Hideo Kojima: Aku memilih Sony karena mereka percaya denganku

INIGAME.ID – Sekitar setahun yang lalu, Hideo Kojima mengumumkan bahwa dirinya keluar dari Konami.

Lalu pada 16 Desember 2015, Hideo Kojima membangun studionya sendiri, Kojima Productions yang bekerja sama dengan Sony untuk membuat sebuah game ekslusif untuk PlayStation 4.

Setelah beberapa waktu sempat tidak terdengar kabarnya, baru-baru ini, Hideo Kojima bersama Yoji Shinkawa memberikan beberapa keterangan baru dalam sebuah wawancaranya dengan Famitsu.

Dikutip dari terjemahan yang dimuat di Gematsu, berikut adalah isi dari wawancara tersebut.

Did you not want to take a break after leaving Konami?

Kojima: “I wanted to take some time off, but if I did that my life’s tempo would go out of wack and no one would forgive me. I’ll need about a year to warm up. We’re currently in the temporary office and have made only the logo and web page.”

Regarding the logo…

Kojima: “I can’t say anything yet, but there is a secret to the logo. It has a very cool body, and we even have plans to turn it into a figure.”

Why Kojima Productions is making its first title with Sony…

Kojima: “Offers came in from all over the world, but these places use a Hollywood system, and I don’t like doing detailed presentations. From there, I wondered who would put their faith in me with just a rough concept, and SIE was who I was looking for. We get quite a lot of freedom and they’re really easy to work with.”

Regarding the new game…

Kojima: “It’s an amazing game. We’re thinking about everything all at once, including the plot, characters, and game systems. Since certain parts are fairly new, we cannot help but experiment.

“While not to say that it’s open-world, users who enjoy today’s AAA games (The Division and Uncharted, etc.) will be able to easily enjoy it. When it is announced, you might think ‘that’s not that outstanding,’ but you’ll understand when you see it and play it. The genre is action.”

Regarding virtual reality…

Kojima: “I want to make something with VR, but right now we don’t have anyone. I think VR holds the key to game development.”

Shinkawa: “VR gave me a feeling that was close to playing Famicom around the time I was a kid. I absolutely believe that a new world is being born.”

Seperti yang disampaikan dari wawancara di atas, Kojima memutuskan bekerjasama dengan Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) karena mereka dapat mempercayai konsep kasar yang diberikan oleh Kojima.

Kojima mengatakan bahwa ia akan menggarap sebuah action game yang akan dinikmati oleh penggemar game AAA.

Pihak Kojima juga ingin membuat sesuatu dari VR, tetapi mereka belum mempunyai orang yang ahli di bidang tersebut.

Lalu, kira-kira akan seperti apa game terbaru yang sedang dipersiapkan oleh Kojima Productions?

Seperti Sony, tampaknya saat ini, kita hanya bisa percaya bahwa Hideo Kojima akan mampu menghadirkan karya yang dapat memuaskan para gamers, seperti apa yang berhasil dilakukannya selama ini.
