With this feature, we’ll be taking a look at some of the best games from the last five years, from action-adventures to RPGs and more.
Hideo Kojima brought in the new year by talking about the "second phase" of Kojima Productions and his plans for the studio.
As live-service remains a risk and most co-op titles fall by the wayside, single-player games continue to dominate the industry.
Kojima noted in a recent Q&A video that he always considers his most recent release as being the best one he has worked on so far.
“We gave a lot of thought to difficulty,” Kojima said, noting that the original Death Stranding had a few “pretty sharp edges”.
Sony has already confirmed that it will showcase Saros at the event, and Death Stranding 2's PC release is rumoured to be unveiled.
With such a packed year of acclaimed video game releases, which one will run away with the most coveted award of the season?
Instead of 505 Games, which published the original, it seems Sony Interactive Entertainment could publish the sequel on PC.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has also scored a collective 19 nominations between Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yōtei.
"If someone plays my game and, years later, thinks, ‘I wanted to keep going because this game cheered me up,’ that would make me happiest."
“It’s the same person making the games, right? So it’s kind of unavoidable in that sense," said Hideo Kojima about the references.
Hideo Kojima's previous works, like Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, surprised players by switching the protagonist early on.
"I didn’t really deliberately make it weird or anything," per Kojima. "What I said was it can’t be a game that is digestible."
The event will celebrate Kojima Productions' first decade, while also providing a look at some of its upcoming new projects.
In an interview, Hideo Kojima spoke about being done with Death Stranding as he considers the ending of On the Beach to be a finale.
Hideo Kojima doesn't want to make any changes to his games that would make too many changes like George Lucas did with Star Wars.
The update for Death Stranding 2 also brought with it a host of fixes for other minor issues, as well as some overall improvements.
He also noted how, during the recent Summer Games Fest, so many games looked similar about taking on alien or medieval monsters.
Kojima Productions has released infographics that reveal the most popular tools, vehicles, weapons, and structures that players used.
