WHAT A THRIIIILLL :CommiePOGGERS:
After last fall’s grand Silent Hill revival reveal event, something similar happening with MGS wouldn’t be a surprise, as MGS remake rumours have been going aroud for about as long the Silent Hill 2 remake ones have, and those turned out to be exactly on the money

Kinda sad the Metal Gear Solid voice actor in question wasn’t David Hayter :kitty-cri:
Let mgs die. It should have the first time 3 came out.
No, keep remaking it forever giving communists opportunities to dissect it politically for new people and post commie pictures of Kojima.
If the Disco Elysium people can get the rights then I’d be dowwwwn. Thst or Brace Belden. Hideo is lib af and understands history worse than I did in the 10th grade. He is a uniquely insane guy and I love his work but aside from mgs2 which I still.maintain is absolutely fucking brilliant, he’s not that bright.
The only lib thing about him I’ve seen is his bizarre and unyielding love of America. Everything he’s made seems anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist and pro-revolution. Have I missed something?
I disagree with your entire second sentence. So loving America makes the second sentence an oxymoron. Give me one example of Kojima being anti capitalist. Dude is a radlib at best.
I think that there’s not necessarily a strict contradiction between the proposition that Kojima is both a Radlib & also Anti-Imperialist/Anti-Capitalist; or at the very least, there would be little contradictory in him being a “Radlib” and liking Che & Fidel, who are by far the easiest Communists to find unobjectionable if you don’t have strongly interrogated political opinions. However, does this also extend to sympathy for the DPRK, or China, for example? Admittedly high bars to clear for most people, but there are few who truly know the way, let alone walk it.
What I’m getting at is that I think his beliefs are more of a moralistic ideological soup than anything. Kojima can absolutely have based takes, and he is probably the best politically educated AAA Video Game Auteur out there. But that’s both a really specific pool of reference, and one that has a generally low bar to it.
But then again all of this is coming from me, and I’m nothing if not a mélange of half-read theory piled on to a number of personal life grievances, so. I should probably not cast judgement is what I’m getting at. :shrug-outta-hecks:

At the very least he wasn’t a lib about China as of 2022: https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/1513325176569888770).
He even recently recommended a Chinese movie from during the cultural revolution period, but I have no idea where you would find this movie: https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/1525322663878852608
Given that these tweets are well after all the uighur and hk propaganda I think they’re notable.
