This annual get together of the technical industry’s elite is host to the Entertainment Software Association’s Interactive Achievement Awards. This year, Hideo Kojima will become the 21st inductee to the A.I.A.S. hall of fame, and deservingly so. The award will be presented to Kojima on February 18, 2016 by none other than iconic director, producer, and writer Guillermo del Toro."-- PlayStation Enthusiast

Hideo Kojima calls Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “ideal” for one key reason

Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima heaped praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it “ideal” for one significant reason.

gigoran82d ago

Greatness knows greatness. Simple as that. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, built with a smaller team and with a smaller budget, blowing ubisoft out of the water. It doesn't matter how many devs you have and how much money you throw at it, great studios like Sandfall Interactive will always overcome you.

Kojima states the obvious lol

mastershredder1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

Ideal are you opinions being vacant from any discussion that is not about your own cringy universe Hideo.

The master of Vanity Tech Demos is here to tell us what a good game is. ooooh kay. It's pretty dang obvious without your 2 cents desperately needing relevance. This is just like his GTA grovel a while back. Yuck.

gold_drake1d 15h ago

quite honestly, i havent been able to stop thinking about it ha.

i keep playing it

He’s massively overrated and writes terrible dialogue.

I Owe You An Apology, Hideo Kojima, I Wasn't Familiar With Your Game

Hideo Kojima and PlayStation go together like hobbits and breakfasts. That is to say, they're meant to be together, but they're also happy to serve up a PC port or afternoon tea if the time is right. Kojima's long-time collaboration with Sony means it always feels odd to see his name next to an Xbox logo, like Master Chief appearing on your PS5 or glimpsing your teacher in the big Tesco doing her weekly shop.

Good to see people coming around.

mastershredder16d ago

yawn. ^ All of this opinion piece sounds like someone’s recount when they get out of the norm and go on a hiking vacation and boast about their “life changing moments” over things extremely common and accessible to everyone. Get a rocket ship and take some selfies already. jezzus .

Anybody else gave up reading a few paragraphs in?

KwietStorm_BLM16d ago

It's thegamer. You just skip it off general principle.

jznrpg15d ago

If you missed out on old games it’s nothing to apologize for. Just the way life goes sometimes. We can’t access everything in our short lives.

Kojima has always been full of it... this is another example of his BS.

MrNinosan32d ago

lelo2play has always been full of it, and one of the long lasting trolls here... this is another example of his BS comments.

1nsomniac32d ago

100% the guy is the absolute king of his own bullshit. Kojima and his fans baffle me with how brazen they are with it!

Pyrofire9532d ago

Have you ever cared about something?

__SteakDeck__32d ago

@MrNinosan Obscure has always been full of it and is another troll.

TheEroica32d ago

Kojima is as dumb as a stack of bricks. 🤷 His lust over gamers hating his games is just silly. He's a lousy story teller and he should stick to making games built around compelling gameplay.... The moment a cutscene starts my eyes auto roll.

Z50132d ago

Couldn't even imagine rolling my eyes since 1998

P_Bomb32d ago

Dumb as a stack of bricks? Funny, some comments have the same effect on me. Instant eye roll.🙄

jznrpg33d ago

I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.

anast32d ago

It's a really good game. Heartman is my favorite character.

SlothLordPootus32d ago

I'm playing through it for my first time, enjoying parts of it, and other parts not so much. It's definitely a Kojima ass game in all the good and bad ways. Honestly the combat/stealth sucks ass in it tho, which is really the worst part for me, which is a bit inconceivable given MGS V.

Knushwood Butt32d ago

Exactly. The combat and stealth suck and are just shoehorned in to deliver a layer of challenge.
Hold your breath when going through the same BT areas EVERY time.
Nonsense about weather forecasts when it ALWAYS rains in certain areas no matter what.
Tedious Cliff fights.
Dumb BT fights that you can 100% walk (wade) away from without the enemies attacking you.
Broken lore about dead bodies.
The list is long.
Having said that, I've platinumed both versions from scratch.

-Foxtrot33d ago

Then why do a sequel straight away?

Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

Reverse psychology...ok I won't buy it then.

Eonjay33d ago

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.
