Hideo Kojima Games Quotations

I always say this will be my last Metal Gear, but the games in the series that I've personally designed and produced-Metal Gear on MSX, MG2, MGS1, 2, 3, 4, Peace Walker and now MGSV-are what constitute a single Metal Gear Saga. With MGSV, I'm finally closing the loop on that saga.

In the near future, we'll have games that don't depend on any platform,

I want to reassure fans that I am 100% involved and will continue working on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain; I'm determined to make it the greatest game I've directed to date. Don't miss it!

Game creation keeps on expanding, just like the Universe. That is why I keep making games

What I'm doing is creating a game. I'm not making a movie. To make the game more enjoyable and captivating, and to make the player feel like he's present in that setting, we need the cinematic element.

Japanese gamers aren't really into action games right now. They're into role-playing or strategy games with a lot of stats, but action titles are still really popular across the US and Europe.

I want my games to teach a message about life, by presenting situations where the answer isn't a clear yes or no.

Games are a way of escaping reality - that's why you need heroic factor.

Stories in which the player doesn't inhabit the main character are difficult for games to handle.

There are so many games where you fight aliens or zombies, and they have very high-fidelity graphics, but they don't ask the question of why the events are happening.

Games shouldn't only be fun. They should teach or spark an interest in other things.

There are many museums dedicated to technology, artistic endeavors, music, and that sort of thing. From that perspective, I think games really do have a place as a kind of collaborative art or a synthesis of all these various aspects into a whole, and that, in itself, can be perceived as art.

I won't make games with senseless violence. There has to be a reason for it, such as war.
