In December 2015 Hideo Kojima (Hideo kojima) officially left Konami and announced the basis of his own studio Kojima Productions. From the outside it may seem that all the doors were opened in front of the genius: just click with your fingers-and now you are the owner of the company creating AAA blockbuster for Sony! However, in an interview with Famitsu magazine, the game designer said that after farewell to Konami He did not immediately get to his feet.

At the time of resignation Kojima It was 52 years old. At this age, he could already get back, and his family was against creating a new studio. The Japanese did not have sources of financing, and nevertheless he wanted to develop a game with the open world.

“Even when I came to the bank, I could not borrow money, – Remember Kojima. – They told me: “We know that you are known, but you do not have real results”. This is this country – Japan ". However, popularity nevertheless served the developer a good service – one of the employees of the largest Japanese bank turned out to be a fan Kojima and issued him a loan.

Then the boss Kojima Productions I took up the search for the office. Kojima I chose a solid building that would inspire people with faith in the success of the company – then husbands and wives of future subordinates would be less worried. But whenever the game designer found a suitable building, he was asked the same question: “What is it Kojima Productions?"

Works Kojima focused on the west rather than to the home market, so in his homeland he is far from the biggest celebrity. However, this time the Creator was lucky – there was a fan who helped him get an office.

As you can see, in both cases Kojimu helped the reputation that he earned over the years of cooperation with Konami. The Japanese understands this and, it seems, does not hold evil for a former employer: “I became what I became, thanks to the 30 years that I spent in Konami. I am grateful Konami And I can’t deny this connection ".

We remind you that another work Kojima, Death Stranding, will come out already on November 8. News about the game can be read in this section. By the way, do not forget to see our interview with the great storm – not in vain Maxim Solodilov and other responsible persons were so worried!

The best comments

Well, let the great sg call me a famous game designer who went to “free bread” and became successful? Hironobo Sakaguti, which is now riveting a mobile tender for Niponians exclusively for the domestic market? Yu Suzuki, who still continues to make Shenma 3, who has fallen into a scandal due to the sale of it by the publisher, his assir Swini, who looks like the initial Ira PS3 and is played as a DRMKAST with the fact that the Sega still owns Shenma? Yuji Naka? They remember about him at all? Bezhinski where now? I can continue and continue this list, and I will not list the nouses, but the rail developers that were imprisoned on the development of games.
So kodzim is right. In 9 out of 10 cases, such developers actually become nobody.

Of course, he is grateful to Konami, he is a polite Japanese – once, and they gave him work for many years – two.
Although given what features in his native country with the beginning of the “case”, he should try himself just in the West. Perhaps there they would have taken him with arms and legs somewhere.

What is the clinic? Kojima is https://love-casino-fr.com/login/ right.
– Ken Levin
– Clif Bi
– Peter Muline
– Sakaguti
And many others did anything worthy after leaving for themselves, I will only make Remarus that Levin had not released anything yet, but he didn’t seem to be going.

Where the spector became successful? After his studio was dismissed and he left, the Treesk was stably from his hands based on the property of Drisnei’s property of which no one remembers (more precisely, this is his only work after he “left”), and his last work, in the form of Underworld ascentant, is a brutal cheaply scream. We will be objective – at the moment he is nobody, even if you take into account his drying.
But Levin has in question, he did nothing yet.

Patience and perseverance and it doesn’t matter what age you have! Well done, Hideo! This is the potential. And most importantly, the luck was on his side.

After the second, after the second, the part, the part of the part became indifferent to him. He did not want to work on the fourth from the word at all.

Given that it was necessary to make your own universal engine, it is not surprising. Fox Engine now only in pes.

The spector is called everywhere, shines with physiognomy, his name in the credits, in principle, means something, some hype raises.The spector is called everywhere, shines with physiognomy, his name in the credits, in principle, means something, some hype raises.

Yu Suzuki is now also a bunch of intrates from the portals, was on E3, his physiognomy also flickers, Hayy lifts (no) … But this worries someone? He did nothing after he created his office, and Shenma 3 looks like you yourself know that. Is it successful after that? No.

Levin did nothing? Perhaps I have inaccurate information, but he with his studio (in which he is a co -founder) made bioshok and bio -chill infinite at least

I checked a little, he simply renamed the studio, who made the last bio -chill in the Ghost Story Games, but it is not -dependent and belongs to Take Two. Therefore, no, it is not on "free bread".

It depends on what is considered the criteria of success, so if you get to digging up to the wording, then technically Kojima has not yet done anything since he left Konami, except for the huge tsunami hype

Criterion National Tyny: to be afloat, releasing normal games, not a tender.
But at the expense of Kojima you are right, but his studiya and the relevance of Kojima himself lives at the expense of Sonya and without Sonya, he would also become no one on Urvon "was such a time", making mobile phones to somehow exist. Therefore, Kojima has a patron.

By the way, Avellon also remembered, on the topic of the arrogant gamemeracies who did not achieve anything by leaving for free bread

I will also make Remara that technically kodzima is not independent in any way, although he is in his own studio independent. Now its existence almost completely depends on Sony and their finance. Without their patronism, he would most likely be the same homeless person as Suzuki, getting on a kickstarter or riveting mobile phones, like Sakaguti.

Well, this, as for me, is a very bold act of a real leader. It sounds of course pretentious, but few are able to repeat this.
The same BioWare, the situation with which the heart cuts me. The same Casey Hudson could leave EA, rebuild BioWare, go to Sony or Microsoft and make new conditional Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
But these are big risks, not the fact that you will not fall into unknown. It is much safer to sit on EA.

The fact that he takes a bail to open the studio, but he does not have a team, there is no publisher who is attached to him, there is no playing engine. And the studio and the loan amount was opening a large studio for aaa projects. Japan is a rather detached country and past successes “abroad” of bank employees, who may not play the games, they are not worried about.

All your life you devote yourself to a gemwesign in order to then hear from the clerk in the bank “We know that you are known, but you have no real results”.

The Japanese do not cease to surprise with their views on objective reality.

As far as I know, Cozym is not on the suction of Sony, but on quite mutually beneficial cooperation. And he partially financed Death Stranding from his means. Therefore, most likely she will go to PC. If they paid purely Sony, they would wait for PC, like BloodBorn.

I heard that I stretched the development period, did not fit in Time Line, thereby inflating the initial budget. Between 4 and 5 parts 7 years old, which is quite a lot

The language barrier prevented the language barrier with a high probability (he communicates only in Japanese in any interview). Even if you hire a translator – how to lead a studio with a composition that does not understand you? Work in an embrace with a translator is nonsense.

Ba, how much bile. You (however, as usual), some problem with the perception of the world and the game industry in particular, apparently, this is not capable of getting into siege by people.

Well, at least you would provide an example of at least one “game designer, who has succeeded after his departure”. John Romero? 0 – successful projects in Solo, although a man is a wonderful. Peter Moligne? Who first feeds promises, and then none of them unrealizes? Oh, stop, he is not independent. Sid Meyer? Rested. Nothing is heard from Kevin Levin since 2013. Chris Metzen? Retired.
Beautiful Miyamoto and Miyazaki work there. where they work and everything is good for them.
Well, Kojima is the most famous (at least one of the famous) game designer, who founded his independent studio. And if Death Stranding shoots, this will only fix these words.

You, Makoveev need to conduct the heading “I throw the famous substance on the fan”, and not be an editor, maybe then there will be a sense.
