Hideo Kojima announced during this May's Konami E3 press conference that this year, 2006, marks his twentieth anniversary in the games industry. Since his start at Konami in 1986, Kojima has produced and directed some of the games industry's most influential titles. His first game, Metal Gear, is considered the first stealth-action videogame and birthed a genre that's since spawned many of the industry's most popular titles and impacted other genres with stealth influences. Kojima's later titles, both in the Metal Gear series and out, have also established benchmarks of production excellence, merging videogame fantasy with Hollywood-quality presentation, an achievement many games have imitated though few (if any) have matched.
In his twenty years of gaming, Hideo Kojima has established a rather inspirational legacy. Both in his games and in personal interviews, Kojima has waxed philosophical and set in place influences that will likely last past his lifetime. These influences and inspirations, and the games that ignite them, are this philosopher's legacy.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
It's quit funny. All PS fanboys of young age (seen their posts they are under 10 years like ssj/achira) think that Metal Gear was first for the PS.
Funny thing is, it all started on MSX(2). With Metal Gear and then Metal Gear Solid Snake. Those were fun games back then.
That's why the PS was getting so hot in Japan. Because they also still were into the MSX for a long time. While the rest of the world dropped it already.
Get ready for the next drop. PS will loose from Wii in Japan. Rest of the world will get 360 as the first choice. Will MGS evolve to the new king?
Honestly this guy always thinks he can speak for developers worldwide, he also once qouted saying "videogames Are not Art"!
WTF?
Of course video games are art, have you ever heard of concept art for video games, environment artists, ect, ect!
Video Games are art in my opinon!
But Maybe certain Videogames like GTA cannot classify as art because it is to violent, I see some aspects in games like "Halo" and "Meta Gear Solid" as art!
im sick of this guy face he thinks hes the best, The best is the developers of GTA.
I really think this guys games are boring Animal Crossing beats all his games combined.
one of the legendary game developers
