If there is one thing we have learned over the years, that’s that Hideo Kojima He doesn’t think like most creators. His mind never stops spiral with ideas.
But also the most far -sighted artist in the end is faced with the time, and Kojima has thought about it very lately.
In an interview with Edge Magazine, the Stranding of death 2 The director revealed something surprisingly vulnerable and, in the classic Kojima fashion, a little cinematographic: he delivered a USB stick full of “all my ideas” to his personal assistant. Why? As he says: “A bit like a will”.
“I gave a USB stick with all my ideas to my personal assistant – a bit like a will. Maybe they could continue to do things after I left, here in Kojima Productions …
“This is a fear for me – What happens to the Kojima productions after I left. I don’t want them to manage our existing IP.”
Damnation! Kojima, now 60 years old, says that Covid-19 pandemics forced him to re-evaluate his mortality.
“Until then, I didn’t think I was old, you know? I didn’t hear my age and I thought I would be able to create for as long as I live.”
That illusion was broken when he fell seriously.
“But then I fell ill and I couldn’t create anything. And I saw many people around me who were dying at that moment. I confronted myself with death.
“Of course, I recovered, but now I was thinking:” Wait, how old I stayed to make a game or movie? “Maybe I would have been ten years old?”
It is an admission that makes someone think often seen as a creative machine, infinitely imaginative, apparently unstoppable. But under the visual design of high concept and the narration in strati, Kojima is still a human being, one who knows that even the most influential legacies can vanish if not protected.
Despite the uncertainty, he clarified one thing: he has no intention of stopping.
“I want to continue to” create things “for the rest of my life.”
Whether they are ten years or twenty, it is sure to say that Kojima will spend them trying to surprise, confuse and inspire us. And when it is no longer around … well, there is a USB stick waiting to do the job.
