Kojima Productions chose Microsoft as the technical partner of the cloud project because only they understood his crazy idea.
Kojima Productions recently celebrated its 7th birthday and is in phase 2 with a new studio.
In a new interview with IGN, the legendary developer known for his work on Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid spoke to Microsoft about the cloud project.
The collaboration between Kojima Productions and Microsoft was only announced in June. Therefore, little is known about it so far.
Regarding the possibilities of the project on a technical level, Kojima said that he gets bored easily and is therefore always looking for new technology for his games that he can integrate.
The video game designer has had the project in question with Microsoft in mind for 5-6 years. It requires an unprecedented infrastructure. After discussions with several companies, Microsoft finally turned out to be a partner, since they were the only ones who understood his crazy idea. This was then followed by cooperation on a technical level.
“I tend to get bored easily. One of the reasons I’ve been able to develop games for 30 years is that new technologies are replacing the old so quickly. The technology you use today may not be usable tomorrow, and I’m interested in finding ways to integrate the new. Of course, making the wrong choice can lead to failure. It’s a bit like a space program in that way. The project we’re working on with Microsoft is one I’ve been thinking about for five or six years. The project required unprecedented infrastructure, so I talked about it and gave presentations to many different big companies, but they really seemed to think I was crazy. Ultimately, Microsoft showed that they got it and now we’re working on the project together, also in terms of technology.”
