Are there real creators in Japan? The reason why Hideo Kojima sticks to "writership"

In entertainment, what is originality, that is, "authority"?

For example, in recent years many so-called "original things" have been created in the entertainment industry. One of the reasons may be business risk. If it is a popular original work or a sequel to a series that has been popular for a long time, the sales are easy to read, and conversely, it is difficult to recover the original work once it fails.

“If this situation continues, Japan will end.”
It is Hideo Kojima, the world-famous game creator, who calls the alarm.

offcourse Japan was always superior in visual arts as videogames .....nothing from west comes close to them and that s hurts as i m " aboriginal " european and our developped countries cant match even to the minimum japan superiority in this sector ....if mobile garbage industry hadnt dominated their market we would have seen miracles from Japan ...PS4 started to change this for bit and for the better

Japan needs to stay weird for good reason. Nuff said

Turn based anime was never my thing,
neither is anime in general. And as much as I loved MGS, Kojima’s overly convoluted storylines are what I cared for least about those games. Don’t know why any game with realism, live action, and a non-fantasy story that can be followed gets called “westernized”. White-washing so many of their characters doesn’t really help either. I’m sure westerners are the reason for that too?...

“But white skin isn’t only about being Western. In Asia, there is a deeply rooted cultural notion that associates dark skin with poverty and working in the fields, whereas pale skin reflects a more comfortable life out of the sun and, therefore, a higher socioeconomic status.“

Stop trying to blame things where they don’t belong. Asian cultures have had issues for centuries over lighter skin without our interference.

Japan has its own unique thing they should stick to their style of games. When those publishers chase western trend they tend to not have much success

Yakuza is a clear example of that I think it was ahead of it's time until Yakuza 0 really gave the franchise the boost it need and brought awareness

And still, those come off as a modern day Sega arcade-ish titles that should have been made around the same time as Shenmue

This is more of a general gaming problem imo rather than Japan centric, too many publishers and devs play it safe by making cheap and crappy GaaS and mobile games, the main problem is consumers eat up this kinda games and ask for seconds and dessert. Whilst the games that dare to be different or try something new are considered 'boring' and a waste of time.

His writing lately is garbage though. So much of deat stranding is literally nonsense. Metal gear 4 had tons of terrible jokes and scenes thst could've been cut too. Kingdom hearts 3 has a japanese writer and that is also pure nonsense that would've been barely acceptable in the ps2 era. Most of the anime inspired games and recent jrpgs are generic trash with bad, simplistic writing as well. It has been awhile since any well written games have come out of Japan. Only the Yakuza series and Judgment have been consistent. Kojimas arrogance is a joke.
