The next five to 10 years are going to look very interesting for video games, according to Hideo Kojima.
During his storytelling panel at Comic Con 2019 – where he talked Death Stranding, movies, and more with friend and director Nicolas Winding Refn – Kojima addressed the blurring lines between games and film introduced by streaming platforms, the interactive opportunities those open up, and how he thinks streaming will affect the future of our entertainment.
“Gaming will be streaming too,” says Kojima, drawing a direct line between the birth of movies and the theater going experience, to television, and now, to streaming. “In the near future, games and movies will come closer, in a similar category. So I think we’re going into an era with a lot of possibilities. It will not just be interactive or non-interactive, there will be something inbetween as well.”
