Kojima talks about creating story in games: I’m not very interested in multi-ending story technique

Kojima is not a fan of putting multiple endings in a game, he said in the online series The Game Makers, created by The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences.

And that's fine for Kojima's games if that's his thoughts on it. I do like a solid story.

But I wouldn't take games like Way of the Samurai any other way. The multiple endings in that story besides the multiple weapons made it what it was as a game. Love this game and those like it.

Yeah, for some games it works really well, especially titles like Heavy Rain and Until Dawn.

True.Lol! Know what's funny?

I reread what i said...

I said "I like a solid story"...I didn't notice I had made a metal gear pun until I looked at the word solid.

That's funny.

I def enjoy a multi ending game.

But I do understand why Kohima wouldn't want to make one. He takes his story very seriously so I bet if he wanted to do 2 dif endings he would have to craft almost 2 dif stories and increase his dev time considerably.

The dude has retconned his own story about 50 times, I think he's not the best person to take story advice from.

It isn't even meant as advice, he just explains his own methods and preferences, as do the other creators in the video.
