The Stupidest Ideas That Actually Made It Into a Kojima Game

If you like this video and would like to see more like it, make sure to subscribe to Eurogamer on YouTube. With Death Stranding 2: On the Beach being a game of the year contender, it's worth reminding ourselves just how unhinged Hideo Kojima can be. He has been gaming's best known auteur for decades, and his sheer talent for pushing the envelope can't be disputed, and yet, his fixation on bodily functions, toilet humour, and titillation is on full display in every one Hideo Kojima's games. So what are his daftest ideas that actually made it into published games? Well, here's what we think... but there's so many, you can probably tell us what we've missed in the comments. With Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima made the case for video games as a rich storytelling medium, and this innovation ultimately paved the way for modern gaming as we know it. With Death Stranding, he teamed up with popular television actor Norman Reedus to deliver a new kind of experience that pushed the boundaries once again. Also, you can make grenades out of poop. So yeah, there's that. This video was created by Jim Trinca and was originally featured on Eurogamer.

7 Metal Gear Remakes We Need After MGS3 Delta
1 year, 1 month
-
Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater gives the PlayStation 2 classic MGS3 a fresh coat of Unreal Engine 5 paint, tweaking some of the gameplay to give it a modern feel, but keeping things pretty much how we remember them. But once that’s out of the way, what should Konami remake next? Let’s weigh the pros and cons of remaking and releasing some of the obvious classics like the original PS1 Metal Gear Solid (which already got a Game Cube remake with Twin Snakes) or the PSP fan-favorite multiplayer Peace Walker, which got an overhaul already for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on the HD Collection. Then there are some that might be a little more complicated to remake and market, whether it’s the ancient MSX games that started the series, Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, or the PSP tactical card game RPG Metal Gear Acid, or Snake’s Revenge, the weird unofficial/un-Kojima NES spinoff Snake’s Revenge. Metal Gear Solid Delta hits Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and PC on August 28th, 2025, keep an eye on IGN for our review!

Are Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid too reliant on cinematics? We worked out just how much of Hideo Kojima's games are cutscenes! From the likes of Snake Eater, The Phantom Pain, Guns of the Patriots, Sons of Liberty, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and more. Could you just watch a Metal Gear Solid movie, or a collection of every Death Stranding cutscenes, and still enjoy Kojima's single-player stories? From his time at Konami to Kojima Productions, we try and answer whether or not there are too many cutscenes in a Kojima game.
