Hideo Kojima’s Early Game Development Journey and Shift to Metal Gear Inspired by ‘The Great Escape
Hideo Kojima, a passionate manga and movie buff, is renowned for creating distinctive games. While at university, Kojima initially pursued film production, hoping that writing awards might lead to movie directing opportunities. However, upon encountering Nintendo’s Famicom, his interest shifted to game development. He faced a challenge, though, as he lacked film-loving friends who supported his pivot into the gaming sector. Consequently, Kojima joined Konami’s MSX division in 1986, which was the only listed Japanese game developer at the time. He was initially disappointed, having expected to work on Famicom games, but instead found himself restricted by the MSX’s limiting 16-color palette. Despite this, he was invited to lead Metal Gear as senior staff in 1987. Given that the hardware was not ideal for combat, Kojima shifted the game’s focus from fighting to an escaping prisoner. He drew inspiration from the Hollywood film The Great Escape, starring Kurt Russell. Fans can anticipate further developments regarding Death Stranding 2.
