Hideo Kojima Continues Visiting Top Studios; Lands at EA DICE and Mojang

Hideo Kojima has been visiting top studios for quite a while, and today he’s in Stockholm, Sweden checking in with local developers.

'top studios'

[2pacalypsenow]

I didn't know Mojang was a top studio?

[Fin_The_Human]

In terms of sales i think they are top of the top.

Plus MineCrafr is a technical achiveme on it's own.

When you make a game that is now on of the best selling games of all time.......yes, yes they are. They created a pretty epic title and deserve the respect.

[mastershredder]

They should report if he changes his socks too. Seriously, get of his nutz already.

[NerveGearneeded]

im curious what brand of socks he wears. j/k

[BossBattle]

At this rate his next game will release on the PS8.5

[UltraNova]

By then we'll have yearly updates to consoles (if they exist as we know them) so it might as well be 8.3? Hehe

Kojima was never known to take less than 3-5 years to finish games he was directly responsible for. To be fair we are not even sure he even started working on his next title...

That said this is going to be interesting since his deal with Sony is to develop a ps4 exclusive and by the way things are going(assuming ps4.5 gets released late 2016) we will have the ps5 by 2019-2020. That means he barely has time(based on his track record) to develop a ps4 game...maybe the game will be released on both the ps4 and ps5 as a launch title?

First class too! Seems to be getting big bucks from sony

I couldn't imagine being a developer wondering if kojima San was going to show up or not. If he doesn't show, then your not a top developer. Everyone has their Sunday best on and took the plastic off the chairs lol

[opinionated]

Any known developer probably has an industry pass. They know they won't break NDAs and it's fresh eyes or ears. I'm willing to bet not many take advantage of going outside their circle though. They are too busy working. I didn't get into kojimas games until MGSV but I know of his career. I can respect that he broke from his master and his baby to travel to any studio that would have him. Gain as much knowledge as possible before making/running his own studio/business.

[Grap]

why would i care for someone traveling ? news these days...

This visting studio thing irks me especially since it reminds of Steve Jobs vist to IBM and all the crap that followed. hopefully this studios showed nothing important on his vist.

Both DICE and Mojang, some top studios! World class, Wonder what Kojima is looking for and if his game has to do with the teams he is seeing.

ie open world, military etc.
