Hideo Kojima: "I'm not a prophet."

[BossAttack]

Kojima has been answering some fan questions on his instagram account lately and I found his latest Q&A quite humorous to be worthy of its own thread. You heard it from the man himself, he's no prophet. He just spends a lot of time researching and sometimes he gets "lucky."



Also Bonus Q&A regarding customer service:

 

[TheDarkKnight]

That's Exactly what a prophet would say

 

[chandoog]

Aren't you though ?

 

[Strike]

Blasphemy!

 

[Kyrios]

He probably predicts that we won't even believe him, checkmate!

This.
He is so humble and down to earth.

Such a modest prophet

[Nameless]

Sure, Koji. FOXDIE isn't ravaging the planet or anything.

Imagine those early wedding videos...

FILMED, EDITED AND WRITTEN BY

HIDEO KOJIMA.

KOJIMA WEDDING PRODUCTIONS.

 

[skeezx]

and with that hundreds of biblical scholars' life work is ruined

 

[Bradford]

Sounds like something a prophet would say.

 

[Bor Gullet]

 

[JoJo'sDentCo]

Seems like a nice guy.

 

[Deleted member 18161]

Scary about Lacquer poisoning!

Cool he was a gardener. I've been learning some basics this summer from my friend. It's very rewarding and relaxing.

Bob Dylan once said the same. And, like Bob Dylan, Kojima is lying.

Any spoilers to the game in there?

No.

I will say he is more tuned into the world than most game makers for absolute sure. Those seeds definitely help the games be entertaining.

"Make America Great Again" has been around since the 80s.. Reagen used it IIRC. It's just luck.

That woman is like "what the fuck"

 

[OneThirtyEight]

He is. Death Stranding felt like a religous experience.

[jaymzi]

He has to say this otherwise no one will give him any money to make a horror game.

It's so similar it's actually kinda eerie. (minus the whole BB thing)

But, they must have gotten the look from the game, right?

 

[Einchy]

Praise be to Kojima.

 

[OnionPowder]

I think what he meant to say is that he's not a PROFIT.

Lmao. I never heard that audio log before. Fantastic.

 

[HardRojo]

Yeah yeah Kojima, please make your next game about a beautiful world where we are all good and the evil people somehow are reborn as good.

Just because I am tired of seeing this meme, how many game devs credit: Artists, Voice actors, and mo cap actors in the body of the game and trailers for the game aka not the credits? Because Kojima does.

Oh! I get it! Like Fortune and Vamp, he's using nanomachines to predict human behavior.
