That weird ass LUDENS room in Kojima Productions

[vestan]

I like it a lot, don't get me wrong. Definitely unique and plays into the Kojima brand image, but is there really an entire room in KojiPro dedicated to a Ludens statue and nothing else? It looks so... omninous... Just standing there in a pure white room like that...

i wanna visit...........................

It looks like something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey

Real talk though, Kojima is really putting that Sony money to use huh? Seeing all the little studio tours and what not, it seems Sony set him up with a real nice joint. Making games in an environment like this must be so nice.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Conan was there?

 

[FelipeMGM]

its a hallway no?

 

[Andi]

I am scared of cory's eyes..............

 

[IIFloodyII]

I think it's the entrance to the studio.

 

[RJeddy]

Was Conan's session with Kojima ever released? I remember they taped something with him but that it was held back - I'm assuming for spoilers from a trailer, but that was like a year ago now.

 

[Lowrys]

The lights look like an exclamation mark about the statue's head.

Coincidence? Probably.

 

[Deleted member 1656]

I like to call it the MONEY room. If you look really carefully you can see money in it. You can feel money.

 

[Kinthey]

The way the studio has put so much focus on their own branding is kind of weird but it also seems to be working

 

[super moustique]

That's what you call "going too far"! :D

 

[Village]

cult of personality, build the brand

 

[Kolx]

Where's that conan episode that we were promised?

I'd love to take a selfie there

This room looks...



endless.

Spoiler

I'm still disappointed.

 

[Lant_War]

I think it's trying to convey how artificial beauty in videogames is

 

[Chumunga64]

You should see the Ricola room

 

[Liam Allen-Miller]

Does your entrance hall not look like this?

It is.

 

[Previously on Lost]

That room makes Conan's pale skin even paler.

 

[Randdalf]

It's all a bit Ron Dennis

 

[AgentLampshade]

Laser hallway that activates when Konami employees try to visit.

 

[BossAttack]

The open kitchen/lunch room always looks like a big annoyance. Only thing that looks terrible.

Probably if it was sponsored, or if DS is heavily featured in it. It has a long tail from shoot to being released near the game coming. Bley could have just reached out, or field producers. But it's fairly likely sponsored sony content for the game and will have a window already planned for release dictated by Sony, or they actually have to wait till NDA's are elapsed.

 

[Deleted member 31092]

It's part of the Kojima brand image.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Its a hallway they just wheel out the statue for picture opportunities. Kojima has a nice set up at the moment though alot of studios just go for function using former offices and warehouses as best they can.

 

[Masterspeed]

It's a metaphorical birthing for a room. Once Kojima sets foot into his office, he's in his new life.

that's probably what shit he thinks

 

[Rassilon]

It looks neat, so why not?

It's all about constructing that Baudrillard hyperreality yoooo

 

[Griselbrand]

It reminds me of this SCP.

 

[ghostemoji]

It's a striking room to take a photos in with celebrities. People will look and check out the product.

 

[OSHAN]

I never noticed how the ceiling vents produced an exclamation point (!) effect.

 

[Champion]

It looks like a hyperbolic time chamber.

It's because they wanted it to feel homely I think. Based on Media Molecule's studio. But yeah, I'm not really a fan of that, looks kinda awkward.

 

[Zok310]

Conan getting ready for that DS lets play episode.

He's pulling an mgs2. 30 mins into DS, main character dies and you play as Conan

 

[Mg.]

Ooph. That open floor plan.

 

[Deleted member 17643]

Those cable routes that look like spines are badass.

 

[Deleted member 2229]

Its such a beautiful studio

Yeah, awful. Just add some walls!

 

[Fat4all]

i swear if Conan is modeled somewhere in this game...

soooo goooood

 

[Whompa]

man they have one hell of a beautiful office space...

 

[RoboPlato]

Such a fucking cool studio design

 

[jxN3]

I hate how bright the work space is.. that shit would kill my poor eyes. Reminds me of being in a hospital or some shit.

 

[Ploid 6.0]

Now that you remind me, what was the secret thing Conan saw? Was it ever revealed?

 

[janusff]

Neat studio

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I hope death strading is amazing because if they fuck this up ....

Same. No idea why workplaces insist on blinding me. My previous employer hated that only used my lamps, but florescent lights give me major headaches.

 

[VaporSnake]

It's the entrance hallway isn't it? Read something about how Kojima wanted it to act as a figurative depressurization chamber, so you can decompress before you leave/enter or some such.

 

[Datajoy]

Its pretty fucking awesome!

 

[Dot-N-Run]

Conan's height makes that statue look like a garden gnome.
