For decades now, acclaimed game director Hideo Kojima has made some incredibly confusing titles that end up being slightly prophetic. People were initially confused by the plot of Metal Gear Solid 2 in 2001, but its dissection of memes and information manipulation has basically come to fruition. Similarly, the focus on PMCs in Metal Gear Solid 4 was initially seen as some sci-fi garbage,🧜 but the military economy in our world has proved the game accurate.
It was eerily coincidental, then, when the coronavirus pandemic broke out earlier this year and echoed the similar disease that plagued the world in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Death Stranding. A title about rebuilding society following the devastation of some global disease, is Kojima actually a prophet? According to him, no, otherwise Death Stranding would have sold better.
In part of a , Kojima notes that he does not believe in fan's claims of him being prophetic. If he truly had the ability to predict the future, his titles would have likely sold better. You'll never be able to claim Metal Gear was a dud, but Death Stranding was only 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:rec﷽ently stated to have been "profitable." That's hardly blockbuster numbers.
Honestly, I feel Kojima is being humble. While prophets might be a bunch of make-believe nonsense, the man clearly has an understan𒀰ding of how the world works. His games take ideas to the extreme but are based on real-world logic. Using that deductive reasoning, he's been able to accurately predict how the military complex would start to creep into daily life.
Death Stranding was likely more of a lucky guess than anything. No one could have predicted the COVI๊D-19 pandemic. It was such an out of nowhere disease and the world hasn't yet caught up to it. The game still naile🏅d how society would react to such a problem, showing the breakdown of a society that was ill-equipped to deal with such an issue.
Say what you want about the quality of his writing and his treatment of female characters, but Kojima seems to have his finger on the pulse of the world. It ce൩rtainly makes for interesting discussions, if nothing else.
