[@termutis1899]

I️ feel like Kojima is the only one in the gaming industry that wants to make something truly original

[@ghostreflect3915]

Hidetaka Miyazaki

[@MichaelPsyche]

GhostReflect Stole the name right out of my mouth. The only two developing leaders I believe are truly original with ideas.

[@mauricioxyz6481]

jajajajaja OK, so super soldiers with overpowered machines and supernatural skills is original?? that´s sounds like metal gear without Snake.

[@Qarh4]

futuristic super soldier with supernatural power may be not original, but to implement the idea of time rain concept to translate the idea on a platform for story telling and gameplay takes godly creativity itself and kojima deliver it with such class beyond what we usually see today. The idea of time in a form of rain itself is mind boggling. Let just wait what crazy batshit insane kojima came up with, beyond the superficials of futuristic supernatural beings.

[@s7oniu]

Yoko Taro

[@vanpiisu88]

The game industry needs more developers like Kojima.

[@staystrongjoseph]

Gatsu and more like the developers of life is strange :p

[@vanpiisu88]

happy birthday Hella yes ^_^...

[@staystrongjoseph]

Gatsu ❤❤

[@alexincoloralexincolor9668]

Agreed, instead they choose to give them the boot like Konami. But that’s ok because that’s how other companies acquire the best talent.

[@themayqueen666]

And more female developers. 😝

[@corneliusjohnson9521]

Let this guy do as he pleases! He is a genius. Just let him create with no pressure please

[@chadkirk150]

Cornelius Johnson Agreed. Personally I've been waiting for a new Hideo Kojima that's not a MGS game for years.

[@imefix]

after Konami, this man is living the time of his life

[@AnEdibleCokeCan]

They were a restriction, he's moved on from MGS, perhaps not in the way he wanted. Konami ruined their last good game with their bs.

[@imefix]

what I meant to say is that he's like a rockstar ( and after the games he made I'd say a well deserved one) not that he was not held in high regard before

[@AnEdibleCokeCan]

imefix I agree completely. I was simply saying that after some time our great lord Kojimbles was being snubbed by Konami, and they cut MGSV development short after a period of rejecting script proposals he would produce and asking him not to attend E-Events.

[@imefix]

yeah, sorry for that, I misunderstood your comment (read too fast), I was not trying to argue 😅

[@AnEdibleCokeCan]

imefix I know, I was just clearing up what I meant aha. Hope you enjoy this next game though! :D

[@jamalljames3271]

Kojima is a legend with the gaming industry

[@clairevicidomini3199]

yeppers.

[@MadOrange644]

He played us like a damn fiddle

[@rahim.z8837]

Gabe Newell is legend

[@Yeabro555]

Still looks like he’s about 30.

[@gustavobarron2948]

Bryce Nolen or late 20s

[@BadAssDownUnder101]

thats japanese folk for ya

[@clairevicidomini3199]

one day he will get old overnight, like all japanese people of course ^-^

[@Feenucks]

Asian don't raisin.

[@johnbarron4843]

ASIANS DON'T RAISIN 😁

[@zip2kx]

this is more like a Bachelor episode than a video game keynote. It's more about the love story between andy and kojima.

[@zenitrammpr]

Kojimas shoes are pretty dope

[@0xFVCKS]

PUMA, probably a version of the TSUGI Shinsei model.

[@mrnobody8941]

,,After you played 5 to 6 hours, everything will start to make sense''...You are telling me, that Death Stranding is already have made so much progress in development?

[@kuribo04]

Yeah it's done, but being fine tunef

[@anhduynguyen5024]

I think he meant that after playing the trailer back to back to back for 5 hours, everything seemed to make sense. That's why the audience laughed.

[@awesomemark1234100]

Kuribo it is nowhere close to being done

[@kuribo04]

+Ken Kaneki Except he said so. Now comes fine tuning. Which can be the lomgest part of the process but the actor's job is dome, so obviously the ending and whatever happens there is done.

[@Duazzet]

Story is full done allready. All that is to do is all the fine tune on graphics and enivorments etc. But all acting is done and game is fully playable.

[@dlemmuh]

Kojima is the Stan Lee of Gaming.

[@davidgoyena3127]

No. Miyamoto is the Stan Lee of gaming

[@giga_Lion]

I’d say he’s more like Tarantino, and also that’s for games development not “gaming”

[@dlemmuh]

Will Jennings I like that better. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dlemmuh]

David Goyena I was thinking he is more of a Jack Kirby

[@TheKestevon]

Kojima is Michaelangelo of gaming

[@Eichro]

Are you telling me that Death Stranding has actual gameplay!?

[@Shlompskii]

he was absolutely bullshitting

[@louise-gaellempome5488]

Clearly, the underwater part.

[@Jojohumf]

It’s probably has bare back gameplay but nothing too exciting

It was probably a cinematic from the game, but as of actual gameplay running on a PS4 Pro, that's bs.

[@dragexhighwind3929]

Hahaha Jesus Christ you petty haters.. Just get a PS4 ffs

[@ashikaraut5762]

He's a legend. Love him.😘

[@osbely]

Ashika Raut and an innovator. 🤯

[@ZenNeonRazor]

I love how Kojima takes the stage himself like instead of the interviewer, interviewing Kojima, Kojima was the one running the stage, Just don't ask questions and let Kojima-san say w/e he wants lol

[@101taker7]

Hideo Kojima this man his a genius.

[@PublicEnemyMinusOne]

Stanley Kubrick of video games ❤️

[@EdgeOfTimeOfficial]

well said

[@Barney-ii1no]

Note quite, Kojima didn't help fake a moon landing :)

[@TheKestevon]

He is more like Alfred Hitchcock of video games.

[@DeathBringer769]

I think either Hitchcock or Kubrick are good comparisons. Insane geniuses, visionaries, unique style for the time, etc. They also love high concept, mind-fucky ideas (especially Kubrick.)

[@PublicEnemyMinusOne]

Barney tin foil hats are 50% off this Christmas. Get em while they’re hot...

[@tbonebugam1]

He's the master.

[@joshimura1995]

I seriosuly dont want Andrew House to step down as CEo of SIE. The guy was fantastic.

[@m.d.f3797]

It never seize to amaze me how much imagination Kojima have. And how detailed it is. He is creating a whole new kind of game, storyline and gameplay in a time where everything is getting rebooted now.Hollywood is pretty much going in circles now. Reboot older movie, reboot of a reboot, new movie with just about the same plot line like another movie, and a tenth sequel of an older movie, or a prequel. Not just movies, games are also on the same loop. But not this guy. I still remember how amazed i was when i first played metal gear solid a lifetime ago. And now he is still giving me that same feeling I had back then.

[@cfb1199]

The Da Vinci of videogames.

[@DanielGomez-dg5eu]

Sure... Kappa.

[@crashpal]

ironically Kojima gets pissed when somebody tells him "videogames are art"

[@mcede]

I think you mean ‘the Pollock of video games’.

[@313Solidsnake]

This could be the next Metal Gear Solid, much respect for Kojima.

[@MobySlick]

Let MGS rest in peace.

[@313Solidsnake]

Apparently that's not what konami wants with their pachinko MGS games and that upcoming Metal Gear Survive, but for true MGS fans the phantom pain was a worthy finale even though konami messed it up.

[@texasboii5539]

Nearly 2 years of development and prototyping this new IP, and it's already playable and running on the Pro Bravo Kojima Bravo

[@Rune77]

Miguel Rodriguez 3 years actually

[@myoriginalname]

They should hire him at valve to give them a hand with HL3 and maybe get it to come out sometime this decade.

[@1LERS1]

Well, that's actualy an intresting statement. Half Life made by Kojima. That game would've been something Very uniqe.

[@raymondtendau2749]

Raiko Seria It must be unique perhaps.

[@Encoof]

Death stranding's OST is going to be one of your favs

[@solarsoul1617]

Fun fact, they all speak japanese fluently.

[@solarsoul1617]

For the germans, that have to speak a common language.

[@solarsoul1617]

Muricans do not speak english.

[@moxusmarbleized7707]

They may understand what he is saying, and be able to speak it, but translating on the spot is difficult to do.

[@afifakmal9464]

yo, that guy already played the game for 4 hours?

[@Zyrehx]

Afif Akmal apparently :O gameplay e3 2018 ?

[@robertwoodall4330]

I think he was just given an exclusive look into the game. Most games aren't built from the beginning. Many will have a mission from the middle of the game developed first, then the ending, and the beginning with be developed last in order to not have to add stuff after the game is finished. This is why many game demos will feature the 2nd mission of the game, or something along those lines So I think Kojima just gave him an idea of what to expect. He's also listed as the Technical Producer for the game. (And fun fact, he was born the day of the Virtuous Mission in MGS3, August 24th, 1964, which is a full year after Kojima's birth)

[@rizkiimral9020]

Dude that's Mike cerny the architect of PS4 and i think the one going around the world with kojima to look for the engine for the game. So yeah probably he has some access on the game.

[@robertoperalta5200]

no even hideo knows whats going on on his game x)

[@Masterpain33]

oh...he always knows. We will know eventually to.

[@lexzhukov]

KOJIMA IS GENIUS

[@conde.nao.com.d]

Kojima kaminandesu! PW fans remember this gem?

[@trcwrd5810]

Can I get that death stranding necklace that Kojima is wearing?

[@ShadedMemories]

Just buy a 7 Kingston’s Metal USB drives, then put them in a cord on your neck and there you have it.

[@trcwrd5810]

LeafSparks lol

[@TetrologyGamingBattlefield]

Theres only 20 in the world

[@juliebradwell7435]

Snake? What took you so long?

[@opfor_8876]

Julie Bradwell big boss: “kept you waiting huh”

[@juliebradwell7435]

Kojima caminades. KOJIMA IS GOD!!!!

[@trevorkobe]

"Kept you waiting, huh?"

[@iskeypxx]

he got stranded. HAH

[@partogiandreashutapea8441]

Hideo Kojima is Christopher Nolan of Video Game

[@TheRealDioBrando]

Kojima is ten times the artist that Nolan is.

[@MrRushhour4]

Nah more like Tarintino, both make strange movies that succeed in both comedy and drama

[@bigbro890]

Also they share some similarities in a way they reveal their new projects. You never have a clear idea what you are getting into till you actually get to see/play the product.

[@tooweirdtolive-tooraretodi4066]

He also has NOTHING in common with Tarantino. Kojima doesn't make dark comedy pulp action games.

[@solid5502]

partogi andreas hutapea more like James Cameron/ Peter Jackson

[@patrickbateman4425]

Kojima his the best truly a pioneer in the game industry

[@Joeypop145]

I just want to know where I could buy that t-shirt of death stranding

[@sylvialehman]

they are selling already, maybe at kojima productions site

[@CodeeXD]

I want the necklace

[@bubonicvermin7389]

the interviewer seemed like he wasnt even listening lmao

[@bullsheet88]

Seriously just one question about death stranding

[@alimanslayer]

they were too busy worshiping their god

[@eddyheysen7008]

hypeo kojima

[@alex99359]

Kojima wanted to talk about his game but the interviewer didn’t ask him anything about it. Damn

[@shawnwax9576]

Alex Simonson I don't think he wanted to talk about it

[@mex321]

Yeah i don't think he wanted to talk about it either. If he wanted to give more info or wanted to talk about the game then the trailer would've given us more info. Instead we get a vague bizzar but cool trailer that doesn't say much, just like Kojima doesn't say much. The trailer basically reflects Kojima himself at the moment.

[@xenofalcon]

I have this strange feeling Mark Cerny will kill us all one day

[@rnrdesigner572]

Hahahahaha, best comment ever!

[@mex321]

Never liked that guy... he seems so emotionless and angry, a guy you don't want to have at a party.

[@777residentevil]

Kojima should share what he's been smoking for a while.

[@ViceN53X]

Phantom Cigars, maybe?

[@juglansregia1433]

great...12more months...better start saving

[@CleverMetaphor]

24 cans a week, i bet you can do it.

[@journeymanX]

kojima's movements are so animated and deliberate like someone's controlling him,somebody's holding his "rope" while he gets to hold the "stick",anyway kojima is the Kubrick of video games

[@bilko103]

In the game there is death but you don't die you still continue 🤔 I swear the trailers have paradox.

[@PlaystationProduction]

Mr Sharky 92 back in early 2000 his MGS game were playing with your mind, I had to switch controller slot on ps1 to play mind games 😂. Can’t wait to get manipulated in this one

[@bilmohammed5577]

I think he wanted to ask questions about the game but he knows Kojima wouldn’t answer but who really cares how the two met

[@iceclkeyheart3060]

And not one mention of the object on his back seriously

[@escapefromtibet2530]

Icecl Keyheart It's from the game and It's Kojima. So no questions needed...

[@iceclkeyheart3060]

RushingDolphin of course. I was hoping he would reveal some little bits of info here but oh well

[@escapefromtibet2530]

Icecl Keyheart nah that would be too easy...

[@DeathBringer769]

You think he'd give any extra details away? Lol. There's a reason he waited until the public had already seen the new trailer to wear that thing as a marketing gimmick. It's because it's information we already know (that it exists.) He's not going to come out and explain the whole backstory of the technology or anything if that's what you were hoping for, lol. This is Kojima. You're going to have to wait for the game to come out to get the answers most likely.

[@MC-gl7kd]

For how many times his names shows up in the credits he is actually a rather humble man. Very respectable.

[@tomekgrzanka90]

Great exclusive is coming :D

[@lookatmeiknowwhatimdoing6384]

Hideo is the brightest star among stars!! Whatever he do is just breathtaking and unique, I can't wait to see more of his new project.

[@Panyc333]

It is uncanny how much Mark Cerny acts and sounds like Dana Carveys Church Lady character.

[@ashiqurrahman8830]

Mark Cerny is Dana Carvey's Church Lady character.

[@karensbadapples8337]

This message is for Mark Cerney: can you PLEASE make the Upcoming PS5 feature 60 FPS on all games as mandatory. And disregard 4K. We are generally fine with 1080 To 1440p

[@DanyalElia]

AnthonyOMEGA ps5 WILL be able to to play games on 60 fps 1080p on all games as long the games allowed to .... it will have a pretty great spec

[@RCmies]

Why not 4K 60fps? 4K is great. Try play a game on high settings 1080p Then 4K medium settings on PC. It will look better in 4K medium settings.

[@issamthemorrocanjackass2403]

Agree frame rate is better than 4k

[@alwaysalonesoki1217]

AnthonyOMEGA B..but fps and resolution iz not important...

[@karensbadapples8337]

soki and RC this comment isnt meant for you. If you dont like visual masterpieces like Horizon and Uncharted then stop trying to confuse the message

[@ImperialDarkKnight]

Signal light is like alien tracker! The nearer the enemy, the more it will move! It stop for you to start breath and running!

[@reblfist8849]

Evangelion Ming the baby controls it

[@nelsonw9483]

Kojima is such a rockstar

[@trroxas7]

God I want death stranding so dam badly

[@sirleonel2033]

i just can't wait to get my hands on that mads mikkels-EHR i mean, on that game, of course.

[@maikerukazukii]

I just saw him tonight, it was amazing

[@RCmies]

Hide your pyjama

[@satellite964]

PlayStation has so many legendary and talented folks!

[@mauricioxyz6481]

Metal gear was so good but Kojima is the king of the smoke. That game is another metal gear with another name.

[@slipknotfatman]

Mauricio XYZ Totally agree.

[@lucapaolini72]

Mauricio XYZ of course not

[@maxh5005]

Not realy sure if is tactical action espionage genre.

[@pertamanakprimaindra3928]

google Boktai.

[@MNOIR2024]

Man, guerrilla games is amazing, helping this man in your game

[@llc8575]

The trailer is badass and awesome, so do that detector thing on Kojima san back.

[@bas8116]

You'd think a intelligent guy like that having worked in a very international industry for most of his adult life would be competent at having a conversation in English by now.

[@MyNameIsSonsky]

I think that tracker kinda thing on his back is somewhat similar to the radio in silent hill which makes a sound and in death stranding's case it reacts when an enemy is near.

[@spbn0va715]

Hideo Kojima & Shigeru miyamoto are the "Gods" of game design. Cant wait to meet both of them

[@TheCcrizZ]

Gee really asked some nail biting questions...

[@cocobolo_chris]

building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing

[@TheVRSofa]

this is awesome, cant wait. hes a genius heh all hail king kojima!

[@joelschwed7177]

We're livin in 1622 but he be livin in 3622

[@jack_knife-1478]

Xbox is green PlayStation is blue Xbox has no exclusives👈👎😭 But PlayStation sure do!!!👈👍😎

[@RufflezTV]

I dont understand why ppl hate xbox but this surely made me laugh :D

[@t.o.p.4175]

Tim Dev lol

[@alexmercer7786]

Halo ooohhh !!! Burnn

[@dt3947]

Sorry xbox, but Halo and GOW died

[@kaizenspirit4917]

The Xbox has a few exclusive like the ones their fans like to play =Gears of War, Halo, Crackdown. Now I have to say that I'd like to see Cuphead and Ori and the blind forest on Playstation. Those 2 games are really awesome games. But the Playstation has more exclusive games from their first party studios or partners. There is good games on both consoles.

[@u.f.osarechariots9785]

Metal Gear Solid 1 has to be one the best games I ever played for its time.

[@grimsorrowxx9884]

We are not worthy of his creativity! We are not worthy! We are not worthy!!!

[@sdqsdq6274]

for those that didnt know , thats a built on wifi extender

[@mochiasdessert]

Genious yet humble

[@hbizzle8037]

He's too cool

[@nordaemonn84]

So on first watch it looks like H.K waves to the crowd when he first enters, but on further inspection he is making flappy hand motions similar to the sensor device. Perhaps he is implying that the audience is something that the sensor would pick up. In other words, some players are going to be in control of the oil ghosts, while others act as the human characters.

[@skilifavas4016]

9:00 Oh hi Mark.

[@brauliodiaz3925]

It's kind of weird seeing them talking with a translator since everyone on the stage knows how to speak japanese

[@pequod4557]

Braulio Diaz I don't speak Japanese

[@deadmoon16]

Maybe because this talk is intended for fans all over the world?

[@KimseaKh]

I don't speak Japanese.

[@BowTie8Bit]

I hope they produce this for PC's; i will not purchase a playstation and necessary peripherals to play a game, but I will purchase the game to play on a system I already have.

[@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT]

He is amazing.

[@Moshugaani]

The volume in this video is ten times lower than the ads that come in the middle. Not cool. If you check _right click_ > _Stats For Nerds_ > _Volume - Content Loudness_ it says _minus 14.9 dB,_ where as a video with a regular volume is at around 0 dB.

[@Jack-eo1nr]

This genius should live a hundred years longer.

[@opfor_8876]

This guy is my big boss forever

[@Thlormby]

Anyone notice how the weird tracking light only comes on when the wearer holds the funky fetus?

[@azleb86]

Who ever asked the questions need to get another job. Completely ruined this interview.

[@risev10]

The guy asking the questions is the one who designed the PS4 and is one of the producers behind Death Stranding......

[@iceclkeyheart3060]

risev10 doesn't excuse the fact he asked the worst questions

[@Visuwyg]

Good thing he HAS another job. As system architect for PS4 and technical director on Death stranding.

[@RCmies]

I dont think they were even supposed to ask about the game and more about Kojima himself

[@captainfuture5984]

1. The questions were probably prepared by somebody else. 2. A lot of questions were probably screened out because Kojima can't or won't answer them. 3. But yeah, Mark should have asked Kojima about the thing on his back and he should have closed the interview properly which led me to believe Mark Cerny was not prepared for this because... 4. Somebody else was supposed to be the host and they asked Mark Cerny to do it at the last minute.

[@RealDafuh]

Yeah the funny thing is, they say after 5 hours of playing you understand everything of that. In Kojima terms that means: 14 hours of cutscenes and 5 hours of playing :D i love this guy so much

[@bigrecipe7910]

imagine if hideo stopped talking for a moment and the thing on his back moved around like it was following something then he just stops and pretends nothing happened

[@raythefox5594]

I like the creepy microphone sound effect that played when they seated

[@ogloc3719]

The God of PC: Gabe Newell The God of Consoles: Hideo Kojima

[@MrTheil]

Man he’s great

[@ekimmara3027]

I hope they never get that guy to interview anyone ever again.

[@ihab8015]

Bayonetwork1989 302 you know that guy is the lead architect of the ps4 right?

[@ekimmara3027]

soap-pro PSN doesn't mean he is a good choice to interview people.

[@melissayoung4920]

Kojima is God my fave games artist I wish remake metal gear solid solid 2

[@joeyzapata6786]

I agree that Kojima is God by why remake a classic? You mean HD remake?

[@solid5502]

joey zapata there is no God other than the one above.

[@L1Q]

That translator dude is doing a good job 👍

[@witlessrogue58]

A small handful of info is better than nothing. The ocean bit is...what. What?! Not fathoming what you do there, but lookin' forward to it.

[@RaymondArias]

If Hideo can make a game like players can literally get into the game's actual environment like in Sword Art Online, would it be so cool? Virtual reality gaming on its peak.

[@jcman-lp6lg]

Why am I'm so excited for a game on a console I don't even own...

[@ElCapoNinja]

People want to know more about the game , who cares how they met or they favorite memory?

[@marcywantsto7553]

many people care.

[@Thiago52192]

Kojima just want to people don't really know what the game is about right now.

[@mauifisi8720]

It's called an Interview and not gameplay for a reason.

[@TheTray89]

El Capo Ninja Kojima likes to be cryptic so even if they asked there wouldn't of been a straightforward answer

[@BadAssDownUnder101]

i disagree, anyone that knows kojimas games knows it will be good an isnt really worth talking about because his name is well established, if it wasnt an interview than itd be gameplay we want. knowing about kojima connects us to him an gives us insight into the man that crafts some of the best games ever seen.

[@sultan9167]

This man is a legend # hideo kojima

[@user-gq4pb5py3q]

小島さんここでもKONAMI皮肉ってるなぁw

[@cagedstar]

I love him XD

[@hackerino9707]

It doesnt matter if he just speaks japanese as long as he makes good games

[@CaptainMotocycle]

Hacke Rino I'm pretty sure Mark Cerny is fluent in Japanese and I think Andrew House may be as well

[@itsdeonlol]

Kojima San is a LEGEND!!!

[@ghostrideronthestorm]

Kojima Unchained! I want a necklace like that!

[@Oldernator]

Does Kojima choose not to speak english for interviews? because i've seen plenty of videos where his english is fine.

[@asongforthemostbeautifulwo6476]

ManBoob King problem is you always kinda sound a bit dumb while talking in a different language, specially when you’re not very fluid. Atleast that’s how i feel about it.

[@wasantube]

You means the "did you rike it?" one?

[@gamingforaliving55]

Hey could you provide links for where he speaks English?! I haven't really found many where he engages in a proper English conversation

[@snkhuong]

problem is not speaking, it's understanding. It's always easy to speak than to listen

[@lucapaolini72]

snkhuong that’s not true, i’m italian and for me is way more easy to understand than speaking.

[@REDTEROR]

this explains everything. i don't get what the new game is about.

[@jcie3424]

Decima Engine allows Ps4 to compete with PC graphics... but man.. i can't even imagine how good Horizon zero dawn or Death stranding is on PC....

[@AnEdibleCokeCan]

Jay Zie He's always been a genius, particularly given how he manipulates the engine with use of the source code. Unfortunately MGSV never reached it's full potential and was essentially a glorified Beta on release.
