At Tech4gamers, I cover all sorts of gaming news. Whether it’s a leak of any upcoming game or an update, an announcement, or a rumour, I like to write about it all. Over the weekend, I sit and write features where I talk about games that I miss or want to see return.

Hideo Kojima has worked on titles like Death Stranding and the Metal Gear franchise, and thanks to them, he is one of the most popular and beloved creators among fans.

Just recently, Kojima talked about how one should only publish games that they are satisfied with and the kind of games that, centuries later, even aliens look at and call cool.

Why it matters: It’s great to see that Hideo Kojima is still passionate about making video games and always wants to improve.

In a recent interview with Anan News, Hideo Kojima replied to many fans’ questions while sharing his thoughts as a creator.

Kojima believes that the most important thing every developer should strive for when developing video games is satisfaction. He further stated that he would never publish a game he doesn’t feel convinced by.

If I make something I’m satisfied with, centuries later aliens may come and say, “that’s awesome.”

Kojima also talked about how painters’ arts are appraised 100-200 years after their death, and in the same way, he wants to develop video games that, even centuries later, aliens look at them and call them cool.

In another question, Kojima said that he considers himself lucky to have encountered video games in his life and hopes to continue developing them for as long as possible.

Nonetheless, Kojima Production is currently working on Death Stranding 2, which isn’t half done yet. It has also been claimed that the graphics of the title will improve further in the future. Therefore, we have high hopes for the creator’s next game.
