Speaking at the “Il Cinema in Piazza” Film Festival in Italy (translated by Genki), the Death Stranding and Metal Gear director said that at least with digital games, users have the data on their systems, something that isn’t the case with cloud gaming.
“Since production is ending in 2028, this is about video games, but I grew up with physical media, so I find it really sad,” he said. “Currently, I’ve been buying up a lot of Blu-rays, such as various movies, and CDs too.
“The situation is different for games [than movies], as they are downloaded to the hard drive, that means the game data remains on your own hardware. However, if things shift to streaming in the future, that won’t be the case anymore.”
It’s a teaser for a game that never came out, I’m pretty sure he had complications with studios. What’s the point of keeping a short demo of a game that was canceled?
P.T. was the announcement teaser that Kojima was to be directing Silent Hills with del Toro but then Konami cancelled it as the company exited the video game industry and Kojima left to found his own studio.
Why blame Kojima for something Konami did without their involvement at all and long after they’d left the company?
Kojima is a they?
The demo is really fucking good and consoles that still have it installed go for a high price. There is demand for it.
What‘s the point of keeping a good game, you ask? Are you serious?
