On the verge of death, Metal Gear fans harass him on Twitter: Kojima shares why he made Physint

After Hideo Kojima announced his return to the world of action espionage Fresintthe game developer shared why he decided to do this.

At Sony’s recent State of Play, after we took a closer look at Death Stranding 2, Hideo Kojima revealed that in addition to Death Stranding 2 and OD, he’s working on another game, currently titled for Physint, an action spy game that sounds a lot like it. This will be a new version of Metal Gear Solid. Little is known about the game at the moment, but Hideo Kojima recently launched his new YouTube series, HideoTube, in which he took the time to explain what brought him back to the genre that made him famous. Unsurprisingly, die-hard Metal Gear Solid fans were a big part of what convinced him to do so.

“Every day on social media for the past eight years, users from all over the world have been asking me to create another Metal Gear Solid or something like that,” Kojima said. “Then, in 2020, I got sick. . It was also during the pandemic, so I was sick and quarantined the whole time. I even had surgery. I was like, ‘I can’t do this anymore.'” I was at my lowest point, feeling like I couldn’t anymore Back to making games. I also wrote a will. At that moment, I realized that everyone dies.

“But, I turned 60 last year. I’ll be 70 in ten years. I hope to never retire. Having said that, if users are so eager, I think I should change my priorities a little. I still want to do Something new, but I decided to make an action spy game.”

Kojima also mentioned that he apparently received a lot of requests to make movies in Hollywood, although he turned them down, “Because I have my own company now and I can’t leave for a year or two to make movies. The company would collapse and I would be in a situation It’s tough.” He also spoke to Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro about it, who apparently told him, “Hideo, what you’re making is already a movie. Keep it going. ” His words saved me. And because we’ll be working with a lot of creators in the industry, while the output will be a game, it won’t be too different from a movie. ”

We know next to nothing about Physint at the moment, and considering Kojima Productions has two other games coming out first, it might be quite some time before we find out, so for now you can only guess.
