With narrative storytelling, multimillion-dollar budgets and A-list casts, Hideo Kojima’s arthouse video games — together with the critically acclaimed “Metal Gear Solid” and “Death Stranding” franchises — are as cinematic as, effectively, cinema. “Things that are too comfortable won’t stay inside the player,” he instructed NCS, reflecting on the usually unsettling worlds he creates. “I intentionally set things up so that you wouldn’t understand everything unless you chewed on it multiple times.” His studio Kojima Productions celebrates its tenth anniversary this month, with the creator already wanting to a busy yr forward. Disney+ just lately introduced that it’s turning “Death Stranding” into an animated collection. A live-action film adaptation by powerhouse indie studio A24 can be within the works. And his subsequent recreation “OD,” a horror title at the moment in manufacturing, was co-written by “Get Out” director Jordan Peele.
