Kojima: Death Stranding Is a “New Genre;” Similar to How MGS Was Called Tactical Espionage Action

Since the latest reveal of Death Stranding left fans with plenty of questions, today Director Hideo Kojima took to Twitter to clarify how he feels about the game’s genre.

This is funny lol

Hey, don't hate on that. It's how we get our games in the mail on release day.

If you live in an up stairs apartment, I want to see them use ladders to climb to your balcony to deliver it.

Game looks incredible. Cannot wait Kojima!

[smolinsk]

Does Kojima himself know what this game is about? Nothing makes any sense with this game, I think it's gonna be the same when you play it, you don't know what the hell is going on..

[Thundercat77]

Are you joking? Just because you don't understand it you think the developer doesn't understand it? What kind of retarded logic is that?

You clearly doesn't know Kojima. Any Kojima fan knows how he likes to manipulate the media and confuse everyone. This is normal business for him.

[NarutoFox]

Retarded logic 😁😁 I've heard it all

[Juusterey]

obviously if we don't understand after a few trailers
the people behind the games don't either
get it?

[smolinsk]

No it's like he is just making it weird for the sake of weirdness, typical Kojima the last couple of years, medicure games that's just way too surrealistic and weird that only a stoned and high Kojima knows what's going on.... Not fun to play, not player friendly games. The last 2 or 3 games have been that way.. His fan group has gotten very small and only the most hardcore fans are gonna enjoy this.

It's nice that he is trying new stuff and pushing the creativity barrier, but it's just not fun to play his games by now.. Go make a movie instead..

[Ratchet75]

May I recommend games like super Mario, Pac-Man....
They shouldn't be to taxing on you.

Oof 😂

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Can only assume you're trolling

[smolinsk]

No sorry to disappoint you, the things I'm saying are what's gonna happen, wait and see, the game is gonna turn out a little to artsy to enjoy..

[KwietStorm_BLM]

"the game is gonna turn out a little to artsy to enjoy.."

I don't even know what that means..maybe the plot is too far over your head to enjoy what it is? Regardless, this is what Kojima always does, so there's nothing out of the ordinary here. You're basically falling for all the misdirects and layers to the story before it's even been released.

[smolinsk]

It's like surreal art to be exact..
It just look and feel exactly like his last two games, boring and not fun games to play because they became to dreamy and surreal..

[Kubark]

I'm fan of this game but it is quite inscrutable, at least for now anyway. I think Kojima takes after David Lynch a bit. No surprise Kojima's a fan of his.

Fetal Strand Action........................ .........I’ll see myself out.

A master at work.

[BenRC01]

Good chance of this being utter trash. If he's been allowed to indulge his every whim we could end up with complete nonsense from someone who's not quite as smart as he likes to think.

[Juusterey]

Still better than trying to pander
hope he makes what he wants and considers what the pubic wants to be an afterthought

[AshleeEmerson]

I believe his genius is measured by those who understand him... he's creating his version of art. There's a good chance this could end up being a phenomenal game. Some would argue that they didn't like Picasso's art and that since he had a full pallet of colors before him, unhinged by his imagination, it could have still done better by having parameters and limits.

I think what Hideo Kojima is creating is freedom...

[KwietStorm_BLM]

It's funny as hell seeing people say he isn't as smart as he likes to think, when he's never even put himself out there like that. He's a creator just like anyone else in his field. He just is more imaginative than most. But people show their insecurity in their own mind when they say his work in nonsense.

Bad Babysitter Simulator? 😂

[BlackDoomAx]

Creepy tactical delivery simulator.

Some Gamers are weird...
