Protagonist) or 勇者 (Hero) in Turkish which as I can understand stands for Kojima himself.
The parts I love the most of Kojima Games are the constant lies and plot twists, even during pre-releases.
That foxhound engine promo
If it weren't for the lies and twists we wouldn't love his games so much
It’s different good, if that makes sense.
But no being Big Boss in MGSV was…weird.
Yep even the lead ups to his game announcements are pure entertainment.
So like a regular developer
Kojima is more often telling you truth than lies, he uses cryptic means and ciphers for you to discover it
Cipher?!
Cipher?
Cipher!!!!
a Hind D?
LaLiLuLeLo ! What are you talking about ?
it's so funny to me that in mgs3 almost every character is a spy
A whole bunch of spies spying on eachother all along, for the govt. thats the plot of the whole game! 😂
What if you're spy, what if I am?!
Real spy shit..
And then there's volgin trying to figure out the spy
Except for Volgin. He's just gullible.
He played us like a damn FIDDLE!
Has been playing us like a damn fiddle since 87
why are we still buying and playing? just to suffer?

Poor Kojima.. it must be a nightmare to write creatively when your fiction keeps accurately predicting the darkest aspects of humanity's future
Yeah it's so hard to watch movies then steal their plot lines LOL
People think he predicted stealth camouflage lol.. nobody see Predator?
@@Tails7212 where did anyone say that? Like ever? With the exception of children in a playground, where has that _ever_ been suggested?

Damn how does Snatcher look THIS good?
I feel like everytime you talk about policenauts you ignore the fact that the characters are exactly ripped from lethal weapon
And then those characters are then put into MGS 1(Meryl)
Gary Busey as well?
@@JoshuaElijahC sadly excluding Gary busy
@@PirateCat822 even the guy from Policenauts looks like Solid Snake with blue hair.
@@danny1884 and solid snake looks like snake plissken from escape from new york
Interesting how many things he took from the Policenauts and put in his MGS games. Now I also know why the Luden Kojima studio character looks the way it does.
With Kojima moving away from metal gear, It seems like the perfect way for him to reboot Snatcher and Policenauts but that might have to wait due to the little mystery he's planning
Those IPs also belong to Konami, i want him to release new IPs and new concepts i trust him.
Maybe best thing to metal Gear is that new game is made by someone Else than kojima. I Want to believe that saga can rise again without kojima
@@snodreamer "The world would be better off without Snakes"..
All his games are reboots of themselves.
@@snodreamer I dunno, I feel rather uneasy with the concept of Metal Gear without Kojima.
Look what Konami did with Survive... Yikes.
imagine the hype when finding the truth playing tru his games
i dont have to imagine cuz i know i felt it, more then once
whoa
@@smith6752 yup just like the phantom cigar 😅
What was said truth? I'm genuinely intrigued to know your interpretation as different people get different things from the series

Policenauts and snatcher are such treasures. They stand the test of time.
Hideo the type of dude to tell his family he's going out to get cigarettes and milk and then leaves to become a video game director
There should be more games like Snatcher and Policenauts.
One day Yoko Taro is going to take off the mask and reveal he was Kojima the entire time.
Yes and the Kojima we have been seeing this whole time was his phantom LMAO 🤣
What if Kojima's face is a face mask, and under it is the Emil face, and that turns out to be the actual real face of Yoko Kojima? :O
So, since snatchers. Kojima's been recycling the same themes, names, character types, and tropes in almost all his games? Recycling them, while his developers add new gameplay mechanics as the hardware evolves to allow new game loop varieties.

Keep these vids coming my man! I love your in depth analysis and commentary on the mgs games.
The worst one is "tomorrow is in your hands" and I had to wait months :_(
What?!
All I know is I wouldn't want to play hide n seek with Kojima.
I bet you if mr kojima was to make a new metal gear solid game everybody would be so happy
You don't think we should let it rest?

@@makefoxhoundgreatagain842 Nobody counts survive
And still i finished mgs4 like 15 times so yeah, even the worse metal gear game its fun to play
@@jasonlobo2350 agree to disagree 😅 I really don't like it
I've seen countless reviews and things about MG games and Kojima that this doesn't surprise me at all.
So he can cram moral values in a unskippable cutscene at the end
we've been smeckledorfed!!
MGS2 still scares me the most.
Red pill
I need scissors, 61!
I hope the Xbox deal is a subversion or misdirection. I don't want to have to buy an Xbox for one damn game.
Right. Dont trip tho. Its just cuz MS has the tech for a cloud game. Doesnt mean he jumped ship.

He’s Kojima, I would PAY that man to lie to me
TURNS OUT, EEYORE
By the way, kojima had no hand in metal gear. His first game in the series was mgs1. :)
Whare is that opening theme song from I've heard it before ik its a game just can't think of it. Vr trying them for mgs1?
So Mass Effect Citadel wasn't really that original afterall.
literally watched a gulf war syndrome documentary the other day and the mgs bit about gene experiments sounded fucking disturbing. gotta love Kojima's obsession with military/war info lol

Please someone tell me the name of the intro song!!
Mgs 2 is the best game because of the game is dropping red pill
Hideo GODjima
What does the 240p test suite have to do with this?
Dark 9= death stranding.
So faux Harrison Ford and bit size Metal Gear's dynamic is more like of Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey, huh?
The games are fun, regardless. The plot is just that weird, kinky Japanese icing in the cake.
Death Stranding is clearly in the strand type game genre.
A fellow dunkey watcher, ha!
Kojima will being telling lies to investors after the sub-par performance of Death Stranding.
will he publish in xbox tho?
I am foxhoondr but you can call me foxhound!
how could he do this to us??? ):
for real though, can't wait to watch this!

Personally, I think Death Stranding is their current magnum opus.
We don't even know how Elden ring is going to turn out
he ruined mgo3 and said it would be promising
