COG: There are certain creators that have shaped the entire video game industry. Whether it’s due to their innovation with gameplay mechanics, art style or even philosophy, auteurs can be credited as pioneers in the medium. One of which is the incredible Hideo Kojima, so join me as I look at the genius behind the man.

"The Belgian solo indie games developer Thomas Waterzooi are today very happy and excited to announce that his cozy puzzler “Please, Touch The Artwork 2”, is coming to the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop on May 23rd, 2025." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Seville-based (Spain) indie games developer QUICKFIRE GAMES are today very proud and happy to announce that their the tactical rpg “Prelude Dark Pain“, is now fully funded via Kickstarter." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Undeniable talents that push their medium of choice forward. Yeah that tracks.
Keighley is that you?
Accurate comparison. The only difference is that Tarantino did whatever he wanted with his career, and Konami and Kojima fans did the equivalent of forcing Tarantino to make Reservoir Dogs sequels for his entire career.
Hideo Kojima’s games and the stories he writes have never appealed to me. However, I generally enjoy most of Quentin Tarantino’s films. I don’t see how Hideo Kojima is the “ Quentin Tarantino of games”. I have never understood the appeal of Kojima’s style of storytelling and game direction. However, I will admit Metal Gear Solid was innovative for its time.
I disagree with this comparison.
