Hideo Kojima - the famed video game director behind Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding - has reflected on his own studio’s eighth birthday with some sage advice from Guillermo Del Toro.
Kojima was once a creative force at publisher Konami, having fathered and fostered the MGS series for years before working on the much-anticipated Silent Hills in collaboration with Del Toro, the film director behind too many classics to list. Internal tension led to Konami canceling the ambitious horror game, sadly, though it did also lead to Kojima opening his own independent studio.
