Hideo Kojima Talks About How LEGO Helped Make Metal Gear Solid, Shows Off New _Fox_ Engine

If you follow Hideo Kojima on Twitter, then you know that Solid Snake’s daddy was talking at the University of Southern California last w69 slot ทาง เข้า night. But he didn’t tweet about what he talked about. Joystiq’s Mike Schramm was in attendance and has a write-up with stories that confirms that Kojima’s always been as quirky and driven as his games make him out to be. In a discussion moderated by Game Trailers’ Geoff Keighley, the Japanese game design guru revealed that he actually majored in economics and the desire to craft narrative made him an outlier amongst classmates. Kojima also described how his workaholic habits—an average of four hours of sleep a night!—got him in trouble with his wife, courtesy of his son:(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); He also told the story of his son coming into the office with him while designing Metal Gear Solid, when the designers sometimes used Lego pieces to put the levels together. His son returned to his wife, who was already unhappy with the amount of time Kojima was spending away, only to report that his Dad “plays with Legos [SIC] all day.” Kojima also showed the tech that’s going into the his dev team’s future work, showing off a jungle level that took only a half-hour yono all app to build but that still sported built-in AI and collision, despite the quick build time.
