The director of the video game argues that in the United States they are very fond of first person shooting titles.
Death Stranding went on sale last November 8 on PlayStation 4 and the reaction of the players was somewhat polarized, something that Hideo Kojima himself has justified by referring to the innovative factor of the game. However, in the United States, the criticisms have been tougher, at least according to the creator of the work, who in an interview with the Italian media Tgcom24 recalled that Americans are fans of first-person shooters, a genre Very different from Death Stranding.
"I must say that the game has received very good reviews, especially in Europe and Japan," he begins. “Here, in the United States, however, we have received stronger criticism. It may be a difficult game to understand for a certain part of the criticism and the audience. Americans are big fans of first-person shooters and Death Stranding is not. ”
According to the creative, he always tries to "design new things." He thinks that the discussions are productive, but at the same time, he points out that “the Italians or the French have different artistic sensibilities that allow them to appreciate this type of original products, not only in video games, but also in cinema”.
A look to the future
In the same interview, Hideo Kojima has discussed the future of the study. His intention is to be in the middle, between independent games and blockbusters, to get the positive side of each of those worlds. “It usually happens that some author games are sold only in Japan and receive a low budget. But when they set out to go outside and turn their games into international products, they lose their soul. ” According to Kojima, the bigger the project becomes, the more the authorship of the work disappears. "This also applies to Western games."
Death Stranding tells the story of Sam Porter Bridges, a man who is responsible for carrying out courier orders in a decomposed United States. Soon, you will be entrusted with the work of connecting all cities to save the country from total destruction.
