Kojima Has Recreation Concepts Primarily based On Ideas About Life

One among Kojima’s concepts concerned the passing of time as a recreation mechanic. “It begins out with the participant being born, you’re a toddler after which regularly over time you turn out to be an grownup. Within the recreation, you struggle varied enemies. Like with the earlier instance (MGS3’s The Finish), in case you maintain taking part in the sport, you’ll turn out to be a 70 or 80 yr outdated man. Nonetheless, at this age you’ll be weaker, your eyesight will worsen.

One other recreation idea he has is when the participant creates one thing that takes time to age/mature similar to wine or cheese. This may require the participant to proceed regularly taking part in the sport over an extended time period.

The final concept is probably the very best one, and it is a couple of “forgetting recreation” the place the participant should “play by rapidly.” The core idea of that is the principle character regularly forgets essential data and talents if the participant takes too lengthy of a break from the sport. For instance: in case you do not play the sport daily, the principle character will regularly neglect issues similar to methods to hearth their gun and even what their job is.
