The Japanese creative thinks that the novel factor makes it difficult for all players to reach, although he is confident that the positive will spread.
It never rains to everyone's taste, especially in the most risky proposals. Death Stranding, the new from Hideo Kojima, has not left the players indifferent; neither to the critic, who has valued the video game with disparity of opinions. In an interview with PlayStation Access, the creative has acknowledged that he did not expect a unanimous reception, since his proposal is “something new” with respect to other productions in the market.
"I think there will be positive and negative reactions," he says. "This happens when you try to do something new, both in movies and in video games." According to the creator of Metal Gear Solid, when players face something they have not previously experienced it can be challenging. "It was the same when I developed my first infiltration game," he recalls.
Anyway, the Japanese is hopeful: “I hope that with the support I receive from fans, that positivity will be extended, and that in 5 or 10 years people will look back and see a new standard in Death Stranding. Then, I will try to create something new again. ”
