Over the weekend, Hideo Kojima shared his thoughts on why his latest video game, Death Stranding, may be receiving mixed reviews, particularly from US games press. Kojima’s quote spread quickly online, but IGN has acquired an updated translation of why Kojima believes Death Stranding is receiving mixed responses in the US compared to Europe and Japan.
In an interview between Hideo Kojima and Italian game website TGCom24, Kojima says that the American preference for first-person shooters may have affected players’ response to Death Stranding. An original translation of Kojima’s response also suggested that Death Stranding was better than a shooter. However, IGN’s version of the quote finds that part to be inaccurate. Here is our independent translation of Kojima’s answer.
