Hideo Kojima: Genius or Crazy

Every gamer knows who Hideo Kojima is. He created legendary franchises such as Metal Gear and Zone of the Enders. What are your opinions on him. Is he a genius? Or is he crazy?

Re: Hideo Kojima: Genius or Crazy

Every true genius is at least a little bit crazy. Kojima is a kickass game designer.

Re: Hideo Kojima: Genius or Crazy

Maybe a little bit of both. Genius and Insanity is fine line.
I guess you need both to create a great franchise such as Metal Gear Solid.

I cannot wait for Metal Gear Solid 4 to get release. I saved up all my sick days just for the game.

Re: Hideo Kojima: Genius or Crazy

A little too much credit for the success in my opinion. But still he's great in what he does and I don't really liked the guy when he "hideo"-ed my television screen while I was fighting Psycho Mantis. And I also didn't appreciate the "fission mailed" when I was fighting the enemy.

I know what you mean Legend, that was very disturbing to see, when fighting a boss. but you can see the genius behind it as well. but the (fission mailed) was so damn annoying that sometimes I would just quit at that point.

as for Hideo being a genius or insane, I must go with both to a point.
granted I really enjoy the MGS games and cannot wait for the fourth installment,
but if something like that happens again. I think I will throw the disc out of my window.

A fine line indeed.

I hear that lots of people who are in assylums--not most, but lots--are people who used to be scientists and mathematicians. But that's aside the point.

I believe that Hideo Kojima is one of the greatest game designers in the history of the business. Metal Gear has been around for as long as I can remember. It's been a success for over a decade. (Maybe over two. I have to do my research. It's been forever since I've actually owned Metal Gear for Nintendo.) I wouldn't call him insane, I would call him a well educated person with a brilliant imagination.

I love his games and I'm dying to play MGS 4!!! I wonder if another Z.O.E is in the works. Hmm...

Actually yes there is a 3rd Zone of the Enders in the works. Hideo Kojima says that after Metal Gear Solid 4 he will be focusing on the 3rd installment of Z.O.E. My opinion on him is that he's one of the most brilliant people in Middle Earth- i mean EARTH.lol

ZOE 3? WHOO! i loved ZOE 2 (ZOE was good, but I perfer 2), Nohman, not the BEST Antagonist, still my hero, well not really I just love him. Also love how you said Middle Earth, lol YAY LOTR.

As for Kojima, he is the sole reason (other than Shigeru Miyamoto, cliche I know) that I am going into the feild of Video Game Developing (also 3D Animation, and hopefully directing). When I was younger I was always like "I wanna be the next Hideo Kojima!!" I still want to, but holding up my own originality. Still he IS a genius. The difference between Genius and insanity is only measured by sucess.

Yeah, ZOE 2 was MUCH better than its predecessor!

Not only is Kojima-san only focusing on ZOE 3 after Metal Gear Solid 4, but he will be stepping down from MGS all together. Konami will still probably make Metal Gear games, but Kojima-san is done after the PS3 release of MGS 4. It's a sad, sad day for all fans of the franchise. T_T

I AM, however looking forward to playing Zone of the Enders 3! I loved the first two on the PS2 (though ZOE 1 was pretty short and dissapointing) and I even play the GBA version of the game every now and again.

Hideo Kojima is the MAN!!!
