  • Did You Know Gaming takes a look at the many failed games of Hideo Kojima. Over his nearly four decades in the video game industry, this legendary developer has contemplated making many different games, but far more ended up on the cutting room floor than what got released.

    Kojima's mentality towards making more Metal Gear games reminds me of Sakurai's mentality towards making more Super Smash Bros. games. Both creators want to leave their creations behind and make something else, but either the higher ups want them onboard for the next one, or they can't bring themselves to let someone else do the job and besmirch their franchise.

    That zombie game idea sounds interesting in concept and doable from a technical standpoint but pretty much impossible to execute from a business perspective, why on earth would anyone pay to not play? The servers would be deserted within a week.
    I guess Kojima is one of those creatives that's so interested in doing new things that he finds interesting that he completely forgets that what the players usually want is practicality and to play games on their own terms.

      Perhaps I'm alone here but in Elite Dangerous if you don't pay attention to your navigation path you can run out of fuel and get stranded in space. You can self destruct but losing a ship in Elite when you're already new enough to get lost is a big hit.
      The community started the Fuel Rats, a group of people you can ping on their website and they'll come fuel you up. If asked would Fuel Rats exist before I knew they did, I'd say no. It turned out to be the coolest emergent behavior I've seen in a game (cool for me. I'm still not sure why they do it 😅)
      Point of my rant is I think a lot of things become more probable when the game promotes the solution being the interesting part.

But I'm afraid it still counts as playing, the player isn't immediately and permanently killed if they fail, there's a chance to learn from one's mistakes and come back. The zombie idea proposed by Kojima is more of a case of messing up once and that account becomes useless, and on top of that you're supposed to keep paying for it.

    Boktai has a HEAVY reference in MegamanBattleNetwork4 !!
    The first boss, Shade-man has a weakness to light attack based chips and Django himself makes an appearance specifically tied to this boss

    • @mattwo7
      @mattwo7 Před měsícem +5

      Otenko and Kojima (Director Ozma, even though he's only a producer for Botkai) also make cameo appearance in BN4 and there's Gun Del Sol (shortened to GunSol) Chips that can be program advanced into the PileDriver. Also it's not just Botkai and BN4, Botkai 2 also has a crossover with BN5 where there's a crossover battle mode unlocked using wireless adapters and a cheat code where Django and MegaMan compete to delete ShadeMan. In Botkai 2, ShadeMan returns as an optional boss that rewards Django with the MegaBuster (in spite of getting hit by the Pile Driver _twice,_ now, Shademan returned for the final time in BN5 which was released later the same year) and crossover battle points can be exchanged for a charge shot and more MegaMan armor. W slotting Botkai 2 in to BN5DS gets you MegaMan SolCross, the return of the GunSol chips and a Django navi chip. Then there's Gyakushū no Sabata (Botkai 3) and exe6 (MMBN6) . Crossover Battle 2 features Hakushaku (The Count) instead of ShadeMan. In Gyakushū no Sabata, the Rock Buster returns with more Rockman exe (MMBN) themed armor sets and Coffin Bike customizations. (IIRC, there was also an Otenko obstacle chip at some point? )
      And then there's Bokura no Taiyō: Django & Sabata (Lunar Knights) and Ryusei No Rockman (Mega Man Star Force) . By linking these games in Danjo & Sabata, the title characters (Aaron and Lucian in Lunar Knights) can fight Ox Fire (Taurus Fire) which rewards the player with War Rock (Omega-Xis) as a Terrennial. In SSR, Dango and Sabata help -War- Rockman ( -Omega-Man- Star Force Mega Man) fight Henkyōhaku Raimā (Margrave Rymer) . Also apparently items can be transferred between the games?

      Battle Network 4-6 all have Boktai references! All of them let you use the Gun Del Sol and summon Boktai characters. If you have GBA Wireless Adapters, you can fight ShadeMan in BN5 while also fighting him in Boktai 2. BN6 has a whole sequence with Django and the Count that was originally removed from international releases but restored in Legacy Collection because they’re based on the Japanese versions!

    There's a few indie games with the "raw" concept.
    Usually with a hardcore mode that deletes the save if you die, but also things like (the original) OneShot where you can't start a new game after completing it.
    It's also present in MMO's like EVE Online where your ship is a tangible resource that can be lost forever, or in roguelikes where you start from square one after death.

    There’s an old interview I read somewhere between 2008-2011 regarding Final Fantasy Versus XIII where someone (I don’t remember who, maybe Nomura) talked about their vision for the game and it sounded interesting enough for me to still remember it well over a decade later. He had essentially said he wanted to create a 1:1 scale city that could be fully explored, interacted with, etc. and made it sound like the whole game would take place there or close by. I’ve never really tried searching for it again but I’m always thinking about it anytime I hear about games that never materialized. It would be interesting to see a video with this same premise for Nomura/Kitase/Sakaguchi/the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole.

    I think Kojima falling out with Konami and quitting was a blessing in disguise and perhaps even a relief to him. It really seems like Kojima felt burdened by Metal Gear. He wanted to make other games, but he felt it was his responsibility to be a caretaker for the MGS franchise.
    Now that he has his own studio, he probably has this sense of freedom he hasn't had in decades. I do hope he gets to do all the weird and out there games he had dreamed about while he was at Konami. With his connections, he could probably branch out to other forms of media. I would be very interested in watching a Kojima-written and directed anime, perhaps made by a really dynamic studio like Trigger.

  • @svenbtb
    @svenbtb Před měsícem +1

    This was great, thank you! I appreciate that he's trying to think of NEW things that can be done within the medium. He's always trying to innovate and trying to think ways to push against the boundaries of how a game is defined and what a game can be. Sometimes things work better than others, and some ideas, while interesting, would make for awful user-experiences (like the zombie game). But he's one of very few people I would genuinely call an "auteur" in the world of game development. As much as I love the MGS series, it's almost a shame that so many exist, and it's a shame that was felt to beholdened to the series and like he was being forced to make more to be profitable. I wonder what he would have been able to make if he has just stopped after MGS or MGS2.
    Also, it's funny that they used Tim Rogers as an example of a critic, given that he doesn't see himself as a critic (especially not these days). But I guess he "technically" was when he was at Kotaku and did his blog.
