Hideo Kojima Feels That Too Many Games Look Alike These Days and Wants to Be the First to Make Games in Space

He's not wrong... too many copy cat clones of whatever just recently got hot. I can't even begin to count the trends, and most of them are just filled with garbage. A result of corporate money wanting to chase "safe" investments, not fund anything groundbreaking or innovative. And the more ambitous (expensive) the project, the more risk averse they become. So you get the annual Madden and Call of Duty and chasing whatever the hot Flavor of the Month is.

Also, he should absolutely go to space.
 
I haven't enjoyed all of his creations... but I don't have to. And if he wants to go to space to make a game and that helps fund space travel/exploration I'm all for him spending corporate dollars to do just that.
 
I'm not really a fan of his games, tried several times to get into Death Stranding but just couldn't get into it, but I do agree about the copycat strategy for whatever is popular.
 
He just makes things different for the sake of being different not for the sake of being better.

I'll take a proven formula over kojima's any day. Death Stranding could've been good if it had proven mechanics instead of "Oh, I'm so edgy and unique".

He is the modern artist equivalent of gaming. If he pulled a dingleberry from the hairs of his backside and smeared it on a disc, it would still be lauded as high-art by his sycophants .

He's like George Lucas., Great vision.... no so great on execution if left to his own devices. Lucas makes great stories but needs a solid director to translate them to a good movie. :)
